CarTell take

We haven't driven the Ioniq 5 N yet. On paper, range drops well below 448 km WLTP under hard driving. Confirm 800V charger access on your regular routes, the slower 50 to 150 kW DC chargers waste the architecture.

Why consider it

  • 478 kW peak with N Grin Boost, 3.4-second 0 to 100, 800V architecture with 350 kW DC charging, and Track SOC pre-conditioning for back-to-back lap sessions.

What to know

  • $115,000 plus on-roads puts it above the BMW M3 and i4 M50.
  • The 2,200 kg kerb weight and 21-inch Pirelli P Zero tyres are unavoidable costs.

Who it suits

i30 N or Civic Type R upgraders making the EV step, trackday buyers wanting an electric car that can do repeat hot laps without thermal derating, and tech-first enthusiasts drawn to 800V charging plus the simulated N e-Shift.
