Leeds is going to be one of the only cities in the UK to showcase a brand new car from Evans Halshaw Hyundai Leeds.
As one of the UK's electric friendliest cities, according to Evans Halshaw Hyundai Leeds, Leeds is the perfect place to showcase a new high-performance electric vehicle.
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is not only the topgear.com Car of the Year, but also the first all-electric N Model and has been dubbed as the car that's 'setting new benchmarks for high performance electric vehicles'.
For those that want to check out the brand-new motor in the flesh, Evans Halshaw Hyundai Leeds, on Gelderd Road (just outside Leeds City Centre in Holbeck), will be hosting an exciting sneak peek preview event this Sunday 10 March 2024, from 11am.

You'll get the opportunity to speak with dedicated Hyundai specialists who will be on hand to talk guests through the car – a vehicle that's 'created for and by people who truly love cars', featuring a sleek and sporty design and newly designed N steering wheel and N Bucket Seats.
Sounds pretty impressive right?
So, whether you've been on the hunt for a new electric car for a while or want to spend Mother's Day looking for a vehicle that's the perfect family ride, Evans Halshaw Hyundai Leeds has something at the special preview event for everyone.

Not only can you view the car, but there’s plenty to keep you entertained, including a race simulator from Hyundai UK. And for the lucky person that takes the car around the simulator race track the fastest, there's going to be the chance to win a Red Letter Days or Virgin Experience voucher worth £150.
Of course inspecting cars is hungry work, but fear not as local burger van The Otley Burger Company will be there to rustle up its locally renowned smash burgers.
