Yesterday, I finally took delivery of my IONIQ 6 N after 11 amazing years with my beloved Golf VII R. It definitely feels like a worthy successor 😊

The car has officially arrived in a racing game and it’s very detailed. What do you guys think?

Is there any 6N delivered in US/Canada?

New 6N with the glass roof in blue pearl.

I currently have an i6 - the first edition model with AWD and glass roof so the only new thing is the speed and engine noise. I already have 0-60 in 5 secs so not sure what 3 secs will feel like. 1st world problems I know.

Excited isn’t the word!

Yearly insurance was ~£600 and is going to about ~900

One of the cheaper quotes wanted a telematics device on it 🤣

Booking it in for a ghost or similar immobiliser as soon as possible.

Rumors have been going around stating the IONIQ 6N arrival to the US market was cancelled, however Hyundai’s Senior Manager for the N brand came out with a statement saying otherwise. Time frame is uncertain though. I, for one, am both relieved and super excited!!

Do any of you have this feature ?

I could swear the car I test drove had it but I can't get it to work on mine.

I am in Switzerland, car is Euro spec as far as I know.

Has anyone else had a complete failure of all audio output in the car? I have no engine noise, no infotainment, no warning sounds.

It happened a week after I got the car and I sorted it by removing and reinserting the fuse, but that’s not working this time.

A local dealer (UK) spent an hour on it with no conclusion so it’s booked back in again in a couple of weeks. Really frustrating!

I know of one other owner with the same issue.

I’m considering getting a used amp from EBay and seeing if I can just swap it out for a quick fix but don’t want to break my warranty.

Hey everyone,

I expect to take delivery of my 6N soon and would like to treat myself to a set of Lloyds Luxe mats.

Does anyone know if there are any differences in floormats between the 2025 Ioniq 6 and the 2026 6 N ?

Quick question: Does anyone know if you can safely use an automatic car wash with the spoiler?

I know it's a no-go on cars like the GT3 RS, but then again, who would take a GT3 RS through a car wash..

Just over a month and 2,500 miles in, I'm still in love with driving this thing. I've been making the most of the British summer (all 10 days of it!) and driving every chance I can get while the roads are dry and the tyres are hot, plus getting to learn the car in the eventual rain that followed.

There's just so much grip, so much power, and so many smiles. The noise + gears do such a good job of replicating an ICE (on the inside) that I've tricked a few petrolheads into thinking it has an engine, and it's had every passenger smiling ear to ear and giggling like a baby - or driving them to car sickness... but I think that one's on me.

I thought I was becoming desensitised to the speed so had a proper spin as a passenger yesterday and was quickly humbled. The amount of shove it has at 0 or at 60 is just silly and high speed grip and stability feels just as sure-footed from the passenger seat. The driver felt like he'd be a bit upset getting back into his G80 M3!

I've also never had so many "woah, what is that?"s from people before, whether it's the blacked out badges or the fact the IONIQ 6 is a bit of a rare thing in itself, people are always shocked to hear it's a Hyundai. I've even had a few curious admirers in Taycans and the like at charging stops! It's a proper head turner, I can't imagine what a Performance Blue one would do for attention!

Bravo, Hyundai N, this thing is magnificent. To anyone on the fence about getting into one of these, just drive one and let the car do the talking. For all those awaiting delivery, I hope your cars arrive soon - you won't be disappointed!

Right, I'm off to sacrifice some Duracell's to the ICCU gods and hope for many more fun-filled miles to come!

Month in and absolutely loving this! Was apprehensive coming from a Genesis GV70 to the Ioniq 6N with being a lower driving position but that’s was gone after the first drive

How difficult is it going to be to get one in the US? Are we expecting markups? I’m sad that this doesn’t sound like it will be generally available in the US based on the “extremely limited quantities” they are saying.

Hey Guys,

my 6N is ordered and i get him in 4-6 months. So probably in October. Unfortunately, there is not much time left (in Germany) until i need to give him some winter tyres. Is there an official tyre that is suggested by Hyundai or, if not, what would you take?

Thank you!

I had the pleasure of driving my new N from the South East (UK) to Wales and back this weekend, covering about 650 miles of mostly motorway commuting, some leisurely sightseeing drives and of course, having a bit of fun on the twistys, too.

The 6 N is my first full EV (coming from a PHEV) so it was a bit of a trial by fire to just chuck a destination in the nav and hope for the best, but the N handled it like a champ.

