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, and a driver monitoring camera comes standard.
