    The performance variant of the electric fastback makes its appearance with a heavy camouflage The much-anticipated Hyundai Ioniq 6 N has been spied with a heavy camouflage yet again. It will be the second electric vehicle to wear the highly decorated “N” moniker from the Korean auto giant. Hyundai has effectively transformed its performance characteristics into its new-age eco-friendly cars. The existing Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is a prime example of that. Hyundai Motor Group’s highly adaptable E-GMP architecture has been able to support the electric transition without compromising on the DNA of the N Division.

Even though the body of the electric fastback is wrapped in a thick covering, the silhouette gives away some basic details. At the front, the split-LED lighting setup is evident. Also, there are aero intakes on the extreme edges of the bumper. Interestingly, the middle section of the bumper looks broad, much similar to a grille in ICE cars. Perhaps, that is where the equipment for ADAS will be housed. Moving down the sides highlights the sloping roofline, reminiscent of a fastback silhouette. While it might have encountered mixed reactions from car experts and customers alike, it is definitely a distinct giveaway of its identity. It is hard to confuse it with anything else. Also, the black alloy wheels with red brake calipers accentuate the sportiness. But the biggest talking point of the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N is its colossal rear wing. That informs the performance credentials of the EV. The testing is underway in Europe. We know that the Ioniq 6 N will most likely borrow the powertrains with the Ioniq 5 N. Therefore, it will possess an 84 kWh battery pack which will power a dual-motor setup. In the Ioniq 5 N, this configuration develops 601 hp (448 kW) and 739 Nm (545 lb-ft) of maximum power and torque. However, these numbers go up to 641 hp (478 kW) and 770 Nm (568 lb-ft) with the N Grin Boost function temporarily. It propels the electric hatchback from 0 to 60 mph (97 kmph) in just 3.25 seconds with a top speed of 162 mph (261 kmph). This should give you an idea of what to expect from the Ioniq 6 N.

    The Korean auto giant is reportedly working on the fire-breathing iteration of the low-slung electric sedan. After gathering positive reviews from industry experts for the Ioniq 5 N, Hyundai is gearing up to launch the Ioniq 6 N. The Korean car marque is evidently excited about the performance versions of its Ioniq electric vehicle range. Having gained massive prominence, the Ioniq 5 is already available with the N badge, the first EV to wear it, while the Ioniq 6 could follow by 2025. Hyundai wants to ensure that performance enthusiasts don’t miss out on the fun as the industry transitions from coal-burning IC engines to electric cars.

The latest case comes from somewhere in Germany. It makes sense to test in Deutschland at the iconic Nürburgring track. By the looks of things, the electric monster will borrow most elements from the regular Ioniq 6. However, there will be a few aspects to enhance the performance. This ranges from aesthetic and aerodynamic components to mechanical modifications. Some of the most visual alterations include the likes of wider tracks, fender extensions, red brake callipers, an upgraded braking system, an extension of the rear spoiler and more. Furthermore, there will be an aggressive body kit in the production model. Still, these spy images give us a clear clue as to what the final product will look like. Notably, Hyundai could also deploy its Active Skirts technology to enhance aerodynamics even more. Hyundai Ioniq 6 N – Specs Albeit there are no official announcements from the Korean carmaker, it should be safe to assume that the Ioniq 6 N will borrow the powertrain from the Ioniq 5 N. Hence, we could see the dual-motor AWD version which could produce 641 hp of peak power for 10 seconds using the N Grin Boost function, just like the Ioniq 5 N. In regular settings, this mill will churn out a still impressive 601 hp and 770 Nm of peak power and torque. Powering the electric performance sedan will be an 84 kWh battery. To take things to a whole new level in terms of driving engagement, the Ioniq 6 N could take advantage of the N e-shift function which mimics an 8-speed automatic transmission to give the jolts experienced during actual gear shifts in IC cars by regulating motor torque. On top of that, it will also get the N Active Sound+ mode which imitates the sound of Hyundai’s 2.0-litre turbocharged engine. The overall aim is to bring the driving engagement and feel as close to orthodox performance vehicles as possible.

It is quite commendable how Hyundai is able to juggle all these alternatives to ensure that it caters to all sorts of potential customers. For now, let us see how soon we get to experience the Ioniq 6 N in the flesh. Source

    Hyundai Motor Group is on a mission to establish itself as a prominent player in this transition phase from traditional ICE-powered vehicles to EVs and has already grabbed a solid lead with its products. In this blog post, we shall do a Hyundai IONIQ 6 vs Kia EV6 comparison in terms of specs and price. Both these EVs, essentially, come from the same parent company, Hyundai Motor Group. While the IONIQ is an all-electric sub-brand of Hyundai, Kia is its sister organization too. Launched on July 12, 2022, Hyundai IONIQ 6 has become a huge success in the international market. Its production takes place in South Korea at the Asan plant. The production of the Hyundai IONIQ 6 for the USA market will start in January 2023 and its sales will commence in March 2023.

Hyundai IONIQ 6 vs Kia EV6 – Specs Comparison Before we begin, it must be noted that the IONIQ 6 has only been announced in the dual-motor AWD configuration with the larger 77.4 kWh battery pack. The single-motor variant with a smaller battery (53 kWh) will be launched in the coming months. Therefore, we shall compare it to the top trim of the Kia EV6 only. Both these EVs are based on Hyundai’s E-GMP (Electric Global Modular Platform). Specs Comparison Hyundai IONIQ 6 Kia EV6 Drivetrain 2WD/AWD 2WD/AWD Battery 77.4 kWh 77.4 kWh Power 239 kW (320 hp) 239 kW (320 hp) Torque 446 lb-ft (605 Nm) 446 lb-ft (605 Nm) Range 320 miles (515 km) 274 miles (441 km) Acceleration (0-60 mph) 5.1 secs 5.1 secs 350 kW DC Fast Charging – 800 V (10%-80%) 20 mins 18 mins Drag Coeff. 0.21 0.28 Hyundai IONIQ 6 vs Kia EV6 – Specs Comparison While these two will feature identical powertrains, the difference lies in their body types. Whereas the EV6 is a crossover SUV, the IONIQ 6 is an aerodynamically sound electric sedan that Hyundai calls an “Electric Streamliner”. The sheer design will alter the range and efficiency of the IONIQ 6. Therefore, you will be able to squeeze more out of the electric sedan compared to the electric crossover. The extended-range version will be launched later that will have a range of up to 382 miles (615 km).

On the other hand, the estimated prices of the Hyundai IONIQ 6 would lie somewhere between $45,000 USD to $55,000 USD. Hence, there isn’t much to choose between the two in terms of prices. Price Comparison Kia EV6 Hyundai IONIQ 6 Base Trim $47,000 $45,000 (est.) Top Trim $58,500 $55,000 (est.) Hyundai IONIQ 6 vs Kia EV6 – Price Comparison Verdict With the price constraints out of the way, it really boils down to the kind of body one prefers. There lies a clear distinction between the two. If you are someone who loves the rather imposing SUV-ish road presence, the EV6 might do the trick. On the other hand, if you want something a bit more unique with an understated and sophisticated design, the IONIQ 6 electric sedan might make more sense.
