Soon after Hyundai unveiled the 2025 Ioniq 5 N in North American specification, the automaker invited journalists from around the world to put the new electric hot crossover through its paces in Korea. While we’ll have to wait until early next year to test out the new EV for ourselves, a newly-released gallery of the car shows it in all its splendor and is bound to get N enthusiasts giddy with excitement.
The gallery, featuring over 100 photos, showcases the Ioniq 5 N in various settings, including on the road and on the racetrack. It also offers a glimpse of the available color options for this model. In the U.S., customers can choose from colors such as Performance Blue Matte, Abyss Black Pearl, Ecotronic Gray Matte, Atlas White, and Soultronic Orange Pearl. However, in some other markets, gloss versions of Performance Blue and Ecotronic Gray, as well as White Matte and Gravity Gold Matte, are also available.

Regardless of the color, there’s no denying that the Ioniq 5 N stands out thanks to the futuristic design with some retro elements, sharp lines and creases, and the traditional bright red N accents. We’re particularly fond of the Ecotronic Gray Matte option as it accentuates key styling elements more than the glossy alternatives. It’s also worth noting that Soultronic Orange Pearl looks much more like red than it does orange.
All versions of the Ioniq 5 N, regardless of the market where they are sold, are underpinned by the same 84 kWh battery pack paired with a 223 hp front electric motor and a 378 hp rear electric motor. These motors combine to produce 601 hp but this figure jumps to 641 hp for 10-second bursts with the N Grin Boost function. Hyundai says the car needs just 3.25 seconds to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) or 3.4 seconds to reach 62 mph (100 km/h) and that it won’t stop accelerating until it hits an electronically-limited 162 mph (260 km/h).
Hyundai has not yet announced U.S. pricing for the Ioniq 5 N but it will come at a premium over the Kia EV6 GT. Carscoops expects it to sell in the mid-to-high $60,000 range and that’s before dealerships potentially start hitting it with markups.
