Hyundai’s N Track Day: Taking to the Track with Two of Hyundai’s Best
Photo: D.Heyman The Hyundai Kona N and Elantra N Auto123 gives you an on-track review of the two hottest new Hyundais . We recently drove the Elantra N and Kona N at Mosport.Bowmanville, ON - Like any manufacturer these days, Hyundai sees its future as very much an electrified one. Of course, “future” is a little off the mark - their popular Ioniq 5 EV is very much here, now.
To show us what’s what, they dispatched us to the fabulous and world-renowned Canadian Tire Motorsports Park just outside of Toronto, Ontario and let us loose at the wheel of the two latest models sporting the N moniker: the Elantra N sedan and Kona N compact crossover .Photo: D.Heyman Our driving instructors Well, not completely “loose”, since each of us were paired with driving instructors that have cut lines on racetracks the world over, in race cars of all stripes.
They both get all sorts of special body additions that their more-sedate siblings – including the “N-Line” variants each model gets -- do not. The Elantra N is the only model in the lineup that gets two massive tailpipes and that sizable rear wing, while the Kona N gets a wing of its own, special 19-inch wheels and a host of other exterior trim bits to help differentiate it from other Kona models.
Out on the track, those tires -- coupled with the Kona’s higher centre of gravity -- means you will get more body roll through the turns and since you’re sitting up higher than you do in the Elantra, the environment does seem a little too alien for the Kona.
