If you thought electric sedans were boring, the new Hyundai Ioniq 6 N will take your argument, douse it in kimchi, and send it out the exhaust… sorry, speaker. Which is, of course, pure nonsense!
With standard Ionic 6Boasting a record drag coefficient of 0.21, the N version looks like it was on steroids. Wider fenders (+30 mm), more aggressive bumpers and, above all, a huge swan-neck wing that 240 km/h generates 100 kg (220 lb) of thrust, increasing Cd to 0.27. The new Hyundai Ioniq 6 N and its wing make the rear end act like an airplane about to take off – great on the track, but in the Mercator parking lot it will look like you brought a half-replica of a GT3. Pixel LED lights and narrower “gunslit” daytime running lights on the nose add some Blade Runner drama, but at the same time lengthen the “dropped paw” look, which some even compare to the fall of sleeves on the basic six. So the question remains whether you will be admired as a pioneer or burned as a tuner amateur with the new black diffuser and trapezoidal slots on the bumpers. It looks more peppered than its brother Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.

Video gamer cabin with diploma
N e-Shift simulates an eight-speed DCT, while N Ambient Shift Light synchronizes the LED strip with the virtual gears. N Active Sound+ offers three profiles – Ignition, Evolution and Lightspeed – and any of them would make George Lucas smile. "If there's no petrol, at least there should be drama," Clarkson would cynically add.
