it's not even 2023 yet, why are we talking about 2024 releases?

Because the 23’s still look the same but the 24’s are the new redesign so I feel like the former doesn’t really count.

 

[13r1an]

eh, my point is more along the lines of 'living so far in the future we neglect the present' sort of mentality, but whatever. Of course they're already planning a re-design. Why let a model exist for more than 3 years, that keeps interchangeable parts at a minimum which keeps the demand and prices high. Yippie!

It will be released next year (2023). it is less than a year away.

I think it looks sharp. Hyundai does a good job of pushing the exterior design envelope without going too far. The extra space is a welcomed improvement as well. Rumor is that the N is dead but we’ll see…my best guess would be that it’s coming back eventually but as an EV.

Honestly, I agree with EV being the most likely choice, but it sure would be nice to get a couple years of AWD Kona N. Now that the Veloster is dead, they don't have to worry about stepping on sales if it goes AWD.

Any N EV will be AWD. only so much power from a single motor.

Yeah, it would just be nice to have an AWD ICE N

Fingers crossed for a 2024 Kona N. Hopefully!

I just noticed something interesting. I might be wrong, but I think the 2024 Kona Electric shown on the unveiling photos includes 360 camera system. If you look closely into the side mirrors you will notice a "bubble" underneath, close to their corner. I believe these are camera lenses reminiscing of the side mirror cameras included in the Ioniq 5 Limited 360 system.

I think that a better rear seat passenger space and a softer ride option would be very welcomed on the 2024 redesign, but personally I like the more aggressive look of the actual Kona N design in red or black. It would be sad to miss the "N" if its not planned to return.

Dont think it will happen shame just when it was doing good they want to drop it. The only N will be the Elantra but watch them scrap that one if they do keep it watch it be a manual only because of the DCT problems..

Bigger, bigger, bigger. It’s so old! Take a good design and then redesign it into a larger package keeping the model name because in its original form it was popular.
