The first details of the technical infrastructure for the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, whose messages have been given in different details for a while, have been shared.
Attracting all the attention especially on the design side with its Ioniq product range, Hyundai has also started official steps for the performance side of the electric age. Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, which has been on our radar with independent photos for a while, will be the first member of the family to be moved to mass production with this badge. The official sources of the brand shared important information about this study, which will bring together the N models and electric mobility, which especially attracts the attention of performance-loving users.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 will come with ‘e-LSD’ differential
It has been announced that the current winter tests of the Ioniq 5, which will be the first high-performance mass-produced electric N model, have been carried out at the Hyundai Mobis Proving Center site in Arjeplog, Sweden. While the driving dynamics are tested on the ground completely covered with ice, the temperature dropping to -30 degrees reveals the limits of the infrastructure dynamics. In this context, cold weather conditions that affect the battery and charging time completely complicate the working principle of electric cars in winter. Testing the battery and HTRAC all-wheel drive system of the Ioniq 5 N, Hyundai N engineers focused on achieving the optimum balance between driving character and performance capability in extreme low friction conditions.

The cornering ability of the Ioniq 5 N, which will also test at the Nürburgring, will be supported by improved driving modes. In addition to the driving modes; N Drift Optimizer also supports the car’s front and rear torque distribution, torque ratio, suspension stiffness, steering responses and the e-LSD (electronic Limited Slip Differential) system. The “N Drift” mode, which helps drivers of all levels to enjoy drifting, will be one of the features that excite performance enthusiast users.
One of the most striking infrastructure components in this car will be a specially developed e-LSD, a limited-slip differential. Driven by a fully electronic control unit, this differential instantly analyzes the responses from the sensors to determine when the wheel needs extra torque to improve handling. The e-LSD variably transmits high torque to the wheels to optimize grip on the race track or during high-tempo driving.

The IONIQ 5 N also effectively uses the optimized “N Torque” mode for different driving modes. Allowing to select the torque level for both the front and rear wheels, this system works with the e-LSD to distribute power to all four wheels in varying proportions. This directly affects the drift mode, increasing the level of enjoyment to the top. Hyundai will reveal more technical information and equipment in the coming days. The exciting Hyundai IONIQ 5 N will be available after the launch in July.
