Hyundai Motor UK has opened order books for the all-new IONIQ 6 N, a high-performance electric vehicle designed to thrill enthusiasts and redefine what an EV can deliver on both road and track. Building on the success of the IONIQ 5 N, the latest N model blends cutting-edge technology with precision engineering to create a driving experience that is immersive, exhilarating, and unmistakably N.
Engineering Precision for Maximum Control
The IONIQ 6 N is built around Hyundai N’s three-pillar philosophy: Corner Rascal, Racetrack Capability, and Everyday Sportscar. This guiding principle is evident in every component, from the re-engineered chassis to the advanced suspension geometry. The car’s stroke-sensing Electronically Controlled Suspension (ECS) dampers and lowered roll centre work in harmony to enhance grip, stability, and responsiveness on winding roads and high-speed circuits. New bushing applications balance sharp handling with refined comfort, ensuring drivers experience both precision and composure in equal measure.
Complementing the chassis enhancements, an electronic limited slip differential (e-LSD) actively manages wheel torque, boosting traction and performance. Upgrades to axle stiffness, steering precision, and mount damping further reduce vibration while enhancing ride comfort, giving drivers confidence whether cornering at speed or cruising through urban streets.
Performance That Excites
At the heart of the IONIQ 6 N lies an advanced power electronics system optimized for the E-GMP platform. The front high-output drive system works seamlessly with the rear motor, the primary traction unit, to deliver 650 PS and 770 Nm of torque, propelling the vehicle from 0-62 mph in just 3.2 seconds with N Launch Control. The top speed reaches 160 mph, proving that electrification does not compromise thrill.
Enhancements to the N e-Shift system include shorter gear ratios, while the refined N Active Sound+ system immerses drivers in a carefully tuned acoustic experience. Fully customisable N drive functions, accessible via dedicated steering wheel buttons, allow enthusiasts to tailor the car’s behaviour to their preferences, putting control firmly in the driver’s hands.
Aggressive Styling Meets Aerodynamic Efficiency
Visually, the IONIQ 6 N draws inspiration from the IONIQ 6 and the forthcoming IONIQ 6 N Line. Widened front and rear fenders, 5-spoke 20” alloy wheels, and a high-performance rear wing emphasize its track-ready persona while improving high-speed stability. The aerodynamic body contributes to efficient performance, reflecting Hyundai’s commitment to blending style with function.
Driver-Centric Interior
Inside, the cabin is designed for high-performance driving without sacrificing comfort. Bucket seats upholstered in Alcantara and genuine leather provide lateral support during spirited cornering, while N-exclusive metal pedals and a knee support pad enhance control and ergonomics. Premium touches, including N logo welcome lighting and the latest Hyundai CCnC infotainment system, create an environment that feels both connected and performance-oriented, blending motorsport DNA with everyday usability.
Available Options and Pricing
The IONIQ 6 N will be available in the UK as a single specification from £65,800, with a choice of six exterior colours and the optional tilt-and-slide Vision Roof. Available paints include Performance Blue Pearl, Abyss Black Pearl, Gravity Gold Matte, Nocturne Grey Metallic, Nocturne Grey Matte, and Serenity White Pearl.
Ashley Andrew, President of Hyundai & Genesis UK, commented: “The IONIQ 5 N revolutionised the world of performance cars, proving that an electric car could still raise the pulse of a driving enthusiast. IONIQ 6 N delivers even more to the enthusiast driver; all the benefits of the 5 N’s high-performance E-GMP base, a suspension set up that produces both a different character, all encapsulated in the aerodynamic IONIQ 6’s electrified streamliner shape.”
With the IONIQ 6 N, Hyundai sets a new benchmark for high-performance EVs in the UK, offering an electrifying blend of power, precision, and personality that appeals to drivers seeking both everyday usability and racetrack excitement.
