Key Points
I have spent much of the past week driving cars in South Korea, and well, it is amazing to go to the heart of the nation that is dominating globalpopculture..
Invited by Hyundai India,Ive beenlucky enough to experience Korean culture, food, andfashionandalso to drive a couple of new Hyundai vehicles specifically the new IONIQ 5 N and the fifth-generation Santa Fe SUV...
Now, at the outset, I mustclarifythat there are no immediate plans for the Korean carmaker to launch either car in India..
I drove the variant with a 2.5 turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that produced 281PS, which was more than sufficient on South Koreas excellent expressways thanks to a very large number of speed cameras, gunning down isnt an option..
You see, those N buttonson the steering wheelare not just decorative pieces.By pressing oneof them, you move to N-mode,whichmakes the car behave and sound like it has a two-litre turbocharged petrol engine under the hood..
