The 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is more attainable than ever, after the automaker slashed $6,300 off the MSRP.
\nOne of the best performance EVs out there now comes with a native Tesla-style NACS charge port.
\nThe 2026 model includes other small improvements, too.<\/p>\n

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N<\/a> is one of our favorite performance EVs, and it\u2019s now more affordable than ever. For the 2026 model year, Hyundai<\/a> slashed the starting price of its go-fast EV by a whopping $6,300, bringing the final figure to $61,500.<\/p>\n

The move brings the Ioniq 5 N closer to the Tesla Model Y Performance\u2019s<\/a> $59,630 selling price, though in terms of range, the Tesla is still way ahead of its Hyundai rival. The 2026 Ioniq 5 N is rated at 221 miles on a full charge, while the 2026 Model Y Performance has an EPA-estimated 306 miles of range.<\/p>\n

That being said, there\u2019s nothing quite like the Ioniq 5 N when it comes to pure driving joy, and for 2026, Hyundai\u2019s performance EV comes with a few improvements, including a native Tesla-style NACS charge port, which allows it to recharge at compatible Tesla Superchargers without an adapter\u2014though Hyundai will bundle a set of adapters for DC fast charging and AC charging, as well as a dual-voltage mobile charger.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, the N Drift Optimizer feature, which allows the driver to effortlessly drift the all-wheel drive EV, now comes with ten selectable stages, whereas the previous model had a single mode. An in-cabin camera for the Forward Attention Warning system is now standard, and the rear windows can now go up and down automatically at a single button press. There\u2019s also a new Performance Blue Pearl Exterior color.<\/p>\n

Everything else stays the same, but that\u2019s not exactly a bad thing, as the Ioniq 5 N already packed a hefty punch before this minor update. Now, though, customers will get to enjoy the 641 horsepower, razor-sharp handling, and simulated gearshifts at a lower price. As a reminder, the Ioniq 5 N debuted Hyundai\u2019s N e-Shift technology, which mimics the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission in Hyundai\u2019s gas-powered N models.<\/p>\n

It sounds like a gimmick, but it actually makes the car a lot more fun and engaging to drive, thanks in no small part to the N Active Sound+ system, which simulates the sounds of an automatic car.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur 2026 Ioniq 5 N is one of the most critically acclaimed models we\u2019ve ever offered,\u201d said Ricky Lao, director, product planning, Hyundai Motor North America. \u201cIoniq 5 N\u2019s exceptional performance, technology, and innovation without compromise is now priced within the reach of even more driving enthusiasts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Besides the huge power output and fun electronics, the Ioniq 5 N comes with an electronic limited-slip rear differential and Hyundai\u2019s 800-volt battery that can be charged from 10% to 80% in as little as 18 minutes when hooked up to a 350-kilowatt charger.<\/p>\n
