Hyundai IONIQ 5 N

The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is an electric crossover designed to deliver a visceral driving experience, replicating the exhilaration of a high-performance internal combustion engine through its track-tuned chassis and suite of N-exclusive technologies. 

With N Grin Boost, it produces 650 PS of maximum power and boasts a top speed of 260km/h. It can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds. Despite its high-performance traits, this crossover remains practical, thanks to its 448-km WLTP range and a generous 3,000-mm wheelbase.

Some of its signature N technologies are as follows:

• N e-Shift (the world’s first EV system to simulate the feel of an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission)
• N Active Sound+ (NAS+)
• N Drift Optimiser
• N Grin Boost (NGB)
• N Torque Distribution (NTD)
• N Launch Control

Hyundai IONIQ 6 N

On the other hand, the Hyundai IONIQ 6 N, which was crowned the 2026 World Performance Car, is an electric sedan engineered to deliver outstanding aerodynamics and an elevated Hyundai N philosophy. It is aggressive and precise, effortlessly gliding through corners and city traffic with its 0.27 Cd drag coefficient body and stroke-sensing Electronically Controlled Suspension (ECS).

Performance-wise, this sedan also produces 650 PS of maximum power, with N Grin Boost, similar to its crossover counterpart. However, the IONIQ 6 N offers a higher (extended) WLTP range of 487 km and a faster 0-100km/h acceleration time of 3.2 seconds. It reaches a top speed of 257km/h.
