The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N transforms the practical IONIQ 5 platform into an all electric performance machine built around acceleration, handling, and driver engagement. Its dual motor all wheel drive system delivers instant torque and up to 641 horsepower with N Grin Boost, while dedicated N technology gives drivers greater control over how the vehicle responds. Quiet electric operation and everyday cargo versatility remain part of the experience, but the reinforced chassis, performance suspension, and track focused cooling systems make this model unmistakably different from a conventional electric crossover.
The dual electric motors produce 601 horsepower in standard operation and up to 641 horsepower when N Grin Boost is activated. Instant torque creates immediate response, while the IONIQ 5 N can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 3.25 seconds. N Launch Control and specialized battery conditioning help prepare the vehicle for repeated acceleration and demanding performance driving.
The IONIQ 5 N uses electronically controlled performance dampers, a multi link rear suspension, large ventilated brakes, and 21 inch forged alloy wheels fitted with N specific Pirelli P ZERO tires. N Torque Distribution adjusts power delivery between the front and rear motors, while N e Shift simulates gear changes through steering wheel paddles for a more interactive driving experience.
The 84 kWh battery supports ultra fast charging through an 800 volt electrical architecture, while battery preconditioning helps prepare the system for charging and performance use. A native NACS port expands charging access, and five passenger seating, a smart power liftgate, and up to 59.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity preserve useful everyday flexibility.
