Enhancing its dynamic capabilities over IONIQ 5 N, the redesigned geometry features a lowered roll center and enlarged caster trail ^[1] for improved on-center feel, steering feedback and self-centering behavior. The new electronically controlled stroke sensing (ECS) dampers promise a new level of driver confidence by delivering a refined balance of comfort and precise handling response.
• Innovative N e-shift / N Active Sound +: Building on the success of IONIQ 5 N, IONIQ 6 N further elevates the driving experience with advanced N e-shift technology, now available in every drive mode and offering motorsport-inspired close gear ratios. Adding to the immersion is the debut of the ‘N Ambient Shift Light’, which visually indicates the precise shift points for optimal performance.
• Enhanced N Drift Optimizer: Drivers can now fine-tune drift functionality with a broader range of customization options, allowing tailored control based on their drifting proficiency. This enhanced feature underscores IONIQ 6 N’s commitment to providing an interactive driving experience, augmented by seamless implementation of advanced electronics.

Hyundai has also released the first teaser film of IONIQ 6 N via the Hyundai N Worldwide YouTube channel, offering a striking cinematic glimpse of the car’s dynamic silhouette in action on the track.

Recently unveiled teaser images show a high-performance sedan profile, engineered for high-speed stability through intensive aerodynamic development. Flared fenders, a wider stance, lightweight wheels and a motorsport-inspired swan-neck rear spoiler all emphasize IONIQ 6 N’s focus on aerodynamic efficiency and dynamic capability.

IONIQ 6 N will make its public debut at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the Hyundai N brand will present a lineup of performance vehicles within a dedicated brand booth. The N Booth will feature interactive public activations, including race simulators and photo booths.

This high-performance sedan is set to disrupt the EV segment by delivering an exhilarating driving experience rooted in N’s core performance pillars: Corner Rascal,’ ‘Racetrack Capability’ and ‘Everyday Sports Car.’

“The IONIQ 6 N has been developed to provide the most engaging driving experience possible in an EV,” said Joon Park, Vice President and Head of N Management Group. “Hyundai N will once again disrupt the EV segment, not with headline grabbing numbers, but by demonstrating how fun an electric car driving experience can be.”

Leatherhead, 25th June 2025 – The trailblazing Hyundai IONIQ 5 N’s dominance among electric performance cars has been recognised again in the form of a coveted ‘Five-Star Car’ accolade in the 2025 Autocar Awards. 

For nearly 100 years, the Autocar road test has been respected the world over for providing a comprehensive assessment of new cars’ abilities. The Five-Star Car award is presented each year to those rare models that receive the perfect score from testers; over the past 12 months only three cars achieved the maximum rating, underscoring the exceptionally high standards required.

The IONIQ 5 N is the first Hyundai ever to be accorded five-star status by Autocar, and the test team were particularly impressed with its innovative technology, hailing the model as a “game changer” that is “blindingly good fun and capable of rising to any occasion in dynamic terms”.

Mark Tisshaw, Autocar Editor, said: “Cars that truly change the game have always been vanishingly rare, and that remains true in the topsy-turvy era the automotive industry is currently weathering. Yet the IONIQ 5 N is just that: a game-changer. With the arrival of the N, the electric driver’s car has landed, and it’s fully deserving of its perfect five-star Autocar road test.”

Since its launch in late 2023, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N has earned rave reviews thanks to a driving experience that is the perfect fusion of modern electric performance and old-school hot hatch charm.

An array of clever features helps it set a new benchmark in terms of emotional engagement for a performance EV, headlined by the innovative N e-shift, which simulates the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission of internal combustion engine N cars. It’s complemented by an addictive soundtrack reminiscent of a traditional emotive ICE car thanks to the car’s clever N Active Sound+ technology. When paired with the IONIQ 5 N’s incredible ability – it is capable of producing up to 650 PS with N Grin Boost, and can accelerate from 0-62mph in just 3.4 seconds – the result is an exhilarating, pioneering EV, available from £65,010.

This commitment to rewriting the rulebook for performance EVs has resulted in a string of high-profile awards, including being named 2024 World Performance Car in the World Car Awards, TopGear.com’s overall 2023 Car of the Year, Best Performance Car of 2024 by both Autocar and Auto Express, and The Sunday Times’ 2024 Hot Hatch of the Year.

Ashley Andrew, President of Hyundai & Genesis UK, said: “From the outset, the IONIQ 5 N has been a car that has demonstrated Hyundai’s technological leadership, helping to change perceptions about the brand thanks to its wonderful performance, precision handling and genuine emotional engagement. This is demonstrated yet again by the Five-Star Car award from Autocar, recognition of its success in one of the toughest and most revered road tests in the motor industry.”
