2026 Hyundai IONIQ 6 N Debuts Today at Goodwood Festival

Hyundai just dropped a bombshell at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England. The 2026 IONIQ 6 N made its world debut today, showing that electric cars can be serious performance machines.

This isn't just another electric sedan. The IONIQ 6 N packs 650 hp in boost mode and rockets from 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds. That puts it in supercar territory while running on pure electricity.

Power Numbers That Actually Matter

The IONIQ 6 N delivers power through two motors - one up front and a bigger one at the back. Here's how the numbers break down:

Motor Output:

  • Front motor: 238 hp
  • Rear motor: 412 hp
  • Combined boost: 650 hp
  • Standard output: 609 hp
  • Peak torque: 568 lb-ft

The dual-motor setup gives the car all-wheel drive with a rear bias. This means better handling and that satisfying push-you-back-in-your-seat acceleration that sports cars are known for.

Built for Track Days and Daily Drives


Hyundai designed the IONIQ 6 N around three core ideas: Corner Rascal, Racetrack Capability, and Everyday Sportscar. Translation? It handles corners like a race car but won't beat you up on your morning commute.

The suspension got a complete makeover with new geometry and stroke-sensing dampers. These fancy shock absorbers adjust on the fly, giving you comfort when you want it and track-ready stiffness when you need it.

Key Performance Features:

  • N Launch Control for maximum acceleration
  • N Drift Optimizer for controlled sliding
  • N Battery system for consistent power delivery
  • N Track Manager for analyzing lap times
  • N e-Shift for that gear-shifting feeling

Charging and Range Details

The IONIQ 6 N uses an 84.0 kWh battery that charges incredibly fast. With a 350 kW charger, you can go from 10% to 80% charge in about 18 minutes under ideal conditions.

Hyundai hasn't announced the driving range yet, but they promise details when the car launches in Canadian markets.
