One improvement is the Wireless Apple CarPlay.
There are a lot of new N gadgets and information. The menu is overwhelming.
The body is stiffer, wider, with 21-inch wheels and bigger brakes, and there is upgraded suspension.
There are aero tweaks, such as the giant rear diffuser and brake light built into the rear wing.
Electric motors deliver 601 to 641 horsepower for ten seconds in the N Grin Boost mode.
Rivals include the Tesla Model Y Performance, the upcoming Model 3 Performance, the Kia EV6 GT, and the Mustang Mach-E GT.
