Hyundai Ioniq 5 N makes 2024 World Performance Car top 3 finalist roster

MANILA: Hyundai Motor Company announced that the N variant of the Ioniq 5 has been named one of the top three finalists for the 2024 World Performance Car Award.

Introduced in July 2023, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N represents a new segment of high-performance electric vehicles through new technologies and elevated racetrack capability.

Per the South Korean carmaker, the Ioniq 5 N signals the first step in N’s electrification strategy and combines Hyundai Motor Group’s Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) with N’s motorsport-bred technologies — leveraging the marque’s performance division’s expertise from electrified “Rolling Labs” to maximize the EV’s high-performance capabilities.

The said nomination reflects the Seoul-headquartered brand’s growing stature on the global stage and builds on its past success at the World Car Awards. Previously, Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 became back-to-back triple winners of the 2022 and 2023 World Car of the Year, World Electric Vehicle, and World Car Design of the Year honors.

The final winners of the 2024 World Car Awards will be announced on March 27 at a live awards ceremony during the 2024 New York International Auto Show.

While the N version is not for sale in the Philippines, the original Hyundai Ioniq 5 is available here in the country with a price tag that ranges from P3.068 million to P3.698 million.
