New Era of Electrified High Performance: Hyundai N Open for Booking

- IONIQ 5 N: Track-Bred, Road-Ready
The IONIQ 5 N is a bold statement in the world of electric performance – a vehicle that challenges the notion that EVs cannot deliver a truly visceral driving experience. Voted the 2024 World Performance Car, every element of the IONIQ 5 N has been purposefully engineered for performance, from its track-tuned chassis and bespoke N-specific hardware producing 650ps, to its suite of driver-focused technologies designed to put the driver firmly in control. This allows for a 0-100km/h sprint in just 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 260km/h, all while maintaining a practical WLTP range of 448km.
- IONIQ 6 N: Performance Refined
The IONIQ 6 N takes the IONIQ 5 N’s performance philosophy and elevates it further. Built on the aerodynamic IONIQ 6 sedan platform and awarded World Performance Car of 2026, the IONIQ 6 N extends the boundaries of what an electric performance car can be, combining a more refined dynamic character with an aggressive 650ps output. It achieves a blistering 0-100km/h sprint with time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 257km/h, supported by 487km WLTP range. To ensure ultimate precision, it features exclusive hardware as well, namely the Swan Neck Spoiler and an integrated Interior Action Camera Mounting.
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N and IONIQ 6 N are now available for booking, with starting prices of RM450,000 and RM460,000. Each booking includes RM2,000 worth of merchandise from the official Hyundai N collection.
These cars will be made to order, ensuring a personalized experience for buyers. Early booking is encouraged for those who want to be among the first to drive these high-performance electric vehicles in Malaysia.
You can book through Hyundai N authorized dealers such as Sime Darby Auto Hyundai Sdn Bhd (Central), Goh Brothers Motor Sdn Bhd (Northern), and Heng Lian Enterprise Bhd (East Malaysia). More dealer locations will be announced soon.
