Hyundai has announced the full UK price list for its upcoming Hyundai Ioniq 6 N performance car, which is now available to order.
This high-performance ‘N’ variant of the Ioniq 6 saloon has been a long time coming – we last reported on it in July last year, and Hyundai stayed silent about the car’s UK launch until it opened its order books for the model this week.
Designed to “deliver an exhilarating and engaging driving experience”, Hyundai says that this sporty saloon is its most advanced ‘N’ model to date, featuring a redesigned suspension system, improvements to the ‘N e-Shift’ steering wheel paddles that simulate gear shifting, ‘better’ sound quality in the cabin and more horsepower than any of its ‘N’-badged siblings.
Power comes from the same 84kWh battery that powers the Ioniq 5 N, but with a small 9hp boost, delivering 650hp in total. With top speed electronically capped at 160mph, the Ioniq N can reportedly complete a 0-62mph sprint in 3.2 seconds – two tenths quicker than the Ioniq 5 N in the same race.
As the model has now launched, we can confirm that the Ioniq 6 N can muster up to 302 miles on a single charge – 36 miles less than the rear-wheel drive 77kWh Ioniq 6 ‘Long Range’.
Like all of Hyundai’s ‘N’-plated range, the saloon will be offered in the brand’s ‘performance blue pearl’ exterior colour scheme (though white, grey, black and gold colour schemes are also available), and ‘N’-branded alloys wrapped in Pirelli tyres that Hyundai says have been exclusively developed for this model.
The car comes with several track-focused tech features, including launch control, a drift optimiser, a ‘Boost’ setting that maximises acceleration for ten seconds and ‘Active Sound +’ which increases the engine soundtrack played in the cabin to provide “greater driver feedback.”
Pricing for the single-spec Hyundai Ioniq 6 N now starts at just under £66k before options.
