IONIQ 5 N Named Best Performance Car at Autocar Awards 2024

We are excited to announce that the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N has been awarded Best Performance Car at the prestigious Autocar Awards 2024!

The prestigious awards are held annually by the world’s oldest motoring magazine and recognise the very best cars on sale today in a variety of key areas of the market.

The ground-breaking IONIQ 5 N available at Read Hyundai was up against several traditional internal combustion models from established high-performance brands, as well as an array of ultra-powerful electrified cars, but won over the expert judging panel thanks to the sheer enjoyment it delivers for drivers.

The high-performance model is based on the same Electrified-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) as the standard IONIQ 5 – the 2022 World Car of the Year – and integrates the motorsport-bred technologies and expertise of Hyundai’s N division to take driving enjoyment to a new level.

Among a host of key technical advances is a powertrain which delivers greater power output and enhanced performance in battery cooling and braking. The IONIQ 5 N’s electric motors spin up to 21,000 RPM, providing up to 609 PS in normal conditions, or 650 PS when the car’s N Grin Boost (NGB) feature is engaged, maximising acceleration for up to 10 seconds. 0-62mph is achievable in 3.4 seconds, while a top speed of 161mph is attainable on tracks.

Other upgrades include a strengthened steering column for improved feedback, Electronic Controlled Suspension that adapts suspension stiffness according to the drive mode, and a suite of sophisticated electronic control technology in the E-GMP platform. Highlights include N Pedal, an intelligent software function that provides instant turn-in and enhanced throttle sensitivity for exhilarating cornering, and fully variable front and rear N Torque Distribution.

The IONIQ 5 N also sets a new benchmark in terms of emotional engagement for a performance EV, courtesy of N e-shift, which simulates the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission of internal combustion engine N cars, while the addictive soundtrack comes via innovative N Active Sound+ technology. N e-shift and N Active Sound+ were praised by Autocar, with Mark Tisshaw adding:

“There are a lot of settings menus to experiment with, and the IONIQ 5 lets you tailor the driving experience to your driving preferences.

Within reason, it can be whatever you want it to be.”
