Hyundai Ioniq 5 N Release Date: When Is It Launching?
At its 'N Day' event in Busan, South Korea, Hyundai confirmed a high-performance 'N' version of its popular Ioniq 5 crossover EV, but when will it launch? Alongside the Ioniq 5 N, Hyundai also announced two other concept cars, including the RN22e that's based on the newly-launched Ioniq 6 streamliner, and a hydrogen-powered retro sports coupe called the N Vision 74. While Hyundai announced a tentative launch date for the Ioniq 5 N, there's no word yet on when (or if) either of the two concepts will ever see the light of day.
Hyundai has been late to the EV party but has been making up for lost time with the launch of multiple new models in recent months. The company launched the Ioniq 5 late last year and announced the Ioniq 6 earlier this year. While the former is a compact crossover SUV that competes with the likes of the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Volkswagen ID.4, and Tesla Model Y, the latter is Hyundai's first electric sedan and is expected to go head-to-head with the Tesla Model 3.

While there's very little information about the actual production car that's set to be launched next year, Hyundai has revealed some details about the two concept vehicles that have no official production date
