The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is a real gamechanger. For electric performance cars, for electric cars in general, but especially for performance cars.

HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 N

Anyone worried that an electric future might spell the end of fun on four wheels can rest easy, because the Ioniq 5 N is a car that's huge fun to drive on road and track and also happens to be electric. No matter which way you approach it, it's a brilliant performance car.

This feels like the first EV to take all the opportunities that electric propulsion offers and put them to use to create something laughout-loud entertaining. The silent and violent acceleration thing has been done to death by now. While the Ioniq 5 N can do all that, it also offers a more layered experience with its simulated gearchanges. At the same time, it can use all its instant power and some very clever tuning - to create a brilliantly interactive chassis that entertains at road speeds or on track.
