Prototypes of the new 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N have just arrived for winter testing in northern Sweden. The Koreans have been hunted with a prototype of the sportier version of the new electric model. The spy photos show a special camouflage very typical of the high performance division.
Discreet but drawing attention to what is just and necessary for very specific details. This is how one of the prototypes of the new Hyundai IONIQ 5 N 2023 on the icy roads of northern Sweden, where he has come to undergo the usual tests under extreme cold. The sportiest of the new electric models of the South Korean brand has appeared in new spy photosafter months disappeared, because the last time he did it was last summer.
The first two public appearances took place nearby, and on the Nürburgring circuit itself, but then he did it uncovered and only betrayed by the larger section of the rear tires, with the front ones also sporting a very low profile. Even also the somewhat lower suspension. The same qualities that this more special prototype of the new IONIQ 5 also shares, and to which is added a colorful camouflage that we have seen in the sportier Hyundai models, especially in its final phase of testing.

But it is that this new prototype of the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N 2023 almost confirms that It is the first development of Hyundai N for the large consonant that has been drawn on the camouflage, and that shows off the slogan of this division: «Never just drive». A very special detail that was never seen in the units of the conventional model. The new high-performance electric model hardly hints at new details, despite the tight vinyl that covers the bodywork.
They only appreciate some rivets on the arch of the wheel arches, that the IONIQ 5 does not have in any of its versions and that we did not perceive in the first units in tests in Germany. If you look more closely, you will notice an addition of black plastic, a very thin piece to hide the little extra in the width of the two tracks. Those of Hyundai N will not throw the house out the window with important aesthetic modifications, rather the fair ones, but they will try to highlight some bulkier wheel arches.
The new Hyundai IONIQ 5 N will be one of the great novelties of the South Korean brand mid 2023. The firm will offer a more dynamic set-up of the “e-GMP” platform of electric cars, but also a first-class drive configuration that will surpass the equivalents of the Volkswagen group and the IONIQ 5 range itself. Two electric motors, one per axle and with all-wheel drivewhose power figure can reach up to 585 hp of the KIA EV6 GT. The equipped battery will be the one with the highest capacity available in the organ bank. With 77 kWhin a few months he will be on board the Korean model carrying autonomy above 600 kilometers.
