Hyundai set to bid farewell to petrol powered N models. Check details
Hyundai is gearing up to introduce the Creta N Line in India next month, marking the third N Line model to debut in the country. The introduction of the Creta N Line in India is expected to further strengthen Hyundai’s position in the region and cater to the growing demand for high-performance vehicles.
Earlier the company launched the Ioniq 5 N for the glonbal markets, which has received a positive reception from customers worldwide.
In Europe, The Ioniq 5 N stands out as the sole full N car in Hyundai’s lineup, following the discontinuation of the i30 N and i20 N models. These models, particularly the i30 N, played a crucial role in establishing Hyundai’s N brand and credibility among European hot hatch enthusiasts.
The Ioniq 5 N features an 84 kWh battery pack that drives a 222 bhp front motor and a 378 bhp rear motor, delivering a combined output of 601 hp (448 kW). When Boost Mode is engaged, this power increases to 641 bhp. Hyundai’s answer to the Kia EV6 GT can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 260 kmph.

Carscoop has reported that Hyundai has decided that production of internal combustion engine (ICE) N models for the European market will be ceased in February. This decision aligns with the company’s commitment to offering a zero-tailpipe-emission lineup by 2035 and operating 100% carbon neutrally by 2045. Moving forward, Hyundai aims to develop Hyundai N as a leader in high-performance electric vehicles (EVs), leveraging technological advancements to enhance the appeal of EVs in the future.
