Performance-enhancing design elements

IONIQ 5 N’s exterior adds many performance-enhancing design elements, such as contrasting black trim parts and a wing-type rear spoiler, which emphasise the sporty aspects of the standard model and maximise its circuit driving potential.

21-inch forged aluminium wheels

Forged 21-inch aluminum wheels are wrapped in high-grip 275/35 R21 Pirelli P-Zero tyres for improved ride and handling and better grip in track performance.

Track-ready front-end

At the front, there is functional mesh along with air curtain and air flaps for extra cooling. A lip spoiler runs across the lower part of the bumper to emphasise its performance intent. The EV N-exclusive ‘Luminous Orange’ at the bottom of the black front bumper cover continues along the side skirts, giving the IONIQ 5 N a racetrack-ready look.

Newly designed rear-end

At the rear, the prominent, N-only wing-type spoiler, along with orange-accented rear diffuser and air outlet, help control airflow to support optimal aerodynamic performance, further highlighting IONIQ 5 N’s high-performance capability and adding to its aggressive styling. Integrated in the spoiler is a triangular N-only high-mounted brake light. Below the rear hatch is an N-exclusive black bumper cover with checker flag reflector graphics. 

Performance inspired interior

IONIQ 5 N’s interior conveys the N family look with the application of N-branded elements, including the steering wheel, seats, door scuff panels and metal pedals and is optimised for track driving. 

Cornor rascal

IONIQ 5 N with rally-inspired handling supports corner rascal capabilities. Beginning with structural enhancements and reinforcements right down to World Rally Championship-inspired drive axles. IONIQ 5 N is built for speed while instilling greater confidence in drivers.

N Pedal

N Pedal was developed as a solution to address the inherent weight and size of EVs while aiming to acheive WRC cornering qualities. N Pedal prioritises fast and exhilarating cornering by utilising decelerative force and aggressive weight transfer resulting in sharper corner entry.

N Drift Optimiser

N Drift Optimiser helps to maintain the drift angle by balancing multiple vehicle controls responding to real-time inputs. The integrated torque kick function simulates a clutch kick resulting in an immediate drift initiation.

N Torque Distribution

N Torque Distribution provides fully variable front and rear torque distribution that can be adjusted to 11 levels. The e-LSD (electronic Limited Slip Differential) at the rear axle optimises cornering performance and control.

Racetrack capability

Experience race track capability like no other with IONIQ 5 N. This high-performance electric vehicle is purpose-built to excel on the racetrack. With dual electric motors that spin up to 21,000 RPM providing 478 kW with N Grin Boost engaged, it’ll have you grinning from beginning to end.

Battery and thermal management

IONIQ 5 N sets a new benchmark for thermal management in severe racetrack conditions. Compared to its competitors, IONIQ 5 N boasts a higher resistance to heat induced power degradation — loss of  maximum power due to overheating. This is achieved through the enhanced battery thermal management system, with increased cooling area, better motor oil cooler and battery chiller. 

N-Race and N-Tuned brakes

With N-Race, drivers are given the strategic choice to prioritize ‘Endurance’ or ‘Sprint’. ‘Endurance’ maximizes range on the racetrack while ‘Sprint’ prioritises power. IONIQ 5 N boasts Hyundai’s most powerful braking system ever, utilising 400mm (F) & 360mm (R) discs in combination with N Brake Regen. The seamless blending between the N Brake Regen and hydraulic brakes creates a smooth transition that is imperceptible to the driver. Moreover, left foot braking allows the brake and accelerator pedal to work at the same time when driving on the track.
