Hyundai’s Fictional N Models that Bring a Smile

Who’s ready for a Hyundai Palisade N edition? Or perhaps a hydrogen-powered Nexo N SUV? Moreover, how about a Prophecy N EV in a striking baby blue paint with sporty red accents? The Ns look pretty impressive, showcasing Hyundai’s innovative spirit and creativity. These fictional concepts are part of an engaging April Fool’s Day joke that reminds us the holiday is not canceled this year.

The Korean brand recently shared on its Instagram feed that it aims for these playful N Models to spark joy during challenging times. Like many manufacturers, Hyundai faced challenges, reporting a 43% decrease in sales in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, they managed to sell an impressive 17,089 Palisades so far this year.

Among these exciting concepts, the Prophecy N steals the spotlight, resembling a potential contender against the future Porsche Taycan. This eye-catching concept was revealed online along with the 2021 Elantra and Elantra Hybrid, showcasing Hyundai’s forward-thinking design.

Fans of the Veloster N have taken to social media, expressing their enthusiasm for these concepts, claiming, “If you build it… I will buy it!” Hyundai is reportedly working on Kona and Sonata N variants, raising hopes among enthusiasts that the company might indeed listen to their desires. Consequently, the anticipation for another N model is palpable, especially as their long-term Four Seasons Veloster N prepares to return this summer.

However, the general consensus suggests that the world might not be ready for a Hyundai Venue N just yet. Nevertheless, Hyundai’s playful concepts serve as a reminder of their innovative capabilities and the excitement surrounding their future models.
