- It includes the traditional eco, normal, and sport drive modes, and adds an N Grin Boost mode that bumps up the power for 10 seconds, and custom N settings with drive modes.
- While the reviewers can feel the car’s 5,000-pound weight, it is surprisingly agile.
- The steering rack is quick, with a good weight, and there is great grip.
- The braking system is tested and proven, but the regeneration feeling may vary.
- It's surprisingly agile for such a heavy car.
- Overall, the IONIQ 5 N lives up to its hype and is a fun, trackable car.
