The interior of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N retains the same spaciousness as the rest of the range, which is a trademark of the model. There are some obvious performance upgrades including an N exclusive steering wheel, N exclusive pedals, N and Light seats, as well as N style paperette inserts on the doors.

Notably the new seats are fitted lower than the standard Ioniq 5, and are no longer separated by the ‘floating’ centre console but instead there’s a fixed unit between the front occupants.

Hyundai claims the range of the Ioniq 5 N is 448km on the WLTP cycle, using electricity at a claimed rate of 21.1kWh/100km.

Hyundai claims the Ioniq 5 N can take just 3.4 seconds to run 0-100km/h when N Grin Boost is engaged, or 3.5 seconds in standard settings. Top speed is rated at 260km/h.

Standard equipment for the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N includes LED front and rear lighting, vehicle-to-load functionality, head-up display, leather and Alcantara upholstery, Hyundai’s Bluelink connectivity, twin 12.3-inch digital displays and an eight-speaker Bose premium sound system. The only optional extras are a glass roof for $2000 and matte paint, which costs an extra $1000.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N comes standard with five seats. The front seats are unique to the model, lighter N Sports seats finished in Alcantara and leather with contrasting blue stitching.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N sits on the same e-GMP platform as the standard Ioniq 5 but with more powerful front and rear motors. In standard settings it makes 448kW/740Nm, which is a giant-leap ahead of what Hyundai has previously offered. The N Grin Boost button on the steering wheel will give you a 10 second boost that sends power and torque to a supercar-like 478kW/770Nm.
