2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N

The Ioniq 5 N is a sporty version of the Ioniq 5 with standard all-wheel drive. It's a fully-electric hot hatch with the performance quotient cranked up to such a level that creates a vastly different driving experience. The car is blisteringly quick, and if so chosen, it emits sounds that mimic a gas car, with shift points and all. The chassis is lowered and stiffened, in turn making the car very agile in corners. The tires and brakes are upgraded so they can withstand the rigors of track driving. The tradeoff is a ride that is very taut and tense with frequent short motions. Various driving modes can alter the power distribution front and rear, the level of stability control intervention and the appearance of the displays. The EPA-estimated driving range is reduced to 221 miles instead of 290 miles on the regular AWD. The 5 N is a formidable challenge to any sports car and it's a guilt-free pleasure, not to mention offering the versatility of a hatchback. For 2026, the Ioniq 5 N received a native NACS charging port, allowing buyers to take advantage of Tesla's Supercharger charging network.

About Hyundai

From low-cost sedans to three-row EV SUVs, Hyundai has a model for almost every kind of customer. Most new Hyundai vehicles are stylish, functional, and competitively priced, but the brand overall ranks around the middle in Consumer Reports’ Reliability and Owner Satisfaction ratings. Individual models and years vary widely, with some standouts and a few laggards. The core Hyundai lineup includes low-cost subcompacts like the Elantra, and midsized sedans like the Sonata. SUVs include the subcompact Kona and compact Tucson, plus the midsize Santa Fe and larger Palisade, both of which offer three-row seating. Many models are available as hybrids or plug-in hybrids. In our testing, most Hyundai models benefit from a hybrid drivetrain, which adds power and smoothness in addition to improving fuel economy. Hyundai’s EVs are some of the best values among electric cars. The Ioniq models are high-tech, well designed, and can charge quite rapidly at public DC fast charging stations.
