Hyundai's N brand unveils two rolling lab concepts as it goes electrified

By CARSIFU | 15 July 2022


BUSAN: Hyundai Motor’s high-performance N sub-brand is revealing its electrification vision to demonstrate the company’s commitment to future-focused zero-emissions technologies.

RN22e and N Vision 74 are inspirational examples of N’s electrification vision. These two "rolling lab" concepts demonstrate Hyundai Motor’s ambition to become a leader in the zero-emissions future.

Hyundai Motor’s "rolling labs" are where it tests and verifies the company’s advanced technologies to apply them to future production models.

RN22e melds the all-new Ioniq 6 and the company’s Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), while setting a new standard in high-performance EVs.

Meanwhile, N Vision 74 combines EV technology with an advanced hydrogen fuel cell system, making it Hyundai N’s first hydrogen hybrid rolling lab to explore ‘driving fun’ in the electrification era.

“RN22e and N Vision 74 play an important role in the strategic development of our entire product lineup, especially our electrified, high-performance vehicles,” said Thomas Schemera, Executive Vice President and Head of Customer Experience Division at Hyundai Motor Company.

“Rolling labs represent the continuous development of our most advanced technologies. This unique approach makes us ready for the challenges of the future by empowering us to push ourselves to the limit.”

Both RN22e and N Vision 74 will continue to be tested and verified by Hyundai’s engineers, so future N road cars can be equipped with their advanced technologies.

Since launching its very first high-performance production road car in 2017, Hyundai i30 N, N has pushed the limits of performance to help customers discover how fun driving can be.

The brand claim is "Never just drive" because getting from A to B should never be boring.

Even in the electric future, N brand pursues its three pillars: corner rascal (tight, perfectly balanced cornering machine), racetrack capability (all N models are built to perform directly on the track) and everyday sportscar (for everyone and every need, not just track days and highways).

“In just seven years, Hyundai N has become the fastest evolving performance brand,” said Till Wartenberg, Vice President of N Brand Management & Motorsport Sub-Division at Hyundai Motor Company.

“N is moving forward to set new standards in sustainable high performance. We enthusiastically start this new chapter of electrified high-performance and will pursue this goal by using our creativity, engineering expertise and competitive spirit.”
