Hyundai IONIQ 5 N: The Most Fun You Can Have In An EV? | Forbes
When you get behind he wheel of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, you might think this solid electric crossover has been tricked out with sport details and wonder, can the underlying electric power plant possibly support it?
But head out on the road and tap the “N” buttons (there are two) on the steering wheel and hold on to your hat. You’re in for an incredible ride.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N delivers a breath-stealing 641 hp and instant torque; it’s almost impossible to not floor the accelerator the first chance you get once you discover the thrill it delivers. Pop it into N e-shift using the lower right button on the steering wheel and you’ll get a Shelby-like guttural growl as the car accelerates and the gurgle of rev-matching as you ease off the accelerator, sounds delivered by 8 speakers: 6 inside the cabin and two outside.
The Ioniq 5 N’s engineering — a mesh of software, electrical and mechanical — is actually quite brilliant. Electric cars by nature are a natural for the track; regenerative braking allows the driver to focus more on the accelerator and less on braking; dual motor all wheel drive creates better cornering; instant torque shaves precious milliseconds off performance times.
