The Ioniq 5 N does a stunning job of disguising its heft, and the electronic wizardry includes an ‘N Torque Distribution’ system with 11 settings that allow drivers to adjust the power balance between the axles. There’s also an ‘N Pedal’ set-up that offers very aggressive brake regeneration before corners for incredibly sharp turn-in.
One of the Ioniq 5 N’s more novel features is called N e-shift, with the system adjusting the car’s torque output to deliver a small jolt and give the impression of gear changes in an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The car also provides a synthesised soundtrack, meant to replicate the exhaust note of a petrol hot hatch, and everything works together to give this car a real personality and make you forget you’re driving an EV.
Of course, it looks very aggressive. But while the interior features some excellent sports seats, plus great tech including dual 12.3-inch displays with bespoke N graphics and performance data, the Ioniq 5 N is a practical family car too, with a 480-litre boot and a 278-mile range.
