Hyundai Ioniq 6 N Reaches Australia at $115,000
Hyundai signals a more affordable performance EV to widen N’s appeal after limited uptake of its six‑figure electric flagships.
Overview
- The Ioniq 6 N is now on sale in Australia at $115,000 before on-road costs, with Hyundai offering it as a low-volume, custom-order car and quoting about a three-month turnaround after the first batch.
- The dual-motor all-wheel-drive sedan delivers up to 478kW and 770Nm using N Grin Boost, with a claimed 0–100km/h time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 257km/h.
- An 84kWh battery is rated at 487km WLTP range and supports 350kW DC charging for a 10–80 percent top-up in about 18 minutes, and the reworked aero package targets a 0.274 drag coefficient with a swan‑neck rear wing that can add up to 100kg of downforce.
- Sold in one fully equipped grade, it features N e‑Shift simulated gear changes, N Active Sound+, adaptive suspension, an electronic limited-slip differential, 400mm front brakes, and 20‑inch forged wheels, plus a seven‑year vehicle warranty and an eight‑year/160,000km battery warranty.
- Hyundai officials say a cheaper electric N model is in development, with an Ioniq 3 N hot hatch floated for Australia if built, a shift aimed at boosting volumes after 311 Ioniq 5 N sales to March and as affordable petrol N models exit.
