@@gabenchrist7331 uh how about telling someone from 10 years ago that in just 8 years tesla would release a tri motor 1,020hp super sedan plaid that could do 0-60mph in under 2s and run low 9s bone stock on as st tires? Yet here we are and a plaid is now 89k to start. 🤣
@@4literv6Honestly Tesla isn't the best thing to tell to someone... Plus here we're talking about unexcepted cars. Teslas were already quite quick back then (Roadster and maybe the pre release Model S).
People criticize IONIQ 5N by its sound and clutch are all fake. However, it is an option that only Hyundai can provide that other companies do not. The EU will ban the sale of internal combustion engines within a few decades, and not only in the EU, but in many countries as well. In this situation, Hyundai's attempt to transplant the advantages of the internal combustion engine into an electric vehicle deserves praise. Also, they work very well and make the driving experience smoother and enhance the fun. These options can be turned off at any time, and the '650hp' & '0-100 in 3.4 sec' BEAST can be transformed into the normal IONIQ 5, one of the best family EVs, anytime. It has all the same conveniences such as enormous interior space and V2L. The best part of the IONIQ 5N is not numbers like '0-100 3.4sec' or '650hp' (although it is already powerful enough). Ilt has the best driving feel and cornering and tremendous chassis performance of any EV under $100K currently. IONIQ 5N recorded a lap time of 7min 45sec at the Nürburgring. It is similar to Porsche Taycan and Model S Plaid. EV's output drastically decreases after driving at maximum speed a few times due to the heat of the battery. However, the IONIQ 5N remains fine even if driven at full power all day. Hyundai may not the best in EV technology, but it has the world's best technology in battery heat management. Tesla's '1000hp' is only a peak number. I think sustainability of power is more important. If this car was made by a German brand like BMW it would start at at least $150K. But IONIQ 5N starts at $65K. This is by far the best value options for anyone considering a sporty EV.
I test drove this car a few days ago and it is a lot of fun indeed! The fake shifting and engine noise serve a good purpose in connecting you to the car more, and even my family, who test drove it with me, liked the engine noise the best of all the sounds. It sounds silly, but it helps to make the transition fun and engaging. The car is a bit high and heavy for a sports car (I usually drive an Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce), but the engineers have done a remarkable job with this car. And for that alone it is worth considering.
Hyundai Ioniq 5N récord de 7 minutos y 45 segundos, pero lo que es muy impresionante es que los frenos no se cansan durante una ronda de Nurburgring y que la temperatura de la batería se mantiene entre 55 y 60. grados, manteniendo al 100% la potencia del motor. Esta tecnología es una locura. El trackpack Model S Plaid de Tesla y el Porsche Taycan muestran que la temperatura de la batería se dispara como loca incluso antes de dar una vuelta en Nurburgring, que la potencia del motor se reduce a la mitad, y los frenos se estiran y muestran que el vehículo es empujado hacia atrás. El concepto de enfriar el calor de la batería mediante frenado regenerativo fue desarrollado por primera vez por Hyundai, y ni siquiera Tesla puede imitarlo. Hay que reconocer que es una tecnología que no se puede imitar. Mercedes impresionado por esto - Mercedes y Volkswagen firman E - acuerdo de suministro de GMP con Hyundai Motor Group
I will always get behind a manufacturer's efforts to make their cars more fun. I'm glad Hyundai is doing this and it seems to "fit" within the N mantra that Hyundai has created thus far. Good job, Hyundai.
@@tz7710 Exactly, that's why Hyundai and Kia will lose big time. I've seen their stock prices and they have come right down in sales and popularity. This is just my opinion but Hyundai's and Kia's are the most ugly piles of poop I've ever seen even the newer models. 🤮
@@Anonymous_world5000not sure where you get your figures. Just looking at stock prices and they haven’t really fallen. Theyre not at their peak but they’re up above where they have been for the majority of the last 5 years. And their sales have been higher than any year prior… if you don’t like the looks that’s fine 🤷🏻♂️ many people would disagree.
@@theofficialwizard2753 The figures where from consumer reports where they rank the best car companies, and Hyundai was 13th and Kia was 10th. Toyota was 1st.
I went from saying no I would never buy a Hyundai to absolutely loving them and everything they are doing I currently own a 2022 Elantra N and when I was buying it all the people I know told me to not get it because it was a Hyundai but I chose to not listen to them because I absolutely loved how much character the car had and now all of there cars are getting this uniqueness to them and it makes them so much more special. now personally I'm not a fan of electric just because I want my car to make noise and artificial noise doesn't work for me. But I am very happy that they understand people want noise and are trying to address that problem with electric Honestly Hyundai is a completely different animal then they used to be and are now making all the right steps.
@@Mountain_ManuOh yeah, the i30N always got great reviews, Ive been saying that if Hyundai wants to bring back a hot hatch to the US they could just send over i30Ns instead of manufacturing new Veloster Ns👍😏😊
The N eshift feature is so amazing... getting all the feel of a transmission car with no transmission is insane.. kudos to Hyundai for integrating a innovative feature
Innovation? Electric motors were invented eons ago. I bet the range would be poor on this one even at non silly everyday speeds and they still dont have a charging network
@@trancenut81 since Hyundai said they'll use Tesla's charger in the near future, I think problems gonna be solved soon. and it's hard to keep the motor's temperature down while driving on the track. and its first attempt at simulating the gear-shifting effect. while other EVs are pretty much the same.
To top this all ladies and gentlemen, it’s not expensive to charge it. Sub £20 from empty on home chargers for all that fun. Granted I bet it’ll only do an hour on track! But realistically over 200 miles of travel range. Expensive to buy but for the equivalent 600bhp machine the fueling cost is crazy good value. I’d be hard set to choose this over an A45 AMG for the same money for instance (mainly on noise). But when you weigh in all the extras, the convenience factor and how cheap it is to run one… it’s genuinely a clear contender if you love a lot of toys to play with, and have charging facilities at home. Very well done Hyundai
A Korean youtuber tested the range of Ioniq 5N and got around 270 miles when driven conservatively in Eco mode. Much better than the range of 200 mile Hyundai announced. Not bad.
As a die hard ICE fan boy, I don't like that EVs are the future BUT, if it is, and it's unavoidable, this Hyundai N stuff is the direction I'd like to see. This is so cool, and so much kudos to Hyundai for trying to pump in emotion to EVs. They are really on to something here! Amazing.
My thoughts exactly! I appreciate the work & design Hyundai have been doing the last 10 or so years. They’ve really changed their image from what it was around 2000-2010.
you should drive "Non-Tesla" EV, it will change your mind and they drive amazing especially daily driving. I basically "fuel" it at home for free (if u have solar).
Once you’ve done a few launches they are simply dull. Great daily’s, but lack of noise and extra weight take away so much of the sensory fun you’d otherwise have. Hoping tech can gradually decrease weight, but I just can’t see how you mitigate the lack of noise, it’s just such a huge factor if you sit in a supercar.
Not going to lie, the E-shift is really cool. Most of my gripes with EVs isn't really the lack of sound, it's more the lack of engagement. Even if this feature is essentially useless performance wise and actually like worse for times and performance driving in general, the engagement and fun of it is worth it. Cars like this are supposed to be fun, so I'm glad Hyundai realized this and injected some video game type fun into the thing.
@@oscarcervantes3626 I could totally see that, especially coming from an ICE car. Having your torque and power application vary with your chosen gear is a huge part of controlling a vehicle, and having something that emulates an ICE car's torque changes with simulated gears would be beneficial around a track for just knowing how to finesse the car how you want it. I drive a DSG Mk7 GTI and manually selecting the right gear before entering a corner or rolling into the power band in a higher gear on corner exit so that you can smooth into your power and torque band without actually really modulating the throttle pedal at all, is a huge part of really fine tuning your driving with a car. Without something like this e-shift in an EV, that simply doesn't exist. So to have this is really cool, and the more I think about it, the more it doesn't surprise me that it's faster for a lot of drivers.
@@oscarcervantes3626 That's right! A lot of the test driver, while wanting to post fast times, always had the e shift on cause they were more engaged and involved with the car's performance. Realistically, you're wasting valuable time on shifts, but drivers being involved in the car's antics makes them more confident and comfy in the car
@livinagoodlife the pigs are going extinct, and you can't forget the taste of sausage. Having a vegan sausage is better than having nothing but veggies.
go look at the comments on the car&driver article about the ioniq 5 N's e-shift feature when it was announced - it was truly shocking to me how much negativity there was from supposed car enthusiasts about that feature. So incredibly happy to see it coming to fruition as innovative and preserving engagement in the EV age. Thank you Top Gear for bringing this excellent insight on the actual product in use, I'm excited to give it a shot myself one day!
That's mainly because there is no joy no matter what kind of gimmicks they put into an EV. An EV is not a car. It's just a toaster on wheels to us car enthusiasts. Everything that makes a car enjoyable to us. It has NONE Of it. If everyone else wants an EV. Go for it. But hyundai messed up and missed the mark for what car enthusiasts want. Because this... will NEVER be it. EV's are extremely toxic to the environment anyway. When they wreck. Toxic fumes and lithium battery fluid everywhere. It takes between 5,000 to 7,000 Watts to power a small home. It takes 7,200 watts to recharge an EV. Hmm... it's almost like an extreme amount of power from the power grid will be needed, fueled by all the fossil fuels to power these supposed "Clean solutions." driving on the road. People are buying into bullshit. And happily doing it. Thinking they're accomplishing something.
@@jeremyhenry3126 yeah, it took me a while to realize the extreme negativity was coming from people who are scared of it. Because if we have EVs that have the fun factor, then there's much less argument for keeping ICE around at all, right? That's the thinking? Look, I'm personally one of the most staunch "ICE supremacists" (lol) out there, but there's not much any of us can do about EVs coming. It's happening, and my hope is that there will be legal exceptions made for vintage cars, etc so we can keep enjoying them in a reasonable fashion. But the days of driving a manual V8 to work are almost over, like it or not, and it's cool that Hyundai is one of the only brands out there that are attempting to add back some engagement that EV appliances absolutely are devoid of. By spewing negativity at it, the only thing you're doing is showing manufacturers that you want a boring EV appliance that doesn't try to do anything interesting whatsoever. And without your interest, they will not make it. Average Joe doesn't give a damn about engine noise or shifting. Hating will get you absolutely nowhere.
I'm actually shocked at how positive the comments on here are for this. As an enthusiast I'm wondering who this is marketed to. All these features are just simulations and I'm not really interested. I like that hyundai is trying to innovate in this space but I feel like it's not really going to excite who their target audience is.
@@travismiller8232 thank you for your reasonable perspective. Look, I totally get that. I absolutely love every mechanical ounce of my E46 M3, and I don't think any EV will ever be able to replicate the feeling that it gives me. But in this very comment thread, you can see 3 different viewpoints. In mine: there's nothing we can do about EVs taking over, EVs will never provide the same feeling, but maybe if we try to innovate, try new things, it can bring *something* more enjoyable and engaging than pushing a button to go fast. Hyundai is taking that first step, and I appreciate it. And I would certainly consider buying it. Your perspective seems similar but you don't think this attempt will work for you, and that's fine. It might not work for me either, but I do think it's getting there maybe. @jeremyhenry3126 has the one that I could not understand for the longest time, but I've figured it out: denial. The belief that by throwing as much hate as possible towards this, maybe it will stop happening. Fight it, and die on that hill. I guess that explains the entire republican party, so that's certainly a type of approach to take. Best of luck with that, I guess
That thing is a beast!! Hyundai!? Who’d ever thought Hyundai was going to have a super car performance to beat the best of super car’s out there! Amazing!
I used to own an I30N - Superb car! Now I'm honestly finding myself say "I really want one of those!" when I'm thinking about the Ioniq 5 N. Well done Hyundai, and please, keep em coming, but a bit less expensive in the future if you can. Thanks!!

