In this context, the N brand reinforces this goal, drawing its design and performance inspiration from motorsport to deliver unique and enjoyable experiences.”

History of the N Brand

The N brand has been delivering high-performance engines and dynamic technical innovations to satisfy driving enthusiasts since its introduction by Hyundai in 2015. Since the launch of its first model, the i30 N in 2017, Hyundai now offers 12 models within the ongoing N lineup.

The Meaning Behind the N Name

The name Hyundai N was chosen to represent two significant elements:

1. The location of the global research and development center for the Hyundai Motor Group, Namyang, in South Korea.
2. The headquarters of Hyundai's technical center, the Nürburgring racetrack in Germany, which is used to develop N vehicles.

The letter N also symbolizes the classic tracks with sharp curves found on roads and racetracks.
