The Hyundai Hotter version Ioniq 5 N Is Stepping Towards Launch In 2023

Jul-Wed-2022

Its the lone all - electric Hyundai to get the hardcore 'N' branded treatment.

On the 'N' Day (July 15) the limelight for Hyundai was on the N22e and N Vision 74,two racy concepts portray their performance in a unique way by showcasing the Hyundai N's electric roadmap.The carmaker released a bombshell by stating the Ioniq 5 EV getting the perfomance transformed 'N' treatment making the competitors astonished with the move releasing in the 2023.

In the 'N' model we will firstly discuss on its performance factor.Since Hyundai hasnt revealed any specs yet, the Ioniq 6 based RN22e concept gives some clues as to what to expect.The conncept has a dual - motor AWD setup, making 585PS and 740Nm,coupled with 77.4kWh battery pack.For reference,the standard Ioniq 5's top-spec powertrain setup is a 306PS/605Nm dual motor AWD setup,coupled with a 72.6kWh battery pack.

Other than powertrain, the Ioniq 5 N could have torque vectoring,optimal power distribution,use 3D printed parts to save weight and come with better brakes to gain performance.Of course, all these gains could come at the cost of range,as the standard model offers a WLTP-claimed 470-480km on a single charge.

It seems to be a performance EV.Early spy shots of the performance EV fulfills those aspects.The overall profile looks largely similar to the standard model,where we noticed a lower ride hieght as well as sporty blacked - out alloy wheels wrapped in low profile tyres.

For India, the advanced model launch seems to be quite far away since the initial standard model which is Ioniq 5 is expected to arrive in second half of 2022.
