Finally, Hyundai has unveiled the official rendering images of the Avante (CN7) N Line.
Recently, we shared news about the discontinuation of the i30 N Line, along with all models of the Veloster JS 1.6T and 1.4T.
Since the i30 N Line and Veloster JS mainly appeal to a niche group of enthusiasts,
the discontinuation news was disappointing. Many hope that the Avante (CN7) N Line will fill the void left by these models.
Compared to the existing Avante (CN7), the front design has undergone subtle yet significant changes.
The front design of the Avante features a wide grille area,
and elongated curves on both sides.
With these changes, the overall image appears drastically different.
Personally, I’m not a huge fan of the Avante (CN7) design.
However, the transformation into the N Line gives it a much sportier vibe compared to the standard version.
The design of the air ducts on both sides also looks more refined.
The rear features a glossy black section similar to high-gloss finishes that extends higher up.
The design includes a protruding exhaust tip on the right side.
Additionally, upon closer inspection, you can spot the N Line-exclusive rear spoiler, although it appears quite small.
One additional detail confirmed in these images is the inclusion of 18-inch wheels.
Given the high-performance nature of the vehicle, larger wheels enhance stability at high speeds.
This design choice likely contributes to a sportier appearance as well.
Furthermore, the Avante (CN7) N Line will feature the same 204-horsepower 1.6 turbo engine and 7-speed DCT as the existing Avante AD Sport.
Oh! Of course, a manual transmission option is also available.
Some may feel disappointed that it doesn’t include an 8-speed DCT,
but if the Avante N is introduced later, it will likely feature the same 2.0 turbo engine and 8-speed DCT as the existing Veloster N.
Additionally, a manual transmission option will also be available for the N model.
In any case, this vehicle will hit the market this month, likely entering the new fun car segment.
For those who want a car with a more appealing design than the standard version but find the N model too intimidating,
the Avante (CN7) N Line might be the perfect fit. I can't wait to see it on the road.
That concludes today's post. Thank you.
