Hyundai: More petrol N performance cars coming, and they'll be affordable
"We are not limiting ourselves into EV," Hyundai N boss Joon Park told UK outlet Car.
"But this is some kind of tendency after we launched Ioniq 5 N, because Ioniq 5 N was a huge message for the entire car industry. And a lot of people thought, and think, that Hyundai N is going towards only EV. It's not true.
"We are not focusing on EV only. We are not. I'm not the person who actually really likes the EV. I've always liked the smell and the sound and all those kinds of race cars."

Hyundai has discontinued its petrol-powered i20 N and i30 N hot hatches in Europe, but they continue to be produced for our market.
Moreover, Hyundai also has the i30 Sedan N – aka Elantra N and Avante N – for markets such as Australia, South Korea and North America.
The i20 N and i30 N may be dead in Europe, but they're reportedly set to be reborn, with Car reporting word from Mr Park that his engineers are working on a hybrid-powered replacement for the hot hatches.
They'll still be accessible to punters, too, unlike the Ioniq 5 N, which is more than twice as expensive in Australia as even the priciest i30 N.
"Hyundai N has to be reachable. We actually want to play with our friend groups, with a proper-priced car and reachable price cars – we are not talking about a luxury exotic car," he said.
"We are talking about the Hyundai N level. In that case, where should we go? Where nobody else is existing anymore, except for [the VW Golf] GTI."
Hyundai axed the i20 N and i30 N in Europe in 2024, and at the time said this was "in line with our commitment to offering a zero-tailpipe-emission lineup to our customers by 2035 and to operating 100 per cent carbon neutrally by 2045".
"The discontinuation of i20 and i30 N was a disaster for me. But it takes time to have a new one," said Mr Park.
He suggested it would be harder work getting an i20 N replacement approved given that, typically, the smaller the vehicle the smaller the profit margins.
He said the turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that powers the i30 N won't appear in a successor model… at least not in Europe.
"I'm responsible for the global market. Europe is not going to be easy," he said.
"The 2.0-litre turbo engine for 280PS [206kW]… That cannot exist anymore based on the current regulation and future regulation."
Whether Hyundai could keep the 1.6-litre turbo-petrol engine of the i20 N alive with electrification is unclear. A version of this engine already features in hybrid crossover SUVs from the brand such as the Tucson and Santa Fe.
Hyundai has never offered a hybrid N model. It now has three separate petrol-powered N models – the i20 N, i30 N, and i30 Sedan N/Elantra N/Avante N – as well as two electric ones in the Ioniq 5 N and the just-revealed Ioniq 6 N.
The Korean automaker is planning a significant expansion in hybrid sales.
Per a plan announced last August, it wants to sell 1.33 million hybrids annually by 2028, an increase over 40 per cent compared with its global sales plan from the previous year.
To that end, it's launching a new 2.5-litre turbo hybrid powertrain that's debuting in the next-generation Palisade large SUV.
Hyundai has already confirmed the i30 Sedan N will move to a 2.5-litre turbo four, up from a 2.0-litre. That appears to open up the possibility of hybrid power for that model, though the sports sedan has never been sold in Europe.
In addition to conventional hybrids, Hyundai also offers plug-in hybrids (though none are sold here presently) and is rolling out extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) that incorporate a petrol engine used as a generator.
It's unclear whether Hyundai would develop N vehicles with this technology, or with a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain like the retro-styled N Vision 74 concept.
Development of Hyundai N vehicles is centred in Europe, along with the new Magma performance vehicle line for luxury brand Genesis.
"There's been so much innovation at Rüsselsheim and some major investment. Our new building opened a couple of months ago, and it gives us so much more possibility, and allows us to develop EVs," Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Center managing director Tyrone Johnson told Car.
"We're going to be developing our own products in Europe. All [Genesis] Magma products will be developed in Europe, for the world – nothing will be developed in Korea."
Australia is a major market for Hyundai N vehicles.
While VFACTS industry sales reports bundle the i30 N with the rest of the i30 lineup, we know exactly how many i20 Ns are sold here because Hyundai doesn't offer any non-N i20 variants.
To the end of June, Hyundai has delivered 723 examples of the i20 N in Australia this year. That's more than the Skoda Fabia (164) and Volkswagen Polo (401), both of which offer a wide range of variants.

Hyundai may have just revealed its second electric N performance vehicle, but that doesn't mean petrol power is dead at its go-fast division.

