UK order books have opened for the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N, with the 641bhp super-saloon priced from £65,800.
Hyundai’s second electric performance car, it is significantly upgraded compared with the regular Ioniq 6.
In addition to the high-output dual-motor powertrain, which allows it to dispatch the 0-62mph sprint in 3.2sec and hit 160mph, it gets electrically-adjustable dampers and an electronic limited-slip differential.
Its 84kWh battery officially yields a range of 302 miles between charges.
The simulated sequential gearbox that was first offered on the Ioniq 5 N – and which was key to that car’s rave reviews – has been updated for the 6, with shorter ‘ratios’ and a new sound system.
Visual tweaks include a rear spoiler, front splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser. It sits on 20in alloy wheels with 275mm-wide Pirelli P-Zero tyres that are specific to the 6 N. Stopping power is provided by 400mm vented discs with four-piston calipers up front, and vented 360mm discs at the rear.
Inside, it gets an N-specific steering wheel with paddles for the simulated gearbox and extra controls for customising the car’s drive mode settings. It is also fitted with the same bucket seats as in the Ioniq 5 N.
It can be had in six paint finishes: pearlescent white paint is standard, while N’s signature blue, pearlescent black and metallic grey cost £750 extra. Matte gold and matte grey are £1250. A panoramic roof can be had for £1250.
