Street Lines: 2025 Ioniq 5 N AWD 

As the welcomed trend of all-electric automobiles continues to build, so does the innovation to make them more exciting, powerful, and attractive. The 2025 Ioniq 5 N Hyundai checks all the boxes and then some. 

When the “N” badge is associated with the trim for any of this carmaker’s models, the auto industry is alerted that power and a thrilling ride follow with the goal to wow especially racing enthusiasts. The bonus is this model still maintains the comfort and roominess of the more practical Ioniq 5 from the 2022 generation’s launch; the N just possesses a demon under the hood. 

While the cubic body, futuristic lighting, 21-inch alloy wheels, and “Soultronic” orange will collectively turn heads, let’s get straight to the excitement hiding behind the wheel. Minus the roars of what traditional gas-guzzling muscle cars produce, this EV is a silent assassin. Powered by dual high-performance electric motors, the Ioniq goes 0 to 60 mph in just over three seconds, plus a mind-boggling 601 horsepower and 545 lb-ft. of torque. And as if that’s not enough, the steering wheel has the automaker’s signature boost button, taking this SUV to a reportedly 641 mph. With all this power—plus paddle shifters, metal pedals, and shift-by-wire gear selection to make things even more interesting—the handling is enhanced with all-wheel drive and electronically controlled suspension. The driving range is 221 miles and takes about 8.7 hours to charge. 

There are plenty of perks Hyundai provides with their automobiles, and the Ionic 5 continues the applauded tradition. Besides terrorizing the road, the packages in this review model are highly recommended, from safety to the 2025-and-beyond technology bundled in one. The amenities are plentiful, including Alcantara with Hi-Tex seating, sport bucket front seats, and an overall spacious cabin to fit up to five adults comfortably lit up with ambient lighting. Mastering the art of minimalism, the user-friendly controls activate the vibrant 12.3-inch digital cluster, surround view monitor with a bird’s eye perspective, digital rearview mirror, eight-speaker BOSE sound system, WiFi, Apple/Android connectivity, and long list of standard features you must go to the website to explore. Note that the Hyundai’s Bluelink app provides even more advantageous functions to activate remotely. Of course, Hyundai’s industry leading warranties—5 years/60,000 miles (new vehicle) and 10 years /100,000 miles (EV System) ease the mind as well. 

Going electric is one thing. Experiencing an electrifying drive no matter the journey is another. If potential buyers are looking for both qualities, go all the way in with this N trim. The future awaits.
