Based on the foundation of the IONIQ 6, the high performance variant is set to redefine high-performance electric vehicles when it hits the market in 2025. Hyundai’s recent debut of the IONIQ 5 N at the 2023 LA Auto Show signals the company’s commitment to expanding its N line-up, with the mentioned 6 N car poised to be a flagship in high-performance electric cars.
Albert Biermann, Hyundai Motor Group’s Technical Advisor, shared insights into the development of the IONIQ 6 N during the launch event of the IONIQ 5 N in Europe earlier this year. He expressed confidence, stating that the IONIQ 6 would be an exceptional vehicle for the N brand.
Report from Australian magazine Drive have highlighted about the 6 N’s development, drawing attention to Hyundai’s ‘Rolling Lab’ concept car unveiled last year. This concept car, known as ‘RN22e,’ is based on Hyundai’s dedicated electric vehicle platform, E-GMP, and incorporates the ‘Streamliner’ design from the IONIQ 6, showcasing the model’s high-performance potential.
As it prepares for its anticipated 2025 release, Hyundai is also set to transition to the next generation of its electric vehicle platform, ‘eM.’ This platform aims to enhance the electric driving experience by improving the single-charge range by over 50% compared to current electric cars. Additionally, it targets the integration of Level 3 autonomous driving technology and standardizing wireless updates.
Hyundai’s venture into high-performance electric vehicles with the IONIQ 6 N reflects the company’s commitment to innovation and sustainability. As the automotive industry continues to embrace electric mobility, Hyundai’s N brand is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of high-performance electric cars. Keep an eye on Hyundai as it paves the way for the next generation of electric vehicles with the 6 N and the advanced eM platform.
