How does it compare?
Hyundai Ioniq 5 N isn’t just your average hatchback with a trendy electric twist; it’s a ferocious beast thats about to redefine the EV landscape. Let’s pit it against the likes of Ford Mustang Mach-E GT, Tesla Model Y Performance, Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback 50, and Volkswagen ID.4 GTX to see who reigns supreme in this electrified class.
Range
When it comes to the all-important range, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N boasts a respectable 435 kilometers (270 miles), a solid performance but not exactly class-leading. The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT stretches its legs to about 500 kilometers (311 miles), while the Tesla Model Y Performance can comfortably take you around 450 kilometers (280 miles) on a single charge. The Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback 50 brings up the rear with a range of approximately 405 kilometers (252 miles), and the Volkswagen ID.4 GTX sneaks in with about 460 kilometers (286 miles). So, if distance is your goal, the Mustang and ID.4 hold the slight edge.
Acceleration
Now, in terms of sheer, gut-punching acceleration, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N does the 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) dance in a scorching 3.4 seconds. That’s the kind of speed that’ll make your morning commute feel like a sprint finish at Le Mans. The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT isn’t far behind, hitting the mark in 3.7 seconds. The Tesla Model Y Performance zips ahead of the Mach-E at 3.5 seconds. Meanwhile, the Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback 50 and Volkswagen ID.4 GTX are more leisurely, clocking in at 5.9 and 6.2 seconds, respectively. For speed demons, the Ioniq 5 N sets the bar high.
Power
Under the hood—or rather, under the chassis—the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N packs a walloping 650 horsepower. Its the kind of brute force that enthusiasts crave. The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT also flexes its muscles with an impressive 480 horsepower. Meanwhile, the Tesla Model Y Performance dishes out a commendable 450 horsepower. The Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback 50 provides a more modest 295 horsepower, while the Volkswagen ID.4 GTX musters 299 horsepower. In this horsepower showdown, the Ioniq 5 N roars the loudest.
Charging Time
When it’s time to juice up, efficiency matters. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N leverages its 84 kWh battery for a rapid charge from 10 to 80 percent in a brisk 18 minutes at a 350 kW charger. Not bad at all. The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT takes about 45 minutes to do the same, while the Tesla Model Y Performance is primed to get back in action in about 25 minutes courtesy of Tesla’s Supercharger network. The Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback 50 and Volkswagen ID.4 GTX require around 38 and 35 minutes respectively. Here, the Ioniq’s speed is evident, making it perfect for those on the go.
Price
Ah, and now the moolah. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N comes in at a weighty $70,000 (£54,000 or €65,000). Comparatively, the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT is a touch lighter on your wallet at $62,000 (£48,000 or €57,000). The Tesla Model Y Performance tucks in at $66,000 (£50,000 or €62,000). The Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback 50 tags along at $51,000 (£42,000 or €48,000), and the Volkswagen ID.4 GTX edges in at $55,000 (£43,000 or €51,000). If you’re shopping on a budget, the Q4 e-tron is your friend, but if you want to bang for your buck, the Ioniq 5 N could be worth every penny.