Torque control is so important in tracks,it tries to solve every problem i have with EVS ( the ability to control the power to keep the car moving the way you want) its just magnificent
As an owner of an current Ioniq 5, I am very excited for this. The current car is already very good on its own merrits, this just turns it up to 11! Amazing Job Hyundai, I will be a customer again.
Also current owner. I'm realizing they've got a platform with the I5 that has enough versatility to be many different things to different people which is a great compliment to the design. Would I pay for a firmware update for that N e-shift? abso-friggin-lutely.
Turns out Hyundai not only knocks it out of the park on styling but also is capable of giving their cars character and interaction. In an increasingly anodyne world, they should be congratulated. Good job, great car.
Im not a fan of this design, the Ioniq 6 also looks like a molten porsche, a banana from the side, if they literally had ironed out that kink it wouldve looked immense, the new Kona does look better but the old one was quite bad, so its not a good design either. The I30 Fastback is their strongest design tho the non N version could have used a mirrored exhaust, one sided huge exhausts just look bad, which also applies to the tucson which has too many dorito inspired shapes in it. Genesis on the other hand makes quite nice looking cars, the G70 looks pretty lit. and Hyundais Sister company KIA makes some pretty nice looking cars, the Kia EV6 looks pretty nice with maybe the C pillar needing some work and the rear lights being a bit droopy. The best looking car from them still is the KIA Stinger which beats any Hyundai. Anyways, its nice to see the koreans get the attention they deserve. Ill definitely trade in my chinese MG4 for a hyundai or KIA any day of the week
Ok. The Ioniq 5 N is really cool. I'm not a fan of electric cars - like many petrolheads - but the Ioniq 5 is a car I would consider if I someday HAVE to go electric. The Ioniq 5 N's e-Shift is a gimmick that really wasn't necessary, but it's absolutely awesome! It makes the car fun when you want it to be and quiet and electric everywhere else. I also like the torque distribution slider. And the styling is gloriously modern Hyundai. I think that if electric car makers want to interest the petrolheads of the world, they will need these types of fun gimmicks. I mean, imagine you can drive something like this and make it sound like a straight-6, V8 or even a V12? I know Toyota is working on something similar with the LFA replacement, but this is a good idea. Get rid of the Dodge Daytona's whooshing noise and make it a fake HEMI - deep and guttural.
@@itekani Well, no. Of course not. You can like whatever you want. But for those who want some more noise and drama, an internal combustion engine does just that. And making your EV sound like a blast from the past helps bring in this demographic.
some people here are underestimating simulated e-shift. E-shift let you to control it's power. One hard thing in EV is that it's so hard to control it's power. This is why it's much difficult to drive EV than ICE in sports driving.
@@sambitdas9416Using the pedal is way to complicated. Much easier to additionally make some fake shifts. Also electric motors are know for non-linear and indirect responsiveness…
What I like most about this car is that, Hyundai has first shown with ICE based cars that they are capable of making this type of car and now they bring reasonable fun on EVs.
drive to work in F40 and drive home in a dino. Throttle mapped to include turbo lag and fake noise match chosen car. Add in a 3rd pedal and a gear stick and you can simulate many cars. Can’t shift the weight though…
@@aspen8999 actually you kinda can, add some clever suspension, active sway bar, 4 wheel steer, adaptive dampners to the mix and while you cant make a 4500 pound car feel like a 2500 pound car, these is definitely a large ability of changing driving characteristics, but this whole idea of actual fun electric cars sounds awesome, won't replace my ICE, but if you can do it forza or a simulator withe extremely realistic manual gear shifts, noises, being able to adjust power band as well as horsepower, you can really have a lot more fun then ever imagined in electric cars. this is something I can get behind all day.
ionic 5 n has already been released in Korea, and many drivers have experienced it. There are many people in Korea who criticize Hyundai, but there is not a single person who criticizes ionic 5 n. There are already a lot of videos uploaded. If you experience ionic 5 n, you will be amazed
I honestly have zero interest in EV’s and I came into this video thinking pfft, no thanks. But I love what they’ve done with the “revs” and “gear change” and synthesised sounds. Honestly looks so fab, hope other manufacturers do the same.
I can't imagine buying an ev without such a shift function, it has to be so much more fun on every country road, not only on a race track. Good job N devision!
At last. All those who say Hyundai is a rubbish brand have no idea what they're on about. The N machines they produce can only be made by people with true passion and incredible engineering knowhow. The world's most iconic performance car brands come from the same DNA, with a desire to build great driver's cars. The beginnings may be different but the results speak for themselves.

