Hyundai’s first electrical efficiency mannequin, the 2024 Ioniq 5 N, made its debut on Wednesday on the Goodwood Pageant of Pace. Whereas it has as much as 641 hp, the Ioniq 5 N is supposed to carry out round corners and on a observe, in addition to in a straight line.

Based mostly on the customary Ioniq 5 electrical crossover, the Ioniq 5 N has extra energy, an even bigger battery, a stiffer physique, bigger brakes, a sportier suspension, and a load of expertise options aimed toward efficiency.

It begins with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system with a 166-kw motor up entrance and a 282-kw motor on the rear that mix to make 600 hp and 546 lb-ft of torque more often than not, or 641 hp and 568 lb-ft utilizing the N Grin Enhance operate out there for 10-second blasts. Hyundai says the automotive can speed up from 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds utilizing launch management (which is adjustable by three ranges of traction) and attain a prime velocity of 162 mph.

The motors are fed by an 84-kwh battery pack that is larger than the usual Ioniq 5’s 77.4-kwh long-range battery. The battery has extra cooling, and Hyundai even optimizes the temperature for the out there drive modes earlier than driving. For instance, in Drag mode, the battery shall be preconditioned to 86-104 levels Fahrenheit, and in Observe mode it is going to be 68-86 levels. An N Race mode has Endurance and Dash settings to optimize battery output for the lengthy or brief periods.

Like the usual Ioniq 5, the N has an 800-volt electrical structure that may settle for a cost charge as much as 350 kw, which is able to cost it from 10-80% in 18 minutes.

The Ioniq 5 N has no transmission, however Hyundai will make it really feel prefer it has an 8-speed dual-clutch computerized by an N e-shift operate that controls motor torque to simulate the jolt between shifts.

It has no cylinders both, however it could additionally sound prefer it’s powered by an inner combustion engine.

A system referred to as N Energetic Sound+ makes use of eight inside and two exterior audio system to play three completely different sound themes. The Ignition theme sounds just like the rowdy 2.0-liter turbo-4 in different Hyundai N automobiles, together with the pops and bangs on overrun. Supersonic is certainly one of two futuristic EV themes and is impressed by twin-engine fighter jets. The soundscapes range the sound primarily based on throttle place.

On the surface, the Ioniq 5 N sits 0.8 inch decrease and its fenders unfold out 2.0 inches wider. It is also 3.2 inches longer because of the brand new entrance bumper and a rear diffuser that is joined by a rear wing. Up entrance, it has an air curtain, three lively air flaps, a lip spoiler, and extra grille mesh for added cooling. A Luminous Orange Matte strip runs alongside the underside of the bumpers and facet skirts.

The dealing with enhancements begin with the construction, which relies on the model’s Electrical-World Modular Platform. Hyundai provides 42 extra welding factors and 6.9 toes of extra bonding materials. The motor and battery mounting factors and entrance and rear subframes are bolstered, and bigger adjustable dampers and stiffer knuckles are used. The steering column can also be bolstered, and the ratio is faster for extra speedy responses. The automotive has a wider observe than different Ioniq 5s to suit broad 275/35 Pirelli P Zero tires on 21-inch wheels.

Hyundai additionally makes use of the electrical motors to enhance dealing with. A cornering operate referred to as N Pedal applies damaging torque by the powertrain to place extra weight over the entrance wheels. An N Torque Distribution system can modify energy supply by 11 ranges entrance to rear and an digital limited-slip rear differential optimizes energy on the rear for nook exit. Hyundai additionally provides an N Drift Optimizer to regulate energy supply for superb drifts, and it even has a simulated clutch kick operate.

Braking is dealt with not solely by 15.7-inch entrance discs with 4-piston calipers and 14.2-inch rear discs with single-piston calipers but additionally by the motors’ brake regeneration functionality. The regen can present as much as 0.6 g of braking power, and Hyundai says regen offers 80-90% of the braking on the road and 40-50% on a observe, which precludes the necessity for carbon-ceramic brakes. The corporate additionally says as much as 44% of the powertrain power will be recuperated on the observe, and the brake and throttle can be utilized on the similar time.

In all, the Ioniq 5 N weighs greater than different 5s as a consequence of its extra efficiency gear, however Hyundai says it did as a lot as potential to restrict the load enhance. The corporate did not present a curb weight, although.

Inside, the Ioniq 5 N options steel pedals, knee pads on the edges of the middle console, a brand new N steering wheel with 4 mode buttons, and two-tone sport seats with bolstered bolsters. The seats, which can be found with leather-based and Alcantara or material and leather-based, sit 0.8 inch decrease than in different Ioniq 5s. Additionally inside are a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster joined with a 12.3-inch heart touchscreen, and each supply particular N readouts and over-the-air replace functionality.

Costs and electrical driving vary shall be introduced nearer to launch, which is anticipated late this 12 months.
