An N Race function will even permit drivers to regulate power utilization. “Dash” mode is the default, giving the driving force most energy. “Endurance” is designed to maximise vary for longer monitor classes, which it does by limiting sudden energy spikes that may trigger warmth to construct up within the battery, in line with Hyundai.

Engineers additionally revamped the regenerative braking system to permit for as much as 0.6 g of deceleration, which Hyundai claims is an industry-leading determine. Regeneration additionally happens whereas ABS is engaged, at as much as 0.2 g. Hyundai guarantees some upgrades to the hydraulic brakes as properly, together with going with bigger 15.7-inch rotors.

To make drivers really feel extra concerned, the Ioniq 5 N additionally has a function referred to as N e-Shift, which simulates gear shifts utilizing motor torque. Hyundai claims this may permit drivers to use abilities honed in internal-combustion vehicles to electrical driving.

Like many different sporty EVs, the Ioniq 5 N will even get its personal soundtrack to make up for an absence of engine noise. Eight inner and two exterior audio system will play a number of sounds, together with simulations of the two.0-liter turbo-4 utilized in gasoline Hyundai N fashions, the synthetic sounds from the N 2025 Imaginative and prescient Gran Turismo and RN22e ideas, and even fighter jet noises.

Along with being the primary electrical N mannequin, the Ioniq 5 N would be the first with all-wheel drive. The common Ioniq 5 tops out at 320 hp, and whereas we will count on the Ioniq 5 N to high that, Hyundai is not saying by how a lot. The Kia EV6 GT, which shares the E-GMP platform with the Ioniq 5, makes 576 hp, so there’s important scope for an influence enhance.

Hyundai hasn’t stated whether or not the Ioniq 5 N will attain the U.S., however the timing of its unveiling factors to a 2024-model-year gross sales launch if it does.
