has long been interested in launching pure electric works for its N Performance sub-brand. Previously, the group's technical consultant Albert Biermann also revealed some relevant information in an interview with foreign media. The first pure electric performance car in modern history will be built based on the current IONIQ 5. The new car has been photographed in Europe and its own South Korea, and several media have even reported the relevant preview of the real car.

Albert Biermann said that the power output of the new Hyundai IONIQ 5 N will be stronger than the current i30 N, and this pure electric performance car has a maximum horsepower of up to 600 horses, but due to the fact that the actual car has not been released yet, there is only so much that Albert Biermann can say. According to the earliest information leaked, the new Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is expected to share the same electric system with the current Kia EV6 GT, and the maximum horsepower of the EV6 GT has reached 575 horsepower. It is not impossible for the IONIQ 5 N to reach the maximum horsepower level of 600 horsepower. In this way, the IONIQ 5 N is enough to be called the most powerful model in the entire group.

However, Albert Biermann also said that this pure electric performance car must be fast enough, but this is not the point. What is important is how much driving fun you can get when driving the IONIQ 5 N. The original manufacturer also added a new N Sound+ sound system to the IONIQ 5 N. This special "sound effect" function was originally used for the RN22e pure electric concept car unveiled at this year's Busan Motor Show.

just adds a little "noise" to the fairly quiet pure electric car, so that the original development engineering department will work hard. After all, in the past, when developing fuel vehicles, they tried their best to minimize noise, but when making pure electric cars, they must try to imitate the sound of the internal combustion locomotive model driving. Albert Biermann revealed: "This is really not easy."

In addition, the new Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is expected to retain its original appearance design, but due to the evolution of N Performance, this pure electric performance car is expected to be replaced with an exclusive N aerodynamic kit, red brake calipers, larger aluminum rings, etc., as well as a reinforced chassis and suspension system; the car should also be replaced with N steering wheels, N sports seats and other passionate elements full of modern N. The vehicle has now entered the final testing stage and is expected to be mass-produced at the Ulsan plant in South Korea in the first half of 2023. ​
