Hyundai Ioniq 6 N Reviewed: Track-Bred EV Pairs 650 PS Punch With Daily Comfort

A Barcelona test drive finds Hyundai's performance claims borne out with surprising everyday comfort.

Overview

  • The road and circuit review reports engaging driver feedback from the N e-Shift simulated gear changes and the N Active Sound+ system.
  • Hyundai quotes up to 650 PS and 770 Nm, with 0–100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and a top speed around 257–260 km/h from the dual‑motor all‑wheel‑drive setup.
  • The 800V electrical architecture enables charging from 10% to 80% in about 18 minutes on suitable high‑power stations.
  • Chassis and aero changes include revised suspension geometry, added body rigidity and a swan‑neck rear wing, contributing to sharper handling and a 0.27 Cd drag figure.
  • Despite roughly 2,200 kg, the reviewer notes composed cornering, progressive drift behavior aided by N Drift Optimizer, and the availability of N Performance parts for track days.
