In an era where the automotive industry is shifting gears towards electrification, Hyundai is not just keeping pace but accelerating ahead. Introducing the 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N, the first high-performance N-brand electric vehicle that redefines benchmarks for electric cars. Combining Hyundai’s acclaimed E-GMP platform with the thrill of the N brand, the IONIQ 5 N promises an exhilarating driving experience on both road and track.
A New Standard in Design
The IONIQ 5 N exudes a dynamic, aggressive aura that is rooted in motorsport DNA. The lowered ground clearance not only enhances its sporty appearance but also improves handling by lowering the centre of gravity. The vehicle's aesthetics are further amplified by exclusive N design elements, including unique N bumpers, fenders, cladding, door sill plates, and a raised roof spoiler with an LED brake light. The eye-catching luminous orange racing stripe adds a bold touch, ensuring the IONIQ 5 N stands out in any setting.
Available in a range of striking colors such as Performance Blue (matte), Abyss Black, Atlas White, Cyber Grey, Ecotronic Grey (Matte), and Soultronic Orange, the IONIQ 5 N is as visually compelling as it is performance-oriented. The 21" forged alloy wheels and high-performance tires complete the exterior package, ready to tackle any driving challenge.
Interior: Where Comfort Meets Performance
Step inside the IONIQ 5 N, and you'll find an interior designed for both comfort and control. The driver-centric cabin features heated and ventilated front seats, with N Sport bucket seats that come with an illuminated N logo, adding a touch of racetrack ambiance. The steering wheel, wrapped in perforated leatherette, includes paddle shifters for N e-Shift and N Brake Regen, ensuring precise control at your fingertips.
The interior trim with dark liquid metallic finishes, N aluminum pedals, and sliding second-row seats with reclining seatbacks highlight the blend of luxury and functionality. Every element is meticulously crafted to provide a superior driving experience, whether you're on a daily commute or pushing the car to its limits on the track.
Technological Innovation
Hyundai's commitment to innovation shines through in the IONIQ 5 N’s advanced technology features. The dual motor all-wheel drive system delivers a staggering 601 horsepower, which can be boosted to 641 hp with the N Grin Boost for maximum acceleration. The vehicle sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, reaching a top speed of 260 km/h.
Charging efficiency is equally impressive. The 84 kWh lithium-ion high-voltage battery supports ultra-fast 800 V charging, allowing it to charge from 10% to 80% in a mere 18 minutes when connected to a 350 kW charger. This means less time waiting and more time enjoying the drive.
Performance You Can Feel
The IONIQ 5 N is designed to deliver a driving experience that is both thrilling and versatile. With drive modes like Eco, Normal, Sport, and the customizable N mode, drivers can tailor the car's performance to their specific preferences. The N Brake Regen system enhances braking performance, providing up to 0.6 G of brake force on the track, while the N e-Shift mimics the gear shifts of an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission for an authentic driving feel.
The N Drift Optimizer ensures precise control during drifts, maintaining the drift angle with style and precision. Adding to the sensory experience, the N Active Sound+ system simulates the sound of a high-performance exhaust, customizable to deliver the crackles and pops that driving enthusiasts love.
Enhanced Battery Management
To ensure optimal performance in various conditions, the IONIQ 5 N comes equipped with a heat pump and a sophisticated battery thermal management and preconditioning system. This advanced cooling system enhances the heat exchange capacity, improving the motor oil cooler and battery chiller to maximize driving capability and efficiency.
