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.

  I’d gladly pay that for an SRT Durango. I also wouldn’t pay a third of that for the garbage Hyundai EV.
  And thats the difference between ICE and EVs.

  Sure, if you're renting it for a day.
  If you're buying it? The Dodge will show its taillights to that Kia the first time they drove down a gravel road and the Kia stopped because a rock scratched it.
  Or after 3 years, when the Dodge still has value and the Kia...doesn't.

  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!

El scotto No rag-top, no rag-top(s) = not a prestigious car brand. Think it through. All of the high-end Germans and Lexus have rag-tops. Corvette is really its own brand.World-leading engines. AMG, M, S and well Lexus is third-world tough. GM makes one of the best V-8s in the world in Bowling Green. But nooooo, noooo, we're GM only Corvettes get Corvette engines. Balderdash! I say. Put Corvette engines in the top-tier Cadillacs. I know GM could make a world-class 3.5 liter V-6 but they don't or won't. In the interior everything that gets touched, including your butt, has to feel good. No exceptions.Some think that those who pay above MSRP and brag about it are idiots. Go the opposite direction, and offer an extended 10-year 100,000-mile factory warranty. At a reasonable price. That's Acura's current business model.
Carrera 2014 Toyota Corolla with 192,000 miles bought new. Oil changes every 5,000 miles, 1 coolant flush, and a bunch of air filters and in cabin air filters, and wipers. On my 4th set of tires.Original brake pads ( manual transmission), original spark plugs. Nothing else...it's a Toyota. Did most of oil changes either free at Toyota or myself. Also 3 batteries.2022 Acura TLX A-Spec AWD 13,000 miles now but bought new.Two oil changes...2006 Hyundai Elantra gifted from a colleague with 318,000 when I got it, and 335,000 now. It needed some TLC. A set of cheap Chinese tires ($275), AC compressor, evaporator, expansion valve package ( $290) , two TYC headlights $120, one battery ( $95), two oil changes, air filters, Denso alternator ( $185), coolant, and labor for AC job ( $200).
Mike-NB2 This is a mostly uninformed vote, but I'll go with the Mazda 3 too.I haven't driven a new Civic, so I can't say anything about it, but two weeks ago I had a 2023 Corolla as a rental. While I can understand why so many people buy these, I was surprised at how bad the CVT is. Many rentals I've driven have a CVT and while I know it has one and can tell, they aren't usually too bad. I'd never own a car with a CVT, but I can live with one as a rental. But the Corolla's CVT was terrible. It was like it screamed "CVT!" the whole time. On the highway with cruise control on, I could feel it adjusting to track the set speed. Passing on the highway (two-lane) was risky. The engine isn't under-powered, but the CVT makes it seem that way.A minor complaint is about the steering. It's waaaay over-assisted. At low speeds, it's like a 70s LTD with one-finger effort. Maybe that's deliberate though, given the Corolla's demographic.
Mike-NB2 2019 Ranger - 30,000 miles / 50,000 km. Nothing but oil changes. Original tires are being replaced a week from Wednesday. (Not all that mileage is on the original A/S tires. I put dedicated winter rims/tires on it every winter.)2024 - Golf R - 1700 miles / 2800 km. Not really broken in yet. Nothing but gas in the tank.
SaulTigh I've got a 2014 F150 with 87K on the clock and have spent exactly $4,180.77 in maintenance and repairs in that time. That's pretty hard to beat.Hard to say on my 2019 Mercedes, because I prepaid for three years of service (B,A,B) and am getting the last of those at the end of the month. Did just drop $1,700 on new Michelins for it at Tire Rack. Tires for the F150 late last year were under $700, so I'd say the Benz is roughly 2 to 3 times as pricy for anything over the Ford.I have the F150 serviced at a large independent shop, the Benz at the dealership.
