Reinforced Chassis, Bigger Dimensions
Hyundai has reinforced the Ioniq 5 N's chassis with 42 additional welding points, as well as reinforced motor and battery mounts.
The front and rear wheel drive systems are inspired by the World Rally Championship (WRC).
Hyundai has also added some body elements by making the Ioniq 5 N 80mm longer, and 50mm wider than the standard model.
The ground clearance is made 20 mm lower to get a better center of gravity. N Active Sound+ Features Generate Turbo Gasoline Engine Sounds
The Ioniq 5 N has two features that are claimed to help provide a more challenging driving experience.
First is the N e-shift, which can mimic the eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission found in ICE cars.
Next up is N Active Sound+, using 10 speakers with eight inside and two outside. N Active Sound+ has three themes, namely Ignition, Evolution and Supersonic.
N Active Sound+ can simulate exhaust tones from not only ICEs, but EVs as well. The ignition feature replicates the sound of a turbo-petrol engine.
Whereas the Evolution replicates the sound of an EV, and the Supersonic theme is inspired by a twin-engine fighter jet.
Hyundai says N Active Sound+ helps drivers feel how driving style and power are when these features are used.
