"Round and round, it's eventually N"... Owners gathered at Jeonju Seong talk about the charm of high-performance cars

Owners of Hyundai Motor Company's high-performance brand N gathered at Jeonju World Cup Stadium to share their experiences and the values of the brand. According to a video released on the Hyundai Motor Group official YouTube channel, this event was prepared for 'N Partner Day' and centered on driving experiences that move between daily life and the track, as well as the culture formed by N.

"From Daily Life to the Track"... Driving performance that spans internal combustion engines and electric vehicles

The N owners appearing in the video explained the characteristics of high performance experienced through their respective different models. An AVANTE N owner purchased the vehicle in September 2021 and cited the versatility of the stock condition, which allows for everything from daily use to track driving, as an advantage. In particular, they mentioned the charm provided by the exhaust sound generated in the high-RPM range.

An owner driving the electric vehicle model IONIQ 5 N cited the explosive power unique to electric vehicles, along with the fact that, unlike the regular IONIQ 5, it provides a shifting sensation similar to an internal combustion engine, as a characteristic. According to the explanation in the video, in the case of the IONIQ 5 N, pressing the 'NGB' button increases the output by about 40 to 50 horsepower, and it is reported that one can experience an acceleration sensation as if the field of vision narrows during acceleration.

"The joy of controlling a Red Hare"... The link between driving skills and growth

Owners shared stories about the sensory elements felt while driving high-performance vehicles. One owner expressed that controlling the vehicle according to their will feels like handling a 'Red Hare'. There were also opinions that the process of driving a high-performance car leads to the growth of driving skills to the point where the vehicle can be controlled.

Emotional elements such as engine sound, exhaust sound, and steering feel were mentioned as the core charms of the brand. An owner who experienced the Veloster N cited the exhaust sound when starting the engine, the directness during shifting, and the agility coming from the lightweight body as major experiences.

"A bond tied by N"... A brand culture that goes beyond a simple means of transportation

N owners also mentioned the sense of community and belonging formed through their vehicles. Owners explained that they are creating a culture by sharing tuning information or driving experiences through communities or chat rooms. In particular, it was mentioned that interest in the brand has increased as events such as the Hyundai N Festival have grown in scale compared to the past.

The diversity of the event was also introduced. In addition to programs where one can directly experience the track, such as N Owner Track Day, drift events, and grid walks, there are also automobile culture events that can be enjoyed by families, such as children playing with soap bubbles for car washing. Using the expression "Round and round, it's eventually N," owners shared the characteristic of the brand where they choose N again even after experiencing other vehicles.
