Upcoming Ioniq 5 N will be 'the true driving enthusiast's choice', Hyundai says. Here's why
such a laugh. In Hyundai’s own words, the NDO ‘integrates front and rear torque distribution, torque rate, suspension stiffness, steering effort and the e-LSD system to create a driving mode dedicated for drifting.’ Probably not the sort of thing to encourage on the public highway, but a little squiggle here and there never hurt anybody.
The Ioniq 5 is also going to be equipped with something called N Torque Distribution, which works with the e-LSD and the drive modes to give really distinct splits to each axle - presumably each wheel - depending on the setting. ‘N Torque Distribution and e-LSD work together to distribute power to all four wheels in varying ratios and are specifically designed to quickly respond to the instantaneous and seamless power delivery inherent in EVs’, says Hyundai.
Hyundai is showing all this tech off in a little video with its i20 N WRC Rally 1 car, Ioniq and i20 skidding side by side in the Swedish snow. Which, again, has no relevance at all to the real world - but is quite fun. This is Hyundai N’s first all-wheel drive car, as well as it’s first EV, showing just how far it’s come since the division was only created in 2015.
“Just as our N models are honed at the sharp corners of the Nürburgring, our N models are also honed at the sharp corners and icy surfaces of our proving ground in Arjeplog, ensuring maximum performance in the most extreme winter conditions,” said Till Wartenberg, vice president of N Brand Management & Motorsport. “We’re proud to demonstrate the Ioniq 5 N perfectly meets our broad performance criteria, ensuring N Brand success as our first EV production N model.