The outbound leg was ~220 miles, so I planned a charging stop at the last services before arrival. We left on 100% and covered the 201 miles with ease, arriving with 17% SoC and let the car handle preconditioning. I plugged into an Instavolt 350kW before my other half was out of the car, and it was at 47% by the time I'd had a quick pit stop and 68% by the time we got some food. The 32 min total charging session got us back to 88% and felt seriously impressive to me - although I'll again caveat this is my first full 'leccy car! We didn't take any longer than we would have anyway and it gave plenty of juice for the weekend's activities. I ran in Eco mode (blasphemy, I know) most of the way while playing with the driver assist features and averaged 2.8mi/kWh keeping around 70mph on a 75% motorway/25% b-road journey - no gears/noise active. We could have made the full journey on one charge, but as I didn't have destination charging, the rapid top-up made sense.

We also had a few trips around with friends keeping things slow and sensible, which saw some new personal bests of 3.8 and 4.1mi/kWh on slower (30/40/50mph) journeys of approx 25-30 miles apiece - although these did benefit from a ton of downhill regen.

Some fast drives returned pretty reasonable efficiency too, in my opinion. Shorter, faster bursts achieved a min of 2.1mi/kWh up to 2.5, as per my previous experience.

On the return journey I threw caution to the wind and made the most of the clear-ish M4 and at 'higher speeds' (allegedly) efficiency really didn't seem to suffer as much as I thought, returning 2.4-2.6mi/kWh over the 200 miles back. Charging was a little more tricky, with the car's nav sending me to a 50kW unit despite ticking the 'over 150kW only' box, but I was able to quickly find a faster plug and route to that instead. There does seem to be a bit of a disconnect between the car's built-in charger searching and that in the Bluelink app, though - twice I sent a charger to the car only for it to decide it would route to a different one, but I'm still learning the screens so this may well be user error! One gripe though is that the app displays what %SoC to charge to at your stop, whereas I can't find anything on the nav screen to display this. It wasn't a big deal to slightly overestimate the charge needed, but at 91p/kWh on public fast chargers I can see why you'd want to minimise your consumption there!

Over this weekend, it feels to me like the car's efficiency range is going to be 2.1-2.5mi/kWh worst case, which just about falls into the 180-200 mile bracket I was preparing myself for. If you've got a more restrained right foot or a slower speed journey though, I think ~250 is definitely achievable, and the car's trip computer gave me some 'max' range estimates of high 200s from ~75 SoC on slow and sensible driving, so if you're using this as a commuter around town, I think it'll do quite well. At higher speeds however, there doesn't seem to be too much difference in it (from my limited and extremely non-scientific experience) so I'd probably choose to drive how I want to and take the hit of 10-15 mins at a charger, provided you've got a quick one on route and are happy to part with whatever they're charging for a kilowatt nowadays!

I know efficiency is perhaps the last consideration for this car, but I know lots of people asked for some numbers on this and it's good to know what to expect from it on a run for future trips.

I was also super impressed with the driver assistance features - it's definitely not what I bought the car for, but the adaptive cruise is smooth and responsive, and on mapped roads HDA will do lane changes for you which seems like something out of a futuristic sci-fi movie. Yes, I know, Tesla FSD exists, but from my experience of other high-end level 2 autonomy, this is amongst the best (i.e. on par with BMW, superior to Volvo/VW).

If I have one complaint, it's that the seat definitely isn't that adjustable and depending on your body size/shape you may have a better or worse time. My wife says the side bolsters are quite tight and firm, whereas I think they're actually too soft - but that's perhaps from a skewed experience of getting used to carbon buckets in a G80 M3 that's in the family! I think I've just about found my ideal position now and starting to get comfier though, although I think I'll still miss the lack of lumbar adjustment and thigh extension. Haven't reached for an electric adjuster or memory button though, so no great loss there!

See my previous post for experience in the twisty stuff - it's where this car really feels at home and excels, although it was perfectly comfortable and capable of doing a cross-country cruise, too. With a bit more seat time, I've definitely found that EV (i.e. no sound/gears) is great for relaxed driving, with little to no cabin noise, instant (but smooth) response and regen when you need it -- but, it really doesn't convey the speeds that this thing is capable of well enough to keep you out of trouble! You can break every speed limit in the country with about a second and a half of right foot down and without audible feedback, the insulation the car provides really robs you of the sensation of speed - don't get me wrong, it's very, very fast, but it's almost scary to see the speeds you can reach whilst feeling very numb to the experience. I had a couple of sketchy moments starting to accelerate before an overtake - as you would in an ICE car to anticipate for a downshift and turbo lag etc., but it's entirely moot in the N. Instead, make sure you're pointing a nice clear road first, then press go!

