As consumer interest in the high-performance electric vehicle market heats up, Hyundai Motor Company has teased the launch of its electric sedan, the Ioniq 6 N, prompting even premium sports car brands to take notice.
The YouTube channel NYMammoth recently released a rendering video of the Ioniq 6 N.
The video is based on spy shots captured during actual road testing and has drawn attention for its high-quality, realistic design.
Streamlined Body, Enhanced with Muscular Styling
The Ioniq 6 N retains the streamlined silhouette of the standard model but now features bold, high-performance elements.
At the front, slim daytime running lights (DRLs) are prominently featured. Separate from the main headlamps, they are positioned above a black high-gloss line, giving the vehicle an assertive look.
The aggressively styled lower bumper incorporates large air intakes, N-brand-exclusive air curtains, and air vents, maximizing aerodynamic performance.
Red-accented front lips and side skirts underscore the N performance line’s aggressive styling, while black 20-inch forged wheels and a large wing spoiler reinforce its sports sedan credentials.
Up to 641 Horsepower, 0 to 100 km/h in 3 Seconds
According to industry sources, the Ioniq 6 N will feature all-wheel drive with electric motors mounted on both the front and rear axles.
Maximum output is expected to reach an impressive 641 horsepower, and the vehicle is estimated to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in about 3 seconds.
It will reportedly be equipped with an 84.0 kWh battery pack, which, under European standards, offers a maximum driving range of up to 700 kilometers per charge.
The ultra-fast charging system remains intact. Thanks to its 800V architecture, the Ioniq 6 N can charge from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes.
High-Performance EV Era Reaches Sedans
Launched in 2023, the Ioniq 5 N was globally praised as a cost-effective sports car and exceeded expectations in the high-performance EV segment.
This trend is also evident in sales figures. In South Korea, N-brand sales jumped from 7,740 units in 2021 to 20,000 in 2022.
Although the figure dipped to around 10,300 units in 2023 due to the discontinuation of internal combustion N models, by October last year, sales had reached approximately 12,700 units—nearly half of which were Ioniq 5 N vehicles.
Hyundai is now preparing for the mass production of the high-performance Ioniq 6 N sedan. Previously introduced as the RN22e concept, this model is a high-performance EV based on the Ioniq 6.
Unlike the existing high-performance N lineup, which mainly focuses on SUVs and hatchbacks, the Ioniq 6 N is a rare attempt at a performance-oriented electric sedan.
