2024 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5N REVIEW | A TRULY GAME CHANGING CAR

EV Channels Review

The Hyundai IONIQ 5N is hailed as a "Super Hatch" and a "game-changing" electric performance car, potentially the best driver's car on the market. The reviewer is overwhelmingly impressed, highlighting its 600-641 brake horsepower, 3.4-second 0-60 mph time, and impressive handling that defies conventional physics. The car is praised for its dual personality: comfortable and normal for daily driving, yet an "absolute fire-breathing monster" when switched to performance modes. The simulated manual gearbox and engine noises are surprisingly well-executed, adding significant driver engagement. Practicality is also noted, with a usable boot and comfortable rear seats, though rear headroom might be tight for taller individuals. The interior is well-designed and robust. The only minor criticism is the NGB button temporarily disengaging manual gear mode. Overall, the IONIQ 5N is considered an outstanding, fun, and personality-filled machine that can convert even petrolheads, offering supercar performance at a significantly lower price point than comparable internal combustion engine cars.
