The 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 6 N has touched down in Australia priced from $115,000 before on-road costs and claiming the title of Hyundai's quickest production car ever.

2026 Hyundai Ioniq 6 N pricing
| Model | Price before on-road costs |
| 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 6 N | $115,000 |
That figure puts the Ioniq 6 N $28,500 above the previous top-spec Ioniq 6 Epiq AWD and $34,100 above the Tesla Model 3 Performance. Hyundai Australia has flagged it as a "niche within a niche" and after the initial allocation it will be available by custom order only with a three-month turnaround.
Performance and powertrain
A 166kW front motor pairs with a 282kW rear motor for combined outputs of 448kW and 740Nm in normal driving. Hit the N Grin Boost button and those numbers jump to 478kW and 770Nm for 10-second bursts, dropping the claimed 0-100km/h time to 3.2 seconds and pushing top speed to 257km/h.
Despite identical outputs to the Ioniq 5 N, the 6 N is 0.2 seconds quicker thanks to a 0.274 drag coefficient, a swan-neck rear wing generating up to 100kg of downforce and active grille shutters.
Chassis hardware includes 19.8 per cent more torsional rigidity, stroke-sensing adaptive dampers, an electronic limited-slip rear differential, and 400mm front brake discs gripped by four-piston calipers. The 20-inch forged alloys are wrapped in N-specific Pirelli P Zero 5 tyres.
Range and charging
The 84kWh battery delivers a claimed WLTP range of 487km, 39km more than the Ioniq 5 N. Energy consumption sits at 18.7kWh/100km, and a 350kW DC fast charger can take the battery from 10 to 80 per cent in just 18 minutes.
