#HyundaiN #Neverjustdrive #HMETC

Born in Namyang, honed at the Nürburgring. Hyundai N isn’t named for just a place, it’s the experience you get around every N-shaped chicane, corner, and hairpin. It’s fun, heart-pumping excitement that you can own and N-joy.

Do more than simply drive, enjoy every second of it.
Never just drive.

I've had my i30N 2 & half years...it still puts a massive smile on my face...best car I've ever driven. Hats off to Hyundai, fan for life 💙

[PrinceofPeace]

I got the N line for a more realistic everyday use. Got a lot of grunt but nothing too crazy, just fun to drive.

[benitezjoe]

That's why hyundai is better than toyota.

I bought the 1st generation Veloster N with a manual shift option. The car is extraordinary for daily use and sports driving. I could use the car for carrying things, enjoying a track and making others happy. If you have a bad impression on HMC due to extremely normal and tedious driving experiences, you will feel like being deceived when you are in N.

honestly. N is the not fastest but there is something makes me exciting.. this is the reason why most person applaud for their effort

벨N dct 출고 1년차, 너무 재미있게 타고 있습니다. 앞으론 후륜 구동 N도 나왔으면 하는 바램이에요.

Hyundai just destroying their bad reputation from the 90s in a big way. Love my Veloster N, not the fastest car I have owned but the most fun hands down.

You guys have a chance to test-drive and purchase i30N in Europe. In Korea, where Hyundai is originated, they don't sell i30N neither i20N... :'(

[fromisheon]

Whatever you do please put manual transmission option in all N model.

[Subaru]

They never mention why the colors are red and black on the N.

[Projktkarus]

Why Europe got the good stuff. Bring some here in the US please 😢

[Ikkek]

Doe the new i30N got wireless CarPlay ?

[steffidas]

I think eventually South Korea will get the resources to move hyundai to next level and there will be nothing called hyundai in Europe or usa yes there will be offices and branches but the original manufacturer shall retain its originality