Merc A45 S was my dream first premium car but after seeing this, I'm gonna go for this one bcs i really love hothatches n i think the ioniq 5 N is much cooler than A45 S
man, Hyundai has been crushing it with there recent cars/concepts, i feel like they could be a serious big name brand for enthusiasts in the near future.
To emulate gear shift without energy loss (which would be waste heat that hurts breaking performance), your car should be able to handle incredible surges of regenerations. This is the key technology of EVs, which other manufacturers do not have yet. Other than Tesla and Hyundai, EVs out there can't even properly handle normal regeneration on brake, still heavily relies on physical brakes.
Gotta give a huge respect to the team for developing a new product without much reference to learning from. From a business perspective this doesn’t make a lot of sense. That’s brave and a indication the company is going serious with the N brand
it seems that all people here do not understand about what's important here in ioniq5 N. Battery manangement that capable to keep all that monsterous horsepower until battery go off on track is key point. And another key point is that Ioniq 5N is capable of generating 0.6g breaking system through powerful regen breaking. This is very crucials in EV. Becuae EV is heavy and rellying on disc break on breaking on track will make break melt away and force you to give up during section. This kind of powerful regen breakings were possible due to battery technology (NCM 9/0.5/0.5). So over all, Now, ioniq5N is more capable in track duration than ICE cars!!!
@@Hundredthldiot You still not understanding this revolutionalry. Other EV maker's product would overheat their battery with strong regen breaking. But not Hyudai. This is why you need NCM 9/0.5/0.5 batteries. What's revolutionary in Ioniq 5N is that batteries does not over heat no matter how you push the car. That is the point of this car.
@@Hundredthldiot And more interestingly, during Goodwood festivals, team engineers from Ioniq 5N had interview and they disclosed the fact that battery temperature went DOWN during regen breaking. They don't know how this happen. This is accidental discovery.
@@yumyumlol-o7r are you claiming that this car can be driven lap after lap on track without battery overheating issues or power restrictions? If so I'd like to see some evidence.
@@Hundredthldiot Yes. this car can be driven in track without overheating issues and power restrictions. It has been shown from many Korean car youtubers driving ioniq 5N on track. You will see evidence as western youtubers start to over view it on track.
I dont like EV's. Teslas dont impress me. I do however like this. 👏 Great job Hyundai. I didnt think it was possible, but you've actually impressed me with an EV.
Test drove this last weekend @ Sydney Motorsport Park. Sound is fake, but the 8 speed simulated gearbox feels very real.👍🏻 Because of how real it feels, I absolutely agree that the sound is “good enough” and you forget it’s all fake and absolutely need e-shift on a track when tackling corners and hairpins. Brilliant job Hyundai and can’t wait to receive mine.👍🏻👏🏻
Dont be surprised if there are soon "Other" ignition sound options, on that replicate different gas engines becuz Why Not? the sound aspect has to be the easiest part of all that tech trickery to implement...
The team that engineered this car deserves an award. It appears that they have thought of everything an adult would want, along with everything a kid would want too!

