The Ioniq 5 N is far from perfect, particularly with its $80,876 price tag, which puts it in direct competition with driver favourites like BMW’s M2 and M3.
This is not just another electric vehicle. Yes, this Hyundai initially seems like an overpriced anime-character of a car, but it is, in fact, the first hard evidence we’ve seen that the automobile’s electric future could be just as frivolous, entertaining and fun as its gas-powered past., the world does need the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. On paper, it’s simply a more powerful and more expensive version of the Ioniq 5; in reality, it’s so much more.
To that end, the 5 N has a drift mode that purposefully works to kick the rear tires lose. Not that you need it; the handling is alive and tail-happy by default in a way that no Tesla can match. Find a big empty racetrack, and you’ll burn through rubber just as quickly as you would in anything from BMW’s M division.
What’s most incredible though is how the Ioniq 5 N can be whatever you want it to be: front- or rear-wheel drive; gearbox or no gearbox; engine sound or no engine sound; driftable or planted. It’s a triumph of software, even if most of these unique features are buried in a horrible maze of sub-menus. But, make no mistake, the software couldn’t pull off these tricks without upgraded hardware.
