Absolute game changing move tbh. Hyundai was always on the upswing this past decade, but this is actually game changing. I haven’t seen an EV generate such universal praise before.
Fun facts I found out about the fake sounds. The "Evolution" sound is the same sound from the Hyundai prototype LeMans concept car in Gran Turismo and the "Supersonic" conceived when Top Gun: Maverick was in theatres in Korea. The engineers were so enamored with the film that they wanted a F/A-18 sound in th car, too.

@@dobetter4271the 5N has nothing in common with the Tesla Plaid except it both EV. It drives completly different. On my first ride with 5N, I was shocked about the willingness of cornering, it‘s incredible. Plaid is straight line only drag car
I work at Hyundai and when we got one in a few months ago I took it out and had way more fun than ever imagined. Even was finding myself having mechanical sympathy as I’m ripping down the backroads finding myself short shifting not wanting to rev out a brand new car that isn’t broken in yet. Then realizing oh, shit. I’m in an EV 😂 Very impressive car and very very quick. But the sound and feel makes you lose track of how heavy it actually is when you’re flying into a corner thinking you’re in a veloster N or something. Also they must’ve had an update for the sound modes. They didn’t have evolution. Was just the n sounding induction. And one called supersonic that was a spaceship sound and in between shifts it would give you a sonic boom sound. Which got very old fast. But it was so loud and in that mechanical sympathy mindset at first when I wound out that first gear in supersonic mode and heard that bang when shifting I swore it blew up 😂 so I’m glad to see they got rid of that sound profile. Great review as always
they didn't get rid of it, lol. The "sonic boom" is there if you have Enhanced Experience enabled in the e-sound settings. I know because I have mine turned off. 😆
At the end of the day, EV’s will always be chasing the feel of an ICE powered vehicle. The spirit of design, the soul of the car, the emotion of the experience, the senses it triggers is completely different. The EV will always be an imitation, and we’re just going to have to accept that part. Edit: I liked the line “it’s a feat of engineering.” I still appreciate the amount of thought that Hyundai put into this car.
@@pstarke1066 that’s a good point. Interesting thing about trends is that they ebb and flow. Will be interesting to see what we have to say in a decade.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N achieves its "engine sound" through a feature called "N e-Shift" which is essentially a software-based system that simulates the sounds and feel of a traditional gasoline engine with multiple gears, even though the car only has one gear..😊
There's the rub. It's actually cutting the power to simulate the transmission. When Honda did the simulated shifting on their CVT's, I thought that was silly. Now this. That said... it's an EV that actually has a driving experience. So I may own one someday, if I ever have a commute, again.
@@robsolf Actually, the regenerative braking paddles mounted to the steering wheel suddenly become gear shifters, and the sound of the "engine" rises and lowers as you move through each "gear." Without cutting the power off, it's a amazing system! 😀
My first introduction to this was watching throttlehouse’s first look of the car, I’ll admit I was skeptical and thought it was a gimmick but by the end, I was sold and hoping other manufacturers would follow suit and it looks like Honda is engineering their own version of this. I’m with you David, it’s incredible the amount of thought and care that went into the convincing nature, especially imitating the conventional transmission complete with harder shifts. I can’t wait to see what is coming next!
Actually a big fan of this car. Was scrolling through FB a while back and came across a post where a guy was talking about how the ioniq 5 n allowed him to enjoy cars again after a traumatic accident left him with ptsd when driving a combustion engine vehicles geared towards performance. I would love to get the chance to drive one of these
PTSD don’t matter if it’s gas or EV being behind the wheel is still being behind the wheel, don’t be gay and drive a EV just go back out and get in a real man’s car that’s powered by something great, unless you wanna blast your fake car noises out your speakers lmao
This car shocked Misha on the Nuremberg Ring so much while reviewing a separate car, he had to do a review of it. Impressive video really to watch it get slung around that course out pasing a pro driver in a pretty nice car.
this car seems exciting until I remember I’m the type of person to choose a Miata over a Corvette. I’m bothered that it has to be the high-end, super powerful, expensive version that gets these fun to drive features. I want an EV that takes more than seven seconds to reach 60 but makes me smile the whole way while doing it. Something with over 500 hp that can make me smile is not impressive. The more smiles for the least horsepower means the most impressive car
I've wanted one since I first heard about them! Your video really makes me want one now. I'd tone down the exterior a little to make it more of a sleeper
Definitely an interesting, well engineered vehicle. You need to review my EV6 GT! I just had it at a track day this last weekend at Dominion Raceway. So much fun.
