Hyundai has sent out the first official teaser images of its next all-electric performance hero; the 2026 IONIQ 6 N. Designed to take the baton from the awesome IONIQ 5 N, the new model promises a fresh take on the brand’s high-performance EV ambitions, this time wrapped in a sleek, low-slung four-door coupe silhouette.
The teaser – showing the production version (a previous teaser showed only a glimpse) – reveals an aggressive, motorsport-inspired look, featuring a prominent rear wing, pumped-up wheel arches, and a wider stance, all as expected. Hyundai says the car has undergone intensive aerodynamic refinement to ensure high-speed stability, with every detail crafted to enhance downforce and efficiency.
Positioned as a proper driver’s car, above the AWD IONIQ 6, the N will carry forward Hyundai N’s trademark trio of key characteristics; ‘Corner Rascal’, ’Racetrack Capability’ and ‘Everyday Sports Car’.
While full technical details are still under wraps, the new model is expected to offer a leap in performance, albeit building on the dual-motor setup and torque vectoring systems pioneered in the IONIQ 5 N. The 5 produces up to 478kW.
Hyundai’s N division has confirmed the IONIQ 6 N will make its dynamic debut at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed in July, where it will run up the famous hill climb. Joon Park, head of N management group, said:
“IONIQ 6 N will once again disrupt the high-performance EV segment to deliver exciting driving experiences to our fans. We chose to debut the IONIQ 6 N at Goodwood Festival of Speed to be as close to our fans as possible.”
Full specs and local launch timing will be announced in the coming months. Stay tuned.
