The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is already a reality in Spain: the Korean electric performance car now has a price in our country

Bad news for Hyundai N fans: the most radical versions of its models, with the i20 N and the i30 N as the top representatives, two models that arrived to fill a gap many manufacturers left wide open and that the Koreans seized very well, but it seems that in Europe we will have to say goodbye to them, judging by the latest news.

We will see whether news already confirmed, such as the elimination of hybrid engines in the Rally1 category starting next year, forces Hyundai to back down. Rallying is where the brand gained much of the knowledge it later applied to its N road cars. For now, this is the situation, and much of the blame falls on another new member, obviously electric: the Ioniq 5 N, which is finally arriving at Hyundai dealerships, including those in Spain.

The latest news about the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N came almost a year ago, when it was still completing tests in the Arctic and, along the way, the brand’s test drivers were having a blast on the ice. Now it is a reality for the rest of us, or rather for anyone who wants an electric car to cause some mischief on the road as well as on the track, as long as its battery allows, because as you can imagine it will not be cheap.

We have already talked at length about the Ioniq 5 N, but let us recall that it is built on the E-GMP platform for Hyundai electric vehicles, on which sits an electric motor producing 650 CV of power and 770 Nm of torque, sent to all four wheels at all times, with the N Grin mode activated, which lasts only 10 seconds before returning to 609 CV of power. The system also includes the 84 kWh battery, which provides a range of 448 kilometres according to the WLTP test cycle, and when it needs recharging it can even use a DC ultra-rapid charging station to go from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N will be offered in a single trim, so as you can imagine its equipment is extremely complete, and in it we can find items such as the following:

• Driver, passenger, front side and curtain airbags
• Electric parking brake
• Safe exit assist
• High-voltage battery heating system
• Rear and front traffic collision prevention system during parking manoeuvres

As you can see, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is an electric performance car but also a well-equipped electric compact that can be used perfectly in everyday life. To order one, you can already visit the brand’s dealerships, although you will need to pay 78,000 euros, the price the brand has set for it in our country.
