Hyundai is wrapping up testing of the Ioniq 5 N forward of a deliberate debut on the 2023 Goodwood Competition of Pace on July 13.
The N efficiency sub-brand’s first all-electric mannequin has been in its last monitor testing section on the Nürburgring Nordschleife forward of its public debut, Hyundai mentioned Friday in a press launch.
One space engineers are specializing in is warmth administration. The Ioniq 5 will get extra sturdy cooling {hardware}, together with a model-specific radiator and motor-oil cooler, in addition to a battery chiller. The {hardware} is accompanied by battery preconditioning software program with “Drag” and “Observe” modes designed for extracting most energy over a brief dash and conserving the battery cool over a sequence of laps, respectively.

An N Race function may also enable drivers to regulate power utilization. “Dash” mode is the default, giving the driving force most energy. “Endurance” is designed to maximise vary for longer monitor periods, which it does by limiting sudden energy spikes that may trigger warmth to construct up within the battery, in keeping with Hyundai.
Engineers additionally revamped the regenerative braking system to permit for as much as 0.6 g of deceleration, which Hyundai claims is an industry-leading determine. Regeneration additionally happens whereas ABS is engaged, at as much as 0.2 g. Hyundai guarantees some upgrades to the hydraulic brakes as nicely, together with going with bigger 15.7-inch rotors.
To make drivers really feel extra concerned, the Ioniq 5 N additionally has a function known as N e-Shift, which simulates gear shifts utilizing motor torque. Hyundai claims this can enable drivers to use abilities honed in internal-combustion vehicles to electrical driving.

Like many different sporty EVs, the Ioniq 5 N may also get its personal soundtrack to make up for a scarcity of engine noise. Eight inner and two exterior audio system will play a number of sounds, together with simulations of the two.0-liter turbo-4 utilized in gasoline Hyundai N fashions, the factitious sounds from the N 2025 Imaginative and prescient Gran Turismo and RN22e ideas, and even fighter jet noises.
Along with being the primary electrical N mannequin, the Ioniq 5 N would be the first with all-wheel drive. The common Ioniq 5 tops out at 320 hp, and whereas we are able to anticipate the Ioniq 5 N to prime that, Hyundai is not saying by how a lot. The Kia EV6 GT, which shares the E-GMP platform with the Ioniq 5, makes 576 hp, so there’s vital scope for an influence improve.
Hyundai hasn’t mentioned whether or not the Ioniq 5 N will attain the U.S., however the timing of its unveiling factors to a 2024-model-year gross sales launch if it does.
