Hyundai's Ioniq 5 N is a fresh new approach to electric performance vehicles. The car is packed with customizable features so the driver can configure the vehicle to their exact preferences. We'll deep dive into ten of these features, summarized below:
1. N Pedal - Developed as a solution to overcome the inherent weight and size of EVs, N Pedal was designed for instant turn-in behavior and enhanced throttle sensitivity, increasing the regenerative force to create a dynamic weight transfer that helps to sharpen corner entry.
2. N Torque Distribution - adjusts the front and rear drive ratio, providing fully variable torque distribution that can be adjusted for eleven levels.
3. N Drift Optimizer (w/ Torque Kick Drift) - helps to maintain the drift angle by balancing multiple vehicle controls. The integrated Torque Kick Drift function allows the driver to simulate the clutch kick action of rear-wheel-drive ICE vehicles for driving scenarios that require more immediate drift initiation.
4. N Grin Boost (NGB) - delivers an instant thrust from IONIQ 5 N’s dual motors by increasing the power output and torque for ten seconds
5. N Launch Control - provides maximum traction for the fastest possible start, allowing the driver to launch their vehicle like a professional race car
6. N Race - utilizes a motorsport-derived philosophy that optimizes resources for the best track experience.
7. N Battery Preconditioning - optimizes the temperature of the battery cells to be as efficient as possible.
8. N e-Shift simulates the behavior of the eight-speed dual-clutch N DCT of ICE N models by controlling the motor's torque output and power and simulating the jolt feeling between shifts. It provides the push feel of a DCT transmission and various levels of simulated engine braking using regeneration. The purpose is to increase driving fun, provide a more interactive driving experience, and deliver the same emotions of an ICE on a racetrack or a windy road.
9. N Active Sound+ - produces three sounds – ‘Ignition’, an ICE N engine and exhaust sound, and two futuristic EV sounds, including ‘Supersonic’, inspired by fighter jets – through eight internal speakers and two external speakers. Drivers can even rev the “engine” when N e-Shift is activated and transmission is in park or neutral.
10. N Road Sense - automatically recommends that the driver activate N Mode when double-curved road signs are detected. This lets the driver enjoy even more driving fun.
Honorable mention: e-LSD - The electronic Limited Slip Differential (e-LSD) controls the amount of torque sent to the rear wheels, enhances handling performance when turning at high speeds, and improves wheel-slip compensation. This is a real, mechanical differential with e-hydraulic locking action for the rear motor!

That rev limiter sounds like playing a NFS game from 25 years ago.
-
Does it blow a fuse if you money shift it?
-
All of that being optional is the real game changer here. Play if you like or don't, whatever you like to do today. Feels like freedom compared to other cars.

I work at a Hyundai dealer/garage. We just got one of these in white in. Charged it overnight and took it out and my god I never thought I’d love an EV so much. They really put A LOT of enthusiast type features in mind. The fact alone the shifts are so hard and fast slamming you with torque each gear. The engine sound is a little computerized but I’m sure down the line there will be updates. It has a “supersonic” sound mode that gives you a warp drive type buildup and to my surprise a loud explosion boom in each shift. Was cruising at 45 in 3rd switched to supersonic sound wound out 3rd going to 4th around 70-80mph on a back road and then hear this BANG. My heart dropped thinking I broke something haha. The things a blast to drive. Handles wayy better than you’d think. Definitely feels heavy but can put it where you want. Just a shame they’re going for over $70,000..

It's a real life video game car. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
-
They need to build a special version for the fast and furious movies, with 16 “gears”
-
The moment you bring your electric car to the garage because you suspect it to have an exhaust leak...
-
Rarely do you see people as excited as this throughout a whole video. This alone makes me want to drive this car.
-
More like N-gineering Explained amirite?
-
Regardless of its tech, it's clear the engineers had lots of fun with this. That's the most important thing
-
As a stick shift ICE guy who can’t help the smile on his face watching and hearing all the sounds from the car, I think they got something right.
-
This might just be the greatest EV ever made. Everything that we've been screaming for EVs has been done and done well. Not just things like gears, but a greater flexibility of driving modes, more entertainment features, things that ice cars have had forever. Excited to see the change this car will effect over the industry
-
They should partner with Ange The Great, and put his full engine simulator in there so you could swap out different n-gines. I'd definitely drive in 2 stroke Husqvarna mode to get groceries.

This feels like the best gaming setup you could ever have. It can even go to the supermarket!

My brother-in-law works for Hyundai. Core of the engineers for this project are around my age or younger. That means we grew up playing video games and Grand Tourismo. Electric cars allow from programming to simulate what we grew up playing...but in a real car...on the road, not inside a screen. I've been saying it since this was available in my market since last year. While other car manufacturers brag about augmented reality for their navigation system (my company car the Genesis GV80 has a real nice fluid augmented reality navigation system BTW) Hyundai built a video game that you actually drive on the road. *The sound from the Evolution mode is directly from an experimental car from Hyundai that exists in the Gran Turismo game. So again, the game reference.

So Impressed by Hyundai in the past 10 years! It feels like they are leading the pack right now for PHEV and EV vehicles in features and quality.
-
Needs a sound mode with a kid saying, "vroom vroom."
-
Love it, hate it or anything in between, you have to commend Hyundai for trying to make EVs better for us enthusiasts
-
Custom sound maps that could be uploaded by whoever and a community page to be able to upload and download them, along with maybe a tool for creating them would be SICK

Fun fact: you can book a passenger ride in this car at the Nürburgring with Hyundai N Taxi! It's even the cheapest option out of all the companies that offer "taxi" rides there.
