Making Every Corner Electric With the IONIQ 5 N

Speaker 1:
Anybody can go fast in the straights…

Speaker 2:
But it’s the corners that separates the real driver from the rest.

Speaker 3:
This ability is the result of hours upon hours of going back to the grind.

Speaker 2:
A decade of know-how and data under our belt, mastering just that; corners.

Speaker 3:
Now, the next chapter of N begins.

Speaker 1:
Electrifying Corner Rascal.

Speaker 3:
Of course, we asked ourselves these questions when we first began. N’S approach has never been about just blindly increasing power. Regardless of what powers the vehicle, Nthusiasts should be able to enjoy the fierce, yet confident cornering abilities of an N model. As much as we are confident, it was an uphill battle with mountains to climb.

N Pedal

The first hurdle was the weight factor. The heavier the car, the harder it becomes for the driver in high-speed corners. We needed a solution to maintain control of the weight while enhancing agility. Because confidence in cornering is critical for high performance. We developed the N Pedal, based off a typical EV’s regenerative braking technology. Reinterpreting the system to enable more aggressive weight transfer and instant throttle response. Resulting in sharper corner entry and immediate corner exits. Drivers can expect acute control and response with just this N pedal.

Speaker 2:

N Torque Distribution

The second challenge was bringing the cornering behavior of a WRC car to the roads. Just like our championship-winning WRC cars, the IONIQ 5 N is N’s first four-wheel drive. With the IONIQ 5 N, we wanted to offer complete control for the driver. N Torque Distribution offers fully variable front and rear torque distribution through powerful motors on each axle.

The driver can create a customized setting optimized for the ultimate cornering performance under any environment. Choose your setting and enjoy WRC-inspired handling.

What would you say is the most fun cornering experience? Definitely drifting.

N Drift Optimer

So why not share the thrill of drifting with more drivers? Controlling a 650PS beast can never be easy, so we needed to think out of the box. N Drift Optimizer intelligently maintains the drift angle by responding in real-time, collaborating with all related hardware and software. Once you’re done, the front motors immediately re-engage making full acceleration. Now, you’ve mastered the art of drifting with confidence for more.
For the love of driving, we went further to unleash the full potential of this beast.

Speaker 1:
The IONIQ 5 N Drift Spec introduced at Goodwood Festival of Speed, achieves all that it had and more.

Speaker 3:
With speed, style, and precision despite minimal modifications.

Speaker 2:
With nothing but the imagination of petrol heads, and the courage to push forward, this is how we braved the unbeaten path.

Speaker 1:
What other possibilities will IONIQ 5 N come up with next?
