2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N Overview

Hyundai’s amped up the appeal of its electric IONIQ 5 with the release of a high-performance version, the IONIQ 5 N. Fresh for the 2025 model year, this head-turning electric vehicle (EV) busts the myth that a sustainable car can’t deliver serious power. Let’s take a closer look at the hottest new EV on the market: the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N.

Impressive Performance

A pair of robust electric motors power the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N. Their standard output of 601 horsepower is already impressive, but the N Grin Boost feature temporarily bumps that up to 641 horsepower when you need some extra muscle. The all-wheel-drive system channels most of the performance to the front or rear wheels, depending on your driving needs.

There are four different driving modes — Eco, Normal, Sport, and N — that automatically adjust the steering weight, throttle sensitivity, and damping for various driving styles. You can also activate Endurance mode to preserve the battery life or Sprint mode for maximum power. There’s even a Drift mode for epic sliding action. Whatever option you choose, the IONIQ 5 N handles it like a dream. It might not be one of the gas-guzzling high-performance vehicles of old, but the simulated gearshift feature helps it feel like one. And if the feature isn’t your style, you can easily disable it.

Vehicles rarely outperform the manufacturer’s expectations, but the IONIQ 5 N does just that. During independent testing, it reached 0 to 60 mph in just 3 seconds, which is 0.3 seconds faster than Hyundai’s estimate. It also covered a quarter mile in just 11.1 seconds.

Eye-Catching Good Looks

No one buys a performance vehicle simply because they want to go fast. Most people never get the chance to push these kinds of cars to their limits, so styling might be even more important than capability. Hyundai delivers on that score by adding athletic hardware and making its advanced model longer, lower, and broader. From the sporty nosepiece to the large diffuser and wide fenders at the back, it cuts a striking figure. Hyundai has also increased the wheel size from 18 inches to 21 inches to enhance performance and give the IONIQ 5 N a more imposing presence.

Fantastic Range and Fuel Economy

The EPA estimates that the IONIQ 5 N’s 84.0 kWh battery pack has a mixed driving range of 221 miles per charge. It’ll recharge on a DC connection at up to 238 kW in about 20 minutes. EPA projections for fuel economy suggest you’ll get 84 MPGe in the city and 72 MPGe on the highway. In real-world conditions, testers have reported getting 69 MPGe, which is still impressive for a performance vehicle.

Ultimate Interior Comfort

The IONIQ 5 N’s cabin mirrors the standard IONIQ 5 but adds a touch of flair. Extra padding in the front seats provides you with support during cornering at high speeds. Intuitive buttons on the steering wheel help you access the different driving modes and unique high-performance features. Like the traditional IONIQ 5, the flat floor optimizes the space for passengers and cargo. Its wheelbase is longer than that of its competitors, giving front and rear passengers more legroom than they might expect. The rear seats also fold down to more than double the available cargo space.

Hyundai has added several performance-oriented features to the N’s interior to enhance the driving experience. A set of aggressively bolstered front seats help hold you in place during high-speed cornering and a unique steering wheel features buttons to access the SUV’s drive modes, regenerative braking levels, and the N Grin Boost feature. You can expect to see an identical amount of passenger and cargo space as the standard IONIQ 5, which held a maximum of 20 carry-on suitcases inside with the rear seats folded during testing.

Top Technology on Board

Just like the standard IONIQ 5, the 5 N features a large 12.3-inch infotainment touch screen and a matching 12.0-inch digital gauge cluster. The infotainment system wirelessly integrates with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing you to easily access all your favorite functions, including smartphone contacts, navigation and maps, and playlists. Your smartphone also becomes a digital key for unlocking doors and starting your vehicle. If you can bear to let someone else take a turn in the driver’s seat, you can text them your digital key for instant access.

The premium Bluelink+ connected car service is complimentary with your IONIQ 5 N. This service lets you remotely schedule or control charging, activate climate control, lock and unlock your doors, and much more.

Superior Safety Credentials

Hyundai packs the IONIQ 5 N with security aspects to help you manage all the available power. It includes an incredibly comprehensive version of Hyundai’s SmartSense safety suite, which boasts a host of helpful features, including:

• Forward collision-avoidance assist enhancements
• Highway driving assist 2
• Smart cruise control with stop and go
• Navigation-based smart cruise control and curve control
• Driver attention warning
• Lane-keeping assist
• Lane following assist
• Blind-spot view monitor
• Surround view monitor
• Safe exit assist
• Rear occupant alert
• Blind-spot collision-avoidance assist
• High-beam assist
• Rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist
• Reverse parking collision-avoidance assist

While Hyundai SmartSense can never replace your own attentive driving, it can provide real peace of mind when you’re driving a dynamic vehicle such as the IONIQ 5 N. Think of these features as a diligent copilot, acting as an extra set of eyes and hands to help you avoid danger and keep you, your loved ones, and other road users safe on the roads around Dublin, California.
