Hyundai has unveiled its highly anticipated IONIQ 6 N at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, aiming to set a new benchmark for high-performance electric vehicles.
At the heart of the IONIQ 6 N’s technical advances is its sophisticated onboard technology. The “N Active Sound +” system provides a dynamic audio experience, powered by a stereo sound source and an enhanced Acoustic Design Processor.
Drivers can select from three tailored sound modes: “Ignition” for a motorsport-inspired feel, “Evolution” for a heritage EV sound, and “Lightspeed” for futuristic sci-fi tones.
Complementing this is the “N e-Shift” system, which simulates close gear ratios, enhancing responsiveness and the driver’s connection to the vehicle. This virtual gear shift is now fully compatible with other performance features like N Launch Control and N Drift Optimizer.
Further enhancing the driving environment is the “N Ambient Shift Light,” an interior lighting feature that visually indicates precise shift points for optimal performance, creating a more immersive cockpit.
For track enthusiasts, the “N Track Manager” allows for custom track creation, real-time ghost car visuals, and detailed lap time analysis, empowering drivers to monitor and evaluate their performance.
The IONIQ 6 N is powered by a 84 kWh battery pack, similar in capacity to the IONIQ 5 N. It boasts an impressive 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 3.2 seconds using N Launch Control and a top speed of 257 km/h (approximately 160 mph).
The revamped “N Battery” management system ensures optimal temperature control for various driving scenarios, from drag racing to endurance, significantly reducing conditioning time.
Hyundai states the vehicle can achieve a range of up to 291 miles (469 kilometers) on the WLTP cycle, and with a 350-kilowatt DC fast charger, the battery can charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 18 minutes under optimal conditions.
