New Hyundai Sports Car: Why the N Series Stands Out
Performance that Packs a Punch
The N Series is more than a badge—it’s a philosophy built on three key pillars: corner rascal, racetrack capability, and everyday sportscar. Every model, from the zippy 2025 i20 N to the cutting-edge IONIQ 5 N, has been engineered to thrill from the moment you press the accelerator.
Let’s start with the compact performer, the 2025 i20 N. Inspired by Hyundai’s World Rally Championship pedigree, this agile hatch features a turbocharged 1.6L GDi engine pushing out 150kW. Its lightweight body, manual transmission, and track-ready tuning make it the perfect blend of street and circuit fun.
Next up, the 2025 i30 N continues to build on its cult following. With 206kW of power and an electronic limited-slip differential, it grips the road with confidence and begs to be pushed through corners. Drivers can customise their experience with adjustable suspension, steering weight, and rev-matching—all at the touch of a button.
For something a little more refined, the i30 Sedan N offers a four-door solution that doesn’t compromise on performance. Its elongated silhouette and high-tech cockpit offer a sportier alternative to traditional family sedans, making it a popular choice for young professionals and performance-focused parents alike.
Electrifying the Game: IONIQ 5 N
Hyundai’s move into high-performance EVs is turning heads—and for good reason. The IONIQ 5 N isn’t just a green alternative; it’s a new breed of sports car. This fully electric powerhouse delivers up to 478kW (with N Grin Boost mode) and launches from 0-100km/h in just 3.4 seconds. Dual motors, all-wheel drive, and an 800V ultra-fast charging system ensure it’s not just quick—it’s future-ready.
What sets the IONIQ 5 N apart is its innovation. Hyundai has engineered synthetic gearshift sounds and tactile feedback for drivers who still crave that raw, mechanical feel. It’s not just about speed—it’s about emotion, and the IONIQ 5 N delivers in spades.
Why the N Series Makes Sense in Melbourne
In Melbourne and across the western suburbs, a car needs to do more than perform—it needs to adapt to everything from urban traffic to coastal drives. That’s where Hyundai’s N range really shines. Each model offers comfortable daily driving, intelligent safety features, and practical space—without dulling the driving experience.
Hyundai’s commitment to value is another game-changer. Compared to European rivals, the N Series provides exceptional performance at a more accessible price point, backed by Hyundai’s 5-year unlimited kilometre warranty and local servicing support.
Technology that Enhances Every Drive
Inside the cabin, expect cutting-edge connectivity. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, while N-exclusive displays offer real-time performance metrics such as g-force, turbo pressure, and lap timers. For the tech-savvy, this is more than a car—it’s an experience.
Plus, Hyundai’s SmartSense™ suite offers advanced driver assistance systems to keep you safe on the daily commute or a weekend blast through the hills.
