The brand also packages physical CCS-to-NACS adapters to support both AC Level 2 and public DC fast-charging stations.Ten-Stage Drift Optimizer: The model's "N Drift Optimizer" system has been heavily upgraded. Instead of the previous single-mode configuration, drivers can now select from ten distinct, incremental drift assistance stages.Cabin & Color Additions: Inside, the vehicle gains a Forward Attention Warning system utilizing an in-cabin camera to monitor driver alertness.

This gives drivers an intuitive reference point for speed, motor RPM, and cornering entry velocities.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe revised 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is expected to begin arriving at North American dealerships this summer, carrying a destination and delivery charge of $1,600.Become an AutoGuide insider.