I enjoyed your review. I have an Ioniq5 four wheel drive car and it is very quick but I can't imagine how fast the N version must feel. I do have to say that the idea of manufacturing sound is just stupid. I really love the electric hum the car produces normally and that's all I need. It's the soul of the car. If you need noise stick with an ICE car. Don't need or want a gear shift. Love the linear feel when the car accelerates. All I want to do is go fast and I don't want to work for it.
I am absolutely possessed by the rear lights of this thing. I’m pretty sure they used it in a concept car many years ago and to see it finally brought to life is just crazy.
I think e-shift is a fantastic idea and one very well executed. The bouncing of the car when it was bouncing off the 'limiter' is so we'll simulated. I think this comes to one word, which Jack mentioned, connection. The sense that your having a physical input on how the car behaves, even it is simulated, just provides another level of connection. Steering and the pressing of peddles is just to easy for most, real drivers want to be busy, this provides something to do. Great idea.
I honestly like the woosh sounds way better than the weird 8-bit engine noise. They sound closer to what other electric motors sound like and don't sound silly.

This is a really cool car and a 640 HP Hyundai would have sounded like a joke a few years ago. I‘m glad they are keeping the hot hatch alive. (Although I do think the fake sound and gears are kind of silly.)
It’s not a car I’ll ever own, I couldn’t live with the EV infrastructure, costs too much, maintenance prices will be insane for those huge tyres and brakes. But as a current i30N owner myself, I’m pretty impressed with this and it’s the sort of direction that enthusiast EVs should be going in to make them more engaging. Btw it’s not a hot hatch though, the thing is massive. And I’ll die on that hill 😂
Maintenance is very low, no yearly service schedule, no oil and gearbox oil changes, tyres not much more than ICE car tyres. And you are paying 80% tax on fuel. Infrastructure for charging is fine. Free if you have solar. ICE cars are dead

It reminds me of my pc sim racing setup in the best possible way. Taking electrical components and using them to mimic a real racecar. But in this case you're actually belting around a racetrack!

