the 2025 hyundai ioniq n will land with an almost 70 000 price tag

Hyundai is expanding its “N” performance line with the new electric Ioniq 5 N, which will land as a 2025 model. The automaker recently priced the hot EV, making it the most expensive vehicle in its lineup in the United States.

The Ioniq 5 N comes with a hefty $67,475 price tag, which includes a $1,375 destination charge. That price makes it more expensive than the Hyundai Nexo fuel cell vehicle by about five grand and a whopping $25,000 pricier than the cheapest “regular” Ioniq 5. It’s also around $5,000 more than the Kia EV6 GT, the closest rival to the Ioniq 5 N.

Of course, that money buys a lot of performance and plenty of features. Hyundai is selling the EV as a single trim, so it gets all the goodies that would otherwise cost extra. In addition to the power output, which at 601 horsepower and up to 641 ponies with temporary boost engaged, is prodigious and a low-three-second 0-60 mph time, it gets a sporty but well-trimmed interior, plenty of tech, and a load of safety kit.

Hyundai also made substantive updates to the Ioniq 5’s propulsion system, including an upgraded thermal management system to prevent battery damage during extreme track driving. Selectable drive modes let the driver dial in performance and energy consumption. The Endurance mode limits peak power output to conserve battery on the track, while Sprint gives full juice for the fastest lap times.

Inside, the hot SUV gets a unique steering wheel design with the N logo and a center console optimized for track driving. It offers a knee pad and shin support, and the armrests are adjustable. Finally, its sport seats come wrapped in synthetic suede and offer heating and ventilation.

Seems silly to quibble about a $67k Hyundai Ioniq in a world of $77k Dodge Durango SRTs that the Hyundai would show its taillights to.

  I’d gladly pay that for an SRT Durango. I also wouldn’t pay a third of that for the garbage Hyundai EV.
  And thats the difference between ICE and EVs.

  Sure, if you're renting it for a day.
  If you're buying it? The Dodge will show its taillights to that Kia the first time they drove down a gravel road and the Kia stopped because a rock scratched it.
  Or after 3 years, when the Dodge still has value and the Kia...doesn't.

  The SRT can just go fast; it is in no way a track vehicle.
  While BEVs depreciate at a rapid rate, the N should hold its value better due to the rarity of track capable BEVs.

WAIT! We all know Hyundai’s and Kia’s MO. We wait a few months, let the full priced guys buy their cars. We get I5N at steep discounts. The EV6 GT are selling at 45-47k with a few thousand miles on them. New, they are selling 10k off MSRP. No difference for the I5N!

Daniel J The real problem I see is it's about 8K too much. I'd prefer a lower trim but they don't offer enough HP for my tastes.
Teddyc73 Beautiful color, although the overused black wheels detract from it. It's nice to see a car in an interesting color instead of the also grossly overused dull greys.
Master Baiter If you rear-end someone, it's your fault, period. If motorcycles need more time to stop, then riders need to increase their following distance.
Master Baiter Until recently, virtually every cell phone and computer was made in China and no one seemed to care. The majority are still built there. I'm not a fan of tariffs as it just gives domestic makers a price umbrella to sell their garbage products to U.S. consumers at higher prices.
Teleedle It would seem that if the Chinese made cars and trucks are ready to compete on the world market that they should be able to compete without the need for government help through subsidies. That's never going to happen with the mindset of their leadership. The rate at which they've transferred the ability to copy to the rate of their abilities to innovate isn't really astounding, but it is truly indicative of their inherent abilities to see through problems and overcome without a lot of fuss. They just have a different way that seems to continually baffle the Western mind. It only goes back a few thousand years. The rest of the world just has to catch up... Without tariffs, three Seagulls could be bought for the price of one loaded Toyota Corolla. I would settle for a nice small pickup truck that can get 30-35 mpg, if the Chinese want to build something with real durability and value. I'm sure they can do that for about $10-12k US, too, dumping them all the way to the bank. Neither Trump or Biden or Bugbrain want that, though. Restrictive 'targeted' tariff ideas indicate that they all want protectionism and the Chicken Tax to continue. The price of living in freedum in the non compete world... and the hallmark of one upmanship by the political class towards more and more expensive transportation related needs. All costs are ALWAYS passed onto the end consumer. Tariffs are the burden of the extra cost. Tariffs are punitive, remember... as intended. The political class is still living off the backs of their constituents throughout the world... same as it ever was.
