Hyundai Ioniq 6 N performance EV teased ahead of July reveal

Hyundai has officially teased the Ioniq 6 N all-electric performance sedan ahead of its global debut in July 2025. The tease came as part of the recent unveiling of the facelifted Ioniq 6 and its N Line variant, where the full-blown N model was spotted hiding in the background.

2. Will get 3-spoke steering, N-specific badges and drive modes, sports seats
3. 84kWh, dual-motor powertrain likely; 650hp, 0-100kph in 3.4 seconds, 448km range

The Ioniq 6 N’s formal reveal is scheduled for July 2025, possibly at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Gets two rear spoilers

Although the image partially shows off the Ioniq 6 N’s rear end, the performance EV is immediately recognisable thanks to the hallmark Performance Blue finish popularised by Hyundai’s N models. Furthermore, the Ioniq 6 N sports two rear spoilers – a ducktail extending from the boot, and a larger wing mounted right beneath the windshield – and the N logo is in clear view on the blacked-out tailgate.

The rear bumper includes a chunky diffuser, which looks to be inspired by Hyundai’s race-inspired RN22e concept car, and it gets red accents like other N models. While the front end remains a mystery for now, it’s expected to feature design elements similar to the newly revealed Ioniq 6 N Line, including sporty colour-contrasting strakes in the grille cover.

Simon Loasby, head of Hyundai Design, confirmed to our sister publication Autocar UK that the Ioniq 6 N’s design changes are intended to “maintain aerodynamic performance while achieving a smoother, more refined silhouette.” Loasby also revealed that the large rear wing was added to counter lift more effectively, and that the Ioniq 6 N will have wider fenders than the Ioniq 5 N.

Ioniq 6 N to offer exclusive interior features

The Ioniq 6 N’s cabin is anticipated to largely resemble that of the regular facelifted model, but include the performance features from the Ioniq 5 N like a three-spoke N steering wheel, N badging, exclusive drive mode buttons, sporty front bucket seats, and more.

Under the hood, the Ioniq 6 N will likely share the Ioniq 5 N’s 84kWh, dual-motor powertrain with simulated automatic gear shifts. This setup yields 650hp, a 0-100kph time of 3.4 seconds, and a top speed of 260kph in the Ioniq 5 N, with a WLTP-tested range of up to 448km.
