Test Drive of the Avante N: The Allure of High-Performance N!
Hello, I’m Double View, an automotive influencer.
Recently, while on a golf trip to the countryside,
I had the opportunity to test drive the Hyundai Avante N model, which I had never driven before.
I had to rent this model due to a sudden schedule change,
and it turned out to be an unexpected experience that helped me understand why the Avante N is so popular.
The 2025 Avante N model I drove featured the main color, Performance Blue, which stood out with its eye-catching design.
Wherever I went, it drew attention.
However, those who want to avoid unwanted attention typically choose the Cyber Gray Metallic color,
which has become the best-selling color, selected by 25% of Avante N owners.
For reference, Performance Blue ranks second with 19%, while Abyss Black Pearl comes in third with 17%.
I experienced various charms while test driving the 2025 Avante N model.
The most impressive aspect was the unique color of Hyundai’s N models.
As you may know, the Hyundai Avante, a compact sedan, sold over 65,000 units in 2023,
making it one of the most commonly seen models on the road.
However, due to its relatively high price and unique design, the Avante N recorded only 342 units sold, solidifying its reputation as a car for enthusiasts.
But after driving it, I found that both the exterior and interior designs showcased a unique and sporty feel,
allowing me to experience a completely different charm compared to the standard Avante.
When I drove it, I felt both the intense exhaust sound and the powerful driving performance when I pressed the accelerator.
If you want a design that stands out along with fun driving elements,
consider purchasing the Hyundai Avante N model.
The booster button and paddle shifters located behind the steering wheel were also appealing.
If you choose the Alcantara interior package as an option,
you can experience a steering wheel wrapped in premium leather,
Personally, I’m not someone who usually enjoys speed,
but during the test drive of the Avante N, I found myself unconsciously pressing the accelerator all the way.
This model awakens the fantasy of speed that many men have and satisfies it 200%.
Here are the specifications and estimated pricing for the 2025 Avante N.
The 2025 Avante N offers a choice between a manual and an automatic transmission.
Today, let’s take a look at the specifications and estimated pricing based on the popular DCT 8-speed automatic transmission.
Length: 185.4 inches / Wheelbase: 107.1 inches / Width: 71.9 inches / Height: 55.7 inches
Maximum Torque: 40.0 kg.m / 2,100 ~ 4,700 rpm
Curb Weight: 3,351 lbs
Estimated pricing for the 2025 Avante N
Vehicle Price: 30,000,000 KRW (approximately 22,500 USD)
Acquisition Tax: 2,270,000 KRW (approximately 1,700 USD)
Bond Discount: 290,000 KRW (approximately 220 USD)
=> Estimated Actual Purchase Price: 32,800,000 KRW (approximately 24,600 USD)
The most surprising aspect was the pricing.
When you look at German imported sedans, the price difference between high-performance models and regular models is enormous, but the Avante N doesn’t have a significant price difference compared to gasoline models, making it a more accessible choice.
Compared to imports in the same class, it offers excellent space efficiency, showcasing its popularity as a model. Since it’s a model designed for high-speed driving, the seats might feel slightly hard, so it’s advisable to test the seating comfort before making a purchase decision.
2025 Hyundai Avante N Test Drive
While traveling in the countryside, I test drove it for about 124 miles (200 km),
and the powerful exhaust sound and the N-specific design caught my attention.
The thrilling feeling that transmitted through my body from the moment I started the engine also delighted my spouse and me, who usually don’t enjoy speed.
The response when I pressed the accelerator was immediate, and the powerful thrust felt great.
Although I expected a lightweight feeling due to its compact sedan nature,
I found it quite stable on the road, which made it even more attractive.
Of course, the speed, fuel efficiency, and driving experience differ, but given the minor price difference, I would recommend the high-performance model over the hybrid.
As mentioned earlier, imported high-performance sedans show a huge price gap,
and in that regard, the Avante N seems to be a realistically attainable high-performance sports car model.
For those individuals, I recommend the KS Auto Plan’s long-term rental option, which allows you to become an Avante N owner without the initial cost burden.
In 2024, it surpassed 100,000 customers and is taking another leap forward, offering special pricing events for popular models as part of a gratitude event.If you have a specific model in mind, checking the usage fees on the website would be beneficial.
