Car Deal of the Day: The almighty Hyundai Ioniq 5 N for under £500 per month
Our Deal of the Day for 4 May is the reigning Auto Express Performance Car of the Year
- 641bhp electric powerhouse
- Engaging to drive, yet practical
- Only £498 per month
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is one of the most thrilling cars money can buy, but more than that, it’s among the few electric cars that we think can be considered a true driver’s car. That’s exactly why we named it our Performance Car of the Year in 2024 and why, for less than £500 per month, it’s a truly sensational deal.
That price is for a two-year lease and is being offered by Lease4Less via the Auto Express Find A Car service. It requires an initial payment of £6,276, followed by £498 per month.
This deal comes with an allowance of 5,000 miles per year, although we expect most people will want to enjoy the Ioniq 5 N as much as possible. Thankfully, raising the annual mileage limit to 8,000 only brings the price up to £530 per month, or £550 with a 10,000-mile cap.
Similarly, if you want to make the most of that hefty down payment, you can upgrade to a three-year lease plan which is available from £536 per month, also from Lease4Less.
The Ioniq 5 N delivers organ-rearranging acceleration, hitting 62mph in just 3.4 seconds, thanks to dual electric motors that deliver 641bhp and 740Nm of torque, plus all-wheel drive. But Hyundai’s N division boffins didn’t focus all their time on winning drag-strip bragging rights.
During our testing, we found that the Ioniq 5 N does a stunning job of disguising its heft, with its arsenal of electronic wizardry including an N Torque Distribution system with 11 settings that allow drivers to adjust the power balance between the axles. There’s also an N Pedal set-up that offers very aggressive brake regeneration before corners for incredibly sharp turn-in.
One of the Ioniq 5 N’s more novel features is its selection of synthesised soundtracks, including those that can replicate the exhaust note of a petrol hot hatch. Another is called N e-shift, with the system adjusting the car’s torque output to deliver a small jolt and give the impression of gearchanges in an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. All of this comes together to give this car a real personality, and make you forget you’re driving an EV.
The styling is menacing and the interior features excellent sports seats, plus great tech including dual 12.3-inch displays with bespoke N graphics and performance data. But the Ioniq 5 N is still a practical family car, with a 480-litre boot and a 278-mile range, plus the ability to recharge from 10 to 80 per cent in as little as 18 minutes.
