It's Official: The 2027 Hyundai IONIQ 6 N Is Coming to the U.S. in Spring 2027

It is now official: the Hyundai IONIQ 6 N is coming to the United States. Hyundai Motor America has listed the 2027 IONIQ 6 N in its model year updates on Hyundai News as an all-new model arriving in spring 2027, with full U.S. specifications.

The news ends months of uncertainty. In August, a rumor claimed the U.S. launch had been canceled, and Hyundai responded directly that the car was still on track. The timing has moved from 2026 to spring 2027, but the IONIQ 6 N is confirmed. It will also be the only new IONIQ 6 Americans can buy, since the facelifted regular IONIQ 6 is not coming to the U.S.

U.S. Specs: Up To 641 HP

• Power: 601 hp from a dual-motor AWD setup, and up to 641 hp and 568 lb-ft with N Grin Boost.

• Acceleration: 0–60 mph in about 3.2 seconds with N Launch Control.

• Top speed: 159 mph.

• Battery and range: 84.0 kWh battery with up to 245 miles of range.

• Charging: 800V system, 10–80% in about 18 minutes on a 350 kW DC fast charger. A NACS port is standard, with a CCS adapter.

N Performance Technology

The IONIQ 6 N brings the full set of Hyundai N's electric performance features:

• N e-Shift simulates gear changes, and N Active Sound+ adds selectable performance sounds.

• N Pedal uses regenerative braking to sharpen turn-in.

• N Torque Distribution lets the driver adjust the front-to-rear torque split, and N Drift Optimizer helps with controlled drifts.

• N Battery modes: Drag, Sprint and Endurance.

This hardware has already proved itself in Europe, where the IONIQ 6 N set a strong Nordschleife lap time in sport auto's supertest.

Design And Interior

On the outside, the U.S. car gets N-specific front and rear bumpers, wider fenders for a stance 60 mm wider than the regular IONIQ 6, 20-inch forged wheels with 275/35R20 Pirelli P Zero tires, a large swan-neck rear wing, a rear diffuser and orange accents.

Inside, there are lightweight N sport bucket seats with Alcantara inserts, an N steering wheel with N1 and N2 buttons, an N head-up display and blue accents. Equipment includes dual 12.3-inch screens, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bose audio, over-the-air updates, Digital Key 2 and Highway Driving Assist 2.

What About The Price?

Hyundai has not announced U.S. pricing yet. In September, a U.S. design patent suggested an announcement was close. For reference, the IONIQ 6 N starts at £65,800 in the UK. We will update this story when U.S. prices are confirmed.
