Hyundai Ioniq 5 N NPX1 concept powers into Tokyo Auto Salon

Korean powerhouse Hyundai has used Japan's premiere tuning and style show, Tokyo Auto Salon, to showcase new N Performance Parts destined for the options list of the Ioniq 5 N in the near future.

Decked out on an existing Ioniq 5 N to create what it calls the 'IONIQ 5 N NPX1 concept', the new N Performance Parts include – at a glance – new wheels and a new body kit to set the flagship EV apart from its regular form.

Among them are a carbon-fibre front splitter, skirts, rear diffuser and rear wing, while new hybrid carbon wheels are tucked at each corner in front of new "high-performance" brake pads and lowered springs. Specific details on those features, however, have not been offered.

These parts will all be made available later in 2024, followed by a similar range of N Performance Parts upgrades "for all N models".

Sound off!

Back to the Ioniq 5 N, N brand vice president Joon Park said buyers can also look forward to the availability of over-the-air updates including sound packs (the current Ioniq 5 N's surprisingly rorty note is based on the i30 N) and new configurations for the vehicle's power and ride calibration.

Park says these options "will open a completely new category of EV customisation for an exciting future ahead for the tuning community".
