The 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, the most powerful and expensive Hyundai ever, has hit the market in Australia. Featuring a 478kW electric motor, gear shifts, and synthetic engine sounds, this high-performance electric car comes with a host of upgrades and advanced software features. Priced at $111,000 plus on-road costs, it is now available for sale in Australia.
Developed as part of Hyundai’s N performance range, the Ioniq 5 N offers exceptional power and speed, with the ability to deliver 478kW and 770Nm in N Grin Boost mode. This translates to a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.4 seconds, making it one of the fastest electric cars on the market. The 84 kWh battery provides a range of 448 km, but is slightly less than the regular Ioniq 5 due to larger wheels, tires, body kit, and other improvements.
In addition to the powerful electric motor and battery configuration, the Ioniq 5 N is equipped with performance upgrades such as adaptive dampers, an electronic limited-slip differential, and improved battery and brake cooling. The front and rear brakes have been upgraded to 400mm and 360mm respectively, reducing the braking distance from 43 meters to 40.2 metres.
The car also comes with a suite of software features, including simulated gear changes, synthetic engine/driving sounds, launch control, and drift optimization, offering an enhanced driving experience. Both Sprint and Endurance modes are available for driving on the race track, with the latter reducing power and torque to maintain optimal power consumption and prevent overheating.
The Ioniq 5 N boasts a unique body design, with wider wheelbases and a sporty body kit featuring a more aggressive rear spoiler, bumper, and detailing in orange and black. The 21-inch wheels and Pirelli tires provide excellent grip and stability, while the interior features unique N-branded sport seats with heating, ventilation, and illuminated logos.
In terms of technology, the vehicle is equipped with Hyundai’s latest ccNC infotainment system, which includes wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, satellite navigation, and over-the-air updates. A new Highway Driving Assist 2 semi-autonomous driving system capable of assisted lane changes adds to the vehicle’s highly advanced features.
