Hyundai to Bring Ioniq 6 N and Elantra N TCR Edition to U.S. in 2026 in Limited Numbers

Hyundai is using low-volume performance models to cement its N brand's credibility in the U.S.

Overview

  • The U.S.-spec Ioniq 6 N debuted at the Los Angeles Auto Show, with Hyundai confirming limited availability in 2026.
  • The electric sedan uses dual motors for 601 hp, rising to 641 hp with N Grin Boost, enabling about 0–60 mph in 3.2 seconds and a top speed near 160 mph.
  • An 84 kWh battery supports 350 kW DC fast charging for a 10%–80% refill in roughly 18 minutes, with U.S. EPA range unannounced after a 291-mile WLTP figure in Korea.
  • The Elantra N TCR Edition is slated for a limited U.S. run in Q1 2026 with a carbon-fiber swan‑neck rear wing, larger four-piston front brakes, 19-inch forged wheels, and Alcantara interior accents, retaining the standard Elantra N powertrain with manual or DCT options.
  • Hyundai describes these as halo products for enthusiasts rather than volume sellers, with U.S. pricing and official Ioniq 6 N range still to be announced.
