Superb in Spain - can it be excellent in England?
It’s easy to like a car at an international launch event. A carefully curated itinerary will take you to fantastic roads with little traffic, a circuit drive will feature cars in optimum specs, your mates will be there and the food will be great. It’s easy to think kindly on a car in this setting, which is probably why the events continue in a post-pandemic world.
The naysayers will take those stats immediately to the comments, no doubt. But for those intrigued by Hyundai’s first electric N, there’s still an awful lot to like. First is that it still looks absolutely brilliant over here, parked up among other cool cars at Caffeine & Machine and with UK plates on. For such a large car it manages to look compact and taut, the standard 5’s funky design embellished with bigger wheels and spoilers without going over the top.
The temptation to fiddle comes soon enough, which is certainly made easier with prior experience and the steering wheel now on the right-hand side. Toggling with the custom modes feels a lot less stressful the second time around, the touchscreen responsive to swipes and prods. Perhaps still not the safest activity in the world, if less maddening than before. And as with cars like, Normal and a Custom setting for fun will cover most scenarios.
