Co-Publisher and Conceptional Architect's Note: Today The Auto Channel is the last to give you this 2021 Hyundai Sonata N information...I have been searching all of my sources of official Hyundai information for what seems like days, to ferret up what we here at The Auto Channel always publish, from the horses mouth real news, but all I'm finding is the mother road of surmised, guessed on, prognosticated, information about the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Series, as revealed not by Hyundai but a South Korean web site, Korean Car Blog or as the cool dudes in Seoul call it KCB.
Because I have nothing to officially report (yet) about this new model I am settling (like every other non KCB auto site) by presenting you with what has been published over the past few days (with attribution of course) on car sites across the web for our visitors out there, who like, the KCB really care about these things.
KCB On The 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Series: In terms of design, based on the Sonata Sport (also known as Sonata Sensuous in South Korea), a dedicated grill and bumper, dual muffler tip, N-line badge, 19-inch wheel, semi-bucket seat, and red stitching are applied to the exterior. The domestic launch of the Hyundai Sonata N-line will be released in the third quarter, but after passed the certification, the official released should happen soon.

Motor Authority On The 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Series: According to the source (we all know who that is) the Sonata N Line will pack a 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-4 delivering a maximum 290 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. Drive will be to the front wheels only, via a standard 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
All Hyundai has said about the Sonata N Line (to whom I wonder) is that it will come with “over 275 hp.” who did they say that to and is it true?

Car Scoops On The 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Series: Interior changes are minor, but will apparently include N-branded sport seats with cloth and leather upholstery. We can also see red contrast stitching and a modestly revised steering wheel that appears to feature an N-Line logo.
As you see in these (KCB) screenshots, the performance-oriented sedan has a modestly revised front bumper with more aggressive air intakes. We can also see a N-Line branded grille, a four-tailpipe exhaust system and sportier wheels which reportedly measure 19-inches.

Auto Blog On The 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Series: After a December 2019 test review of a pre-production version of the Sonata N. “Although the production Sonata N-Line has yet to be unveiled (until this week by oh yeah KCB), we had a chance to drive a pee-production example. The car was still wearing camouflage, but the lower body kit was clearly visible, and there was nothing hiding the model’s exclusive 19-inch wheels (which are larger than those on any other Sonata) wrapped in 245/40-series rubber – which will be offered in a choice of summer performance tires or all-seasons.

They’re upholstered in microsuede and leather, and feature red contrast stitching that appears elsewhere in the cabin, which otherwise is little changed.
