Hyundai is gearing up to unveil its latest performance saloon, the Ioniq 6 N, at the upcoming Goodwood Festival of Speed. This new model is not just a sleek electric vehicle; it\u2019s a bold contender in the world of high-performance cars, aiming to rival heavyweights like the BMW M3. With a blend of cutting-edge design and impressive power, the Ioniq 6 N is set to turn heads and redefine what we expect from electric saloons.<\/p>\n

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

The Ioniq 6 N is designed to capture the essence of performance while maintaining an aerodynamic profile. The latest images reveal striking features, including twin rear spoilers and a robust diffuser inspired by the RN22e concept car. These enhancements not only look aggressive but also serve a functional purpose\u2014improving downforce and stability at high speeds.<\/p>\n

Hyundai\u2019s vice president of styling, Simon Loasby, hinted at the car’s design philosophy, emphasizing the need for balance between aesthetics and performance. The wider fenders give the Ioniq 6 N a more planted stance, enhancing its sporty appeal. It\u2019s clear that Hyundai is not just focusing on looks; they\u2019re engineering a vehicle that performs as good as it looks.<\/p>\n

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

Expect the Ioniq 6 N to pack a serious punch. It\u2019s anticipated to feature the same dual-motor powertrain as the Ioniq 5 N, delivering an exhilarating 641 horsepower. This setup mimics the power delivery of traditional internal combustion engines, complete with a dual-clutch sequential gearbox and shift paddles for that authentic driving experience. If Hyundai boosts this configuration further, we could see a 0-62 mph time that rivals some of the best in the business\u2014around 3.4 seconds, putting it toe-to-toe with the likes of the BMW M3.<\/p>\n

The Ioniq 6 N is not just about speed, though. It\u2019s equipped with an 84.0 kWh battery that offers a range of approximately 278 miles. Given its aerodynamic design, there\u2019s a good chance this range could edge closer to 300 miles, making it a practical choice for both daily commutes and spirited drives.<\/p>\n

What Can You Expect Inside?<\/p>\n

Step inside the Ioniq 6 N, and you\u2019ll find a cabin that reflects its performance-oriented nature. Drawing inspiration from the Ioniq 5 N, it\u2019s likely to feature a sporty three-spoke steering wheel with dedicated buttons for different driving modes, along with supportive bucket seats designed for spirited driving. The interior is expected to blend comfort with functionality, ensuring that every drive feels engaging.<\/p>\n

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

The Ioniq 6 N is set to hit UK showrooms this winter, with prices anticipated to start just below \u00a370,000. For those looking to make a statement in the electric vehicle market, this saloon promises to deliver both style and substance.<\/p>\n

The big takeaway? The Ioniq 6 N isn\u2019t just about being another electric car; it\u2019s about redefining performance in the EV segment. With its blend of power, design, and technology, it\u2019s poised to be a game-changer. If you\u2019re in the market for a high-performance electric saloon, keep an eye on this one\u2014it could very well be worth the wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

\"IONIQ<\/a><\/p>\n

Electric saloon\u2019s transformation into a 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 the Goodwood Festival of Speed next month.<\/p>\n

The company has also released new images of the hot saloon, showing its\u00a0twin rear spoilers and\u00a0a chunky diffuser influenced by the one 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, said Hyundai.<\/p>\n

Asked what else we can expect, Simon Loasby, vice president of Hyundai styling group, 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 adopt 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 gearchanges.<\/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 with 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

The car is likely to arrive in UK showrooms this winter.<\/span>\u00a0Prices are predicted to start at just below \u00a370,000.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":65276,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,137],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65275","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\/65275","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=65275"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65275\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