Bump up the sound and really lean into the car being an NA V8/V10 or I4 Turbo. Just plain fun.
People here do not uderstand the fact that Ioniq5N is revolutionary in EV sports car. Ioniq 5N have set the definition how EV should be like on tract. EV must have atleast 0.6g of regenerative breaking system and how battery management should keep working in order to sustain certain battery temperatures. Now, other car makers have no choice but to copy write down what Hyundai have wrote the definition (If they are capable to develop technologies that Hyundai have implemented lol). Ioniq 5N makes Porsche Taycan and Audi E tron gt expensive trash. Since Ioniq 5N price is about 70k, Taycan and E tron Gt price must be at least go down to 50k or 60k.
I love the playfulness of the different modes!! Why not have an EV Motor sound like a straight 6 or V12? It’ll never be the same, but why not enjoy! Well done Hyundai. :)
I’d even like to see a bunch of different tonal sounds. I was surprised they stopped at just the 3, since it seems like a relatively simple thing to do. I wonder if purchasing, or downloading ‘engine’ tones will end up becoming a thing, like ringtones..🤔
Most brands : "Noooo, don't drift, don't drive too fast, just review our car by not doing what we designed it for." Hyundai : "Yo bro, just go for it!" Hyundai is so confident, and as a former I30N owner I can say with reason, in their product that they let you use it the way they designed and promoted it. With the N models your warranty doesn't even expire if you take it out on track, not even frigging Ferrari or McLaren does that.

People criticize IONIQ 5N by its sound and clutch are all fake. However, it is an option that only Hyundai can provide that other companies do not. The EU will ban the sale of internal combustion engines within a few decades, and not only in the EU, but in many countries as well. In this situation, Hyundai's attempt to transplant the advantages of the internal combustion engine into an electric vehicle deserves praise.
Also, they work very well and make the driving experience smoother and enhance the fun. These options can be turned off at any time, and the '650hp' & '0-100 in 3.4 sec' BEAST can be transformed into the normal IONIQ 5, one of the best family EVs, anytime. It has all the same conveniences such as enormous interior space and V2L.
The best part of the IONIQ 5N is not numbers like '0-100 3.4sec' or '650hp' (although it is already powerful enough). Ilt has the best driving feel and cornering and tremendous chassis performance of any EV under $100K currently. IONIQ 5N recorded a lap time of 7min 45sec at the Nürburgring. It is similar to Porsche Taycan and Model S Plaid.
EV's output drastically decreases after driving at maximum speed a few times due to the heat of the battery. However, the IONIQ 5N remains fine even if driven at full power all day. Hyundai may not the best in EV technology, but it has the world's best technology in battery heat management. Tesla's '1000hp' is only a peak number. I think sustainability of power is more important.
If this car was made by a German brand like BMW it would start at at least $150K. But IONIQ 5N starts at $65K. This is by far the best value options for anyone considering a sporty EV.
I test drove this car a few days ago and it is a lot of fun indeed! The fake shifting and engine noise serve a good purpose in connecting you to the car more, and even my family, who test drove it with me, liked the engine noise the best of all the sounds. It sounds silly, but it helps to make the transition fun and engaging. The car is a bit high and heavy for a sports car (I usually drive an Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce), but the engineers have done a remarkable job with this car. And for that alone it is worth considering.
There seemed to be a gear icon next to the engine sound line. Does that allow tuning the audio more?
@@MikkoRantalainen yes it does and you can even turn on/off the exteriour sound
Hyundai Ioniq 5N récord de 7 minutos y 45 segundos, pero lo que es muy impresionante es que los frenos no se cansan durante una ronda de Nurburgring y que la temperatura de la batería se mantiene entre 55 y 60. grados, manteniendo al 100% la potencia del motor. Esta tecnología es una locura.
El trackpack Model S Plaid de Tesla y el Porsche Taycan muestran que la temperatura de la batería se dispara como loca incluso antes de dar una vuelta en Nurburgring, que la potencia del motor se reduce a la mitad, y los frenos se estiran y muestran que el vehículo es empujado hacia atrás.
El concepto de enfriar el calor de la batería mediante frenado regenerativo fue desarrollado por primera vez por Hyundai, y ni siquiera Tesla puede imitarlo. Hay que reconocer que es una tecnología que no se puede imitar.

I went from saying no I would never buy a Hyundai to absolutely loving them and everything they are doing I currently own a 2022 Elantra N and when I was buying it all the people I know told me to not get it because it was a Hyundai but I chose to not listen to them because I absolutely loved how much character the car had and now all of there cars are getting this uniqueness to them and it makes them so much more special.
now personally I'm not a fan of electric just because I want my car to make noise and artificial noise doesn't work for me. But I am very happy that they understand people want noise and are trying to address that problem with electric

To top this all ladies and gentlemen, it’s not expensive to charge it. Sub £20 from empty on home chargers for all that fun. Granted I bet it’ll only do an hour on track! But realistically over 200 miles of travel range.
Expensive to buy but for the equivalent 600bhp machine the fueling cost is crazy good value.
I’d be hard set to choose this over an A45 AMG for the same money for instance (mainly on noise). But when you weigh in all the extras, the convenience factor and how cheap it is to run one… it’s genuinely a clear contender if you love a lot of toys to play with, and have charging facilities at home.

