Hyundai brought its most extreme electric car to Los Angeles—the IONIQ 6 N. The U.S. debut marks an important step in expanding the N lineup as it moves into the era of high-performance EVs. A limited U.S. release is slated for 2026.The IONIQ 6 N was developed around three N-brand principles: Corner Rascal, Racetrack Capability, and Everyday Sportscar. The suspension and chassis geometry have been thoroughly reworked: a lowered roll center, a stiffer body, stroke-sensing dampers, and an e-LSD aim to boost stability and sharpen response. On paper, it reads like a setup you can lean on in fast transitions without sacrificing precision.Aerodynamics take a step up with a swan-neck rear wing, widened fenders, and a drag coefficient of 0.27. Two electric motors deliver a combined 601 hp, rising to 641 hp with N Grin Boost, which brings 0–60 mph in roughly 3.2 seconds. The figures place it squarely among serious performance sedans.The car features the N e-Shift virtual gearbox, three Active Sound+ profiles, and modes such as Launch Control, Drift Optimizer, and Torque Distribution with 11 levels of adjustment. The drive-mode toolkit looks both playful and purposeful, suggesting a broad range between fun and precision.An 84-kWh battery supports preconditioning tailored to different types of runs and can charge from 10 to 80 percent in 18 minutes. That combination should help the car stay consistent and keep stops brief.Inside, the cabin is finished in black with Performance Blue accents, sports seats, and an exclusive N steering wheel. The overall look keeps the theatrics in check and puts the focus on driving.
