Hyundai signals bolder N EVs with more immersive tech and a new platform
Hyundai says the IONIQ 5 N’s virtual gear shift and N Active Sound+ are just the start, with future N EVs set to gain more realism—potential features include idling, exhaust backfiring, and cabin vibration—while the company moves to a new IMA platform that preserves 800V charging and promises incremental gains in thermal management and efficiency, building on the IONIQ 5 N and IONIQ 6 N.
