The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is helping electric cars catch the eyes of thrill seekers. As the first vehicle in the brand’s high-performance N series to go fully electric, the IONIQ 5 N has been a resounding success, even winning Car and Driver’s 2024 EV of the Year award. Let’s take a closer look at why people love this exhilarating and emissionless EV.

1. Impressive Power and Performance

The fact that the IONIQ 5 N is an electric vehicle does not mean that Hyundai has compromised on its performance. At its core is a potent powertrain capable of delivering 601 horsepower, and that is before the N Grin Boost feature is engaged. This feature provides a 10-second burst of boosted acceleration, allowing the car to achieve up to 641 horsepower. This provides truly race-worthy acceleration, launching from 0-60 mph in just 3.25 seconds.

2. Convenient Charging and Battery Life

The 2025 5 N balances performance with convenience. While it is capable of great power, this does not mean you will be constantly charging it. The 84 kWh battery pack can last up to 221 miles on a full charge, according to EPA estimates. The car also supports ultra-fast charging of up to 800V, meaning it takes as little as 18 minutes to take the battery from 10% charged to 80% at a DC Fast Charging station.

3. Comfortable Interior and Advanced Technology

The cabin of the IONIQ 5 N is simple and sporty but still comfortable thanks to the suede-like Alcantara upholstery. This is topped off with Hyundai’s H-Tex leatherette to create an inviting interior that feels high end. The ability to heat and ventilate the front seats further adds to this. The car is not short on technology, either. Beyond the 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment center, traffic information, wireless charging, and dynamic voice recognition capabilities are included as standard.

4. Sophisticated Safety and Assistance Features

The 5 N comes with the SmartSense suite, which contains a wealth of modern safety and driver-assistance features that work seamlessly together to keep the vehicle’s occupants safe. These include blind-spot monitoring, forward collision-avoidance, and lane-keeping assist features. The car also contains navigation-based smart cruise control. This is not only able to stop and go automatically, but it can set the cruising speed based on the speed limit of the road you are driving on.

5. Stylish Exterior

The 2025 IONIQ 5 N has an aerodynamic profile that looks modern and fresh while also contributing to the car’s efficiency. Active grille shutters and air flaps also help with this, while features such as the LED daytime running lights help improve visibility and safety.
