Introducing the IONIQ 5 N

The Hyundai IONIQ 5 is already an impressive vehicle. Now, drivers can also find a high-performance version of their favorite electric SUV at the Hyundai dealer. The IONIQ 5 N combines the best of the Hyundai N line with its EV tech to great effect.

Get Ready to Hit the Track

The AWD IONIQ 5 N features a dual-motor configuration that puts out 601 hp under regular use. Though that’s already an impressive feat, drivers who want an edge on the track can also use the N Grin Boost feature to temporarily bump power production up to 641 hp.

Because the IONIQ 5 N features an AWD system, drivers can choose to distribute power to the front or rear wheels using four different drive modes. They can also switch the IONIQ 5 N from Endurance to Sprint mode to unlock its full power potential.

The IONIQ 5 N hits 60 in three seconds and can complete a quarter-mile run in just over 11 seconds. It tracks straight during all-out launches and features controllable handling when needed. However, drivers can also switch to drift mode when they want to have a little fun.

Hyundai also caters to the needs of performance drivers with N e-Shift. The feature can be turned on and off, simulating a dual-clutch transmission by elevating feedback with rev-matching. N Active Sound+ also simulates engine noise.

Range, Charging, and Other Real-World Concerns

The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N features an 84 kWh battery pack that charges at speeds of up to 238 kW. With an EPA-estimated range of 221 miles of mixed driving, it doesn’t perform quite as well as the regular IONIQ 5 in this realm but holds up admirably as a high-performance EV.

Drivers familiar with the IONIQ 5 will find the 5 N’s cabin quite familiar. However, Hyundai has added a few extras to improve the driving experience. They include unique steering wheel features to access drive modes, regenerative braking, and N Grin Boost.

The IONIQ 5 N features the same infotainment system as the IONIQ 5, with separate 12-inch touchscreens for infotainment and a digital gauge cluster. Drivers will still get access to standard smartphone integration and voice-recognition software.

Enjoy a Wealth of Standard and Available Features

The IONIQ 5 N features track-ready tuning and more athletic hardware than the IONIQ 5, including a larger rear diffuser, wheels, brakes, and fenders. Inside the cabin, aggressively bolstered front seats make high-speed cornering a breeze.

Many active safety and driver-assistance features also come standard on the IONIQ 5 N, including automated e-braking, lane-keep assist, and more. Extras like adaptive cruise control with lane-centering are still add-on features for the 5 N.
