Hyundai just revealed a set of teaser images of the forthcoming 2026 Ioniq 6 N, and if fast EVs tickle your fancy, you will want to watch this car. No, this isn't just another attractive electric vehicle; this is a performance version of Hyundai's already attractive Ioniq 6. Set to debut in full at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July 2025, this all-electric sports sedan is already making headlines.
Let's make sense of why this EV is exciting in a fun and engaging way.
More Athletic Appearance with Race-Inspired Aesthetics
Based upon the teaser images, Hyundai is making a statement. The Ioniq 6 N has had a full makeover, complete with wider fenders, a larger front splitter, a brand new rear wing, and larger wheels that proclaim "performance". The car is clearly lower and more planted than the normal Ioniq 6, as though it was created for road tripping and track days. Even under shadows and camo wraps, there is no doubt about the intentions of this EV. If feels like Hyundai's designers took the graceful Ioniq 6, injected it with adrenaline, and then let it loose.
Power and Performance You Can Feel
Hyundai hasn’t put out official figures yet, but expectations are that the Ioniq 6 N will build off of the Ioniq 5 N’s dual-motor 641-hp setup. The expectation is for this sexy sedan to go from 0-60 mph in under 3 seconds. It will probably have the same N features like the N Grin Boost (yes, that is what it’s called) for short blasts of the full power and N e-Shift, which simulates gear shifts to make the drive more like a traditional sports car.
Built for Thrill and Daily Drive
What’s exciting about the Ioniq 6 N is more than just its performance, it's that Hyundai wants you to have fun with it and is attempting to make it practical. Expect it to be usable everyday with some serious performance, so you can drive it to work during the week and still put some red tire marks at the track on the weekend if you are into that type of thing. This is the unique combination of comfort and chaos that we are seeing from the N division of Hyundai, and this is also what the marketplace is looking for with personality in electric cars.
Tech and Interior Details Still Under Wraps
Hyundai has not revealed much about the cabin, however, if the Ioniq 5 N is any indication, expect a cool driver oriented cockpit with sporty seats and N themed graphics and performance gauges. It is going to have the latest version of Hyundai's infotainment system with EV driving modes, launch control and more performance data displays. This vehicle will have brains and brawn from the inside out.
When and Where to Expect It
The full reveal is slated for July 2025 during the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the U.K. Following that we can expect a U.S. launch in early 2026, but dates have not been announced yet. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet either, but if the Ioniq 5 N starts around $66,000, you can expect the Ioniq 6 N to also be in that same range.