I have wanted to try driving a tesla plaid for the straight line acceleration, but this, this i want to drive because it actually seems fun! Seeing you instinctively downshift in an ev shows how well Hyundai did on this car!
I got the Niro ev. Definitely a car enthusiast. I just don’t care about owning fast cars anymore. I live in an area with too much traffic to ever really enjoy a fast car. I also don’t make enough money to be a track rat. So I ride a fast motorcycle because why would I want to sit in traffic with the peasants. I like the single gear transmission bc I sit in stop and go traffic everyday. I’m someone who prefers a manual in traffic because auto transmissions get jerky in slow moving traffic, and it drives me crazy. The single gear is always smooth, and with single pedal braking. I rarely put any wear on the pads.
I'm half-ass regretting not buying one of these. I love my Mustang and 700 whp is never boring, but...these things here look amazing and nobody has one, unlike the Mustang that I drive, MT and V8 and all.
I think my favorite little factoid about this car, is they gave it a ICE like torque curve, even though it's less efficient, hence why the ev6 gt is ever so slightly quicker in a straight line!
you have me sold, and im a diesel dude. Hyundai should sponsor this video, and you deserve some kickbacks. You made it seem pretty fun to drive. I would operate it in f1 mode on the daily. Also, can you bump music and still get the car sound at the same time?
I think this is a step in the right direction for EVs. I'd like to see them try making the ioniq car with a "6 speed stick and 3 pedals" There are a lot of classic cars with tesla swaps and they are still manual. Obviously it wouldn't go far but it'll definitely be fun
when i had my GLI for a few months it also had a speaker in the dash to add "engine" sound and there were def times I left it on without realizing it and thought this isn't too bad.
I can confidently say this. Besides the Taycan Turbo S, I'd genuinely be interested to test drive, or even rent for a day or 2, the Ioniq5N. I'm really impressed with what Hyundai did. They seemingly thought of everything l, and I LOVE how it looks

The black with red accents looks so much better than the blue and red… js. Blue and red, green and orange, red and yellow should all be ILLEGAL paint schemes!! 😅
For me, EV's can never replace combustion engines in my heart, because the resonance of a well tuned car, v8, v10 v12 especially just rings right through you to your core. If you ever heard a very high horse power NA enginw rev that doesnt leave you, or if you have experienced those 12000 hp dragsters in person, an EV can never compare.
Ngl sounds like every car from gran turismo 4 and that's not a good thing lol I wish it was maybe more like cyber punk cars idk. Good review David always appreciate you
I'm on the fence about going to check one of these out. My local dealership has had one since the beginning of summer and its still there. I figure since its been sitting for so long they would prolly offer me some crazy deals to take a $70,000 Hyundai off there hands lol
The physical simulation of having a gearbox is probably what makes it engaging to drive. The simulated sounds are terrible. NFSU2 has better engine sounds than a 70k computer on wheels. If the idea of this vehicle is to have fun from both an engineering aspect and the driving aspect, then Hyundai should find a way to allow user created sounds to be used. They could host a community for sharing different sounds from one person to the next. Much like modding a racing game with different sound files. Users could make any sound they want! Want a Ferrari V12 screaming in your ears? Sure! Want a more realistic approach and use an Elantra N sound with a big turbo and loud BOV? Absolutely! Fusing the element of modding video games as a way to mod the car would be a very interesting experience. If it's essentially a "racing sim on wheels", then allow the experience to reflect that. At that point, I would even be really interested if it wasn't for the price. Paying 70k for "the most engaging EV experience" is wild considering you can spend the same amount and far less on a vehicle that's league's better for fun and engagement. It's a tough sell to its target market.
