Electric cars are excellent at accelerating, but they usually have a large bulk and lack feeling.
When we have a large group of them together for the tournament this year, EV boredom sets in.
The thrill that drew any of us into this industry wasn't satisfied by an additional 20 miles of range or the ability to recharge rapidly.
These features would make an EV stand out from the crowd, but the new Ioniq 5 N goes above and beyond that.
641 hp is available to the 5 N. Yes, that is a lot, but not nearly as much as it could be if the 4849 pounds weren't being moved.
Still, the Ioniq 5 N reaches 60 mph in 3.0 seconds & reaches 123 mph in 11.1 seconds while capturing the quarter-mile.
Those are sports-car results, maybe with the exception of the skidpad score. An excellent sports vehicle.
Four criteria are used to score EV of the Year. Value comes first. Completed. Proceeding forward.
To demonstrate that someone could use an EV in place of a gas-powered racing automobile, we even drove it to a racetrack.
Technology advancement makes up the fourth EV of the Year pillar.
That alone merits winning EV of the Year.
