Hyundai IONIQ 5 N Starts At $66,100 – How Does It Compare To The Rivals?

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.

Price Comparison

It is clear from the table that Hyundai has positioned the IONIQ 5 N rather competitively considering that it is more powerful than the lot. It has a distinct advantage over the luxury sub-brand of Hyundai, Genesis. Mustang and Kia are marginally better priced but the IONIQ 5 N is more promising among the three.

It is only the Tesla which will give the IONIQ 5 N a run for its money. But then again, Model Y is the highest-selling EV in the world. It aims to offer performance, practicality and tech-savvy features to its owners. On the other hand, the IONIQ 5 N is truly capable of being called a track monster.
