That time makes Hyundai's 641-hp AWD EV a 10th of a second faster than the Kia EV6 GT, and the N is 1.5 seconds speedier than the standard 320-hp double engine Ioniq 5.

Welcome to Vehicle and Driver's Trying Center, where we focus in on the test numbers. We've been pushing vehicles as far as possible beginning around 1956 to give objective information to support our abstract impressions (you can perceive how we test here).
Nothing sends a cell phone into flight mode very like the nutty speed increase of an electric vehicle. They're weighty, however their violently moment force conveyance and direct-drive transmissions make for some fast speed. The best part is that a hot trapdoor, for example, the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N we recently tried, speeds up like a six-figure sports vehicle however for a portion of the expense. Stunningly, the $67K electric N's 3.0-second tear to 60 mph is only three tenths of a second behind a 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 PDK. The last time a Hyundai put this much squeeze on a Porsche, it was uninsured and closely following somebody on California's 405.
