What is it?
The Ioniq 5 N is Hyundai N Division's first ground-up electric performance car. It pairs the 800V E-GMP architecture with a 84 kWh NCM battery and two motors making 448 kW continuous or 478 kW under N Grin Boost. Simulated 8-speed N e-Shift, Track SOC pre-conditioning, N Drift Optimiser, and a Nurburgring-honed chassis sitting 20 mm lower than a regular Ioniq 5.
Single grade on offer in Australia. Warranty cover sits at 5 years, unlimited km.
Interior and Technology
478 kW peak with N Grin Boost, 3.4-second 0 to 100, 800V architecture with 350 kW DC charging, and Track SOC pre-conditioning for back-to-back lap sessions.
$111,000 plus on-roads puts it above the BMW M3 and i4 M50. The 2,200 kg kerb weight and 21-inch Pirelli P Zero tyres are unavoidable costs.
Should you buy the Ioniq 5 N?
Reasons to buy
- 478 kW peak with N Grin Boost, 3.4-second 0 to 100, 800V architecture with 350 kW DC charging, and Track SOC pre-conditioning for back-to-back lap sessions.
- Warranty: 5 years, unlimited km. Battery: 8 years, 160,000 km.
- 5-star ANCAP (2021), full driver-assist suite.
- 480 L (1,540 L seats down) boot, segment-competitive cargo space.
Reasons to wait
- $111,000 plus on-roads puts it above the BMW M3 and i4 M50. The 2,200 kg kerb weight and 21-inch Pirelli P Zero tyres are unavoidable costs.
- You want more range (BMW i5 eDrive40 at 582 km), a lower price (Tesla Model 3 Performance at $80,900), or a more traditional petrol M-car feel.
- Range drops well below 448 km WLTP under hard driving. Confirm 800V charger access on your regular routes, the slower 50 to 150 kW DC chargers waste the architecture.
- Top trim climbs to $111,000 plus on-roads.
