This is the first Hyundai EV given the N treatment to transform it into a high-performance car.
TAEAN, South Korea – The Hyundai Ioniq 5 has been transformed by the South Korean carmaker’s N brand team to become a supercar-slaying monster with 478kW of power and 770Nm of torque, with handling-enhancing upgrades to make it an exciting drive.
In terms of design, the N gets a different front bumper and bodykit, along with massive 21-inch forged wheels with gigantic brake discs . The Ioniq 5 N certainly looks the part of a track machine, and I find the retro-futuristic design tastefully discreet.

On a handling course, in the N Race driving mode, the car impressed with its quick and precise steering, and nimble handling. Completing the aural experience is the simulated engine sound. Alternatively, there are two other stranger sound options that seem straight out of computer games, which seem a bit gimmicky.
There was no opportunity to take the car on public roads to get an impression of how the Ioniq 5 N behaves away from these more extreme conditions.
