Happy Tuesday everyone! Its a two video day and this is probably the high performance EV that surprised us the most! We got extensive time on the track and on the street and it genuinely feels like an electric hot hatch built by enthusiast, for enthusiasts. Well done to those mad scientist over at the N performance division.

@@frankcastle1578 The Macan is Porsche's mistake and shame. It used low-cost LFP batteries from China. If the Porsche Macan were to meet the ioniq 5n on the road, it would be ridiculed into tatters due to the overwhelming performance difference. Even if the Macan is sprinting at top speed, the ioniq 5n can taunt it by circling it. Looking at the ioniq 5n moving away, you can say: Hmm~ Although most of these cars have cheap batteries made in China, the emblem on the steering wheel is beautiful. Looks like it's worth $40,000.

At least with this price, there is no competitor in the world. There's no EV which can take more than two laps of Nurburgring with full sprint other than this with near stock version under 150k. But in the States, consumers must take too much markup to get this one.

Thats an impressive little hot hatch. Wow.

Holding out for the Rivian R3X but this is promising and good to see from Hyundai

Okay as an EV hater (generally speaking) this is awfully tempting. The “transmission” takes the visceral EV experience of something like BMW’s “iconic sounds” to a whole new level.

Love this thing!

That Nos "NGB" button that adds 40 hp for 10 secs is epic lol

Game changer. I said this when they first announced the ioniq 5n. Now ppl are seeing it. N to the world.

Oh man, this looks fun. I can't wait until they make a smaller hot hatch like the Kona EV in to an N version. Having a true FWD hot hatch EV would be sick. Also, it would be nice if you could adjust the power without the full gimp Eco mode. 600 HP is a little too much to actually enjoy when just driving around. If you could tune it down to 300 HP but keep the AWD and throttle response and the sound, that would be flawless.

the only car that makes me want to trade in my Model Y

As a performance enthusiast, I really like the acceleration and handling aspects, I think this car will be popular.

looks awesome!

My ionic 5 has been flawless, great car

Uk gets vision roof as an option but very limited colour range. Wireless Apple CarPlay and android auto is standard as this has upgrades similar to the facelift regular I5. Also noticed your key fob doesn’t have the remote park buttons. Car scene Korea’s review a few months ago had a key with these functions

16:53 This vehicle has wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay

Been hoping for an EV like this and Hyundai seems to have exceeded expectations. I would love the ability to emulate different drivetrains/engines complete with shifting characteristics and engine sounds. Now we just need more high powered chargers at tracks.

Wow!! What a cool EV! Do you prefer the N series over your Mach E?

Dang no heads up display? It's one of my favorite features of the 2024 Ioniq5.

Remember it's not 601 to the crank it's 601 to the wheels at all times. It's absolutely insane. How much money or mods you have to pay to get to that whp numbers

Honestly no different than playing video games. We enjoy all the car noises going on in a video game so getting some simulated shifts and sounds in the real world is still very fun.

Did they upragde the brake fluid on the tester before the track event?

Omg. Nvr seen u genuinely suprised and happy

I currently have an EV6 GT. This is nice but it has too many sacrifices to be a daily for me. I knew this a couple of months ago prior to getting my GT. As much as I like how it looks like inside (now) and outside I didn't want to wait for it as the GT has several things that I like over it. I wanted an opening sunroof and was surprised today that it doesn't have a HUD either which I use everyday. I do appreciate that they were able to retain the vent seats though. I just wish there were buttons for them instead of going through the screen. This seems to be a cross between the old gen and the new gen coming out. I would actually be more interested in the N-line instead. I didn't want to track my car so I knew the 5 N was not for me. This is a great car if you want to track it tho but to me the sound would get old quick. Whoever gets this car enjoy it! It's just not for me and I'm fine with that. Call me old hehe. 😊
