Hyundai Motor’s Ioniq 5 N produces 641 hp when its N Grin Boost is activated, the highest power ever recorded for a production hatchback.

Market Impact

The all-electric hatchback accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, according to Hyundai, faster than any rival in the segment. A dual-motor AWD drivetrain and N Grin Boost software raise output to 641 hp from a 577 hp base, beating the previous petrol-powered peak of 416 hp set by the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+.

The model slots ahead of the 416 hp Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+ and the 394 hp Audi RS 3 Sportback, both petrol-powered rivals, Hyundai said.

Hyundai did not provide a comparator to prior quarters or forecasts. Orders in Malaysia are scheduled to open in the third quarter; pricing was not disclosed.
