With a starting price of approximately £65,800 / €78,000 / $85,000 (market dependent), it arrives with a standard comprehensive vehicle and battery warranty.

Body Style and Size Segment

The IONIQ 6 N is a D-segment four-door fastback sedan. Designed for maximum aerodynamic efficiency, it features a low, sleek profile with a drag coefficient of just 0.27. It measures approximately 4,855 mm in length, 1,880 mm in width, and 1,495 mm in height, offering a spacious cabin while maintaining a hunkered-down, performance-oriented stance.

Platform Architecture

Built on Hyundai’s dedicated 800V E-GMP platform, the IONIQ 6 N utilizes a high-density 84 kWh Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese (NCM) battery. It produces up to 650 PS (478 kW) and 770 Nm of torque, sprinting from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in just 3.2 seconds. Its top speed is electronically limited to 257 km/h (160 mph). The WLTP range is rated at 487 km (303 miles).

Technical Capabilities

The model features “N Grin Boost,” “N e-Shift” (simulating gear changes), and “N Active Sound+.” It comes packed with Hyundai SmartSense™ safety features, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2.0, Lane Following Assist, and Highway Driving Assist 2. It supports V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) for powering external devices.

Quality & Warranty

The interior is finished with premium, sustainable materials and bolstered sports bucket seats. Storage includes a small “frunk” for charging cables and a standard-sized rear boot. Hyundai provides a comprehensive 5-year unlimited mileage vehicle warranty and an 8-year/160,000 km battery warranty.

App Functionality

The “Bluelink™” connected car services app allows users to manage battery conditioning, monitor charging status, pre-condition the cabin, remotely lock/unlock the vehicle, and track live vehicle diagnostics. It also supports Over-The-Air (OTA) software updates.

3 Pros and 3 Cons

  • Pros: World-class track performance (7:35 Nürburgring lap); highly engaging “N” drive modes that mimic ICE cars; industry-leading 800V ultra-fast charging.

  • Cons: Higher price point compared to standard EVs; interior plastics don’t feel as premium as some European rivals; complex infotainment settings can be overwhelming for casual users.

SmartGrandads View

The IONIQ 6 N is the ideal choice for driving enthusiasts who want supercar-killing performance without sacrificing four-door practicality. It competes directly with the Tesla Model 3 Performance and BMW i4 M50. Currently rolling out across major global markets, including Europe, Australia, and South Korea, it stands as a testament to Hyundai’s commitment to making electric vehicles genuinely exciting.
