Hyundai has officially released the specifications of the Ioniq 5 N model for the North American market ahead of the opening of the 2023 Los Angeles Auto Show. The price of the car has not been revealed yet, but the Korean automaker has announced that the car will be available at dealerships in the US in March 2024.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N 2025 for the US and Canada markets is quite similar to the version that was introduced for the international market a few months ago. Specifically, similar to the regular Ioniq 5, the new Ioniq 5 N is developed based on the Electric-Global Module Platform of the brand. The car is equipped with a larger 84 kWh battery pack and upgraded electric motors at the front and rear.
The front electric motor generates 223 horsepower, while the rear electric motor generates 378 horsepower. The combined power output of the two motors is 601 horsepower, which can be boosted to 641 horsepower in Boost mode, making the car even more powerful than the Kia EV6 GT. The Ioniq 5 N can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 260 km/h. With the N Launch Control mode activated, the car can accelerate to 100 km/h in just 3.25 seconds.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N can be charged from 10-80% in just 18 minutes thanks to its fast charging technology. Drivers can optimize battery performance with Hyundai’s N Battery Pre-conditioning system, which offers Drag mode or Track mode options. The N Race feature provides more control over the car’s energy usage.
The weight of the Ioniq 5 N has not been revealed, but it is heavier than the standard model due to the larger wheels, modified suspension system, new aerodynamic components, and updated regenerative braking system. However, Hyundai has made efforts to counteract the weight through software and other techniques.
Hyundai has equipped the Ioniq 5 N with its strongest braking system ever, featuring 400 mm front discs with four-piston calipers and 360 mm rear discs. The brake system is built with new lightweight materials and a hybrid structure, ensuring optimal braking performance.
The new Hyundai Ioniq 5 N has undergone several design changes. It is 20 mm lower, 50 mm wider, and 80 mm longer than the regular model. The car features a new air splitter, active air flaps, unique aerodynamic skirts, prominent diffusers, triangle-shaped brake lights, and a rear window wiper. It comes standard with 21-inch forged aluminum wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero 275/35 tires.
The interior of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N boasts a new N-design steering wheel, which includes the logo of the high-performance division. The steering wheel features four buttons for Drive Mode Select, N Grin Boost, and two N Custom buttons. Paddle shifters and the N Pedal function are located behind the steering wheel.
For added driver comfort on the race track, Hyundai has installed a headrest pad and a leg tube support on the reinforced center control cluster, along with an extended sliding armrest. The seat position has been lowered by about 0.79 inches and comes with pixel pattern fabric and leather or a combination of leather and eco-friendly Alcantara.
Customers in the US can choose from exterior colors including Performance Blue Matte, Abyss Black Pearl, Ecotronic Gray Matte, Atlas White, and Soultronic Orange Pearl when ordering the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N 2025.
