IONIQ 6 N REVEALED AS 'MORE PRECISE' 5 N SIBLING

'Sharp and controllable' electric sports saloon is due later this year

The Hyundai N division's second electric performance car, the 641bhp Ioniq 6 N, will arrive this autumn as a sharper, keener and "more sophisticated and predictable" followup to the lauded Ioniq 5 N. Speaking to Autocar, N founder and vice-president Joon Park said the new 6 N will take advantage of its lower saloon silhouette to be a different proposition from its smaller sibling, with which it shares a powertrain.

"We want a different type of driving experience between the two," he said. "The 5 N is a bit wilder, the 6 N is more precise."

Every new design element on the 6 N, which is based on the latest facelifted Ioniq 6 but with wider wheel arches to cover a 60mm increase in track width front and rear, "serves a purpose", according to N's chief designer, Eduardo Ramírez.
