Hyundai: Kona N may go all-electric if it is what the buyers want

The current Hyundai Kona lineup was completed with the recent reveal of the EV version joining the petrol and hybrid variants already on sale. There is also the N-Line modification around. But wait, where is the Kona N flagship?

Speaking at a press-conference dedicated to the launch of the Kona Electric, a Hyundai executive admitted that there was still no finite decision on whether to produce the second-generation Kona N. The first one was a petrol-powered performance SUV, but the newcomer would have to be all-electric to stay in line with the latest trends.

He also hinted that the decision would depend on how well the audience would react to the upcoming Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Should that model enjoy brisk sales, the Kona will soon follow up with an N spec of its own. It remains to be seen whether it will have just one electric motor or multiple.
