Hyundai is ready to light up the world stage with the IONIQ 6 N, it is most exciting electric sports sedan launched. Scheduled to debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on July 10, 2025, the IONIQ 6 N is already making waves among Indian EV fans, many of whom still remember the buzz created by the IONIQ 5 N earlier this year.
If you’re someone who’s driven on the Yamuna Expressway and wished your EV had a bit more punch in the corners, or if you’ve taken a road trip from Delhi to Jaipur and missed the sound and feel of a performance car — Hyundai wants to change that with the IONIQ 6 N. This isn’t just about speed — it’s about driving pleasure, feedback, and control — things petrolheads love, now reimagined in an EV.
Bringing Back the Thrill of Driving, Electrified
The IONIQ 6 N goes beyond numbers. Yes, it’s expected to deliver rapid acceleration and high torque, but Hyundai’s real innovation lies in how it feels to drive. It brings features like:
- N e-shift, which simulates the feeling of gear changes — something Indian performance car fans usually miss when switching to electric.
- N Active Sound+, to give an emotional audio response that petrol cars naturally deliver — useful for folks transitioning from sporty ICE cars like the VW Polo GT or the Skoda Octavia RS.
- A drift mode with advanced customization — a fun feature that’s gaining interest among Indian enthusiasts who follow drifting culture on YouTube and in motorsports.
The car’s suspension geometry has been redesigned to make it more agile in corners, with a lowered roll center for better stability — think sharp bends on Lonavala ghats or Shimla’s winding roads. Its electronically controlled dampers also ensure smoother rides on uneven Indian roads.
While performance EVs are still a niche in India, models like the BYD Seal and MG’s upcoming Cyberster have shown there’s growing demand. The IONIQ 6 N could very well set the benchmark.
Global Debut, But India Is Watching
Although Hyundai hasn’t officially confirmed if the IONIQ 6 N will come to India, the IONIQ 5 N was recently showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2024, and sources including Autocar India and Team-BHP suggest that Hyundai is testing the waters for more performance EVs here. Given Hyundai’s strong presence in India and rising interest in electric vehicles among premium buyers, it’s not far-fetched to imagine a limited-run IONIQ 6 N launch in the future.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed is where many brands show off their most powerful and innovative cars — and Hyundai is bringing the IONIQ 6 N with full intent to impress. For Indian car lovers who crave more emotion and connection from their EVs, this car could be a preview of what the future holds.
Verdict: Whether or not the IONIQ 6 N makes it to Indian showrooms, it’s a reminder that electric doesn’t have to mean boring. It can be bold, loud (in its own way), and absolutely thrilling.
