A is out here how much , Hyundai this week was like: That’s cool and all but how about good old SPORTINESS and PERFORMANCE.

I’m talking, of course, about Hyundai’s N cars, which Hyundai would include seven cars, three of them pure N cars, four them N Line cars. Here is a graphic to make sense of it all:

On that graphic are the Veloster N, ; the Elantra N, ; the ; the Tucson N Line; and the Elantra N Line. I’m guessing, , that the other two cars are Kona N cars.

These will all get here by 2022, Hyundai said. Hyundai also “Early consumer research feedback on these future N models has been very positive.” I believe them! That’s because the N shit is cool.

Hyundai also gave us a teaser of the Tucson N Line. It looks like a new Tucson but with more N. The bigger wheels, in particular, look very aggressive.

Hyundai did not reveal specs on the Tucson N Line, but our other friends at Car And Driver from a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four, .

From Hyundai:

“I’m proud of what our talented N brand engineers, designers and product development teams have in store for enthusiast customers. Hyundai is committed to developing exciting, heart-charging N models in varied segments that reflect our passion to indulge enthusiasts. We’re confident that enthusiasts will relish the agility and performance of our new N Line models”, said Olabisi Boyle, vice president, Product Planning and Mobility Strategy, Hyundai Motor North America.

In a world that is in the midst of a pivot to electric, I respect Hyundai saying, “Actually, our strategy is to be BMW M but cheaper.”
