Happy Tuesday everyone! Its a two video day and this is probably the high performance EV that surprised us the most! We got extensive time on the track and on the street and it genuinely feels like an electric hot hatch built by enthusiast, for enthusiasts. Well done to those mad scientist over at the N performance division.

I haven’t seen you giggle like that in quite a long time, I’m sold

Your laughter and excitement is wonderful! What an amazing vehicle!

Trying to replicate the feeling of a 2L turbocharged internal combustion engine with a dual clutch 8 speed auto wins my heart it’s amazing in the way it makes us feel like traditional high performance cars and ev with a soul

Man hyundai has been killing it,what a cool ev

Hardcore petrol head here and this is the first vehicle to EVER have me consider switching over to EV.

Hyundai and Kia together clinched three of the six World Car of the Year awards. The Kia EV9 won both World Car of the Year and World Electric Vehicle awards, while the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N was recognized as the World Performance Car.

This is a game changer for performance EV's. That transmission is bonkers.

For anyone wondering the Macan EV Turbo has less power, weighs 500lb+ more, has less cargo space, costs 2x the price similarly equipped, etc. Crazy this Ioniq 5 also has the same battery/charging tech and it has crazy good thermal management. It was developed to do a hot lap then fast charge and another hot lap without and significant heating concerns. Probably on par or better than what Porsche developed.

I love the look of the ioniq 5 and turning it into a retro hot hatch is insanely cool

Everyone i've seen so far that got their hands on this can't help but smile driving this. And I think that's exciting. Yes, it's not for everyone, but those that want to have fun definitely will with this car it seems.

Absolute beast. This thing is awesome!

At least with this price, there is no competitor in the world. There's no EV which can take more than two laps of Nurburgring with full sprint other than this with near stock version under 150k. But in the States, consumers must take too much markup to get this one.

cant wait for the ioniq 6 version!

I would get into some serious trouble if this was ever in my possession. Therefore, I will stay away from it and just admire it from a distance. Another win for Hyundai.

That steering wheel is hard as fuck lol. Man crazy setup

Shame Kia EV6 GT didnt go the extra mile with similar features, way more aggressive styling and driving dynamics. Well done Hyundai!

If you're going to make an EV hot hatch... this is the way to do it!

The joy was obvious when you were performing the 0-60 mph tests...yes the sound is artificial but together with all that power it sounded pretty fun and made me want to go and order one now, lol

I could see your excitement there, I believe that's what that car is all about

One of your best videos yet you’ve made, been watching it for many years!! It looks very fun !! Keep up the good work I love what you do !!😁

You give the best reviews of vehicles.

For the record you need a travel itinerary just to operate the starship. Insane amount of gadgets and power.

This car looks so fun. Hyundai is killing it.

Been waiting for this review!

I own a 2023 Ioniq 5 SEL AWD and it’s pretty fun. It’s quick not fast. But this 5N is amazing and on another level. Too bad Stealerships will kill anyone’s hopes of not paying $20K mark ups on this low volume performance model. Sad. 😢 Great review as always RR!

My coworker showed me her Tesla model Y making fart noise...but I definitely want this one any day.

I've never seen you have this much fun!

Wow, just love that steering wheel!!

Dude you're my favorite car reviewer. Great work.

Excellent review! Nice job showing and explaining the features that set it apart from it's competitors. It actually looks like it's "fun" to drive--well done Hyundai.

Dang no heads up display? It's one of my favorite features of the 2024 Ioniq5.

Wow this looks like a blast to drive based on your reactions. Hyundai great job on making a sick Hot Hatch EV

This is such a cool car! With a lot of quirks and features

This ev looks sick!! I like the fake sound a lot really!!

You making me fall in love with this car!! 😂

GREAT REVIEW!👍🏽👍🏽

Honestly no different than playing video games. We enjoy all the car noises going on in a video game so getting some simulated shifts and sounds in the real world is still very fun.

No EV will ever be as fun to drive as a true ICE car, nor have as much of a pure driving experience, but the way Sofyan raves about this car certainly has peaked my interest in it.

Thats an impressive little hot hatch. Wow.

16:53 This vehicle has wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay

Holding out for the Rivian R3X but this is promising and good to see from Hyundai

Koreans taking over the car market with this..

In australia getting a sunroof for the Ionic 5n is a option

This thing is SO SICK

Smiles per kilowatt hour 😁

That Nos "NGB" button that adds 40 hp for 10 secs is epic lol

Omg. Nvr seen u genuinely suprised and happy

Remember it's not 601 to the crank it's 601 to the wheels at all times. It's absolutely insane. How much money or mods you have to pay to get to that whp numbers

As a performance enthusiast, I really like the acceleration and handling aspects, I think this car will be popular.

Game changer. I said this when they first announced the ioniq 5n. Now ppl are seeing it. N to the world.

Love to see the Elantra N influence in it!

Love this thing!

It looks 🔥. Hyundai's been seriously cooking lately.

Oh man, this looks fun. I can't wait until they make a smaller hot hatch like the Kona EV in to an N version. Having a true FWD hot hatch EV would be sick. Also, it would be nice if you could adjust the power without the full gimp Eco mode. 600 HP is a little too much to actually enjoy when just driving around. If you could tune it down to 300 HP but keep the AWD and throttle response and the sound, that would be flawless.

