Ahead of its world premiere on July 10, 2025 at Goodwood Festival of Speed, Hyundai has unveiled the first technical details of the IONIQ 6 N, focusing on advanced handling, driver engagement, and aerodynamics.
Suspension & Handling Dynamics
Capitalizing on its low sedan profile, the IONIQ 6 N features a completely redesigned suspension geometry engineered for superior driver feedback and control:
- Lowered Roll Center: For enhanced stability and significantly reduced body roll during aggressive cornering.
- Enlarged Caster Trail: This key adjustment improves steering feedback, on-center feel, and the car’s self-centering behavior.
- New ECS Dampers: The IONIQ 6 N will debut new Electronically Controlled Stroke sensing (ECS) dampers, promising a refined balance between everyday comfort and precise, track-ready handling response.
Driver Engagement & Performance Systems
The immersive driving experience has been taken to the next level with key software and hardware upgrades:
- Upgraded N e-shift: The popular simulated gearshift technology is now available in all drive modes and features new motorsport-inspired close gear ratios.
- N Ambient Shift Light: A new visual system debuts, providing a clear indicator of the precise shift points to help the driver achieve optimal performance.
- Enhanced N Drift Optimizer: The system now provides a much broader range of customization, allowing drivers to tailor the car’s drift characteristics to their personal skill level.
IONIQ 6 N Aerodynamic & Design Features
Teaser images confirm that the IONIQ 6 N’s design is heavily focused on high-speed stability and aerodynamic efficiency:
- Wider Stance & Flared Fenders: To accommodate a performance-focused track width and improve mechanical grip.
- Motorsport-Inspired Swan-Neck Rear Spoiler: A functional aerodynamic element designed for increased downforce and stability.
- Lightweight Performance Wheels: To reduce unsprung mass, improving handling and suspension response.
