The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq N Will Land With an Almost $70,000 Price Tag

Hyundai is expanding its “N” performance line with the new electric Ioniq 5 N, which will land as a 2025 model. The automaker recently priced the hot EV, making it the most expensive vehicle in its lineup in the United States.


The Ioniq 5 N comes with a hefty $67,475 price tag, which includes a $1,375 destination charge. That price makes it more expensive than the Hyundai Nexo fuel cell vehicle by about five grand and a whopping $25,000 pricier than the cheapest “regular” Ioniq 5. It’s also around $5,000 more than the Kia EV6 GT, the closest rival to the Ioniq 5 N.


Of course, that money buys a lot of performance and plenty of features. Hyundai is selling the EV as a single trim, so it gets all the goodies that would otherwise cost extra. In addition to the power output, which at 601 horsepower and up to 641 ponies with temporary boost engaged, is prodigious and a low-three-second 0-60 mph time, it gets a sporty but well-trimmed interior, plenty of tech, and a load of safety kit.


Hyundai also made substantive updates to the Ioniq 5’s propulsion system, including an upgraded thermal management system to prevent battery damage during extreme track driving. Selectable drive modes let the driver dial in performance and energy consumption. The Endurance mode limits peak power output to conserve battery on the track, while Sprint gives full juice for the fastest lap times.


Inside, the hot SUV gets a unique steering wheel design with the N logo and a center console optimized for track driving. It offers a knee pad and shin support, and the armrests are adjustable. Finally, its sport seats come wrapped in synthetic suede and offer heating and ventilation.

    Seems silly to quibble about a $67k Hyundai Ioniq in a world of $77k Dodge Durango SRTs that the Hyundai would show its taillights to.

      The SRT can just go fast; it is in no way a track vehicle.

      While BEVs depreciate at a rapid rate, the N should hold its value better due to the rarity of track capable BEVs.

    WAIT! We all know Hyundai’s and Kia’s MO. We wait a few months, let the full priced guys buy their cars. We get I5N at steep discounts. The EV6 GT are selling at 45-47k with a few thousand miles on them. New, they are selling 10k off MSRP. No difference for the I5N!

  • Rover Sig The range of salaries (and of wealth in general) is now quite extended. There are people who live on $30K a year and drive a 30 year old Ford Ranger (the most loyally loved truck in America). There are couples who each make $250K a year, $500K total, and $90K luxo SUV is nothing to them. I see this range of vehicles every day in Northern Virginia/Maryland. The vehicle makers want to sell to just the high end folks, but they are only 10-20% of the population and can't sustain the industry. The companies need to sell a bit of something to everyone on the spectrum of wealth.
  • Tassos Even if you ARE interested in a BEV, this is ABSOLUTELY LAUGHABLE. NO EXCUSES.The RANGE is DISMAL, and yet they ask... $38k for it? Are you OUT OF YOUR STUPID MIND, NISSAN? I would not pay HALF that for such an underperformer!
  • Akear I told a friend why did you pay $100,000 for an excreable GM truck. He had no logical answer.
  • Bd2 According to May sales data, sales of vehicles under $40k and over $60k increased market share.
  • SPPPP I suspect that margins will still be quite substantial, even with the discount.
