Hyundai IONIQ 6 N Unveiled: High-Performance EV Makes Global Debut at Goodwood

The Hyundai IONIQ 6 N has officially been revealed to the world at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, marking a bold new chapter in Hyundai’s high-performance electric journey. With its thrilling performance, track-ready capabilities, and daily driving comfort, the IONIQ 6 N sets a new benchmark for what’s possible in electric vehicle (EV) engineering.

As Hyundai N's latest flagship, the IONIQ 6 N represents a fusion of cutting-edge technology, motorsport-inspired design, and driver-focused innovation — all underpinned by Hyundai’s commitment to redefining high-performance electrification.

Performance-Driven by Hyundai N Philosophy

At the heart of the IONIQ 6 N is Hyundai N’s three-pillar performance ethos:

• Corner Rascal

• Racetrack Capability

• Everyday Sportscar

This unique approach ensures the IONIQ 6 N delivers sharp handling on twisting roads, explosive acceleration on the track, and refinement for everyday use. It’s a car built to thrill — wherever you drive it.

Electrified Power and Precision Engineering

The Hyundai IONIQ 6 N is no ordinary EV. It delivers:

• 650 PS (478 kW)

• 770 Nm of torque

• 0–62mph in just 3.2 seconds (using N Launch Control)

• Top speed of 160mph

This performance is backed by N Battery, Hyundai’s advanced battery management system. Designed for maximum thermal efficiency and consistent performance, it features upgraded cooling systems and battery conditioning modes, ensuring readiness for drag races, sprints, and endurance runs alike.

Track-Tuned Dynamics with Daily Usability

Beneath the aggressive bodywork lies a heavily reengineered suspension setup, including:

• New suspension geometry for sharper handling

• Stroke sensing Electronically Controlled Suspension (ECS)

• Lowered roll centre for greater stability at high speeds

• Enhanced cornering grip for both road and circuit use

These mechanical upgrades deliver a precise, planted feel behind the wheel, all while maintaining ride comfort during everyday driving.

Aerodynamics with Motorsport Influence

The design of the Hyundai IONIQ 6 N isn’t just for show — it’s a product of performance.

Key aerodynamic enhancements include:

• Swan-neck rear wing for increased downforce

• Widened fenders for improved stability and stance

• Balanced drag and downforce for maximum efficiency

A newly developed Performance Blue Pearl exterior colour debuts with the IONIQ 6 N, offering a deep, pearl-finished take on Hyundai N’s signature hue, enhancing the car’s performance-inspired aesthetic.

Immersive Sound and Shift Experience

To heighten engagement, the IONIQ 6 N introduces N Active Sound + — a multi-layered audio experience featuring:

• Ignition – a motorsport-inspired soundtrack

• Evolution – a tribute to EV heritage

• Lightspeed – a futuristic, sci-fi tone

These sound modes are powered by an upgraded Acoustic Design Processor (ADP), delivering a rich and dynamic audio backdrop to match your driving mood.

Also enhancing the driving sensation is N e-Shift, which simulates the close-ratio gear changes of combustion-engine cars. This system connects seamlessly with key features such as:

• N Launch Control

• N Grin Boost

• N Torque Distribution

• N Drift Optimizer

A synchronised N Ambient Shift Light also gives visual cues for precise gear changes, transforming the cabin into a high-performance command centre.

Built for Enthusiasts: N Track Manager and Drift Optimisation

Drivers looking to push their limits will appreciate:

• N Track Manager – Create and analyse custom tracks with real-time data, ghost laps and performance insights.

• N Drift Optimizer – Tailor drift characteristics, including initiation, angle and wheel spin, to match your style and skill level.

These tools ensure the IONIQ 6 N is as capable on the circuit as it is exciting on public roads.

Conclusion: Hyundai IONIQ 6 N – A New Era of Electrified Performance

The Hyundai IONIQ 6 N isn’t just another high-performance EV — it’s a showcase of what the future of electric driving can look like. With jaw-dropping acceleration, cutting-edge control systems, track-ready handling, and everyday usability, it delivers a driving experience that’s as versatile as it is exhilarating.

Whether you're a track-day regular or just want a performance EV that stands out on the road, the IONIQ 6 N brings the excitement of Hyundai N into the electric age.