As a die hard ICE fan boy, I don't like that EVs are the future BUT, if it is, and it's unavoidable, this Hyundai N stuff is the direction I'd like to see. This is so cool, and so much kudos to Hyundai for trying to pump in emotion to EVs. They are really on to something here! Amazing.
My thoughts exactly! I appreciate the work & design Hyundai have been doing the last 10 or so years. They’ve really changed their image from what it was around 2000-2010.
you should drive "Non-Tesla" EV, it will change your mind and they drive amazing especially daily driving. I basically "fuel" it at home for free (if u have solar).
@@Visualhead_Spacer I have driven many EV's they are capable but boring.
Once you’ve done a few launches they are simply dull. Great daily’s, but lack of noise and extra weight take away so much of the sensory fun you’d otherwise have. Hoping tech can gradually decrease weight, but I just can’t see how you mitigate the lack of noise, it’s just such a huge factor if you sit in a supercar.
They're on to something alright - it's called inauthenticity. Fake, fake, fake.
Not going to lie, the E-shift is really cool. Most of my gripes with EVs isn't really the lack of sound, it's more the lack of engagement. Even if this feature is essentially useless performance wise and actually like worse for times and performance driving in general, the engagement and fun of it is worth it. Cars like this are supposed to be fun, so I'm glad Hyundai realized this and injected some video game type fun into the thing.
I think they said, during testing at the track, some drivers were faster using this feature than when not using it.
This
@@oscarcervantes3626 I could totally see that, especially coming from an ICE car. Having your torque and power application vary with your chosen gear is a huge part of controlling a vehicle, and having something that emulates an ICE car's torque changes with simulated gears would be beneficial around a track for just knowing how to finesse the car how you want it. I drive a DSG Mk7 GTI and manually selecting the right gear before entering a corner or rolling into the power band in a higher gear on corner exit so that you can smooth into your power and torque band without actually really modulating the throttle pedal at all, is a huge part of really fine tuning your driving with a car. Without something like this e-shift in an EV, that simply doesn't exist. So to have this is really cool, and the more I think about it, the more it doesn't surprise me that it's faster for a lot of drivers.
@@oscarcervantes3626 That's right! A lot of the test driver, while wanting to post fast times, always had the e shift on cause they were more engaged and involved with the car's performance. Realistically, you're wasting valuable time on shifts, but drivers being involved in the car's antics makes them more confident and comfy in the car
@livinagoodlife the pigs are going extinct, and you can't forget the taste of sausage. Having a vegan sausage is better than having nothing but veggies.
Been a die hard vw fan for years and bought an i20N recently best decision I ever made car wise personally !
go look at the comments on the car&driver article about the ioniq 5 N's e-shift feature when it was announced - it was truly shocking to me how much negativity there was from supposed car enthusiasts about that feature. So incredibly happy to see it coming to fruition as innovative and preserving engagement in the EV age. Thank you Top Gear for bringing this excellent insight on the actual product in use, I'm excited to give it a shot myself one day!
That's mainly because there is no joy no matter what kind of gimmicks they put into an EV. An EV is not a car. It's just a toaster on wheels to us car enthusiasts. Everything that makes a car enjoyable to us. It has NONE Of it. If everyone else wants an EV. Go for it. But hyundai messed up and missed the mark for what car enthusiasts want. Because this... will NEVER be it. EV's are extremely toxic to the environment anyway. When they wreck. Toxic fumes and lithium battery fluid everywhere. It takes between 5,000 to 7,000 Watts to power a small home. It takes 7,200 watts to recharge an EV. Hmm... it's almost like an extreme amount of power from the power grid will be needed, fueled by all the fossil fuels to power these supposed "Clean solutions." driving on the road. People are buying into bullshit. And happily doing it. Thinking they're accomplishing something.
@@jeremyhenry3126 yeah, it took me a while to realize the extreme negativity was coming from people who are scared of it. Because if we have EVs that have the fun factor, then there's much less argument for keeping ICE around at all, right? That's the thinking? Look, I'm personally one of the most staunch "ICE supremacists" (lol) out there, but there's not much any of us can do about EVs coming. It's happening, and my hope is that there will be legal exceptions made for vintage cars, etc so we can keep enjoying them in a reasonable fashion. But the days of driving a manual V8 to work are almost over, like it or not, and it's cool that Hyundai is one of the only brands out there that are attempting to add back some engagement that EV appliances absolutely are devoid of. By spewing negativity at it, the only thing you're doing is showing manufacturers that you want a boring EV appliance that doesn't try to do anything interesting whatsoever. And without your interest, they will not make it. Average Joe doesn't give a damn about engine noise or shifting. Hating will get you absolutely nowhere.
I'm actually shocked at how positive the comments on here are for this. As an enthusiast I'm wondering who this is marketed to. All these features are just simulations and I'm not really interested. I like that hyundai is trying to innovate in this space but I feel like it's not really going to excite who their target audience is.
@@travismiller8232 thank you for your reasonable perspective. Look, I totally get that. I absolutely love every mechanical ounce of my E46 M3, and I don't think any EV will ever be able to replicate the feeling that it gives me. But in this very comment thread, you can see 3 different viewpoints. In mine: there's nothing we can do about EVs taking over, EVs will never provide the same feeling, but maybe if we try to innovate, try new things, it can bring *something* more enjoyable and engaging than pushing a button to go fast. Hyundai is taking that first step, and I appreciate it. And I would certainly consider buying it. Your perspective seems similar but you don't think this attempt will work for you, and that's fine. It might not work for me either, but I do think it's getting there maybe. @jeremyhenry3126 has the one that I could not understand for the longest time, but I've figured it out: denial. The belief that by throwing as much hate as possible towards this, maybe it will stop happening. Fight it, and die on that hill. I guess that explains the entire republican party, so that's certainly a type of approach to take. Best of luck with that, I guess
Eh the feeling a lot of people get is like vegan meat substitutes. Why try to play pretend?
That thing is a beast!! Hyundai!? Who’d ever thought Hyundai was going to have a super car performance to beat the best of super car’s out there! Amazing!

