Hyundai’s high-performance Ioniq 6 N will make its global debut at the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed in July, marking another milestone in the brand’s electrified N division expansion. Fresh teaser images reveal aggressive styling cues, including a prominent twin-spoiler setup and an enlarged rear diffuser inspired by the radical RN22e concept.
While the front fascia remains partially concealed, the design takes clear inspiration from the sportier Ioniq 6 N Line, blending aerodynamic efficiency with a sleek profile. Hyundai’s styling team emphasized balancing form and function, ensuring the saloon maintains stability without sacrificing its streamlined aesthetic.
Simon Loasby, Hyundai’s VP of styling, hinted at standout features: “The massive rear wing isn’t just for show, it counters lift while complementing the car’s curves.” He also highlighted the model’s widened fenders, giving it an even more muscular stance than its Ioniq 5 N sibling.
Inside, the cabin will likely mirror the 5 N’s driver-focused layout, complete with a three-spoke steering wheel featuring dedicated N-mode controls and bolstered bucket seats. Performance specs remain under wraps, but expectations point to the same 641bhp dual-motor setup found in the 5 N, potentially with tweaks for enhanced output.
If Hyundai retains the 5 N’s acceleration figures, the Ioniq 6 N could hit 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds, rivaling combustion-powered benchmarks like the BMW M3. The inclusion of simulated gearshifts via paddle shifters further bridges the gap between electric and traditional performance driving experiences.
With its Goodwood debut just weeks away, the Ioniq 6 N promises to solidify Hyundai’s position in the high-performance EV segment, combining cutting-edge tech with unmistakable N division aggression.
