Hyundai Ioniq 6 N Debuts: 641 HP, Aggressive Styling, and Track-Ready Upgrades

Hyundai’s Ioniq 6 N Is a 641-HP Electric Beast That Does 0-60 in 3.2 Seconds

Move over, Ioniq 5 N—Hyundai’s latest high-performance EV is here, and it’s a sedan. Meet the Ioniq 6 N, a sleek, electrified rocket packing 641 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of just 3.2 seconds. With a top speed of 160 mph, it’s not just fast—it’s a full-blown track weapon with everyday practicality.

Power & Performance: More Than Just Speed

Underneath its sculpted body, the Ioniq 6 N hides a dual-motor AWD setup cranking out 601 hp and 546 lb-ft of torque—but hit N Grin Boost, and those numbers jump to 641 hp and 568 lb-ft for 10-second adrenaline bursts (same as its Ioniq 5 N sibling). Combine that with N Launch Control, and this thing hits 62 mph in 3.2 seconds—supercar territory.

Hyundai didn’t just throw power at this thing, though. Engineers tweaked the suspension geometry, chassis stiffness, and adaptive dampers that react to road conditions in real time. Want to have some fun? N Torque Distribution lets you tweak power delivery, while N Drift Optimizer helps you hold slides like a pro. And when it’s time to stop, massive 15.7-inch front and 14.1-inch rear brakes (with four-piston calipers up front) bring things to a halt, while 20-inch Pirelli P-Zero 5 tires keep it glued to the pavement.

Visually, the 6 N gets flared fenders, a swan-neck rear wing, and other aggressive touches that scream "don’t mess with me."

Tech & Sound: Because EVs Should Be Fun

Hyundai knows electric cars can feel a little… quiet. So the Ioniq 6 N gets N Active Sound+, with three audio profiles:

• "Ignition" (growly motorsport vibes)

• "Evolution" (a nod to classic EV tones)

• "Lightspeed" (straight out of a sci-fi movie)

There’s also N e-Shift, which simulates gear changes (complete with lighting effects) to make acceleration feel more engaging.

Range, Battery & Options

Hyundai estimates 291 miles (WLTP), though the EPA rating (likely closer to 220-250 miles) will be the real test. The 84.0-kWh battery is the same as the Ioniq 5 N, so expect similar charging speeds.

Want to stand out? Choose from six paint options, including matte finishes, and add N performance accessories for extra personalization.

Price & Release Date

No official word yet, but since the Ioniq 5 N starts at $67,800, the 6 N could land in the low-$60,000 range—making it a (slightly) more affordable way into Hyundai’s high-performance EV club. Stay tuned for updates as we get closer to launch.
