Here is an overview of the performance features of the 2023 Hyundai Kona N, now available at Kearny Mesa Hyundai.

Track-Ready Powertrain

Coming standard on the 2023 Hyundai Kona N is a 2.0-liter turbocharged GDI engine that cranks out an impressive 276 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque. This power is sent to a quick-responding eight-speed wet DCT transmission, containing both paddle shifters and rev-matching for smooth shifting. You can also utilize the red button on the steering wheel to call up an extra 10 horsepower for a 20-second burst.

Similar to other N Hyundai models, the 2023 Hyundai Kona N has a custom drive mode that keeps the valves open for performance-tuned acoustics.

Handling, Suspension, and Tires

The performance-focused handling, suspension, and tires add to the thrill of driving this Hyundai crossover.

  • N-corner Carving Differential: When you’re handling through tight corners, the eLSD feature distributes more power to the outer wheels, maximizing turning speed and reducing understeer.
  • 19-inch alloy wheels: The vehicle’s 19-inch alloy wheels with Pirelli P-Zero summer provide optimal grip and lateral stability.
  • N-tuned electronically-controlled suspension: This suspension system continuously adjusts its damping force based on the road conditions, your driving characteristics, and your speed.
