Exactly what I was thinking
By the way, is that a Clean Slate Kona N on the pictures?
Could also be the regular Kona colour: Chalk White MetallicHard to tell for sure, but I would say PB, the only reason being is that they tend to like advertising the N models with the 'unique' PB N colour![]()

It is expected that it will have a 2.0-liter T-GDi with 280 hp matted to the new 8-speed wet DCT and front wheel drive.
I believe the turn signals are at the top and the bottom are reverse, and brake lamps. Not sure why they didn't combine them.![]()
Hyundai shows 3,247 as curb weight for VN DCTCurb Weight for the VN MT/3,036 - 3,106. 234 lb difference

Pretty obvious as to why Hyundai N-Performance went with FWD instead of AWD.
The Hyundai Kona N is quite a bit larger than the VN and has considerable more storage capacity. The the original Kona was a bit light and danced in the rear end under hard braking. However, I don't see this tendency in the Kona N.
They really decided to make the Kona lighter and more powerful, giving it 10 hp more in over boost.
Nice job Hyundai for building a performance minded SUV with excellent handling characteristics.
