The Ioniq 5 N is a fully-electric hot hatch with the performance quotient cranked up to 11.
With 601 hp from dual electric motors, the car is blisteringly quick.
But what makes the Ioniq 5 N truly unique is that it can be configured to emit sounds and effects that mimic a high-performance gas car, with a realistic engine note, upshift pops and decelerative burbling from the exhaust, paddle shifters, and even a rev limiter.
The ride height is lower and the suspension stiffer, in turn making the handling super sharp compared to the regular Ioniq 5.
The tradeoff is a taut and tense ride, although the electronically-controlled suspension keeps things livable.
The EPA-estimated driving range is reduced from 290 miles for the regular Ioniq 5 to just 221 miles for the N.
We measured 236 miles during our 70-mph highway-range test.
Quick charging times are possible at public DC fast-charging venues, thanks to the car's 235-kW max acceptance rate.
