EV Channels Review

The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is presented as the most exciting EV of 2024, a "spicy hot hatch" version of the standard IONIQ 5. The reviewer highlights its aggressive styling, wider stance, and significantly upgraded performance, boasting 640 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque (648 lb-ft in boost mode). Key features praised include enhanced cooling, larger brakes, a revised interior with aggressive bolstering, and an 84 kWh usable battery. The reviewer is particularly enthusiastic about the extensive customization options, including 11 drive modes, drift optimizer, and torque distribution settings, emphasizing its dual nature as a track-capable performance machine and a daily driver with features like adaptive cruise control and lane centering. While the exact charging speed and price remain unconfirmed, the reviewer anticipates it will be a premium offering, potentially around $70,000, positioning it as a unique enthusiast EV.
