Hyundai’s latest offering, the 2025 Ioniq 5 N, hits the market this month, boasting a starting price of $67,475. With a robust 641-horsepower electric powertrain and a suite of exclusive features, this all-wheel-drive powerhouse slots neatly between its corporate siblings—the Kia EV6 GT and the Genesis GV60 Performance—in terms of performance and price.
As the first electric Hyundai model to receive the brand’s high-performance N treatment, the Ioniq 5 N offers a thrilling driving experience combined with cutting-edge technology.
Equipped with a drift mode, over-boost function (N Grin Boost), and an innovative “e-Shift” feature simulating gear changes, this vehicle is engineered to dominate the track.
Priced competitively within its segment, the Ioniq 5 N offers exceptional value for enthusiasts seeking an electric vehicle designed for high-performance driving.
With a $24,000 premium over the base rear-wheel-drive configuration and a $9,000 increase compared to the top-spec Limited variant, the N model delivers unparalleled power and agility.
Featuring an impressive 84.0-kWh battery pack, upgraded Brembo brakes, and Pirelli P Zero three-season tires, the Ioniq 5 N delivers exhilarating performance while maintaining stability and control. Its wider dimensions and lowered stance further enhance its presence on the road, ensuring a commanding presence.
Among its standout features are the drift mode for inducing controlled oversteer, the Torque Drift Kick system for simulating clutch dumps, and the N e-Shift function replicating the sensation of a dual-clutch transmission. Additionally, the N Active Sound+ system adds a touch of authenticity with simulated gas-engine noises.
While the Ioniq 5 N marks Hyundai’s foray into the realm of high-performance electric vehicles, it shares the spotlight with its counterparts from Kia and Genesis. The Kia EV6 GT offers 576 horsepower at a starting price of $62,975, catering to performance enthusiasts.
Meanwhile, Genesis presents the GV60 Performance, boasting 483 horsepower and a price tag of $70,900, targeting luxury buyers. With its blend of performance, technology, and value, the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N promises to make a significant impact in the electric vehicle market upon its release this month.