Haters gonna hate, but this is a step in the right direction. What id like to see is a more analog experience. A trans mated to something like this that also doesn't look like an EV. Change torque and HP curves at the flip of the switch for different driving characteristics, for example: emulated lag of a big turbo vs low end torque of a small turbo, etc.
So my question is... Does "downshifting" equate to more regenerative braking? Like how you can engine brake in a gas motor, or exhaust brake in a diesel?
I'm sorry, David, but I can't even with this car. Just like I want to date ladies with only their natural beauty showing this car is the automotive equivalent of "denture girl" transformation video. IYKYK Much love, brother Edited for grammar
I’m curious to see who will be next. I have to imagine every manufacturer out there selling quick/fun EVs will want to incorporate this tech if for nothing else than to give people options.
ngl they should've given the evolution a 12-speed (imo would probably sound better/more intense if it mimicked a very short gear ratio), and then just had the supersonic as 1 long gear that ramps up like a normal turbine would.
I love the 5N so much, but I'm worried it won't sell well or last long due to the cost. The crowd that it's designed for likely won't be able to afford it in this economy, myself included.
Someone needs to find out a way to add custom soundpacks to this thing. Imagine one that would make a turbo flutter on throttle release, or sample a v10 exhaust note.
It’s gets dumber and dumber, I’ll just buy a real car and make an easy 800hp for half the price in a 5.0 and have a real car something that sounds real good not a Xbox with 4 wheels
Honestly I went into this "wanting" to almost be a hater.

I have wanted to try driving a tesla plaid for the straight line acceleration, but this, this i want to drive because it actually seems fun! Seeing you instinctively downshift in an ev shows how well Hyundai did on this car!
I like the "Supersonic" sound in Auto mode. But "Evolution" sound it peak "F1 flappy paddles".
Kinda insane detail, but you can see David's body "shift" as he "upshifts" between gears. That's a wild attention to detail Hyundai
I've ridden in that specific car...and it is IMPRESSIVE!
So basically it has managed to bring smiles/mile to life. As a supporter of smiles/gallon I kind of like this one
I got the Niro ev. Definitely a car enthusiast. I just don’t care about owning fast cars anymore. I live in an area with too much traffic to ever really enjoy a fast car. I also don’t make enough money to be a track rat. So I ride a fast motorcycle because why would I want to sit in traffic with the peasants. I like the single gear transmission bc I sit in stop and go traffic everyday. I’m someone who prefers a manual in traffic because auto transmissions get jerky in slow moving traffic, and it drives me crazy. The single gear is always smooth, and with single pedal braking. I rarely put any wear on the pads.
I really wanna test drive this just to hear the Evolution and Supersonic in person. It sounds kinda cool in the video tbh.
No, they'll have to rip the petrol from my cold dead hands.
And even then, good luck, because I will have glued it to my cold, dead hands.
They’d probably attempt to by sending a Tesla on autopilot to chase after you.
@@revelare_xvii6269 That's funny, battery might run out before then...
you define your existence by which motor type your car has? thats kinda sad. I dont even own a car and dont desire one.
They will just up the price of gas so much it'll be a luxury
I'm half-ass regretting not buying one of these. I love my Mustang and 700 whp is never boring, but...these things here look amazing and nobody has one, unlike the Mustang that I drive, MT and V8 and all.
I think my favorite little factoid about this car, is they gave it a ICE like torque curve, even though it's less efficient, hence why the ev6 gt is ever so slightly quicker in a straight line!
slower with N-shift on, yes. turn it off and it edges the EV6 GT and the stated 0-60 times are based off that. 👍🏼
you have me sold, and im a diesel dude. Hyundai should sponsor this video, and you deserve some kickbacks. You made it seem pretty fun to drive.
I would operate it in f1 mode on the daily.
Also, can you bump music and still get the car sound at the same time?
You can have both at the same time, so yes.
I knew this car was special when I saw track footage around a year ago. I’m not one for electric cars, but this is the way to market them.
