Hyundai continues to shore up its vehicle line, giving select models the so-called N-Line or N Performance package. The 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe appears to be the latest model getting the said treatment, something that may come out later this year.
Thanks to some images shared by The Korean Car Blog, a better glimpse of what the 2021 Hyundai Sante Fe N will have to offer can be seen. And impressive as it may look, the only catch here is that the model may be limited to South Korea consumers only. Unofficially, South Korea will be unveiling the said model with no word on where else it could be offered for sale. The same holds true for the possible suggested retail price.
Folks who were hoping to see another Hyundai variant get the N treatment are likely to be disappointed. Expectations are unsurprisingly high, especially when folks caught glimpse of the 2021 Hyundai Elantra N Line, CNet reported. The result is a sportier look for the sedan, something that radiates across the whole external make of the vehicle.
Hence, it comes to no surprise that some were expecting other variants to get the N treatment. One can just marvel at the souped-up exteriors of the Hyundai Santa Fe N, one that includes lush styling covering the front and rear bumpers, rear spoiler, and the carbon-filter rear diffuser.
Other trimmings include sportier fender flares, carbon-fiber mirror caps, carbon bonnet intakes, and a different kind of grille. There are also gold and rose accents on the front bumper and grille, a lush look that fits in well with the 21-inch dark wheels with rose gold complement.
Of course, there are things to expect inside the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe N as well. That includes the interiors made up of Alcantara and carbon-fiber materials. Even the center console, steering wheel, and door trims get a dash of that treatment. N sport seats also complement the lush interiors, all covered with premium quilted leather.
Covering more on the aesthetic side, it will be interesting how much power the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe N will have under the hood. The same goes for the classy ride it is expected to deliver. So far, most speculated the vehicle to have a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with either 250 or 275 horsepower.
If that is too high, it would not hurt to lower expectations a bit. It is also possible to see the SUV come with a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 200 horsepower.
