Hyundai has unleashed its second all-electric performance model under the N division—the Ioniq 6 N—and the stage for its global debut couldn’t be more iconic: the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Following the wild Ioniq 5 N, this new electric sedan amps up both performance and engagement.
Built for serious driving enthusiasts, the Ioniq 6 N isn’t just about straight-line speed—it’s engineered to reconnect the driver with the machine using a smart blend of power, tech, and emotion.
Power
Under the skin, the Ioniq 6 N packs a serious punch. It’s powered by dual electric motors that push out a staggering 650 PS and 770 Nm of torque. With Launch Control activated, it rockets from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.2 seconds and can max out at 257 kmph. That’s proper sports car territory—and all without a drop of fuel.
To handle all that power, Hyundai has completely overhauled the chassis setup. There’s a new suspension geometry, stroke-sensitive dampers, and a lower roll center, all of which contribute to sharper grip and better stability in corners—especially when driven hard on the track.
Battery
The Ioniq 6 N also introduces the N Battery, Hyundai’s specially engineered thermal management system. It’s built to withstand intense track driving.
From better cooling hardware to faster conditioning and smarter energy flow, everything is tuned to avoid overheating and ensure consistent performance lap after lap.
Features
Hyundai didn’t stop at mechanical tweaks. They’ve layered in some wild software too. The N e-Shift simulates gear shifts, mimicking the feel of a traditional performance car—even though it’s fully electric.
That means you’ll feel like you’re rowing through gears again, with full integration into systems like Launch Control, Torque Distribution, and the wickedly fun Drift Optimizer.
Then there’s N Active Sound+, Hyundai’s custom audio suite that lets you choose between sci-fi spaceship vibes or a more raw, mechanical tone.
This sound setup works with the Ambient Shift Light, a lighting strip inside the cabin that tells you when to “shift,” making the experience feel ultra-interactive.
Track nerds will love the N Track Manager. It lets you build circuits, log lap times, and even use ghost mode to compare your current run to a previous one. It’s like Gran Turismo, but in real life.
Design
If you thought the standard Ioniq 6 looked slick, the N version cranks the aggression to 11. A swan-neck rear spoiler, flared arches, and a lowered stance help boost aero and turn heads.
And that new color? Performance Blue Pearl. It’s an evolved version of Hyundai’s N blue, now with metallic shimmer for more visual punch.
Platform
Like its sibling, the Ioniq 6 N rides on Hyundai’s E-GMP platform, which is built from the ground up for high-performance EVs. It’s rigid, balanced, and designed to handle both brutal acceleration and demanding corners.
Everything about the car screams driving focus—something the N division has been pushing hard for in the electric age.
Experience
What makes the Ioniq 6 N truly exciting is how it bridges digital and physical engagement.
From simulated shifts to tailored sounds, and from adaptive suspension to track-tuned data tools—it’s a sensory thrill ride aimed at people who actually love driving.
Back at Goodwood, Hyundai made it a full-blown celebration. Their paddock space includes N-branded machines from rally cars to production beasts, and an interactive pavilion gives fans access to exclusive merch and a private grandstand.
And yes, the Ioniq 6 N will also offer N performance parts as optional extras.
