The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N: What We Know, Specs, and How It Compares to the Regular IONIQ 5 

The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N takes the innovative design of the IONIQ 5 and adds a high-performance element. For those in Ontario, CA and the greater Inland Empire looking for a high-performance electric car, the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is an exceptional option with its innovative high-tech approach and unique driving dynamics. At Ontario Auto Center, we’re excited to showcase the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N and explore what sets it apart from the competition. 

What Is the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N? 

The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is the newest addition to Hyundai’s N lineup, which is renowned for its performance-focused vehicles. The IONIQ 5 N adds a layer of performance that appeals to driving enthusiasts which sets it apart from the standard IONIQ 5. With a starting MSRP of $66,100, this model brings together the best of both worlds: the sustainability of an electric vehicle (EV) and the exhilarating driving experience of a high-performance car. 

Performance and Power: A Step Up from the Regular IONIQ 5 

The IONIQ 5 N takes power a step above the standard IONIQ 5. The IONIQ 5 N is equipped with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system that produces up to 641 horsepower with overboost. This represents a significant increase compared to the regular IONIQ 5, which maxes out at 320 horsepower in its most powerful variant. 

The IONIQ 5 N can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in the low 3 second range which makes it one of the quickest electric SUVs on the market. This acceleration is made possible by the N Grin Boost mode, which temporarily increases power for short bursts of speed. 

Handling and Driving Experience 

The handling of the IONIQ 5 N has been deliberately fine-tuned for a more engaging driving experience. The vehicle features an N-tuned suspension system, offering a firmer and more responsive ride compared to the regular IONIQ 5. Additionally, the IONIQ 5 N comes with an electronically controlled limited-slip differential which enhances traction and stability particularly during aggressive cornering. 

Hyundai has also introduced a “N Sound + mode” in the IONIQ 5 N. This feature simulates the sound of a high-performance engine through the vehicle’s speakers, adding an auditory layer to the driving experience for those who enjoy the sound of an engine.  

Battery Range and Charging Time 

The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is powered by a 84 kWh battery and has an estimated range of 221 miles from a full charge. In contrast, the regular IONIQ 5 can achieve up to 303 miles on a full charge, depending on the configuration. 

Charging the IONIQ 5 N is quick and convenient, thanks to its 800-volt architecture. The vehicle supports ultra-fast charging, allowing it to charge from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes when using a 350 kW DC fast charger. This quick recharging ability provides reassurance for those looking to enter the EV market but may have worries regarding charge times.  

Design and Exterior Features 

The 2025 IONIQ 5 N retains much of the futuristic design language of the regular IONIQ 5, but with some distinct enhancements that signal its performance capabilities. This EV features more aggressive front and rear bumpers, larger air intakes, and a rear spoiler designed to improve aerodynamics. The vehicle also rides on 21-inch alloy wheels, which are exclusive to the N model, adding to its sporty appearance. 

The 2025 IONIQ 5 N continues the minimalist, tech-focused design inside the cabin that is also seen in the standard variant but adds touches that emphasize its performance pedigree. The interior features N-branded sports seats, an N steering wheel, and unique interior trim options. 

Technology and Infotainment 

Both the IONIQ 5 N and the standard IONIQ 5 are equipped with Hyundai’s latest infotainment system, featuring a 12.3-inch touchscreen display and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. However, the IONIQ 5 N features additional N-specific features within the infotainment system, such as performance data, a lap timer, and custom drive mode settings. 

This EV also comes with Hyundai’s latest driver assistance technologies, including Highway Driving Assist 2, which combines adaptive cruise control with lane-centering to provide a semi-autonomous driving experience. These features are shared with the standard variant, ensuring that safety and convenience are not compromised in the pursuit of performance. 

Warranty and Maintenance 

Both the 2025 IONIQ 5 N and the regular IONIQ 5 come with Hyundai’s industry-leading warranty, which includes a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty, and a 7-year/unlimited-mile anti-perforation warranty. Additionally, Hyundai offers complimentary maintenance for 3 years or 36,000 miles, covering oil changes, tire rotations, and multi-point inspections. This warranty coverage is a very significant selling point for both models, ensuring peace of mind for owners. 

Conclusion: Which IONIQ 5 Is Right for You? 

As emphasized, the key differences between the standard IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 5 N lie in performance, handling, and design. The IONIQ 5 N is the clear choice for those who prioritize driving excitement and are willing to exchange some efficiency for enhanced performance. The standard IONIQ 5 offers better range and a more comfortable ride, making it ideal for those who prioritize efficiency and practicality in their EV. Ultimately, choosing amongst these two innovative electric vehicles come down to your preferences and lifestyle.
