The range topping Ioniq 5 N is built on Hyundai/Kia's E-GMP dedicated EV platform and features an entirely new dual motor setup, delivering up 478kW of peak performance to all four wheels—175kW to the front and 313kW to the rear.

Underscoring its performance credentials, the boost feature allows drivers to experience the full power of the Ioniq 5 N by accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.4 seconds.

Beyond its impressive straight-line performance, the Ioniq 5 N incorporates technological enhancements for optimal power distribution and driver engagement during cornering. You can read more about this in the following section.

The 84kWh battery (80.6 kWh useable) provides up to 450km of claimed WLTP range. The battery can also support a maximum charge rate at up to 240kW, resulting in a quick charge from 10% to 80% in just 18minutes using a 350kW DC rapid charger.

The Ioniq 5 N is built on the same chassis as the remainder of the Ioniq 5 range, but is slightly longer. It is also at least 300kg heavier due to the slightly larger battery and more powerful motors that underpin the drivetrain.

As an Everyday Sportscar, the IONIQ 5 N incorporates N e-shift for controlled power delivery and N Active Sound +, offering a range of sound themes. The V2L feature, allowing the vehicle to power other devices, is retained, adding to its practicality.

Design and Comfort

In terms of design, the IONIQ 5 N stands out with its lowered, wider, and longer stature compared to the standard IONIQ 5. It features a specialized front fascia, aerodynamic elements, and high-performance tyres. The interior is adorned with a redesigned N steering wheel, N seats with reinforced bolsters, and sustainable materials throughout the cabin.

When it comes to straight-line speed, the Ioniq 5 N is the fastest electric SUV you can buy Australia currently. While it is much pricier than similarly quick SUVs as as the Tesla Model Y Performance, Kia EV6 GT and Volvo EX30 Dual Motor Performance - none of these have undergone the same level of performance tuning and modifications like the Ioniq 5 N.
