The Hyundai Ioniq 6 N is the Korean brand's most radical bet in the electric performance world. Based on the E-GMP platform, it combines an aerodynamic design (Cd 0.274) with a dual powertrain of 650 PS with N Grin Boost. The 770 Nm of torque is delivered instantly to all four wheels, enabling 0-100 in 3.2 seconds with N Launch Control. The 84 kWh battery offers 487 km of WLTP range, and the 350 kW ultra-fast charging allows recovering from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes. What sets the Ioniq 6 N apart from other performance EVs is its focus on driving engagement: the N e-Shift system simulates gear shifts via steering wheel paddles, while N Grin Boost provides a temporary power increase for 10 seconds. The suspension with Stroke Sensing ECS and 400 mm front brakes with 4-piston calipers ensure dynamics worthy of the best sport sedans. Drawbacks include the 2201 kg weight limiting track agility, consumption soaring during sporty driving, and the 401 liter trunk being somewhat tight for the segment.
