HYUNDAI once again claimed Car and Driver's prestigious EV of the Year title, marking its third consecutive win. This year, the spotlight was on the 2024 IONIQ 5 N, following in the footsteps of the IONIQ 6 in 2023 and the original IONIQ 5 in 2022. The repeated wins solidify Hyundai's position as a frontrunner in the EV market, proving it's not just keeping up but setting the pace for the EV industry.
The 2024 IONIQ 5 N isn't just another electric vehicle; it's Hyundai's first EV to bear the N badge, signaling a commitment to high-performance electric driving. Hyundai has pushed the boundaries, creating a vehicle that doesn't just focus on range or efficiency but also on the pure thrill of driving. Car and Driver praised it as 'the cure for electric-car boredom,' a strong endorsement in a market where EVs are often considered practical but lacking excitement.
