Hyundai has announced that the brand will soon launch Hyundai’s N Line performance cars in the Indian market. Hyundai’s first N Line in India will make its debut in 2021, and the South Korean brand will subsequently add more models in the near future. With the introduction of the N Line range in India, the brand will redefine the mobility experience for performance enthusiasts in the country.
What is Hyundai’ N’ and ‘N Line’?
It is important to note that ‘N Line’ comes with motorsport-inspired features while Hyundai also has an ‘N’ performance division, which churns out high-performance racing vehicles. The N Line is equivalent to the AMG Line or the M Sport variants of German manufacturers. However, the ‘N’ brand comes after the Namyang Research & Development centre and the company’s European Technical Centre based in Nürburgring-Nordschleife, Germany, where Hyundai N hones its high-performance N technologies.

The brand is targetting the Gen MZ, which is the combination of the Millenial generation and the Gen Z as the N Line will appeal to both ages. ‘MZers’, as they are collectively known in South Korea, love the combination of a powerful and energetic look along with an efficient engine and a comfortable price point. The N Line models in India will offer motorsport-inspired styling cues, drawing synergies from Hyundai’s N Motorsport Division. The N Line will also feature everyday excitement with retuned engine & suspension, and customers will never have a dull moment. The N Line range will be accessible for all as they will not be too expensive than the existing top-spec trims.
