Podcast: 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N Test Drive - Gabriel's Best On-Track EV Experience Yet?
On the latest episode of The Car Guide Podcast, Gab provides his driving impressions of the new 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. As you may know, N is the performance division at Hyundai and the automaker and the Ioniq 5 N is the first fully electric vehicle to get the treatment. And as you will soon find out, it came out of the factory storming.
According to him, this unbridled variant of Hyundai's funky electric hatchback can emulate the driving dynamics and feedback of an internal combustion engine track car. That's all thanks to electronics and software, of course. But with 641 horsepower packed under the hood, the Ioniq 5 N sure has the guts to deliver such an experience.

LP also tells us about his drive of the week: the 2024 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid and Turbo E-Hybrid. These two plug-in hybrid SUVs were tested by our journalist on the Parcmotor Castelloli circuit near Barcelona, Spain. Both of them have received several innovations from the Porsche hybrid arsenal, including more powerful electric motors and batteries that deliver more performance and extended all-electric range.
