Depending on how you want to drive, Hyundai’s N Grin offers plenty of options. For everyday driving, you can select the Normal mode or you can choose Eco to maximize your gas mileage. If you want a bit more excitement, you can select the Sport or N modes to really take advantage of the sport-tuned steering, MacPherson strut front suspension, and multi-link rear suspension. You can even add your own unique settings with the N Custom mode.

The modes are easy to change using two dedicated buttons on the steering wheel.
