Hyundai introduced its new performance-oriented N division just a few years before the global shift to electrification. So far, every single N model has been a hit for its balance of driving fun and usable performance. Now, Hyundai N is getting ready to carry forward that newly established identity in the world of EVs. Celebrating […]
If you’re in the market for a “hot” hatch, the only option you have right now is the Hyundai i20 N Line since the Volkswagen Polo bid us farewell in its well-worn fifth-gen avatar earlier in the year. What’s different? An N Line model is not to be confused with an N model. The former […]
Hyundai has unveiled the newest member of the Ioniq family – the 6. It’s the size of an executive sedan and features a distinctive design unlike any other production-spec EV sedan on the market today. The keyword used by Hyundai to accurately describe the overall shape of the Ioniq 6 is hard to argue with […]
The final month of the year has been occupied by work, video games and sleep. As a result, we missed out some interesting business-ey news that we’re going to catch up on in our latest news series: Porsche’s working on a new LeMans winner Endurance racing has various categories of racecars, hence the difference between […]
