The Hyundai IONIQ 6 N takes everything Hyundai has learned from the award-winning IONIQ 5 N and applies it to a lower, sleeker and even more performance-focused electric sports saloon.
The result is something rather special.
Dual electric motors provide all-wheel drive and up to 650PS, while maximum torque of 770Nm delivers breathtaking acceleration.
With N Launch Control engaged, the IONIQ 6 N can accelerate from 0-62mph in just 3.2 seconds.
Top speed?
An equally impressive 160mph.
But outright speed is only part of what makes the IONIQ 6 N different.
Hyundai N has developed the chassis, suspension, braking, battery cooling and electronic systems to make this an electric performance car designed to engage the driver – whether you're enjoying your favourite road or exploring its capabilities on a racetrack.
And when the fun is over, it's still a comfortable four-door electric car capable of travelling up to 302 miles on a charge.
Press the accelerator and there's no waiting for an engine to build revs.
Electric power arrives immediately.
The IONIQ 6 N's dual-motor all-wheel-drive system delivers immense performance, with N Grin Boost temporarily increasing maximum output to 650PS.
Activate N Grin Boost and the system maximises motor response and power for 10 seconds – ideal when you want the car's full performance.
Combined with N Launch Control, that helps propel the IONIQ 6 N from 0-62mph in just 3.2 seconds.
It's supercar-level acceleration from a practical electric saloon.
At the heart of the IONIQ 6 N is an upgraded 84kWh high-voltage battery.
Hyundai's N engineers have concentrated not only on increasing output but also on ensuring the battery can cope with sustained high-performance driving.
The sophisticated N Battery system can optimise battery temperature according to how the car is being driven, helping maintain performance when demands are particularly high.
And despite all that performance, the IONIQ 6 N offers up to 302 miles of WLTP electric range.
So while it's capable of serious track performance, you don't need a racetrack to make sense of owning one.
Performance isn't much use if you're constantly waiting for the battery to charge.
The IONIQ 6 N benefits from Hyundai's sophisticated 800V charging architecture.
Connected to a compatible 350kW ultra-fast DC charger, the battery can charge from 10% to 80% in around 18 minutes under optimum conditions.
For everyday use, the IONIQ 6 N also supports AC charging, allowing you to conveniently recharge at home or at your destination.
That combination of long range and ultra-fast charging makes this an electric performance car that's genuinely capable of longer journeys.
Electric cars don't require a conventional gearbox.
Hyundai N decided that didn't mean drivers shouldn't be able to enjoy changing gear.
N e-Shift recreates the sensation and involvement of a performance transmission, simulating gear changes and altering power delivery as you accelerate.
Steering-wheel-mounted paddles allow the driver to control those virtual shifts.
It's been designed to provide the interaction and feedback performance-car enthusiasts can sometimes miss when moving from petrol to electric power
The IONIQ 6 N doesn't have to be silent either.
N Active Sound+ works alongside N e-Shift to create sound that responds to acceleration, speed and simulated gear changes.
The idea isn't simply to make noise.
It's about providing additional feedback so the driver can hear as well as feel what the car is doing.
Prefer your electric driving quiet?
You can turn it off.
The IONIQ 6 N adds another sensory element with N Ambient Shift Light.
Interior lighting provides visual cues indicating shift points when using N e-Shift.
As the simulated revs rise, the lighting helps tell you when it's time to change gear.
So you don't just feel and hear the performance.
You can see it too.
Hyundai N has never been about simply putting the biggest possible engine – or electric motors – into a car.
Handling matters.
The IONIQ 6 N features bespoke suspension geometry, electronically controlled suspension and a lower centre of gravity to provide greater control and agility.
Performance technology includes:
The result is a car engineered to be predictable and engaging when driven hard while remaining comfortable enough for everyday journeys.
Want to change how the car delivers its power?
N Torque Distribution allows the balance between the front and rear motors to be adjusted.
With multiple settings available, drivers can alter the car's behaviour according to driving conditions or personal preference.
It's another example of the amount of control Hyundai N gives the driver rather than allowing the electronics to make every decision for you.
Going quickly is only half the equation.
The IONIQ 6 N uses large 400mm ventilated front brakes, supported by Hyundai's sophisticated high-performance regenerative braking system.
Regenerative braking normally recovers energy to recharge an EV battery when slowing down.
In the IONIQ 6 N, Hyundai has developed the system to contribute to the car's overall braking performance as well.
That helps provide the stopping power and consistency required for demanding driving.
For drivers who do take their IONIQ 6 N onto a circuit, N Track Manager adds another layer of performance technology.
The system provides track-focused functionality designed to help drivers explore and understand the car's performance.
Combine it with advanced battery thermal management, performance braking and the IONIQ 6 N's chassis technology and this is an EV engineered with genuine track use in mind.
The regular IONIQ 6 is already known for its exceptionally streamlined shape.
