► A glimpse of the new Ioniq 6 N
► Hyundai’s hot streamliner confirmed for production
► Officially revealed at Goodwood FoS 2025
Finally! Hyundai’s next electric N car has been officially confirmed. The new Ioniq 6 N will make its full public debut at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed. This will be Hyundai N’s second electric car, following on from the utterly excellent 5 N. No pressure, Hyundai.
For now, though, this is all we’re getting. And by ‘this’, we mean a single teaser image of the 6 N’s rear end poking out of a garage, seen between two facelifted Ioniq 6 models that were unveiled at the 2025 Seoul Mobility Show.
Naturally, we can assume a few things will be true. First of all, N’s visual trinketry will be front and centre; big sporty wheels, an aggressive bodykit and a rear wing that can be seen in the image. Simon Loasby, senior vice president and head of Hyundai’s design centre, tells us: ‘there will be a fixed normal spoiler and an optional spoiler, tuning packages and so on. We also had the chance with 6 N to widen the fenders; with the 5 N it’s just cladding, but with this… I mean, who wouldn’t want a widebody?’
The facelifted Ioniq 6’s lighting design and tweaked cockpit will feature, too, and the 6 N will almost certainly include some sports seats and flashes of red and light blue inside.
As for performance, there are no official numbers yet. But, again, we can expect something very similar to the 641bhp twin-motor setup seen in the 5 N, complete with simulated ‘manual’ shifting, fake (but very good) engine noises and some sweet drive modes to encourage hooliganism. ‘We learned a lot from 5 N about how to make an engaging driving experience with an EV in terms of shifting and sounds and how we could fake it,’ says Loasb. ‘Fake it in a way that is just such fun.’
Hyundai has confirmed the 6 N will be revealed at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed in July.
