Hyundai Ioniq 5 N outperforms ICE SUVs and even a Lamborghini Urus in speed.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 N Is Quicker Than ICE SUVs, Even A Lamborghini Urus

The Lamborghini Urus is renowned for its exceptional speed as an SUV, boasting a twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces 640 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. With an acceleration time of just over 3 seconds from 0 to 60 mph, it’s no slouch. However, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N takes the crown for speed, matching the Urus in power and weight.

The Ioniq 5 N outshines the Urus in a quarter-mile drag race, despite having identical power-to-weight ratios. Hagerty initially pitted the Ioniq against other high-performance SUVs like the Porsche Macan GTS, Maserati Grecale Trofeo, and Jaguar F-Pace SVR, demonstrating its superior acceleration.

In a head-to-head race against the Urus, the Ioniq 5 N initially falls behind but quickly catches up and surpasses the Italian SUV by the end of the quarter-mile. Interestingly, when configured to simulate a two-liter engine with a dual-clutch transmission, the Ioniq loses to the Urus. Hyundai’s attention to detail in simulating engine performance and gear shifting adds to the driving experience, making the Ioniq 5 N one of the most enjoyable EVs on the market.

Overall, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N proves itself as a formidable contender in the world of high-performance EVs, offering not only impressive speed but also an engaging driving experience that sets it apart from the competition.