Did they upragde the brake fluid on the tester before the track event?

I currently have an EV6 GT. This is nice but it has too many sacrifices to be a daily for me. I knew this a couple of months ago prior to getting my GT. As much as I like how it looks like inside (now) and outside I didn't want to wait for it as the GT has several things that I like over it. I wanted an opening sunroof and was surprised today that it doesn't have a HUD either which I use everyday. I do appreciate that they were able to retain the vent seats though. I just wish there were buttons for them instead of going through the screen. This seems to be a cross between the old gen and the new gen coming out. I would actually be more interested in the N-line instead. I didn't want to track my car so I knew the 5 N was not for me. This is a great car if you want to track it tho but to me the sound would get old quick. Whoever gets this car enjoy it! It's just not for me and I'm fine with that. Call me old hehe. 😊

Uk gets vision roof as an option but very limited colour range. Wireless Apple CarPlay and android auto is standard as this has upgrades similar to the facelift regular I5. Also noticed your key fob doesn’t have the remote park buttons. Car scene Korea’s review a few months ago had a key with these functions

Hearing that laugh tells me everything I need to know

My ionic 5 has been flawless, great car

Been hoping for an EV like this and Hyundai seems to have exceeded expectations. I would love the ability to emulate different drivetrains/engines complete with shifting characteristics and engine sounds. Now we just need more high powered chargers at tracks.

I am a proud owner of a 2021 Hyundai Veloster N and I can confidently say this is just a slightly faster electrified version of my car, which is hardly a bad thing since most EV’s wish they were as fun as a Veloster N. Great job Hyundai 👏🏻

looks awesome!

20:51 with all due respect sir, the model three performance of last year end of years prior did 3.1 seconds. 😮

The fact someone can say a Hyundai captures 90% of the performance of a Porsche... that says volumes. I mean of course it's nowhere near something like a GT3, but hyundai being compared to any performance Porsche is crazy, and I think they're putting the EV industry on notice. I hope all manufacturers pay attention and put in eshift with interior simulated sound, etc. That's how you get car enthusiasts to look at an EV.

Wow!! What a cool EV! Do you prefer the N series over your Mach E?

Just saw one on the road just now,0 made my head turn as I did not know it was out already. Made me sad walking to my own Non-N Ioniq 5 lol

But your video is always great 👍🏼👍🏼😁

Pretty impressive

your reaction when you floored it from a stop was gold!!

Welll I’m sold. Hate the battery but you sold me 😂. They owe you money for this review for sure. lol

This machine even shines more on a race track. 😊

This car seems freakin' amazing!! The only thing I'm concerned with is the range - 221 miles?! I'm really looking forward to the day when Lithium Ion battery technology progresses and we can hopefully double that range without significantly adding to the weight.

This, the Taycan, and the Rimac Nevera are the only three EVs that I can’t bring myself to hate.

I have a question, he said that Hyundai had to remove the panarama roof from the 5N but on the official german Hyundai Website there is still an optional package for the sunroof. Is it just a mistake from the video creator or is there some background to this?

Awesome hot electric hatch, bet the Kona is next possible

I like to see you smile with N.

As an owner of a model 3 performance for the last 5 years, this thing is sick. I wish it had a little more mileage for the occasional trip to take my wife to the airport. But man, if I ever start to hate my model 3 (which I doubt) or when it starts to fall apart, this will be on the top of my list of replacement cars.

I’m getting one for sure 👍 🎉

Seems really loud , how do you lower sound if you floor it can you put engine sound on ambiance mode ?

FINALLY, a car company who figured out the sounds for an electric car. I was hoping BMW would do it but THANK YOU HYUNDAI for figuring it out. Figure out the adding 100 more miles of range, I would buy one.

Great Job Hyundai!!! Love the simulated noise! Other automakers take notice

I wish they had a long range version to this with 400+ mile range on a full charge

Best review on I5N

gnna lease one of these for $188 a month next year cant wait

Stellar 🔥🔥🔥🔥

car scene: you cant never make an Ev thats fun to drive Me: an intellectual:

Trying to figure out how the hell to get winter wheels / tires on this thing with those calipers ought to be interesting (if not impossible).

they need to have an option with powerseats tbh.. some people like to go fast but doesn't necessarily have to have be "track" car. Some of us just want a performance car with comfortable/convenient seats.

Seventy Thou-Wow!!!

The N is 80K in CAD (Canada) Damn I will never own this but it looks cool lol

The Evolution sound is from the Hyundai VISION GT race car

That is faster than Taican man. You gotta use regen braking for better track attack. It has the strongest regen braking among competitors.

This has me pumped for the GV60 Magma!

That’s a wild statement 👀

It would be nice if Hyundai/Kia would introduce cloud-based derived maps just like Toyota did with their more recent infotainment system. In regards to infotainment systems, companies like Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, Mercedes, BMW (and now Toyota) got it right.

My myp has been best cornering racy car I've ever owned. I've had camaro gt with lowering kit. Etc.

You look really happy 😆😆

EXPENSIVE

I'll have to get one in 5+ years. Cmon depreciation.
