Hyundai has released teaser images of the upcoming Ioniq 6 N, its latest all-electric performance sedan, ahead of a scheduled global debut in July 2025. Based on the standard Ioniq 6, this version receives several design and mechanical upgrades under Hyundai’s N performance.
Sportier Exterior Design
The teaser images indicate significant visual changes. Compared to the standard model, the Ioniq 6 N features a more aggressive exterior, including larger air intakes, a lower ride height, wider side skirts, larger wheels, and what appears to be a performance-oriented rear diffuser. The car also wears the N division badging, suggesting a more track-capable version of the regular EV.
Performance Expectations
Technical specifications have not yet been officially confirmed, but it is expected to share its powertrain with the Ioniq 5 N. If so, the Ioniq 6 N may come equipped with dual electric motors and all-wheel drive, delivering around 650 horsepower and around 770 NM of torque. This setup would likely position it as one of Hyundai’s quickest production vehicles in terms of acceleration. Performance enhancements may include a stiffer suspension setup, improved regenerative braking tuned for dynamic driving, and a dedicated drift mode, features seen on the Ioniq 5 N. Simulated engine sounds, designed to replicate traditional performance car acoustics, might also be included to provide driver feedback.
India Launch Possibility
Regarding market availability, Hyundai has not confirmed whether the Ioniq 6 N will launch in India. However, the Ioniq 5 is already available in the country, and Hyundai has expressed continued interest in expanding its EV presence. If introduced, the Ioniq 6 N would likely arrive as a completely built-up (CBU) unit due to its performance positioning.
The Indian market has already seen entries like the BMW i4 and Kia EV6, which compete in the premium electric segment. The Ioniq 6 N, if launched locally and priced competitively, could offer an alternative for buyers looking for performance-oriented EVs.