The I30 Fastback is their strongest design tho the non N version could have used a mirrored exhaust, one sided huge exhausts just look bad, which also applies to the tucson which has too many dorito inspired shapes in it.
Genesis on the other hand makes quite nice looking cars, the G70 looks pretty lit.
and Hyundais Sister company KIA makes some pretty nice looking cars, the Kia EV6 looks pretty nice with maybe the C pillar needing some work and the rear lights being a bit droopy.

Ok. The Ioniq 5 N is really cool. I'm not a fan of electric cars - like many petrolheads - but the Ioniq 5 is a car I would consider if I someday HAVE to go electric. The Ioniq 5 N's e-Shift is a gimmick that really wasn't necessary, but it's absolutely awesome! It makes the car fun when you want it to be and quiet and electric everywhere else. I also like the torque distribution slider. And the styling is gloriously modern Hyundai.
I think that if electric car makers want to interest the petrolheads of the world, they will need these types of fun gimmicks. I mean, imagine you can drive something like this and make it sound like a straight-6, V8 or even a V12? I know Toyota is working on something similar with the LFA replacement, but this is a good idea. Get rid of the Dodge Daytona's whooshing noise and make it a fake HEMI - deep and guttural.

Hyundai ugly trash
The way the e-shift is so perfect I ask myself why don't all EVs do it
Especially the sport EVs they could do with a bit of excitement like this
This is the game changing model that will I spire the rest
To emulate gear shift without energy loss (which would be waste heat that hurts breaking performance), your car should be able to handle incredible surges of regenerations. This is the key technology of EVs, which other manufacturers do not have yet. Other than Tesla and Hyundai, EVs out there can't even properly handle normal regeneration on brake, still heavily relies on physical brakes.
This N e-Shift is awesome. Definitely makes it feel like you’re driving an ICE.
Gotta give a huge respect to the team for developing a new product without much reference to learning from. From a business perspective this doesn’t make a lot of sense. That’s brave and a indication the company is going serious with the N brand

Battery manangement that capable to keep all that monsterous horsepower until battery go off on track is key point. And another key point is that Ioniq 5N is capable of generating 0.6g breaking system through powerful regen breaking. This is very crucials in EV. Becuae EV is heavy and rellying on disc break on breaking on track will make break melt away and force you to give up during section. This kind of powerful regen breakings were possible due to battery technology (NCM 9/0.5/0.5).
So over all, Now, ioniq5N is more capable in track duration than ICE cars!!!
Gibberish. It's easier to cool brakes than a battery. Regen on track leads to battery overheating.
@@Hundredthldiot You still not understanding this revolutionalry. Other EV maker's product would overheat their battery with strong regen breaking. But not Hyudai. This is why you need NCM 9/0.5/0.5 batteries.
What's revolutionary in Ioniq 5N is that batteries does not over heat no matter how you push the car. That is the point of this car.
@@Hundredthldiot And more interestingly, during Goodwood festivals, team engineers from Ioniq 5N had interview and they disclosed the fact that battery temperature went DOWN during regen breaking. They don't know how this happen. This is accidental discovery.
@@yumyumlol-o7r are you claiming that this car can be driven lap after lap on track without battery overheating issues or power restrictions? If so I'd like to see some evidence.
@@Hundredthldiot Yes. this car can be driven in track without overheating issues and power restrictions. It has been shown from many Korean car youtubers driving ioniq 5N on track. You will see evidence as western youtubers start to over view it on track.
Never thought I would think of Hyundai as the most exciting brand out there!
If someone told me that 20 years ago I would have laughed!
Hyundai is the most unreliable piles of crap. 🤮
It's kinda funny how people still look down on Hyundai as if it is 1980s now.
Hyundai hasn’t been too great until recently. Up until now their cars have been dull and unreliable.

I dont like EV's. Teslas dont impress me. I do however like this. 👏 Great job Hyundai. I didnt think it was possible, but you've actually impressed me with an EV.
Have you ever actually driven one?
Test drove this last weekend @ Sydney Motorsport Park.
Sound is fake, but the 8 speed simulated gearbox feels very real.👍🏻
Because of how real it feels, I absolutely agree that the sound is “good enough” and you forget it’s all fake and absolutely need e-shift on a track when tackling corners and hairpins.
Brilliant job Hyundai and can’t wait to receive mine.👍🏻👏🏻
Dont be surprised if there are soon "Other" ignition sound options, on that replicate different gas engines becuz Why Not? the sound aspect has to be the easiest part of all that tech trickery to implement...
I have never seen one in person or had a drive behind the wheel of one but, I love this car.
In South Korea, Ioniq 5 N is garnering rave reviews from racers and car enthusiasts🎉
South korean cars are the most unreliable ugly piles of crap ive ever seen. 🤮🤮🤮
I had the ioniq 5 with 218hp
And now i am driving a GLC Coupé 300de
And i can say... Any time A day twice on a sunday id go for the Hyundai ❤

The team that engineered this car deserves an award. It appears that they have thought of everything an adult would want, along with everything a kid would want too!
Personally, I don't really much care for its looks, but I might be able to get past that.
At any rate, the car is a true beast that will run with and embarrass guys in cars triple the price.

I don't think I'd seen an electric car that I thought I'd like to drive. This has changed that, that shifting looks fun.

I enjoyed your review. I have an Ioniq5 four wheel drive car and it is very quick but I can't imagine how fast the N version must feel. I do have to say that the idea of manufacturing sound is just stupid. I really love the electric hum the car produces normally and that's all I need. It's the soul of the car. If you need noise stick with an ICE car. Don't need or want a gear shift. Love the linear feel when the car accelerates. All I want to do is go fast and I don't want to work for it.
This is one of the most interesting cars to come out in years and I guarantee it will be a future classic!
Kia EV6 GT and this car are really good jobs that we would not think they can do before ten years ago.
this is the most fun and engaging EV release to date. Would love to try it out.
Well done Hyundai once again
Hyundai 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I am absolutely possessed by the rear lights of this thing. I’m pretty sure they used it in a concept car many years ago and to see it finally brought to life is just crazy.
Hyundai is killing it in design. Never ever would I have thought it would be Hyundai leading the car industry in design.

