Hyundai and Kia make great vehicles. I've got a Palisade, two Sorentos and a Sportage in the family

 

This is my 3rd N and my wife drives a Kia. All great cars.

 

And... my son had an Elantra-N in that same color scheme until he traded it on a BMW M4... dumb move if you ask me

 

I had an Elantra N before the Ioniq 5N – stage 2 ECU 330HP. Awesome car!

 

I am in sales/ finance/ management at a Hyundai dealership in NJ for almost 7 years. Ive had the Tucson 22 and now Santa Fe 25 for my wife. Both great vehicles. I just picked a 26 ram last month. If the dealership didnt tell you, you can visit hyundaihome for some info and you may still qualify for electrifyamerica free charging - I forgot when they stopped that. You would need the last 8 of the "engine" code located on the window sticker.

When the i5N came out we were sent to Giants stadium for training. A professional driver - who trained Jeff Gordon, took us around the lot at over 130 mph and this thing was like a rocket! Have fun and be safe!

I have a black elantra N MT sitting on my showroom floor right now.

 

I had the 5N for over a year now & back then had the choice of $400 charging credit or a free home charger + install. It ended up being more beneficial to take the credit and have an independent electrician install a charger. 11 seconds & 125mph quarter mile. NUTS.
My Elantra N was cyber grey & I totally loved that car – the 5N adds loads of practicality, which I need on the daily.

 

I daily a I5 SEL. Would love a I5N!

 

Nice! I love these cars & could not resist the power of the 5N.

 

Bought this in December of 2021 when all the lots were empty. It was still on the truck and everything else on that same truck was already sold. White on white interior. We wanted the Calligraphy but I can't say we've ever been unhappy with the Limited trim.

 

You have to try the “supersonic” sound mode combined with the simulated shifts. Full volume. Absolutely hilarious experience. Great car!

 

i wish they had a higher trailer rating. sadly it is not legal to pull an mr2 in germany🥲

but the new 2026 toyota bz4x touring looks promissing! rated for 1500kg and 380hp?

 

I preface my post by saying that we own a number of Kia’s (niro and two souls) remarkable cars if you ask me. I am taken aback at how terrible Kia was when it first came out and all of the trash posts made regarding them on this very board from yesteryear. Hyundai also and this was pre merger and post merger. Now the internets will tells you that these cars are generally trouble prone and never buy one but I think that is so short sighted. Clearly Honda and Toyota make great cars but have a few that slip through the cracks. Kia/Hyundai have persevered , learned and I feel make fabulous cars our niro gets 50mpg is robustly into the 160k range and other than replacement bulbs (that both went out at the same time -in the dark no less) and a broken wheel (not the wheels fault) it has been flawless in its performance over 3/4 of the US. Lux features are generously bestowed and they stand behind their cars far better than most brands. Every car has it’s Achilles heel (Pre Cats, subbie head gaskets, Mini damper pulley gaskets and the rest of the Fing engine). Perfect is the enemy of the good. That is why i chuckle when folks say the spyder is underpowered, or this or that. It is easy to point out flaws I say drive the car you got according to why you got it in the first place. They are fine grocery getters and should be considered when you need one.
