Hyundai Motor Company announced the prices of its electric hot-hatch/crossover, the IONIQ 5 N, as we compare these with its rivals.
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is the performance version of the IONIQ 5. The letter ‘N’ in the Korean carmaker’s nomenclature depicts the performance division. It represents three things – Namyang, Nürburgring and Chicane or tight serpentine turn in the road.
Namyang is a district in South Korea where the N brand was incepted. It is the location of Hyundai’s Global R&D Center. Nürburgring is the world-famous racetrack in Germany where most supercars test their performance and post lap times. The N brand was born relatively recently in 2012. And rest, as they say, is history. Fast forward to today, Hyundai offers an N model even in its electric portfolio.
