Hyundai has unveiled the Ioniq 6 N at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, extending the brand’s performance EV strategy that began with the Ioniq 5 N. The fastback sedan rides on the same 800-volt electric platform as its hatchback sibling but employs a revised dual-motor powertrain, new cooling hardware, and dedicated chassis geometry developed for track use.
In normal operation the motors deliver 600 hp (448 kW) and 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) of torque. The NGB button on the steering wheel activates the ten-second Grin Boost function, raising output to 641 hp (478 kW) and cutting the factory 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) time to a quoted 3.2 seconds when Launch Control is engaged. Top speed is limited to 160 mph (257 km/h).
Energy is stored in an 84 kWh pack managed by the new N Battery thermal suite. The system pre-conditions cells for drag runs, sprint laps, or endurance sessions, and a larger coolant heater reduces warm-up time in cold weather. With a 350 kW DC charger, the battery can move from 10 to 80 percent in about 18 minutes under ideal conditions.
Suspension changes include bespoke front and rear geometry and stroke-sensing electronically controlled dampers that broaden the spread between comfort and track settings. Brake hardware consists of four-piston front calipers on 15.7-inch (400 mm) rotors and single-piston rear calipers on 14.2-inch (360 mm) rotors. Regenerative braking can supply up to 0.6 g of deceleration, trimming heat load on the friction brakes during long sessions.
Exterior revisions focus on aerodynamics. A swan-neck rear wing, flared fenders, and an active diffuser generate added downforce while retaining a 0.27 drag coefficient. The car debuts Performance Blue Pearl paint and rolls on 20-inch wheels wrapped in 275/35ZR20 Pirelli P Zero 5 tires marked “HN” to denote a compound developed specifically for Hyundai N.
Driver-focused software rounds out the package. N e-Shift simulates eight close ratios by modulating motor torque and inserting calibrated power interruptions, while N Active Sound + offers three sound themes—Ignition, Evolution, and Lightspeed—through cabin and external speakers. An ambient shift-light strip signals optimal upshift points when e-Shift is active. Additional tools include N Torque Distribution with eleven front-to-rear settings and an N Drift Optimizer that lets drivers tailor drift initiation, angle, and wheel-spin limits. Lap data and ghost-car overlays are stored in the N Track Manager application.
Inside, the Ioniq 6 N adds fixed-back front buckets, Performance Blue accents, and embossed N logos. Overall length is 194.3 in. (4,935 mm), width 76.4 in. (1,940 mm), height 58.9 in. (1,495 mm), and wheelbase 116.7 in. (2,965 mm). Curb weight and EPA range estimates have not yet been released.
Hyundai says U.S. pricing will be announced closer to launch, with deliveries expected to begin in 2026. The company will offer a catalog of N Performance Parts, allowing owners to add aero pieces, brake upgrades, and suspension components after purchase.
As an owner of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, I can’t wait to get behind the wheel of the Ioniq 6 N to see how it compares.
