He continued, "Introducing high-performance electric vehicles after showcasing high-performance internal combustion engine cars means that we will leap forward with our own advantages and differentiated aspects in the upcoming electric vehicle era."

Executive Director Park explained the value of the Ioniq 5 N within the N brand. He said, "Of course, the profitability of the Ioniq 5 N is important, but the first goal is really to let car enthusiasts enjoy it," adding, "We will prepare an opportunity in September for people to see what capabilities the Ioniq 5 N has."
