Hyundai's new performance line to sit below its hot N models
Hyundai said the new volume-focused models will borrow N powertrains and parts, and the company cited about 20,000 N sales in 2025.
- At the 2026 Investor Day, Hyundai CEO Jose Munoz announced a new performance tier positioned between N and N Line models to target high-volume sales by 2030.
- These vehicles will utilize 'carry-over powertrain and parts' from full N models, combining 'value features for daily high-performance experience' while maintaining road-focused design.
- The new tier fills the $16,000 gap between the discontinued i30 N Line hatch at $36,000 and the i30 N at $52,000, establishing clear market positioning.
- Hyundai targets 100,000 annual high-performance sales by 2030, a fivefold increase, shifting away from $115,000 halo electric vehicles as the primary growth driver.
- Aiming for 60 per cent of the global performance market, the company is pursuing 'new powertrain diversification' across petrol, hybrid, and electric N models by 2030.
