In the 6 years since, he’s elevated them into the upper echelons of motoring with their N Performance division and a more premium image for the marque.

Whilst browsing the internet for cars we can’t afford (like many of us car nuts always do), we came across a Hyundai i30N for sale on Sime Darby Auto Selection, which is the company’s used car division.
