Flared fenders, a wider stance, lightweight wheels and a large wing spoiler signal the IONIQ 6 N’s focus on aerodynamic efficiency and dynamic capability.

Embodying N’s three core performance pillars - ‘Corner Rascal’, ’Racetrack Capability’ and ‘Everyday Sports Car’ - the IONIQ 6 N is poised to deliver an exhilarating and intuitive driving experience.

“IONIQ 6 N will once again disrupt the high-performance EV segment to deliver exciting driving experiences to our fans.” said Joon Park, Vice President and Head of N Management Group. “We chose to debut the IONIQ 6 N at Goodwood Festival of Speed to be as close to our fans as possible”.

Designed to thrill driving enthusiasts, IONIQ 6 N introduces cutting-edge innovations in suspension geometry, immersive sound and drift control - showcasing the next level of N brand performance:

  • Fully Redesigned Suspension Geometry: The IONIQ 6 N capitalises on its low ride height (courtesy of its sedan silhouette) with bespoke suspension geometry. Enhancing its dynamic capabilities over IONIQ 5 N, the redesigned geometry features a lowered roll centre and enlarged caster trail[1] for improved on-centre feel, steering feedback and self-centring behaviour. The new electronically controlled stroke sensing (ECS) dampers promise a new level of driver confidence by delivering a refined balance of comfort and precise handling response.
  • Innovative N e-shift / N Active Sound +: Building on the success of IONIQ 5 N, IONIQ 6 N further elevates the driving experience with advanced N e-shift technology, now available in every drive mode and offering motorsport-inspired close gear ratios. Adding to the immersion is the debut of the ‘N Ambient Shift Light’, which visually indicates the precise shift points for optimal performance.
  • Enhanced N Drift Optimizer: Drivers can now fine-tune drift functionality with a broader range of customisation options, allowing tailored control based on their drifting proficiency. This enhanced feature underscores IONIQ 6 N’s commitment to providing an interactive driving experience, augmented by seamless implementation of advanced electronics.
