Hyundai's first electric vehicle on the E-GMP platform, the Ioniq 5, made its debut in 2021 and achieved significant sales success. Despite some ICCU issues and rumors, the car continues to sell steadily, thanks to its stylish design and decent performance, which is a reinterpretation of the iconic Pony design.
Even before, there were rumors about a high-performance model based on the Ioniq 5, known as the Ioniq 5N. Various test cars were seen, teaser videos were released, and test drives garnered great anticipation.
Today, at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK, the Ioniq 5N was unveiled. In this significant automotive event, celebrating its 30th anniversary, Hyundai showcased the high-performance model of the Ioniq 5 as a world premiere.
Starting with the exterior, the Ioniq 5N features Hyundai's high-performance brand N's iconic performance blue color as the main theme. It also incorporates black and red accent lines, similar to those found on the Avante N and Veloster N models.
The front design resembles the Avante N, with certain parts painted in black to create a more aggressive and agile appearance. The Hyundai logo has been updated with a new flat logo in black color, and there's an N logo next to the headlamp.
The design enhancements go beyond just black accents, with aerodynamic elements added for improved performance. The front fenders are more extended due to the inclusion of wider high-performance tires.
On the side profile, you can notice the significantly large wheels, similar to the Avante N's previous generation. Red accents on the side air dams further emphasize its high-performance nature.
The car is equipped with massive 21-inch forged lightweight aluminum wheels with 275/35 Pirelli P Zero tires to handle high output and cornering requirements.
Braking has been improved too, with a 400mm disc and a 4P brake system, addressing the previous concerns in the standard model.
Moving to the rear design, it looks more sporty and wide compared to the regular Ioniq 5. The black two-tone design is enhanced with red accents.
The rear fenders are wider, likely to accommodate the broader tires (275 size) for improved performance. The overall design exudes a strong sense of high-performance.
Inside, the rumored new N logo design steering wheel replaces the standard E-GMP model's design. It features a round three-spoke steering wheel with additional buttons dedicated to N-specific features.
The paddle shifters serve not only for regenerative braking control but also for virtual gear shifts similar to those seen on the GV60. The red button enables the N Green Boost mode, providing maximum speed for up to 10 seconds.
The interior design and materials convey a significantly different feel from the refreshing and lightweight standard Ioniq 5, truly representing the N model identity.
The Ioniq 5N stands out as a dedicated high-performance model, well-equipped with a comprehensive set of features. It's expected to offer more driving excitement compared to the Kia EV6 GT.
Seats come with N Light Bucket design, providing better support during fast cornering situations, thanks to lowered seating position and improved side bolsters.
And It has cooling seat!
As an electric vehicle, battery capacity and driving range are essential factors. The Ioniq 5N packs a larger 84kWh battery than the standard model. While the official range hasn't been disclosed yet, considering the EV6 GT's 434km certification, the Ioniq 5N's range is likely to be similar or slightly higher.
The Ioniq 5N features advanced electronic shift systems, N e-Shift mode, and N Active Sound Plus. These provide various virtual exhaust sounds, simulating a conventional internal combustion engine's gear shifts and revving, enhancing the driving experience.
Hyundai has also put significant effort into battery and drivetrain temperature control, aiming to create one of the world's highest-performing electric vehicles.
The Ioniq 5N is available in ten different color options, with matte and gloss finishes. Apart from the performance blue, there are colors like Ectronic Grey, Soultronic Orange Pearl, and Atlas White.
The release date, price, and driving range details of the Ioniq 5N haven't been disclosed yet, but it's expected to be showcased at the 2023 Goodwood Festival with various demonstrations and test drives.
The Ioniq 5N appears to be a well-crafted high-performance electric vehicle from Hyundai, generating much anticipation among enthusiasts. The possibility of aftermarket tuners offering NGB upgrades for the standard Ioniq 5 is mentioned humorously.
Overall, with its exceptional performance figures and advanced features, the Ioniq 5N is poised to become an impressive addition to the high-performance electric vehicle market. The author of the text is planning to test drive the car and share their experiences and reviews.
That concludes the information about the Hyundai Ioniq 5N, the first high-performance electric vehicle from Hyundai. Like!
