![]() ![]() ![]() The Ioniq 5 N's driving range is still TBD and Hyundai isn't offering any ballpark estimates. Hit the "NGB" button on the steering wheel – shorthand for N Grin Boost – and output is increased to 641 hp for brief moments, allowing the Ioniq 5 N to accelerate to 60 mph in an estimated 3.3 seconds. The Ioniq 5 N uses a new 84-kilowatt-hour battery pack (versus the standard car’s 77.4) and pair of electric motors that churn out a combined 601 horsepower and 545 pound-feet of torque. The N-specific changes start with – what else? – more power. That’s despite the fact that this is not a hot hatch, but a compact crossover the size of a Tucson that tips the scales at 2.2 tons – enough to make Biermann call it the “literal elephant in the room.” It’s an ethos that’s served the Hyundai N lineup well, and a spirit that I’m happy to report is very much alive in the company’s first electric rowdy boi: the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Borderline unhinged and raucous in the best way, Hyundai’s N cars might not be the sharpest or most sophisticated pocket rockets, but sweet saltwater taffy, they’re a whale of a time. YEONGAM, South Korea - Former Hyundai R&D boss Albert Biermann once told me that the company’s N cars should be “a little crazy.” And if you’ve ever driven the Elantra N, Kona N or Veloster N (RIP), you know exactly what he means. 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N First Drive: Electric wild child is crazy in all the right ways 641 hp, 3.3 seconds to 60, a whole lotta fun ![]()
