The Hyundai Ioniq 5 range will grow next year with the introduction of the N performance model. Not everything is known yet, but a new interview with Drive.com.au with Hyundai’s Executive Technical Advisor Albert Biermann gives some details on the upcoming electric crossover.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N will run on the automaker’s E-GMP architecture that also underpins the Kia EV6 GT, which produces 576 horsepower (420 kilowatts) from its twin-motor, all-wheel-drive configuration. Biermann did not disclose the Hyundai’s power output, but he said it would be around 600 hp (441 kW), suggesting it could be as high as 620 hp (456 kW) or as low as 580 hp (427 kW). However, Hyundai has not yet finalized its production.

Either way, it’ll be much quicker than the Hyundai i30N, which needs 5.5 seconds to hit 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour). The EV6 GT does it in 3.5 seconds, but that’s the easy part. The driving experience will be about how big of a smile the car puts on drivers’ faces.
Biermann also revealed that the Hyundai crossover will also come with a Drift mode, capable of sending most of the car’s power to the rear wheels for added fun. While the electric vehicle will feature regenerative braking, Hyundai also plans to install “powerful friction brakes”. According to Biermann, the Ioniq 5 N will have to pass its Nurburgring tests designed for Hyundai’s N models.
The crossover is expected to receive unique styling, which Hyundai has been hiding on test vehicles our spy photographers have spotted over the past few months. The N will sport a unique front bumper to differentiate it from its non-N sibling. There is a roof spoiler at the rear and the model could have new taillight graphics. The car is expected to come with Hyundai’s largest 77.4 kilowatt-hour battery.
Hyundai has announced that it will unveil the Ioniq 5 N in 2023. We don’t know when that will be, but hopefully it will be early in the year, so there’s a better chance of the car hitting the market. before 2024. Nothing is for sure, but we hope to hear more about the EV in the months leading up to the reveal.