I think this is a step in the right direction for EVs. I'd like to see them try making the ioniq car with a "6 speed stick and 3 pedals" There are a lot of classic cars with tesla swaps and they are still manual. Obviously it wouldn't go far but it'll definitely be fun
I wish they keep this type of thing alive in future cars and also update the "exhaust" to not be as vacuumy.
I see I5N’s at Buttonwillow a lot. They look like a lot of fun. It’s a lot faster than my VN ever will be lol
when i had my GLI for a few months it also had a speaker in the dash to add "engine" sound and there were def times I left it on without realizing it and thought this isn't too bad.
I can confidently say this. Besides the Taycan Turbo S, I'd genuinely be interested to test drive, or even rent for a day or 2, the Ioniq5N. I'm really impressed with what Hyundai did. They seemingly thought of everything l, and I LOVE how it looks
Through the camera, "evolution" reminds me a lot of the cabin sound inside a stock rx8.
THEY SHOULD ADD ROTARY NOISES
Should buy a real rotary car then, who cares about fake noise coming out your speakers driving you’re Xbox around when you could have the real deal
@@dobetter4271 most arent definetely rusted out, priced out of everyone's range and are definetely not a pain in the ass to maintain
@@slimslimee4411 then get a nice V8 then or a tt V6 even tho there is plenty of nice RX7’s for sell don’t have to get a rust bucket or a gay EV
@@dobetter4271 not even gonna bother reasoning with some kid who doesnt have the slightest idea of the harsh reality of getting into cars who gets their knowledge from large internet echochambers
@@slimslimee4411 I own a shop I built race cars not a kid how about you go learn about cars and get yourself a real car and some knowledge before ever trying to talk about me you like gay EV’s you have fun but there crap cars In every way go waste your money have fun enjoy your fake noises as well lmao
If I can make it sound like a Lexus LFA, I'm sold 1000%!!!
Just buy a real car smh, going around blasting fake car noises how dumb or hook up your aux cord in your car click LFA on UA-cam don’t be shocked when everyone is laughing tho
@@dobetter4271 You gotta realise this is a great alternative for unobtainable cars. How on the world is anyone gonna get an LFA
@@zdanger2kz it’s fake dude no one wants that crap it’s a EV with fake noise coming out a speaker second off you can buy a faster better sounding car then a LFA for a decent price and last there’s events where you can drive a real LFA for a day for only $200 at track events by your nearest speedway they go around USA and stop at every location every year
@@zdanger2kz dont bother debating with this kid. He's far too gone in the echochambers of the mindless "car guys".
honestly if this thing was just a tad smaller, like hot-hatch sized, but still spacious it would've been a homerun
If I want to drive something that sounds like I'm playing Forza, I'll play Forza...
The black with red accents looks so much better than the blue and red… js. Blue and red, green and orange, red and yellow should all be ILLEGAL paint schemes!! 😅
For me, EV's can never replace combustion engines in my heart, because the resonance of a well tuned car, v8, v10 v12 especially just rings right through you to your core. If you ever heard a very high horse power NA enginw rev that doesnt leave you, or if you have experienced those 12000 hp dragsters in person, an EV can never compare.
Tell me that you are 16yo without telling
@@benjosianogorski6311 yeah okay
@@benjosianogorski6311tell me your stupid and gay without telling me
@@benjosianogorski6311not a real car guy why you even here
@@dobetter4271 how do you know buddy? 😂
Definitely nice interior and unique body and sounds nice wish the roads were better and that I could afford it I’d get one.
so far, these things push me father back into the seat then anything else ive ever driven or ridden in, lowkey want one
If it can beat a Urus Performante then im for it 😅😅😅😅
Just buy a 5.0 for half the price and boost it you’ll have 800hp and real car sounds not fake ones and blow the doors off this and the urus
Ngl sounds like every car from gran turismo 4 and that's not a good thing lol I wish it was maybe more like cyber punk cars idk. Good review David always appreciate you
This is one of the few Korean cars for the mainstream that can compete with cars twice it's price range.
