World’s Best Electric Driver’s Car? (Hyundai Ioniq 6 N 2026 Review)

Foreshadowed by the RN22e concept and Ioniq 5 N SUV, the brand new Ioniq 6 N from Hyundai represents the cutting edge of what Korea – and perhaps the world – is capable of in production electric high-performance driving fun. Not only is the hyper-sedan impressively powerful (478kW and 770Nm on N Grin Boost mode) and incredibly quick (3.2 seconds 0-100km/h), it’s crammed with a dizzying array of tech aimed to providing a huge amount of driver adjustment to its clever systems. At $115,000 list for its single Australian specification, the Ioniq 6 N is also somewhat attainable for the performance promise it’s pitching. Cashing Cars deputy editor Curt Dupriez attempts to cover off the fun and tech stuff, but also looks into what Hyundai’s most manic EV experience is like once you dial down the heat.