The IONIQ 6 N takes that philosophy in a much more aggressive direction.
A motorsport-inspired rear wing, widened wheelarches, active air flaps and performance-focused aerodynamic details help increase stability and downforce.
Despite those additions, Hyundai has achieved a low 0.27 drag coefficient.
It's a shape designed to look dramatic – but every element has a job to do.
The IONIQ 6 N rides on distinctive 20-inch forged alloy wheels.
Forged construction helps reduce unsprung weight, supporting more agile handling and suspension response.
They're fitted with specially developed 275/35 R20 Pirelli P Zero tyres, designed to cope with the particular demands of a high-performance electric vehicle.
Combined with the widened body and low stance, they also give the IONIQ 6 N considerable road presence.
The driver-focused theme continues inside.
N bucket seats provide additional support during more enthusiastic driving, while the N steering wheel puts key performance functions within easy reach.
Interior highlights include:
It's clearly a performance car – but it retains the comfort and technology expected from an IONIQ model.
Choosing your IONIQ 6 N is refreshingly simple.
Hyundai offers the IONIQ 6 N as one comprehensively equipped high-performance model.
Standard highlights include:
So there's no complicated trim hierarchy to work through.
The performance hardware is part of the package.
Despite its performance credentials, the IONIQ 6 N retains some of the clever practicality found elsewhere in Hyundai's electric range.
Vehicle-to-Load – V2L – technology allows electricity stored in the high-voltage battery to power external electrical equipment.
The onboard 230V socket can provide up to 3.6kW, allowing compatible devices such as laptops, camping equipment or other electrical items to be powered from the car.
Your 650PS performance car can therefore double as a rather substantial portable power bank
They may share a name and distinctive streamliner silhouette, but these are very different cars.
The IONIQ 6 concentrates on aerodynamic efficiency, comfort, electric range and relaxed long-distance driving.
The IONIQ 6 N takes that streamlined platform and transforms it into a dedicated high-performance model.
It receives dual high-output motors, specialist suspension, high-performance braking, reinforced body rigidity and N-specific technologies including N e-Shift, N Active Sound+, N Grin Boost and N Track Manager.
If maximum efficiency and comfort are your priorities, the regular IONIQ 6 makes perfect sense.
If the enjoyment of driving matters just as much as making the switch to electric, the IONIQ 6 N is something else entirely.
Now this is an interesting decision.
Both provide up to 650PS and both demonstrate what Hyundai N can do with electric power.
The IONIQ 5 N combines its performance with the taller, more practical body and distinctive retro-futuristic design of the IONIQ 5.
The IONIQ 6 N sits lower and takes a more focused sports-saloon approach.
Its aerodynamic body, bespoke suspension geometry and lower stance give it a distinctly different character.
For drivers wanting maximum versatility, IONIQ 5 N has a strong case.
For those who favour a lower, sleeker and more traditional performance-car driving position, IONIQ 6 N may be the one.
Perhaps the most impressive thing about the IONIQ 6 N is that none of its performance prevents it from functioning as an everyday car.
It still provides four doors, comfortable passenger accommodation and a 401-litre luggage compartment.
There's up to 302 miles of WLTP electric range.
It can rapid charge from 10% to 80% in around 18 minutes under optimum conditions.
And its electronically controlled suspension can adapt from more comfortable everyday driving to considerably more focused performance settings.
Drive it to work Monday to Friday.
Take it somewhere considerably more interesting at the weekend.
The Hyundai IONIQ 6 N is backed by Hyundai's 5-year unlimited mileage warranty.
Its high-voltage battery also benefits from Hyundai's dedicated EV battery warranty, providing additional long-term reassurance.
The Hyundai IONIQ 6 N proves that the electric performance car has well and truly arrived.
With an 84kWh battery, dual-motor all-wheel drive, 650PS and 770Nm of torque, it can accelerate from 0-62mph in just 3.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 160mph.
But the headline numbers only tell half the story.
N e-Shift, N Active Sound+, N Grin Boost, N Track Manager, adaptive suspension and sophisticated chassis technology have all been developed to make the driver an integral part of the experience.
And with up to 302 miles of WLTP electric range and 800V ultra-fast charging, it's capable of being far more than a weekend toy.

More and more motorists are choosing to drive electric and hybrid vehicles. As such, you’ll find plenty of charging points available across the UK, whether you’re in town, at work, or on the motorway.
Charging your electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) at home is simple. You can either use a standard three-pin socket, or invest in a wallbox. The wallbox is a much faster solution, cutting charge times down by several hours. And with manufacturer deals or government incentives often available on wallboxes, it’s a cost-effective option too.
Many workplaces are starting to provide rapid-charging facilities for employees’ vehicles. Indeed, government help is available for businesses, such as the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS), which is provided by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEZ). If your workplace doesn’t yet have rapid charging, you can plug into a three-pin socket.