The sound reminds me of the used standard/non-premium cars in GranTurismo 5
I'm on the fence about going to check one of these out. My local dealership has had one since the beginning of summer and its still there. I figure since its been sitting for so long they would prolly offer me some crazy deals to take a $70,000 Hyundai off there hands lol
I've loved this thing since it came out. I would totally buy one, but the depreciation on EVe is terrifying
The physical simulation of having a gearbox is probably what makes it engaging to drive. The simulated sounds are terrible. NFSU2 has better engine sounds than a 70k computer on wheels. If the idea of this vehicle is to have fun from both an engineering aspect and the driving aspect, then Hyundai should find a way to allow user created sounds to be used. They could host a community for sharing different sounds from one person to the next. Much like modding a racing game with different sound files. Users could make any sound they want! Want a Ferrari V12 screaming in your ears? Sure! Want a more realistic approach and use an Elantra N sound with a big turbo and loud BOV? Absolutely! Fusing the element of modding video games as a way to mod the car would be a very interesting experience. If it's essentially a "racing sim on wheels", then allow the experience to reflect that. At that point, I would even be really interested if it wasn't for the price. Paying 70k for "the most engaging EV experience" is wild considering you can spend the same amount and far less on a vehicle that's league's better for fun and engagement. It's a tough sell to its target market.
I think it looks really good. They should put the veloster engine and manual in it
Grand Turismo in real life luv it
Haters gonna hate, but this is a step in the right direction. What id like to see is a more analog experience. A trans mated to something like this that also doesn't look like an EV. Change torque and HP curves at the flip of the switch for different driving characteristics, for example: emulated lag of a big turbo vs low end torque of a small turbo, etc.
bro i love the fucken sounds and the would you love a dyson sir had me dying!
I still think the jetsons sound from the taycan is better but it’s still an impressive effort from Hyundai of all companies
It sounds like those videos with the lights show show different firing orders and how it sounds
Can you bypass all the simulated stuff? How does al this affect range? Kind of cool actually. Just missing that turbo bypass sound.
Yes you can drive it like a usual ev and with a push on a button you can drive it like an ICE. Range should be the same.
First EV that I'm genuinely impressed with
Now some one make the option of having a rotary sound and shifting style as a rotary. That' would be sick
So my question is... Does "downshifting" equate to more regenerative braking? Like how you can engine brake in a gas motor, or exhaust brake in a diesel?
It just needed and engine a real one
Wonder what happens when the speakers blow
Evolution sounds so awesome!! I want this car
I’m just glad they put a rear wiper on it.
I'm sorry, David, but I can't even with this car. Just like I want to date ladies with only their natural beauty showing this car is the automotive equivalent of "denture girl" transformation video. IYKYK
Much love, brother
Edited for grammar
I want to be able to add new car sounds. Also, I want to be able to add the sound of a little boy going, "Brem brem Brehhhhhhhm!"
Yikes
I've driven this car, and it is a blast. Tons of power, not sure on the price though.
I’m curious to see who will be next. I have to imagine every manufacturer out there selling quick/fun EVs will want to incorporate this tech if for nothing else than to give people options.
ngl they should've given the evolution a 12-speed (imo would probably sound better/more intense if it mimicked a very short gear ratio), and then just had the supersonic as 1 long gear that ramps up like a normal turbine would.
Sounds like video game revving haha.
I love the 5N so much, but I'm worried it won't sell well or last long due to the cost. The crowd that it's designed for likely won't be able to afford it in this economy, myself included.
Someone needs to find out a way to add custom soundpacks to this thing. Imagine one that would make a turbo flutter on throttle release, or sample a v10 exhaust note.
This looks miles better to drive than a Tesla I’d be open to trying it but I won’t guarantee I’ll buy one 70k is wild.
So this is what performance EVs are resorting to? An artificial driving experience?
It’s gets dumber and dumber, I’ll just buy a real car and make an easy 800hp for half the price in a 5.0 and have a real car something that sounds real good not a Xbox with 4 wheels
