Hyundai IONIQ 5 N electric SUV has been crowned "Best EV of 2024" by The Drive. This accolade marks Hyundai’s second consecutive win, following last year’s recognition of the IONIQ 6. Competing against a lineup of pricier rivals, the IONIQ 5 N stood out for its cutting-edge technology and driving excitement.
Fulfilling Hyundai’s N brand ethos of creating "Everyday Sportscars," the IONIQ 5 N integrates advanced features like N e-Shift and N Active Sound+ to deliver a thrilling driving experience. N e-Shift mimics the feel of an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, offering precise torque control and an authentic gear-shift sensation. Paired with this, N Active Sound+ provides driver-selectable soundtracks—ranging from ICE-inspired roars to futuristic tones—amplified by a 10-speaker system.
