2025 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 N IS THEIR MOST POWERFUL PRODUCTION CAR EVER & I TOOK IT TO THE TRACK!

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is presented as a significantly upgraded, high-performance variant of the standard Ioniq 5, designed for track enthusiasts and performance-driving aficionados. The reviewer highlights its immense power, boasting up to 640 horsepower, which enables a blistering 3.3-second 0-60 mph time, a stark contrast to the standard model's 320 horsepower. Key improvements include enhanced cooling systems, larger brakes, sticky summer tires on 21-inch wheels, and a reinforced chassis. The interior receives sport-focused upgrades like Alcantara-trimmed seats, a redesigned center console for better bracing during spirited driving, and a customizable N mode with extensive performance tuning options. However, this extreme performance comes at a cost: significantly reduced range, averaging 2.7 miles per kWh on the highway, making it less ideal for long road trips compared to standard Ioniq 5 models. Charging is exceptionally fast, with 10-80% taking around 19 minutes. While the reviewer praises its track capability and adaptability for both daily commuting and weekend track days, they note the lack of a front trunk and the inability to tow as drawbacks. The seats are found to be more comfortable for larger individuals than those in the Kia EV6 GT.
