Hyundai’s first electric N model has already started something of a trend, with a few brands, including Porsche and BMW, now borrowing some of its signature features.

For the 2026 model year, Hyundai is upping the ante. Hyundai announced on Wednesday that the 2026 IONIQ 5 N has a “substantially lower starting price” at just $59,900, or $6,300 less than last year’s model.

“Our 2026 IONIQ 5 N is one of the most critically acclaimed models we’ve ever offered,” according to Ricky Lao, director of product planning at Hyundai Motor North America.

Despite the lower price, the new 2026 model brings a few updates. For one, the 2026 IONIQ 5 N now has a native NACS port, following the standard IONIQ 5, enabling access to Tesla Superchargers without an adapter.

why does a completely optional feature bother you? jist don't use it if you don't like it? it's not like the car's default mode has that enabled.

let hyindai make fun silly things for people that enjoy them for basically no extra cost.

Uh, it's a huge extra cost over the base model without all that fake bullshit.

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 1 points 1 day ago

No? The fake gears are not an option on the N model, it's standard.

Yes the N is more expensive. You think the fake gears is the only thing the N adds over the base model Ioniq 5?

I don't know that it is optional. Or that it can be disabled without disabling a bunch of other performance options.

Hyundai can obviously make whatever they want. And I reserve the right to dislike them.

It is off by default. You don't have to disable it.

It's a specific setting and a specific drive mode and you can have an "individual" drive mode with whatever settings you want.
