This distinction places the IONIQ 5 N among an exclusive group of vehicles recognized for setting new benchmarks in performance, innovation and everyday usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Autocar has been conducting its renowned road test for nearly a century. Its Five-Star Car award is reserved for vehicles that demonstrate exceptional performance across all categories. This year, only three models\u2013 including the IONIQ 5 N\u2013 earned this top distinction, reflecting the road test\u2019s rigorous standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IONIQ 5 N is Hyundai\u2019s first model to receive a Five-Star Car award from Autocar, with its road tester team commending the vehicle for its cutting-edge technology, dynamic capabilities and engaging driving experience\u2013 qualities rarely found in today\u2019s high-performance EVs. In its official review, Autocar described the IONIQ 5 N as a \u201cgame changer\u201d that is \u201cblindingly good fun and capable of rising to any occasion in dynamic terms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Powered by a dual-motor setup delivering up to 641 horsepower (with N Grin Boost-mode activated), the IONIQ 5 N accelerates from 0\u2013 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. But beyond raw speed, Autocar praised its N e-Shift function, which simulates gear changes and engine-braking characteristics typically found in internal combustion performance vehicles\u2013 enhancing driver engagement through a more immersive feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark Tisshaw, Autocar Editor, said, \u201cCars that truly change the game have always been vanishingly rare, and that remains true in the topsy-turvy era the automotive industry is currently weathering. Yet the IONIQ 5 N is just that: a game-changer. With the arrival of the N, the electric driver&#8217;s car has landed, and it\u2019s fully deserving of its perfect five-star Autocar road test.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IONIQ 5 N is the first all-electric model from Hyundai\u2019s N division, designed to deliver true driver involvement in the era of electrification. Built on Hyundai Motor Group\u2019s E-GMP platform, the vehicle features an advanced regenerative braking system, track-spec thermal management and dedicated performance vehicle control software inspired by motorsport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combined with a spacious interior, vehicle-to-load functionality (V2L), and advanced connectivity, the IONIQ 5 N redefines what a high-performance EV can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ashley Andrew, President of Hyundai &amp; Genesis UK, said, \u201cFrom the outset, the IONIQ 5 N has been a car that has demonstrated Hyundai\u2019s technological leadership, helping to change perceptions about the brand thanks to its wonderful performance, precision handling and genuine emotional engagement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is demonstrated yet again by the Five-Star Car award from Autocar \u2014 recognition of its success in one of the toughest and most revered road tests in the motor industry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autocar recognizes Hyundai Motor\u2019s first high-performance EV for redefining the electric driving experience IONIQ 5 N praised for its dynamic capability, innovation and everyday usability Five-Star Car award places IONIQ 5 N among a select group of top-performing vehicles evaluated by Autocar Hyundai Motor Company\u2019s first high-performance EV, the IONIQ 5 N, has been awarded &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":78108,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[964,3042],"class_list":["post-78107","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cars","tag-hyundai-motor","tag-ioniq-5-n"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 -
