2025 IONIQ 5 N Horsepower and Acceleration

Powered by dual electric motors, the IONIQ 5 N outputs a staggering 601 horsepower and 568 lb-ft torque to all four wheels, resulting in an explosive 3.2 second 0-60 mph time. To compare, a decked-out 2023 IONIQ 5 will go from 0-60 mph in about 4.5 seconds, making the N variant 30% quicker than the "regular" IONIQ 5.  An additional feature dubbed "N Grin Boost" delivers 40 additional horses when activated, for a total of 641 horsepower. If that doesn't put a grin on your face, you either need a therapist or two more IONIQ 5 Ns. It's your call, but I'd go with the extra IONIQs.  Hyundai's new N EV is capable of reaching insane speeds, but for safety reasons has been limited to 162 mph.
