the hyundai n brand was born in 2015. although it has not been established for a long time, it has made its mark in major motor sports events thanks to the profound heritage of hyundai motor and the superb skills of the engineers in the r&d team.

as for this brand of cars, many people have only heard of them but have not actually driven them. this time we came to the tianfu circuit to experience this brand's products and truly felt its charm.

IONIQ 5 N

from the moment you heard the sound, you can clearly feel the uniqueness of this car.

with n's exclusive n active sound+ (n simulated sound system+), ioniq 5 n can simulate high-performance sound effects such as the roar of an internal combustion engine, backfire, and sonic boom during driving. to be honest, this experience is quite psychedelic, and i even forget for a moment that this is an electric car.

the dual-motor system of ioniq 5 n has a total output of 585 horsepower and a peak torque of 740 nm. this power configuration makes it perform well in acceleration, accelerating from a standstill to 100 kilometers per hour in just 3.4 seconds, and the maximum speed reaches 260 kilometers per hour. it not only has excellent performance in straight-line acceleration, but also shows extraordinary handling when turning, thanks to its advanced four-wheel drive system, which ensures stability and grip under various road conditions.

in order to cope with different driving scenarios, ioniq 5 n is also equipped with a dynamic boost mode. with just a touch of a button on the steering wheel, the vehicle's power can be increased from 585 horsepower to 650 horsepower in 10 seconds, providing additional power support for overtaking or rapid acceleration, further enhancing driving pleasure and practicality.

the braking system is undoubtedly a highlight of the ioniq 5 n's performance lineup. this electric model is equipped with large high-performance brake discs with a diameter of 400 mm at the front and 360 mm at the rear. this configuration ensures immediate and efficient deceleration, giving the driver full confidence to explore the vehicle's ultimate potential. however, compared with traditional hydraulic braking systems, the ioniq 5 n uses an energy recovery system, which makes the braking experience slightly "artificial" and less natural. despite this, the actual effectiveness of this system is indisputable, and during the test drive on the tianfu circuit, it also provides the driver with extremely high control confidence.

the battery pack capacity of ioniq 5 n is 77.4 kwh, and it can travel about 450 kilometers when fully charged, depending on different driving scenarios. it is worth mentioning that its charging system is top-notch among its peers, supporting ultra-fast charging function, which can charge the battery from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes, greatly facilitating users' daily use and long-distance travel needs.

in the chassis design of ioniq 5 n, engineers carefully created the ultimate rigidity to provide drivers with unparalleled stability and precise control experience. its fully adjustable shock absorber system gives drivers the power to freely adjust the suspension settings to ensure that every drive can be optimized according to personal preferences.

the core is the n grin control system, which provides four different driving modes for the driver to choose: eco (economy), normal (normal), sport (sports) and n (high performance). each mode can significantly affect the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle, including steering response, power output and suspension system sensitivity, so as to achieve a personalized driving experience. what's more worth mentioning is that the driver can even customize his own driving mode and fine-tune every detail.

at the same time, the interior design is actually a highlight of the ioniq 5 n. even though the car body is small, both the legroom and headroom can basically meet the needs of passengers of different sizes. for the author, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, except for the middle seat in the back row, other seats can basically meet the comfort of daily riding. in long-distance travel, this spacious interior space has become an advantage of this size car.

the layout of the interior space also reflects the humanistic concept of modern car design. ioniq 5 n adopts intelligent storage solutions, cleverly utilizing every inch of space so that daily necessities can find a suitable place.

therefore, the hyundai ioniq 5 n not only demonstrates outstanding sports characteristics in terms of performance, but also excels in practicality. it can be used on the track as well as for daily commuting.

elantra n

as the performance model of elantra, the 2.0t power output of elantra n is quite strong, even in normal mode, the power is quite sufficient. and the throttle response of this engine is completely arbitrary, and the power comes as it is said. even in the high speed area, the power is still sufficient, even if it competes with pure electric vehicles, it is not inferior at all.

the "n mode" also provides various custom parameters, with two custom buttons for modes, which can instantly switch to the "chicken blood" mode according to your driving needs, and improve the vehicle's response by several levels.

the "ngs" button on the steering wheel can provide a 7.5-kilowatt power boost, making acceleration more direct and lasting for 20 seconds.

in terms of chassis, the suspension soft and hard support has three adjustable modes. the softest mode meets the driving comfort needs in daily driving. no additional modification is required for daily road driving or track driving. the limit of the car is already very high.

switching to the most sporty mode, the vehicle has strong support. when passing through high-speed corners, the roll suppression is in place and the road feel is very clear. the 19-inch high-performance michelin custom wide tires have strong grip and are almost sticking to the track when turning. the stability is good when turning at high speeds. with the 4-point strut ring (four-point competition tower top), sitting on the lightweight bucket seat in the car, the vehicle and the driver also have a lot of communication.

in addition to the underlying mechanical hardware, the new car also attempts to add electronic intelligent configuration. as a typical front-wheel drive car, it is equipped with an electronically controlled friction plate e-lsd limited-slip differential and adopts the ida integrated drive axle technology derived from the modern wrc champion car. the front axle is reduced by 1.7kg, which increases the lateral g value under extreme conditions, making the cornering limit of the new car higher. this time, there was almost no sign of pushing the front at the tianfu circuit.

therefore, with the technical support of e-lsd limited-slip differential + ida integrated drive axle, combined with the good grip of michelin pilot sport 4s special tires, on the zhuhai circuit, as long as you control the cornering speed and the center of the bend well, there will be almost no pushing of the head, and the tracking performance is very good when exiting the bend, leaving you enough time to accelerate the accelerator, and it is easy to achieve the standard speed when exiting the bend.

never just drive is the slogan of hyundai n brand. we can also see the interpretation of this sentence from their products. in the era of new energy, we still need such cars to satisfy driving pleasure and the most original love for cars.
