That’s monstrous by any measure, but pack that into this little four-door and you’ve got yourself a serious wolf in sheep’s clothing. It also pumps out 567.9 ft-lb of torque. Together with its horsepower, that means it can hit 0-62 mph in a blistering 3.2 seconds and max out at just under 160 mph.
That quickness puts it on par with vehicles like the BMW M3 Competition Sedan, Aston Martin Vantage, and Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. It’s unclear what, if anything, the Hyundai engineers were smoking when they proposed this car, but I’m not going to complain about it.
If looks could thrill
While the performance numbers are enough to get excited about, even for those still skeptical of EVs (but, like, why?), they’re far from the only things this car has going for it. For instance, the Ioniq 6 Ns looks will do much of the heavy lifting in getting people interested.
For starters, it’s not an SUV. In a world where more and more cars are going the way of the dodo in favor of more bulbous sport utility vehicles — and some, like the Mustang, even metamorphizing — that scores it major points. It doesn’t hurt that this car has pleasing curves, culminating in a sleek fastback that toes the line between sedan and hot hatch.
