And now for something completely bonkers: How about an Ioniq 5 EV that does 0-60 in three seconds flat? Most people will be sufficiently wowed by the Ioniq 5 Long Range Dual Motor, which starts at about $16k less and gets you to 60 in 4.5 seconds while providing nearly 70 more miles of range. But 3.0 is far quicker than 4.5, and 123 mph at the quarter-mile mark is a whole lot faster than 102. The Ioniq 5 N would make no sense if not for the fact that it gives a world full of EV skeptics a glimpse of a potentially exciting future, which strikes us as highly sensible.