That steering🔥🔥🔥...wow beautiful

Special, odd, amazing! good job Hyundai! Good review TG
I think e-shift is a fantastic idea and one very well executed. The bouncing of the car when it was bouncing off the 'limiter' is so we'll simulated. I think this comes to one word, which Jack mentioned, connection. The sense that your having a physical input on how the car behaves, even it is simulated, just provides another level of connection. Steering and the pressing of peddles is just to easy for most, real drivers want to be busy, this provides something to do. Great idea.

BEST New Electric Car in the World, on the market RIGHT NOW.........As far as the closest to getting an actual sports Car that is Pure Electric. No other car right now simulates torque loss through shifting gears of an ICE vehicle like this one is doing. HANDS DOWN, an INCREDIBLE Vehicle.
Also, I Already liked the design of the Ionic 5, now they made me Love It.
At least they tried to give it a noise ... it's not enough noise though.
I LIKE what they have done with this though. No gears and no noise is my BIGGEST issue with EVs... I like this. It shows progress to make a fun EV
Sound can also be customized like N Car.
Crazy good tech design. Yes its a Hyper Hatch!!

Such a cool quirk. Excited to see more manufacturers going down this path if EVs are the only inevitable way forward.
Obviously you guys from top gear ⚙️ aren't fans of Hyundai or Kia , these companies are making great quality and affordable cars that can compete against any other brand that makes sports cars in any trim level 🎚️ i would even rather have a Hyundai Elantra N than the Honda Civic Type R !!💯💯💯
I would strongly recommend you don't buy I Hyundai or a Kia they are unreliable and break down very easily.
I know a lot about cars and their functions and I know that Hyundai and Kia are not to be trusted on the road.
Also I my opinion Hyundai's and Kia are really ugly.

This is a really cool car and a 640 HP Hyundai would have sounded like a joke a few years ago. I‘m glad they are keeping the hot hatch alive. (Although I do think the fake sound and gears are kind of silly.)
Hyundai is a company that truly loves cars. 😊
I cant believe I'm saying this, but this might be the first truly fun EV ever.
You clearly haven’t driven one yet then 😂
@@RichTallent I have driven a few Teslas, they were better than a lot of overpriced mainstream shitboxes and economy cars.
It’s not a car I’ll ever own, I couldn’t live with the EV infrastructure, costs too much, maintenance prices will be insane for those huge tyres and brakes. But as a current i30N owner myself, I’m pretty impressed with this and it’s the sort of direction that enthusiast EVs should be going in to make them more engaging.
Btw it’s not a hot hatch though, the thing is massive. And I’ll die on that hill 😂
Maintenance is very low, no yearly service schedule, no oil and gearbox oil changes, tyres not much more than ICE car tyres. And you are paying 80% tax on fuel. Infrastructure for charging is fine. Free if you have solar. ICE cars are dead

This presenter is excellent, entertaining and fully prepared for review. Nice job, we want more reviews like this!
It reminds me of my pc sim racing setup in the best possible way. Taking electrical components and using them to mimic a real racecar. But in this case you're actually belting around a racetrack! Such an amazing idea and execution. I think they should take it further, imagine being able to select different engines, gearboxes, torque distributions, power levels. Bump up the sound and really lean into the car being an NA V8/V10 or I4 Turbo. Just plain fun.
People here do not uderstand the fact that Ioniq5N is revolutionary in EV sports car. Ioniq 5N have set the definition how EV should be like on tract. EV must have atleast 0.6g of regenerative breaking system and how battery management should keep working in order to sustain certain battery temperatures. Now, other car makers have no choice but to copy write down what Hyundai have wrote the definition (If they are capable to develop technologies that Hyundai have implemented lol). Ioniq 5N makes Porsche Taycan and Audi E tron gt expensive trash. Since Ioniq 5N price is about 70k, Taycan and E tron Gt price must be at least go down to 50k or 60k.
Hyundai 🤮🤮🤮
I love the playfulness of the different modes!! Why not have an EV Motor sound like a straight 6 or V12? It’ll never be the same, but why not enjoy!
Well done Hyundai. :)
I’d even like to see a bunch of different tonal sounds. I was surprised they stopped at just the 3, since it seems like a relatively simple thing to do. I wonder if purchasing, or downloading ‘engine’ tones will end up becoming a thing, like ringtones..🤔
Hyundai officials say more sounds will be available to download later. Who knows, might even eventually be a way to get your own sounds in, too!
there might actually be a market for this for ev's. Create your own sound and upload it to an app where people can buy it
It is all shitty fake
Eventually, you might be able to download more sounds from the App store?

Hahahahhaha dream on.....
Most brands : "Noooo, don't drift, don't drive too fast, just review our car by not doing what we designed it for."
Hyundai : "Yo bro, just go for it!"
Hyundai is so confident, and as a former I30N owner I can say with reason, in their product that they let you use it the way they designed and promoted it. With the N models your warranty doesn't even expire if you take it out on track, not even frigging Ferrari or McLaren does that.
Love how how N Grin boost is double the regular 5’s 320bhp plus one. Cool Easter egg!
