Anyone can drive fast in the straights. But it’s conquering corners that sets a high-performance EV from the rest.

Mastering the EV has been the fruit of relentless dedication spanning a decade of accumulating knowledge and data focused on one thing: conquering corners. With IONIQ 5 N, we had to transcend blindly increasing power and achieve fierce and poised cornering prowess.

Our first roadblock was the weight factor. After all, EVs are heavier than combustion engines and the heavier the car, the harder it becomes for the driver in high-speed corners.

Our second challenge was bringing the cornering behavior of a WRC car to our iconic electrifying N. IONIQ 5 N is N’s first four-wheel drive EV, so we wanted to offer complete control for the driver - from the get-go.

That’s what inspired our N Torque Distribution. This cutting-edge solution empowers drivers with complete control over front and rear torque distribution, courtesy of powerful motors on each axle.

N Torque Distribution enables the customization of settings tailored to achieve peak cornering performance - regardless of the environment - to effortlessly overcome the high weight of an EV and deliver WRC-inspired handling at the touch of a button, ensuring confident cornering in all conditions.

But of course, speed is nothing if you can’t stop. And for a powerful EV this isn’t so easy. To do so, we needed to find a balance between consistent braking performance and battery degradation But it’s here that our N revolution truly began.

Our tests at the Nürburgring confirmed a consistent and surprising phenomenon: increasing the regenerative braking not only maximized braking power, but also delayed the battery degradation point.

The key lies in the vast potential of the e-GMP. Efficiently harnessing the energy generated through regenerative braking, the e-GMP continues to function intelligently in the most demanding conditions that necessitate precise vehicle control.

N Brake Regen has revolutionized regenerative braking, achieving an industry-leading deceleration force of up to 0.6G. Whether it's making a sudden stop or undergoing repeated deceleration in racing scenarios, the IONIQ 5 N maintains unwavering braking power.

And finally, we know racing is never a one-person game - that’s why we’ve transformed the infotainment system into your very own personalized racing crew.

IONIQ 5 N’s infotainment system is strategically positioned at your fingertips, sharing the most precise data at your beck and call. Rest assured, your personalized race crew is ready to ensure your IONIQ 5 N is track-ready, so you can race with confidence.

You might be wondering - what fuels our unwavering commitment to N? What drives our irresistible passion to bridge the gap between racetracks and roads with EVs? One thing remains crystal clear - it's the pure exhilaration and thrill of driving that sets our hearts racing and our adrenaline surging.

It's a symphony of sounds, a dance of pulsating vibrations. With the immediate gear shift response, it's an exhilarating rush of adrenaline that defines the essence of high-performance driving. Initially, we faced the challenge of addressing the perceived 'lack of driving emotion' in many EVs. However, our mission was crystal clear: to deliver precise driver control and foster an immersive driving experience.

After all, it’s always the movement and sound together that enhances the driving experience. That raw and shocking responsiveness that send chills down our spine? We wanted to recreate that feeling in the IONIQ 5 N.

To provide a sense of control over power delivery, we meticulously simulated a gearshift by fine-tuning motor torque output at various levels, resulting in unparalleled precision and handling.

We enhanced driving precision by adding direct torque control, elevating the overall enjoyment of the driving experience. This means you can really feel the electrifying sensation of precisely controlling the power of this 650PS EV.
