What to Expect from the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N

As spring turns to summer, it’s almost time for our favorite part of the year – new model season! Summer is when we start to see glimpses of all the new Hyundai models dropping later in the year. For 2024, we’re excited about the unveiling of Hyundai’s latest: the 2025 IONIQ 5 N.

The first IONIQ 5 dropped way back in 2021 as Hyundai’s first vehicle to be released under their IONIQ sub-brand. Since then, Hyundai has improved upon the original IONIQ concept with new trims and capabilities. Hyundai calls this version its “high-performance IONIQ,” and once we dive into the specs, it’s not hard to see why.

So, without further ado, let’s check out the compact crossover SUV built for performance: the IONIQ 5 N!

IONIQ’s Iconic Design

The IONIQ 5 can best be described as a compact crossover SUV. It combines the versatility of a crossover SUV with the compact size of a smaller vehicle, so you get the best of both worlds. The IONIQ 5 N sits closer to the ground, giving it a sporty, fast visual appeal. If you look near the front, you will notice a lip spoiler on the lower bumper, which only enhances the car’s lower stance. The car features clean lines, minimalistic structures, and high-performance design elements throughout.

The wing-type rear spoiler supports optimal aerodynamic performance and enhances the vehicle’s sporty appearance. Because this is an EV, the front of the vehicle is free from the necessity of a radiator grille. It does, however, feature an additional air flap for extra cooling. The front features an N Mask graphic fascia with functional mesh for a splash of stylish appeal. 

On the side of the vehicle, a Luminous Orange accent line adds a burst of color and is exclusive to the N model IONIQ 5’s.

Electric Powerhouse

Since this is the IONIQ 5 N’s first iteration as an EV, we can’t leave out the details on the vehicle’s electric capabilities. Powered by an 84 kWh, 697-volt lithium-ion battery, the IONIQ 5 N can travel up to 221 miles on a full charge, which translates to an MPGe combined rate of 72 miles.

If you have a Level 2 at-home Charging station, the IONIQ 5 N can go from 10% – 100% battery in a little over 7 hours. However, with 800V DC Fast Charging, the car’s battery can go from 10% – 80% in as little as 18 minutes! That means you’re back on the road and tearing up the streets in less time than it takes to order dinner at your favorite restaurant.

Groundbreaking Technology

The IONIQ 5 N builds upon the technology with the comfort and convenience of the technology inside. The Hyundai Digital Key 2 is the key to unlocking your doors and starting your vehicle without needing a physical key! You can even share your keys with your friends and family by sending them a Digital Key through a standard text message.

If you’ve ever wanted to start your car remotely to get it warmed up, you’ve got to check out Bluelink. It’s Hyundai’s exclusive app for remotely scheduling, starting/stopping charging, locking and unlocking doors, activating your climate control, and more. And it’s all conveniently available from a smartphone app. Bluelink just got even better. Bluelink+ has the same benefits as Bluelink but with no monthly fees.

We haven’t even gotten to the safety features, powered by Hyundai SmartSense. Here are just a few of the SmartSense safety features available on the IONIQ 5 N.

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist Enhancements
• Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go
• Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control & Curve Control
• Driver Attention Warning
• Lane Keeping Assist
• Lane Following Assist
• Blind-Spot View Monitor
• Surround View Monitor
• Safe Exit Assist

High Performance

Okay, so let’s talk about the high performance of the IONIQ 5 N. It starts with the powerful 641 horsepower max output, powered by the 478 kW electric motor. This combo allows the car to go from 0-60 mph in 3.25 seconds! This kind of speed and power is made possible by two unique features of the IONIQ 5 N: N Launch Control and N Grin Boost.

N Launch Control optimizes your start response time at the push of a button, allowing rapid acceleration with pre-torque. Three different road grip levels – low, medium, and high – activate based on road conditions to give you optimal performance.

N Grin Boost is the second key to the performance puzzle. It’s a crazy-fast acceleration booster that only requires a 10-second rest time between uses. Accelerate your IONIQ 5 N to 650 PS with N Grin Boost and smoke the competition on the racetrack! It can reach a top speed of 162 mph with N Grin Boost engaged.

If drifting is your thing, the IONIQ 5 N has you covered there, too. It has rally-inspired AWD cornering to help you conquer the toughest curves. N Torque Distribution customizes torque distribution to the front and rear wheels, while N Pedal gives you higher agility through aggressive weight transfer to the pedals. It also comes standard with an Electronic limited-slip rear differential (or e-LSD) to help you hit every corner like a pro. And with N Drift Optimizer, you get intelligent drift assistance that replicas clutch kick action in rear-wheel drive scenarios. It’s built for maximum fun!

Starting at $66,100, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is a performance beast packed into an economical and environmentally friendly EV body. There’s a reason it won a 2024 World Performance Car Award!
