Hyundai Ioniq 6 N is a 650-horsepower EV that fakes it to make it
Hyundai's high-performance N division has finally revealed the full details for its latest creation, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N. It might look like the brand's "electrified streamliner" sedan, but this version is a track-focused monster.
It borrows the best bits from the celebrated Ioniq 5 N and turns them up to 11, adding new hardware and software. The company is currently letting journalists test the car at the Korea International Circuit, and it confirmed a global launch for early 2026.
When it comes to electric cars, the first question is always about power, and the Ioniq 6 N delivers. Its dual-motor system produces a standard 609 horsepower (448 kW). But a press of the "N Grin Boost" button unleashes the full 650 horsepower (478 kW) and 770 Nm of torque for 10 seconds.
This allows the sedan to rocket from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds using N Launch Control, and it will keep pulling to a top speed of 257 km/h. The power comes from two motors, a 166 kW unit in the front and a more powerful 282 kW motor in the rear, giving it a rear-biased feel.
But Hyundai's N brand insists its cars are not just about straight-line speed. They are built to follow three rules: "Corner Rascal," "Racetrack Capability," and "Everyday Sportscar." To earn the "Corner Rascal" name, the Ioniq 6 N's body and chassis are much stronger than the standard car. Engineers added dozens of extra weld points and more structural adhesive to make the frame stiffer, allowing the completely redesigned suspension to do its job.
The car features a lowered roll center for better stability, new bushings, and smart "stroke-sensing" Electronically Controlled Suspension (ECS) dampers. An electronic limited-slip differential (e-LSD) at the rear helps manage all that power and pull the car through turns.

Hyundai Ioniq 3 spotted in the wild - coming to Europe next year
Hyundai is jumping into the compact EV class with a brand-new vehicle: the Ioniq 3. This car will join the successful Ioniq family, acting as a smaller sibling to the popular Ioniq 5. But the Ioniq 3 isn't just a shrunken version of its predecessors. Hyundai first showed off this new direction at the Munich Motor Show in September with the "Concept Three."
The idea behind the design is what Hyundai calls "Art of Steel," a look inspired by the company’s advanced steel manufacturing technology. The car’s profile is dubbed the "Aero Hatch," which the company describes as a fresh approach to the compact EV silhouette. It has a sleek, almost hot-hatch-like body and finishes with a unique ducktail spoiler at the back.
Despite this radical silhouette, Hyundai kept some familiar visual cues from the other Ioniq models. The front and rear both feature the distinctive Parametric Pixel lights - a signature design element that helps tie the car to the larger Ioniq lineup. Recent sightings of prototypes in South Korea and Europe - some with very little camouflage - show that the production version of the Hyundai Ioniq 3 will stick closely to the bold styling of the Concept Three.
The development of the Ioniq 3 is officially part of what Hyundai refers to as “the next step in the company’s electrification journey.” The company plans to start production early in 2026, and the manufacturing will take place at Hyundai’s facility in Turkey, with customer deliveries scheduled to begin shortly after the production line starts rolling.
