The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is set to hit the market soon with a starting price of $67,475. The vehicle, which delivers a considerable 641 horsepower through it’s all-wheel drive system, boasts several unique features, including a drift mode, an overboost function, and an “e-Shift” feature that simulates gear changes. Positioned in terms of price between the high-performance Kia EV6 GT and the Genesis GV60 Performance, the Ioniq 5 N represents a new step in Hyundai’s vehicle line-up.
Price Point and Value
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is priced around $24,000 above the cost of the base model of the Ioniq 5 and about $9,000 more than the Limited version with power boosted to 320 hp. Its high performance features make it increasingly appealing to those seeking an electric vehicle that performs well on the track. For the additional price, consumers gain a host of exclusive upgrades that the manufacturer foresees in high demand.
High Performance Features
The Ioniq 5 N comes with a range of unique content designed for maximum performance. This includes an electric powertrain capable of generating up to 641 hp with the overboost function activated, an 84.0 kWh battery pack, enhanced Brembo brakes, Pirelli P Zero three-season tires, and a lowered and widened body. These enhancements set the N model apart from the regular Ioniq 5 and give it its competitive edge.
Enhanced Driving Experience
To augment the driving experience, Hyundai has equipped the Ioniq 5 N with novel features such as a drift mode which induces oversteer and a Torque Drift Kick system that simulates a clutch dump. The N e-Shift function delivers the feel of an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and the N Active Sound+ system can generate artificial combustion engine sounds, for those who miss the roar of a gas engine.
Competition Among the Hyundai Family
While the 2025 Ioniq 5 N represents a new offering from Hyundai, it isn’t the only high-performance electric vehicle within the Hyundai Motor Group family. Other brands under the same umbrella offer similar products; the 576-hp Kia EV6 GT, which starts at $62,975, and the 483-hp GV60 Performance from Genesis, the most expensive of the three. This high-powered offering from Hyundai is therefore middle of the pack in terms of pricing among its immediate peers in the Hyundai Motor Group.
As revolutions continue in the electric vehicle sector, the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N stands out with its unique, performance-biased attributes. It sends a strong message of Hyundai’s dedication to offering high-performance electric vehicles, cultivating a new image for electric mobility, and enticing consumers with speed and performance.
