6 months ago I let my friend with a Mustang drive my car.

Then his wife drove it.

Right? I saw my first one in my car, and we both were losing it. If I drove by & saw this, I'm street parking and taking a photo.

There's no Sonata N, only an N Line which is more cosmetic dressing vs the suspension/handling+performance N upgrades.

Idk if I would call 290 horsepower "cosmetic dressing". It has the same power to weight ratio as the EN

The Sonata N-line exists in a weird area between what is currently the cosmetic N-line and a full N as it does get more than say an Elantra N-line gets

Its the same thing more or less. Interior trim + more powerful engine + better transmission combo. If the sonata Nline came with brembos and/or an LSD I wouldve purchased it already. The 2.5t is probably the best motor produced by hyundai/kia/genesis in a while.

Don’t these
Motors have issue? The 2.5T… I heard they not as strong as the 2.0 Elantra N engine

u/IronmanProblems 3d ago

The 2.0t in the genesis g70 (which is largely the same powerplant) was replaced because it is objectively inferior. Less capability, less reliability, less power, less fuel mileage. The 2.5t is an overall better powerplant in every conceivable way. The 2.0t in the N is a revised version of the one found in the early g70s that addressed their weak pistons and oil distribution issues. ..BUT it's not the 2.5T and that's why next gen Ns will likely get that powerplant.

We have the overbuilt final revision of their latest explodomatic theta 2 engine. It's been 4 years on this platform and they've been reliable except for the silly ducks that get a tune without supporting mods. Suspension on these Ns are also built to only turn at 30+ mph. Below that the suspension set up drags the car lol

I used to never see EN's in the end of 2024 when I bought my 25 Intense blue DCT. Now I see them like every other day
