Hyundai is gearing up to make waves in the electric vehicle market with the upcoming Ioniq 6 N, a performance saloon that promises to shake things up, especially for fans of high-performance cars. Set to be unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed next month, this sleek machine is not just about looks; it\u2019s about delivering a thrilling driving experience that could rival traditional powerhouses like the BMW M3.<\/p>\n

What Makes the Ioniq 6 N Stand Out?<\/p>\n

At first glance, the Ioniq 6 N is a head-turner. With its twin rear spoilers and an aggressive diffuser inspired by the RN22e concept car, it\u2019s clear that Hyundai is serious about performance. The design tweaks aren\u2019t just for show; they aim to enhance aerodynamic efficiency while maintaining a refined silhouette. Simon Loasby, Hyundai\u2019s vice president of styling, emphasizes the importance of countering lift with the car\u2019s new features, stating, \u201cThe huge wing… we need to counter the lift.\u201d <\/p>\n

The wider fenders add to the car’s sporty stance, giving it a more aggressive look that enthusiasts will appreciate. Who doesn\u2019t love a wide body? This design philosophy not only enhances aesthetics but also contributes to the car’s overall performance.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Under the Hood?<\/p>\n

When it comes to power, the Ioniq 6 N is expected to share its heart with the Ioniq 5 N, featuring a dual-motor setup that delivers a staggering 641bhp. This powertrain is designed to mimic the feel of a traditional internal combustion engine, complete with a dual-clutch sequential gearbox and shift paddles for that authentic driving experience. Imagine launching from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds\u2014this saloon is poised to compete with some of the best in the business.<\/p>\n

Hyundai might even push the power output beyond what\u2019s found in the Ioniq 5 N, making the Ioniq 6 N an even more formidable contender in the performance arena. It\u2019s not just about speed, though; the Ioniq 6 N is also expected to feature an 84.0kWh battery that could push its range closer to the 300-mile mark, thanks to its aerodynamic design. That\u2019s a significant improvement over the Ioniq 5 N\u2019s 278-mile range, making it a practical choice for both daily commutes and spirited drives.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Inside the Ioniq 6 N?<\/p>\n

Step inside, and you\u2019ll find a cabin that\u2019s just as focused on performance as the exterior. Borrowing elements from the Ioniq 5 N, the interior is expected to feature a three-spoke steering wheel with N-specific drive-mode buttons and supportive front bucket seats designed for spirited driving. It\u2019s all about creating an immersive experience that keeps the driver engaged and connected to the road.<\/p>\n

When Can You Get Your Hands on One?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re eagerly anticipating the Ioniq 6 N, you won\u2019t have to wait long. It\u2019s expected to hit UK showrooms this winter, with prices likely starting just below \u00a370,000. For those looking to combine the thrill of performance with the benefits of electric driving, the Ioniq 6 N could be the perfect match.<\/p>\n

The big takeaway? The Ioniq 6 N isn\u2019t just about being an electric alternative; it\u2019s about redefining what electric performance can be. With its blend of style, power, and innovative design, it\u2019s set to challenge the status quo in the performance saloon segment. Keep an eye out for its debut at Goodwood, and get ready to experience a new era of driving excitement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Electric saloon\u2019s transformation into BMW M3 alternative brings twin spoilers and big power boost<\/p>\n

\n

Hyundai<\/a> has confirmed its\u00a0new Ioniq 6 N performance saloon will be revealed at Goodwood Festival of Speed next month.<\/p>\n

Alongside the announcement, it has released new images of the hot saloon, showing its\u00a0twin rear spoilers and\u00a0a chunky diffuser that draws on that fitted to the extreme <\/span>RN22e concept car<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although not fully shown, the front end of the new Ioniq 6 N\u00a0draws on the sporty new N Line variant of the standard Ioniq 6<\/a>, which was updated earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The changes are intended to \u201cmaintain aerodynamic performance while achieving a smoother, more refined silhouette\u201d, Hyundai said.<\/p>\n

Asked what else we can expect, Simon Loasby, vice president of Hyundai styling, said:\u00a0\u201cThe huge wing. You\u2019ve got all those curves on top so we need to counter the lift.<\/p>\n

“Compared to Ioniq 5 N, we\u2019ve had the chance to widen the fenders (who doesn\u2019t love a wide body?) so it\u2019s got even more stance, even more squat and even more cool factory.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Inside, the Ioniq 6 N is expected to borrow key components from the Ioniq 5 N<\/a>\u00a0crossover, such as its three-spoke steering wheel with N-specific drive-mode buttons, as well as its more supportive front bucket seats.<\/p>\n

Power is most likely to come from the same 641bhp dual-motor powertrain used by the Ioniq 5 N.<\/p>\n

This is capable of replicating the power delivery of an internal combustion engine mated to a dual-clutch sequential gearbox,\u00a0complete with shift paddles for simulated gears.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible that Hyundai will boost\u00a0this set-up for the Ioniq\u00a06 N, but a 0-62mph time of 3.4sec (as in the Ioniq 5 N) would put the saloon on a par with ICE mainstays such as the BMW M3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Ioniq 5 N also packs an 84.0kWh battery that officially yields a range of 278 miles, although it\u2019s likely that the more aerodynamic Ioniq 6 N\u00a0will boost this nearer to the 300-mile mark.<\/p>\n

It’s likely to arrive in UK showrooms this winter.<\/span>\u00a0Prices are predicted to start just south of \u00a370,000.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":65264,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,137],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-featured","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65263"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65263\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65264"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
