THE HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 N IS HYUNDAI'S MOST POWERFUL CAR EVER: HERE'S WHAT IT'S LIKE!

EV Channels Review

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is presented as Hyundai's most powerful car ever, boasting 600 horsepower (641 with overboost). Reviewers highlight its performance-oriented design, drawing parallels to motorsport pedigree. Key features include enhanced suspension with adjustable dampers, performance brakes formulated in-house by Hyundai to manage costs, and unique aerodynamic inserts. The interior features supportive, bolstered N-specific seats and a revised center console. A significant focus is placed on the simulated gear shifts and sound profiles, which aim to mimic internal combustion engine performance, offering drivers more control and a more engaging experience compared to other performance EVs like the EV6 GT. While the standard Ioniq 5 is a crossover, the Ioniq 5 N is specifically positioned as a performance crossover with driving dynamics compared to a GLC 63 S, offering exceptional control and rotation through corners, even with its high center of gravity. The reviewer suggests its driving dynamics are closer to a performance crossover than any other electric vehicle, with the exception of much more expensive options like the Porsche Taycan.
