An N Grin Mode adds an additional 30kW and 30Nm for a ten second burst, upping the power to Porsche 911 Turbo S levels. Show me an empty race track and I’d pick the Ioniq 5 N over a twice-the-price Porsche Taycan GTS. Months later I had similar dramas in South Korea. 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. It’s the 2020s.

While there have been rumors of deep talks in Spain , numerous meetings with French government officials, and heavy speculation regarding a relationship with Canada, Indonesia, and South Korea, it is becoming overwhelmingly clear that all signs are pointing toward India, a location where Tesla has mulled a factory for several years.

Spy the back end at the wrong angle and it could be the lovechild of a Porsche 993 and Ford AU Falcon. We sampled Hyundai’s new Ioniq 6 ‘Electrified Streamliner’ (not a sedan, Hyundai insists) in South Korea ahead of its early 2023 Australian arrival. Catch it on a good angle and it’s bloody gorgeous.

2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N Hyundai could have gone the Porsche Taycan route and opted for a two-speed transmission, but again, it’s looking to build a bridge for ICE enthusiasts to cross over to The Democratic Republic of EVs. Sure, I’m no Max Verstappen, but my second session went by much quicker than the first, and it was much more fun to boot.
