Hyundai Motor’s All-Electric IONIQ 5 N Unveiled at Goodwood Festival of Speed

Hyundai Motor Company’s all-electric IONIQ 5 N has made its world premiere at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The new model is the  first high-performance EV from Hyundai N, a sub-brand of high-performance cars, engines and related technologies.

IONIQ 5 N is built on the company's Electrified-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP).

Its 84 kWh capacity battery can charge from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes.

Like the standard IONIQ 5, its N variant is equipped with Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), which allows the driver to use the stored energy from the EV’s high-voltage battery to recharge devices, such as an e-bike, electrical camping equipment or domestic appliances  - even when the vehicle is turned off.

Hyundai says the IONIQ 5 N signals the first step in N’s electrification strategy with future electric N models to follow.

Jaehoon Chang, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Company, says: “Hyundai N spearheads the technological leadership of Hyundai Motor Company. N brand’s winning combination of technological know-how and motorsport experience is pushing the limits of vehicle performance, which has most recently resulted in IONIQ 5 N, a gamechanger for electric high performance. Key developments around this vehicle will further strengthen the competitiveness of all Hyundai models going forward. This is why N brand exists.”

“IONIQ 5 N, was developed to take driving fun to a new level by utilizing the latest technologies available. Starting with IONIQ 5 N, N brand aims to deliver N’s signature fun driving experience regardless of petrol, electric or hydrogen,” adds Till Wartenberg, Vice President and Head of N Brand and Motorsport at Hyundai Motor Company. “To accomplish this, we’ve closely monitored the voices of our N fans in order to fine-tune our first all-electric N with the goal of electrifying the driving passion of our most demanding N-thusiasts.”
