The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, a widely anticipated entry into the world of high-performance electric cars (EVs), was just unveiled today by Hyundai. This electric vehicle has undergone major changes to offer an engaging driving experience.
It was developed as an improved version of the basic Ioniq 5. The Ioniq 5 N is powered by two strong electric motors that cooperate to provide an astonishing 650 PS (478 kW) of combined output. With this impressive power, the vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in a breath-taking 3.4 seconds, but its highest speed is electronically limited to 260 km/h. Here are further details about the EV.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 N: Features
The electric Hyundai Ioniq 5 N distinguishes itself as a car that provides an exceptional driving experience enhanced by a variety of cutting-edge technologies.
The Ioniq 5 N includes a number of driving aids that increase the driver’s experience behind the wheel in addition to its excellent performance.
The N e-shift, a unique feature of the Ioniq 5 N, simulates the feeling of gear shifting in a conventional eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, giving the driver a physical connection despite the car’s electric nature.
Additionally, the N e-shift works in tandem with the N Active Sound Plus system to enable the driver to customize the exhaust noises.
The N Pedal, a special driving assist made specifically for the Ioniq 5 N, is intended to promote quick cornering speeds above the energy economy.
The pedal helps with weight transfer by applying decelerative power, which improves the car’s ability to make sharp, quick turns.
The Ioniq 5 N also has the N Torque Distribution and N Drift Optimiser systems. Drivers may start controlled drifts by using the N Drift Optimiser, which simulates the clutch kick motion seen in rear-wheel drive vehicles powered by internal combustion engines.
To accurately distribute power between the front and rear wheels, the N power Distribution system uses an electronic limited-slip differential to enhance performance and handling.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 N: Performance
The Ioniq 5 N features 650 horsepower (609 PS without N Grin Boost). It is a speed demon with a peak speed of 260 km/h and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds.
The vehicle has an 84 kWh battery that can be quickly charged using a 350 kW DC fast charger from 10% to 80% in about 18 minutes.
The Ioniq 5 N offers noticeable performance improvements thanks to a more durable suspension, powerful brakes, and an aggressive body kit. It features integrated drive axles at the front and back, which were influenced by WRC.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 N: Interior and Design
While talking about the design, the Hyundai has given the Ioniq 5 N a powerful appearance while highlighting its performance prowess with different body modifications.
This high-performance model offers an 80mm longer body, a 50mm wider stance, and a 20mm lower profile. Its sporty image is enhanced by stunning 21-inch alloy wheels.
Hyundai has painstakingly added air flaps and curtains to the front bumper in order to improve aerodynamics and cooling.
The side of the bumper is accented with a bright orange color that continues to the back, while the rear bumper features a wider air diffuser and a unique N-specific spoiler that houses the third brake light.
The Ioniq 5 N’s interior was specifically created with performance-driving aficionados in mind. The two N buttons on the steering wheel, together with a separate button for accessing driving modes, take center stage, allowing drivers to choose their favorite drive modes.
The N Grin Boost button, which is conveniently situated on the steering wheel and provides a momentary rush of power, heightens the excitement. The center console has been updated with knee padding and shin supports for track driving comfort, while the armrest now provides improved support.
The seats are 20mm lower than those in the basic Ioniq 5 and have been strengthened with extra bolstering for enhanced cornering support. The Ioniq 5 N’s cabin, which is packed with technology to improve the driving experience, offers a cozy and supportive environment overall.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 N: Pricing
Hyundai’s much-awaited Ioniq 5 N Performance EV is predicted to cost well more than $100,000 in Australia, not including on-road expenses. This estimate is based on the cost of its closest rival, the Kia EV6 GT, which is presently offered in the Australian market for $99,590 including on-road expenses.
The Ioniq 5 N will probably cost a little bit more because it has even more power than the EV6 GT. The final price will, however, ultimately rely on Hyundai’s pricing strategy for the vehicle given its projected greater range.
Wrapping It All
To sum it up, Hyundai’s debut of the Ioniq 5 N represents a significant development in the field of high-performance electric automobiles. This electric vehicle delivers a remarkable driving experience because of its outstanding power, faster performance, and cutting-edge innovations.
The Ioniq 5 N flawlessly blends innovation and performance, from the one-of-a-kind N e-shift and N Pedal features to the N Torque Distribution and N Drift Optimiser systems. The stunning external alterations ooze power and flair, while the interior design shows an emphasis on driver-centric components. However, keen enthusiasts should be prepared to pay more than the Kia EV6 GT, which is its closest rival in terms of pricing. What do you think about it?
