Hyundai cuts IONIQ 5 N EV prices by $6,300 (electrek.co)

Hyundai’s first electric N model has already started something of a trend, with a few brands, including Porsche and BMW, now borrowing some of its signature features.

For the 2026 model year, Hyundai is upping the ante. Hyundai announced on Wednesday that the 2026 IONIQ 5 N has a “substantially lower starting price” at just $59,900, or $6,300 less than last year’s model.

“Our 2026 IONIQ 5 N is one of the most critically acclaimed models we’ve ever offered,” according to Ricky Lao, director of product planning at Hyundai Motor North America.

Despite the lower price, the new 2026 model brings a few updates. For one, the 2026 IONIQ 5 N now has a native NACS port, following the standard IONIQ 5, enabling access to Tesla Superchargers without an adapter.

It sounds appealing to me.

Cool!

the near-linear acceleration for electric cars contributes to nausea and a numbed driving experience.

This is the first I'm hearing of this. I can tell you it's not something I've ever experienced.

File that with "windmills give us headaches".

EVs sold in the US are massively overweight, which means the suspension damping can't remove the wallowing over bumps, causing sea sickness. I used to get this as a kid in those 80s ICE land yachts.
