The battery-electric model now starts at $59,900 before a $1,600 destination charge, representing a $6,300 reduction compared to the previous model year. According to the manufacturer, the price adjustment forms part of a broader strategy to make its N performance brand more accessible.
Alongside the lower price, Hyundai has introduced several equipment updates. The 2026 Ioniq 5 N replaces its CCS charging inlet with a North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, giving drivers direct access to Tesla’s Supercharger network. Hyundai also includes CCS-to-NACS adapters for both AC and DC charging as standard, alongside a dual-voltage Level 1/Level 2 portable charging cable.
The list of updates also includes a revised N Drift Optimizer with ten selectable stages instead of a single setting, a Forward Attention Warning system using an in-cabin camera, automatic up/down operation for the rear windows, and a new Performance Blue Pearl exterior paint finish.
The technical package remains unchanged. The Ioniq 5 N continues to deliver up to 478 kW when N Grin Boost is activated. The model is based on Hyundai Motor Group’s Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) and combines the dedicated EV architecture with technologies developed by Hyundai’s N performance division.
