The World Car Awards has crowned the Ioniq 5 N as the 2024 World Performance Car, marking Hyundai’s seventh title in three years. Paired with the Kia EV6 GT, the Ioniq 5 N stands out with its sportier design and enhanced performance capabilities.

Developed with the N division’s core principles in mind, including Racetrack Capability and Everyday Sportscar, the Ioniq 5 N offers a thrilling driving experience while maintaining practicality.
Despite its weight, the Ioniq 5 N delivers impressive performance thanks to enhancements like forged aluminum wheels and reinforced structural components. Inside, the cabin reflects the car’s sporty ethos, featuring N-specific elements such as a steering wheel and bolstered seats.
Under the hood, the Ioniq 5 N boasts a potent powertrain delivering up to 641 horsepower, making it Hyundai’s quickest model yet. Priced at $66,100 before destination charges, the Ioniq 5 N offers exceptional value with its performance-oriented features and innovative technology, solidifying its position as a world-class performance car.
