2025 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 N SUPERCAR SPEED, MADE PRACTICAL

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is presented as a unique and powerful electric performance SUV, boasting 601 horsepower (641 with boost) and a 0-60 mph time of 3 seconds. The reviewer highlights its striking 'Performance Blue Matte' exterior with contrasting gloss black and orange accents, and the distinctive retro-futuristic design with squared-off lighting elements. Inside, the cabin features Alcantara suede and leatherette seats with illuminated N logos, though the reviewer notes a mixed bag of material quality, with some areas showing scratches easily. A significant point of contention is the manual seat adjustment in a car costing $68,685, a perceived cost-cutting measure. However, the reviewer praises the extensive customization options for driving dynamics via the N buttons, the immersive (though simulated) engine sounds, the clear and responsive infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and the excellent 360-degree camera system. Despite the manual seats and lack of a sunroof, the reviewer expresses significant enjoyment, calling it a "one of a kind" vehicle and possibly their favorite press car to date.
