Hyundai is gearing up to heat things up in the electric performance segment once again. After showcasing the Ioniq 6 facelift and the stylish N Line version, the South Korean automaker has now teased the full-blown Hyundai Ioniq 6 N—and it’s going to be a proper beast. The official unveiling is set to take place at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK, scheduled from July 10 to 13, 2025.
This new teaser has got us excited, and for good reason. If you thought the Ioniq 6 was sleek before, wait till you see what the N treatment does to it.
What’s New in the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N?
From the teasers, it’s clear Hyundai isn’t holding back. The Ioniq 6 N sports wider fenders, lightweight alloy wheels, a revised front bumper, and a massive rear spoiler. That spoiler isn’t just for looks—it’s been added to improve aerodynamic efficiency and high-speed stability. The car also features pixel-style DRLs (daytime running lights), giving it a futuristic touch that matches its high-performance identity.
We can also expect larger brakes, grippier tires, and other track-focused hardware similar to what we saw on the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, which was a big hit among performance EV fans.
Looks Inspired by the Facelift
This Ioniq 6 N is based on the 2026 facelift of the regular Ioniq 6. That means it features slimmer LED headlamps, a more aggressive front splitter, and a raised bonnet. Gone is the subtle ducktail spoiler from the standard model. In its place, we get a bold rear wing, which is both functional and eye-catching.
These design changes aren’t just about making the car look aggressive—they’re meant to complement the performance underneath. Hyundai’s N division has done a good job blending visual appeal with purpose-driven design.
Performance: What We Expect
Hyundai hasn’t officially revealed the powertrain specs, but rumors—and logic—suggest that the Ioniq 6 N will likely borrow the same 650hp AWD setup from the Ioniq 5 N. That setup includes dual electric motors driving all four wheels and offers incredible acceleration and performance.
For context, the current Ioniq 6 models offer a maximum of 321hp in the dual-motor AWD variant. So jumping up to 650hp would be a massive upgrade and put the Ioniq 6 N in serious performance territory—easily rivaling electric sports sedans like the Tesla Model 3 Performance or even higher-end EVs.
What Makes the N Badge Special?
Hyundai’s N lineup has been making waves in the auto industry. From the i30 N to the Kona N and now the Ioniq 5 N, every N model is engineered to offer thrilling driving dynamics, whether it’s powered by gasoline or electricity.
The N badge isn’t just for show. It stands for Namyang, Hyundai’s global R&D center, and the Nürburgring, the world-famous racetrack in Germany where all N cars are tested. So, when we say the Ioniq 6 N will be performance-focused, we mean it.
