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.

That's a pretty car, especially in the non-standard colors. Only complaints: boot is a tad small (because the whole car is a tad small) and the Android-based interface and the physical knobs etc is a bit shit.

If you're used to mid-size sedans and wagons, the Ioniq 5's exterior dimensions are in fact pretty small. This necessitates either a small boot, a small interior, or both. From my testing of the Ioniq 5, I'd say the interior was fine (not particularly spacious, but not super cramped), so that leaves the boot.

compared to (ICE) sedans the difference is the shorter engine compartment. The Ioniq5 is also quite wide and high (at least to my standards).

comparison vs toyota camry:

cargo space: 527 l (ioniq) vs 428 l (camry)
