It’s honestly insane how far Hyundai/Kia have become, if 10-15 years ago people said one day you’ll over 100k for either brand they’d honestly think you have a mental issue.
They are killing it and their cars are homestly a class above most of their competitors.
Their cars look awesome and sleek, the performance of the N/N Line models is exhilarating and fun, they are very AMG-esque.
I love the Sonata N Line and i30 Sedan N, they always put a smile on your face each time you get behind the wheel.

I must admit I’m not a fan of EV’s but what Hyundai has done with this is exceptional, although the fake noises are gimmicky atleast they’re trying to put some fun in the boring EV world and the performance is absolutely breathtaking. You’ll be destroying alot of European supercars off the lights in this, even in a roll you’ll gap alot of the competition that costs double or triple this car.

Han from F&F: Tokyo Drift won’t be dissing Hyundai today.

you know its a good car when paul says "far out" x 3 times in the span of 10 seconds lol

[lukeryan]

111k is expensive for a Hyundai, but it's not for a car that does 0-100 in mid 3's that also has handling and technology that adept. Masterclass from Hyundai

[Kruse]

Man, these things are massive. In pictures it looks like a normal little hatchback but I saw one (non N) in traffic and it was huge compared to other cars.

[damienwallis]

I’ve heard other car reviewers say similar things - best performance electric car especially for its price (Taycan is 3 times dearer). Great review Paul. Probably the first electric car I’d even consider buying.

I can't believe I actually want an EV now, I've been waiting for this video and think I'm convinced. It has similar (combined) power to my ZL1 Camaro but it can actually put the power down. No matter what speed I'm doing if I flaw it, it just goes sideways (which is fun & on private property of course) and in 60K k's I'm on my 5th set of tyres but that does include a fair few track days at Phillip Island.

Hyundai/KIA have been cooking lately! 10 years ago you would've been called crazy if you thought they would be building cars like they are today.

[shishirpradeep]

Amazing review Paul... Loved the video 😃

[RRSmurf]

Would I buy one even if I had the money? Nope.
Am I glad it exists? Hell yeah!

Love this thing!

[Sir_Saul]

Hyundai just made a standard for Performance EV cars

[mvnorsel]

In Australia you are not the only one to drive on ' ice '.

[ndychung]

The new N's padded centre console design is to brace your leg

[DiHandley]

I’m guessing that the term “far out” is not exactly what you wanted to say! 😂😂

[SillyBilly]

Looks awesome! Definitely a special car from Hyundai.

[perpetualgrin]

This is one of the cars that I'm genuinely excited to drive. My thoughts everytime behind my '380 '.

[andrewkemp]

Love the look of this thing! No doubt an absolute hoot to drive...

[hzeuin]

Optional Glass Roof!!! Bravo to Hyundai! They give people option to get rid of that POS "technology". You know, for people who don't want to pay for something which is utterly useless but costs a lot of money both initial and ongoing costs (insurance, having to run AC more because stupid thing lets in a lot of heat into the cabin, etc).

[user_z]

I wanted one of these for a while, when i was planning my change from gas dd to electric dd, but it didn't release in time. Also I just cant personally justify a ~16k usd price premium over a MYP for a very small increase in shits n giggles at the cost of range and charging infrastructure - especially here on the west coast. I love the 5n as a thing that exists, but it's main draw is trackability increase over competitors, but if i was actually going to track a car again id most definitely not go with a $66k usd unrepairable Hyundai. I'd just mod a used miata for 1/5 the price and end up with a better track car

[InitialKay]

This at least shows that manufactures are willing to develope a race oriented electric car rather than just making luxury SUVs

[wilkothewiz]

Just seen these available in Carsales and thought it was a limited run and limited order only. I have a 2021 AWD Ioniq 5 and love it. I'd trade my current Ioniq5 for one of these for sure. I love it.
