Personalised driving experience
To cater to the needs of those who love to drive, the car has been specially introduced with some unique features.

These features are designed to give the driver a more realistic driving experience, making every drive fun and exciting.
Advanced electric powertrain
The Ioniq 5 N is powered by an 84kWh battery (77.4kWh for SE, SEL, and Limited models) with an as yet undisclosed driving range. Charging is fast, from 10 percent to 80 percent in just 18 minutes, with a maximum charge of 238kW.
Superior acceleration
All Ioniq 5 N’s feature a two-motor, all-wheel-drive configuration that produces 601 horsepower in most conditions. When using the “N Grin Boost” mode, the powertrain can temporarily rotate itself to a maximum of 641 hp. The N can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.25 seconds.

Outstanding vehicle handling
Designed for the track, the Ioniq 5 N has been given a boost in stability, with more rigid behaviour on the track and when drifting. The handling is rally-inspired, with rack-mounted motor-driven power steering, a fast-steering ratio, and enhanced torque feedback. The single-pedal drive system, called “N Pedal“, assists the driver with powerful deceleration in corners, while allowing for some energy regeneration.
Practicality and comfort
Ioniq 5 N features a long wheelbase and high body design, offering a spacious interior and excellent storage capacity.
All in all, Hyundai Ioniq 5 N’s advanced performance and innovative design will open up new possibilities for the future of mobility. Consumers can expect not only more fun behind the wheel but also a new milestone in electric vehicle technology.
