Hyundai’s first electric N model has already started something of a trend, with a few brands, including Porsche and BMW, now borrowing some of its signature features.

For the 2026 model year, Hyundai is upping the ante. Hyundai announced on Wednesday that the 2026 IONIQ 5 N has a “substantially lower starting price” at just $59,900, or $6,300 less than last year’s model.

“Our 2026 IONIQ 5 N is one of the most critically acclaimed models we’ve ever offered,” according to Ricky Lao, director of product planning at Hyundai Motor North America.

Despite the lower price, the new 2026 model brings a few updates. For one, the 2026 IONIQ 5 N now has a native NACS port, following the standard IONIQ 5, enabling access to Tesla Superchargers without an adapter.

I see your faulty Hyundai engines and raise you a faulty Hyundai ICCU.

They got a culture problem.

At least they recall and fix, or extend warranty.

Detroit ownership just means being a plaintiff on a class action sooner or later.

Hyundai fought the recall for the Theta engines as long as possible. It took an NHTSA investigation and a class action lawsuit to get them to admit anything.

And they still haven’t addressed the oil consumption on their newer engines.

And the ICCU failures are the next example of this pattern.

Hyundai has a culture problem.