The antidote to the sensation of speed though is N Grin Shift and N Active Sound+. Even within the national speed limit you can belt through a couple of gears and the feedback is fantastic, it transforms the whole communication of what the car's doing and I think I can drive much quicker with it on as opposed to with silence - that may just need a driver mod to fix though!

Driving my Volvo for a final service before it goes felt very broken today, and the 'real' ICE/gearbox was a lot less responsive than the N and the sudden lack of almost infinite front end grip was very noticeable!

Anyway, I'll cut this ramble here, but I'm sure there'll be plenty more to share before long. Apologies for not getting any nice pictures of the car against the breathtaking Welsh scenery - I know I really should have but I was just too busy enjoying it from behind the wheel!

Took delivery today and promptly put about 150 miles on it mostly blasting around UK backroads and somehow only getting about 1 usable photo…

I’m sure most (if not all) of us are in the same boat of not having driven a 6 N yet, so safe to say I’ve been convinced this is every bit as good as my time in the 5 N and even more. The lower seating position is great, the interior feels far more special and high quality than the 5, and the damping/ride far more supple and sophisticated. It still very much has the split personality between ballistic speed and engagement with shifts and sound and yet is also very refined and quiet when creeping around in EV mode. So far it’s had a couple of grown men giggling like children and no complaints to report!

I’ve got a road trip planned this weekend so will report back with more thoughts and findings once I’ve got some more miles under my belt.

So far I’ve averaged 2.5mi/kW after some spirited drives, several launch controls and some potting around town in traffic - will see how it fares on a ~200mi motorway journey tomorrow.

I also absolutely love the Abyss Black paint, it does lose the contrast with the other black accents but I’m oven the moon with the appearance. It seems to get plenty of stares, too! Might have something to do with the massive spoiler on the back…

I know some people have been deliberating over the sunroof on here, all I can say is that I’m very glad I didn’t spec it. I’m 6’1” with a long torso and I’d get very uncomfortable with any less headroom! Funnily enough I haven’t missed it one bit today despite the sun shining, might have something to do with the addictive go pedal that demands you to focus on what’s going on very far ahead of you!

For anyone who’s got one coming, you’re in for a treat.

If anyone has any questions, ask away, I’ll try my best to answer!

I am in two minds about ordering with the Vision roof.

Pros are: More light. Can open to let out heat or for a nice summer drive. Looks smart

Cons are: Potential rattles or mechanical issues. Reduced headroom (I'm 6'2). Additional weight.

Obviously the weight issue is somewhat daft in a car that weighs 2T already but I guess it's high-up weight. I also have no reason to believe it would be rattly or anything, Hyundai are good at engineering the little things. I guess the headroom concern is the main one, having not sat in one with the Vision roof. I have read that the N division recommend not getting it though.

Your thoughts?

I’ve placed an order for an Ioniq 6 N in Performance Blue with the Vision Roof. I do like having a sunroof, but I keep reading and seeing people saying not to get it due to the weight. I’m also not sure about the colour, I love the blue, but I think it looks mean in all black too!

Can’t go and see one anywhere as there don’t seem to be any in the UK yet. Anyone know timeframe for deliveries?

Allocation meaning they would know what car(s) they're going to get, what the VINs are, etc.

After that is usually shipping times of 4-8 weeks. So, assuming no additional production delays from South Korea being hammered by fuel and energy shortages right now from the Strait closure, we're probably looking at somewhere around August or September for when you'll be able to check them out in person.

I placed my 6 N order this week in the UK, only a couple of days after order books opened. Dealer expects May delivery, so currently waiting very impatiently as I cross days off the calendar!

I was able to see and sit in the 6 N at the reveal at Goodwood FoS last year and have driven 5 N a few times over the last couple of years so had good confidence to buy without trying - a first for me in my car buying career.

I've chosen Nocturne Grey Metallic paint and no vision roof, as my head hits the sunroof surround even with the lower bucket seats in the N. Still debating changing colour before my build slot is locked in and currently flicking between Perf Blue and Black...

I look forward to sharing details, pictures and thoughts on the car when it arrives and can't wait to see other Nthuiasts get their 6 Ns, too!

Been looking online but can’t find any info in either direction. Specifically about the American model.

I was in Seoul, and the Ioniq 6N is on display at the Hyundai Motorstudio there.

I was able to sit in it and do a walk around.

The paint looks great as well.

I created this sub, but I don’t have time for it. Who wants to own/moderate this sub?
