N Performance Technology

N Grin Boost temporarily unlocks the IONIQ 6 N’s maximum power output, increasing output from 601 horsepower to as much as 641 horsepower and maximum torque to 568 lb-ft.

N e-Shift uses the steering-wheel-mounted paddles to provide virtual gear shifting, giving drivers a more interactive performance experience despite the vehicle’s single-speed electric reduction gear.

N Electronic Controlled Suspension works with N-specific chassis tuning and high-performance dampers to help the IONIQ 6 N balance everyday road use with the more demanding conditions encountered during performance driving.

Built for More Than Straight-Line Speed

The IONIQ 6 N’s performance upgrades extend beyond its electric motors. Hyundai equips the car with a MacPherson-strut front suspension, five-link rear suspension and electronically controlled high-performance dampers. Its braking system uses 15.7-inch ventilated front discs and 14.2-inch ventilated rear discs, along with regenerative braking and N e-Shift virtual gear-shift paddles.

The IONIQ 6 N rides on 20 x 9.5-inch forged alloy wheels weighing approximately 33 pounds each and fitted with 275/35R20 Pirelli P ZERO performance tires developed to complement the vehicle’s high-performance character.

NACS and 800-Volt Ultra-Fast Charging

Performance is only part of the IONIQ 6 N story. Its 84.0-kWh battery is paired with Hyundai’s ultra-fast charging architecture and a factory-installed NACS charge port located on the passenger-side rear quarter panel.

  • 84.0-kWh lithium-ion battery
  • NACS charging port
  • 10.9-kW onboard charger
  • Ultra-fast charging capability up to 800 volts / 350 kW
  • Approximately 18 minutes from 10% to 80% using a compatible 350-kW, 800-volt DC fast charger with CCS adapter
  • Approximately 30 minutes from 10% to 80% using 150-kW NACS DC fast charging
  • Approximately 7 hours and 20 minutes from 10% to 100% using standard 240V Level 2 AC charging
  • Battery preconditioning
  • Vehicle-to-Load capability with an external charge-port accessory adapter

Charging times are based on Hyundai specifications and can vary substantially based on charger output, battery temperature and state of charge, ambient temperature and other conditions.
