IONIQ 5 N 100% Electric

At Motorvogue in Bedford, Dunstable and Norwich.

Introducing IONIQ 5 N, our first all-electric N Model. Setting new benchmarks for high-performance electric vehicles and pure unfiltered driving fun.

With its new technologies and elevated racetrack capability, IONIQ 5 N represents a new segment of driver-focused, high-performance electric vehicles. Leveraging motorsport-bred technologies and years of Rolling Lab development, it is elevating the three pillars of N performance to an electrifying new level.

Performance-enhancing features

As well as extensive mechanical and software developments designed for performance driving, IONIQ 5 N’s exterior adds performance related design elements. The N model further distinguishes itself from the standard IONIQ 5 with a change of proportions. It is 20 mm lower overall, 50 mm wider at the bottom to accommodate wider tyres and 80 mm longer due to the more prominent diffuser. ​​

At the front

​In the front, the bumper features an N Mask graphic fascia with functional mesh, supported by an air curtain and active air flaps for extra cooling. A lip spoiler runs across the lower part of the bumper to emphasise the car’s lowslung stance and convey its performance intent.​

At the rear

At the rear, the prominent, wing-type N spoiler supports optimal aerodynamic performance – assisted by the rear diffuser and air outlet with their eye-catching Luminous Orange accents – further highlighting IONIQ 5 N’s high-performance capability and enhancing its aggressive styling. ​

Forged 21" aluminium wheels

The forged 21" aluminium wheels look fantastic while improving handling and traction by a reduction in unsprang weight. They are wrapped in high-grip 275/35R21 Pirelli P-Zero tyres for improved ride and handling and better grip in track performance.​​

As well as physical enhancements to the body, suspension and drivetrain, IONIQ 5 N also takes advantage of an array of sophisticated electronic control technology;

• N Pedal – an intelligent software function designed to provide instant turn-in behaviour and enhanced throttle sensitivity. Drawing on similar technology used on IONIQ 5’s i-Pedal’s regenerative braking system, N Pedal prioritizes fast and exhilarating cornering over energy efficiency. By utilizing decelerative force, an aggressive weight transfer is created, resulting in sharper corner entry.
• N Drift Optimizer – this helps to maintain drift angles by balancing multiple vehicle controls responding to real-time inputs. An integrated Torque Kick Drift function allows the driver to simulate the clutch kick action of rear-wheel-driven ICE vehicles for more immediate drift initiation.
• N Torque Distribution - 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 optimizes cornering performance and control. Additional wheel sensors and broader damping capacity with increased damper size widens the performance range of the electronically controlled suspension.

• N e-shift simulates the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission of internal combustion engine N cars, simulating gearshifts by controlling motor torque output and mimicking the jolt feeling between shifts, providing a precise, interactive driving experience that feels closer to ICEs than previous EVs. N e-shift allows the driver to control the simulated gearshifts with the steering column paddles usually used to control regenerative braking.
  
• N Active Sound+ is paired with N e-shift to enhance the driving experience of EVs by creating a more engaging and exciting sensory experience for the driver. It incorporates a 10-speaker system (eight internal, two external) that offers three distinct sound themes. The ‘Ignition’ theme simulates the sound of the i30 and KONA N’s 2.0T engines and ‘Evolution’ provides a signature high-performance sound inspired by the RN22e, the E-GMP based Rolling Lab concept. The ‘Supersonic’ theme is a unique concept inspired by twin-engine fighter jets, featuring variable volume during cornering. The objective of N Active Sound+ is to provide drivers with an acoustic reference to gauge the power being utilized

IONIQ 5 N also features several technical enhancements over the standard IONIQ 5, with a powertrain enhanced for performance in both power output, battery cooling and braking. IONIQ 5 N’s electric motors spin up to 21,000 RPM providing up to 609PS in normal conditions, or 650 PS when N Grin Boost (NGB) is engaged, maximising acceleration for up to 10 seconds. Furthering its track capabilities, IONIQ 5 N also features N Launch Control, with three different traction levels for the fastest possible start.

Performance Cockpit

IONIQ 5 N’s interior is optimised for track driving, with enhancements designed to provide both comfort, support and ease of operation. An addition of a centre console fitted with both knee pads and shin support designed to add driver bracing under hard cornering. Aside from driver support, the console also offers a sliding armrest, C-type USB and wireless charging and cupholders. New N bucket seats are finished in leather and Alcantara and have reinforced bolsters to provide lateral support during sharp cornering, whilst the seat frames are positioned 20 mm lower compared to the standard specification model. N emblems are arranged front and rear of the seat with welcome lighting at front, with the two-toned design theme of the bucket seats carried over to the rear. Additional new technology has been embedded with the Digital Centre Mirror which allows the driver to switch between a conventional mirror or a digital screen with a feed from a dedicated camera mounted under the rear spoiler for an increased horizontal rear view with a 50^o angle vs the 20^o of an optical mirror.
