Many automakers offer insanely fast sub-brands that appeal to consumers who find standard acceleration and handling to be insufficiently aggressive as well as the innate tendency of auto engineers to brag. Range Rover has Special Vehicle Operations or SVR, BMW has its M division, while Hyundai has N. The “N” appears to stand for two places: the Nürburgring in Germany, where all N models are tested at insane speeds until one assumes, their tires burst in clouds of shredded rubber, and the Namyang district in South Korea, home of Hyundai’s Global Research & Development Center, where N was founded.
The Ioniq 5 N is Hyundai’s first electrified N model. The basic Ioniq 5 from 2021 impressed WIRED greatly and was difficult to find fault with. We did have one complaint at the time, which was that some people might have thought the EV would have been a little sportier. This shortcoming is addressed by the 5 N, albeit possibly overly. It’s also evident that Hyundai, whether or not you believe in electric vehicles, built the Ioniq 5 to make it what most car enthusiasts refer to as a “proper driver’s car.”

Hyundai Ioniq 5’s EV performance power and motor mile

Power, maneuverability, and versatility are all combined to provide a high-performance electric car experience with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Under normal driving conditions, the dual-motor all-wheel-drive system produces a strong 601 horsepower; however, when the N Grin Boost is engaged, the output spikes to an incredible 641 horsepower. With the option to adjust power distribution between the front and rear wheels, the Ioniq 5 N’s EV powertrain may be fully utilized by drivers, enhancing its dynamic handling qualities. Additionally, a specialized drift mode promotes exhilarating driving experiences by easily enabling controlled slides.
The car’s four unique driving modes—Eco, Normal, Sport, and N—each of which modifies throttle response, suspension damping, and steering feel to suit the road conditions, serving as more examples of how versatile it is. For high-energy driving tasks like drag racing or track days, Endurance and Sprint modes give full-throttle performance or optimal battery utilization for long-distance driving.

The range, charging time, and battery life of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N

A sturdy 84.0-kWh battery pack powers the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, which is intended for both daily use and high-performance applications. When connected to an appropriate charging station, its DC fast charging capabilities of up to 238 kW enable quick recharge. With its performance-focused features, the estimated range of 221 miles of mixed driving per charge by the EPA is in harmony. But under actual circumstances, like a highway test, the Ioniq 5 N provided about 190 miles of range before the battery ran out. Hyundai built the car to withstand demanding driving conditions, such as finishing two laps of the Nürburgring Nordschleife without compromising performance, despite this somewhat lower range.
Track aficionados can enjoy 20 minutes of high-performance driving in the Endurance mode. This is followed by a 20-minute DC fast charger recharge, which gives them another 20 minutes to spend on the track.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 n interior

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N’s interior is largely similar to that of the regular Ioniq 5, but it has a few upgrades to meet its performance-focused needs. With sharply bolstered front seats meant to keep occupants firmly in place during sharp turns, the cabin exudes a sporty, immersive vibe. With buttons specifically for easy access to different drive modes, regenerative braking levels, and the N Grin Boost function—all geared at enhancing driver engagement and control—the distinctive N-specific steering wheel sticks out.
Practically speaking, the Ioniq 5 N has the same capacity for passengers and cargo as the Ioniq 5. When the back seats were folded during testing, the standard model could fit up to 20 carry-on luggage, offering plenty of room for daily use or extended travels. Its cabin combines functionality and performance, making it appropriate for both daily use and aggressive driving.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 infotainment

Based on the interior images that have been revealed thus far, it is anticipated that the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N would have the same infotainment and connectivity features as the basic Ioniq 5. The 12.0-inch touchscreen entertainment system and 12.0-inch digital gauge cluster on the N model provide the driver with a sleek, contemporary digital interface.
Hyundai hasn’t made any formal announcements on the Ioniq 5 N, but the ordinary version’s voice-recognition software will probably be included as well, making control over a variety of features simple and easy. Furthermore, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ought to be included as standard features with the system, enabling easy smartphone integration and on-the-go access to media, apps, and navigation. The Ioniq 5 N will deliver both high-performance driving and a connected, technologically advanced experience thanks to this technology configuration.