Woman reveals $3 Temu product solves common winter car problem
A woman has raved about a $3 product from Temu that solves a common car issue, calling it the 'best money she has ever spent'. Nicole took to TikTok to share a clip of her bargain purchase from the online marketplace – a tiny squeegee for her car side mirrors. In the video, she shows her frosted-over side mirrors from the driver's seat, extending the $3 device and quickly clearing the mirror so that she has complete visibility. 'Best $3 I've ever spent,' she declares. Other social media users were equally impressed with the handy little device. 'This is revolutionary,' one social media user commented. Another said: 'OMG I need to get one of these.' 'I got one of these. Best thing ever,' another happy customer declared. Fellow social media user Alexandra posted a very similar clip raving about the gadget. This time, the video featured the popular song Car Wash playing while she cleared the side mirrors. 'If you haven't got one, you need one,' she said. Kmart also stocks a car side mirror squeegee, which sets back customers $5, and Amazon also stocks similar products. It's not the first time a cheaper item has been used to solve a routine car problem, with a woman keeping a $2 pair of tongs from Kmart in her car. The social media user, who goes by @ on TikTok, said whenever someone new jumps in her car they ask about the Kmart item. 'Great question, I have an even better answer,' the young woman explained, saying she wasn't the best driver. 'But you know when you come up to those boom gates at the car park and they've got a little ticket machine? 'I can never get close enough so I just whip out my handy dandy tongs.' The driver explained she uses the tongs to grab the ticket with ease, revealing that if there is someone behind her waiting she always checks the review mirror and catches them laughing. The driver said she'd rather be the 'weirdo with the tongs who is low-key kinda smart' than the person struggling to get a ticket who holds up the line behind her. Social media users had a strong reaction to the hilarious hack. 'I always have to put my car in park, take off my belt and lean out the window or open the door,' one person complained.

2025 Hyundai Ioniq 9 price and specs
Hyundai's most expensive vehicle yet in Australia is now on sale. The Hyundai Ioniq 9, a flagship three-row electric SUV, is coming here only in top-spec Calligraphy trim and wearing a price tag of $119,750 before on-road costs. The seven-seat EV is available now and the only options are digital exterior mirrors and a six-seat configuration. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The Ioniq 9 is the first Hyundai vehicle in Australia with Digital Key 2.0, a smartphone-based key that can be used to lock, unlock and start the vehicle using near-field communication and ultra-wideband technology. This feature doesn't require a mobile network signal and, depending on the smartphone type, will continue to function even if a user's smartphone battery is flat. Users can also share digital access to the vehicle with up to 15 devices. Also debuting in the Ioniq 9 is Google Places Search, allowing users to use text search to find places using a specific text string – for example, "restaurants near me". The Ioniq 9 rides Hyundai Motor Group's E-GMP platform, a dedicated architecture for electric vehicles (EVs). This also underpins the similarly sized Kia EV9, which is the Ioniq 9's most direct rival. The EV9 is available in three variants, though the flagship GT-Line – most comparable to the Ioniq 9 – is priced at $121,000 before on-road costs. The Ioniq 9 is the priciest Hyundai yet, surpassing even the Ioniq 5 N high-performance electric SUV, which is currently priced at $110,383 before on-road costs. The Ioniq 9 is being offered here only in dual-motor all-wheel drive guise, with a pair of 157kW/350Nm electric motors. It rides on MacPherson strut front and five-link rear suspension, with a self-levelling damper system to help reduce sag when loaded with heavy cargo. Hyundai claims it takes as little as 24 minutes to charge the Ioniq 9 from 10 to 80 per cent using a 350kW DC fast-charger. While it rides on a different platform and has a longer wheelbase, the Ioniq 9 has an almost identical footprint to the upcoming second-generation Palisade large SUV. The Hyundai Ioniq 9 is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre vehicle warranty and an eight-year, 160,000km high-voltage battery warranty. Under Hyundai's Lifetime Service Plan capped-price servicing scheme, the Ioniq 9 requires a service at 24 months/30,000km which costs $660, and then one at 48 months or 60,000km which costs $685. The Hyundai Ioniq 9 has yet to be tested by ANCAP or Euro NCAP. Standard safety equipment includes: There's just one Ioniq 9 trim level offered in Australia – the top-spec Calligraphy. Standard equipment includes: Also included is a complimentary five-year subscription to Hyundai Bluelink connected car services. This is transferrable to subsequent owners within the five-year period, and includes features such as: Digital exterior mirrors are a $3000 option. A six-seat configuration is available for an extra $2000, replacing the second-row three-seat bench and bringing: Metallic and pearl exterior paint finishes cost an extra $750. These comprise: Matte paint is a $1000 option.
