With the success of Hyundai IONIQ 5, the 'N' version of the all-electric hatchback was nearly inevitable. The South Korean automaker has confirmed the model for 2023. The car will flaunt sporty body panels to differentiate it from the standard model. It will likely have the same 77.4kWh battery pack and a 577hp/740Nm dual-motor powertrain from its cousin, the Kia EV6 GT.
