For the 2026 model year, Hyundai’s performance electric SUV, the Ioniq 5 N, becomes less expensive and adds updated charging hardware. Both outlets report that Hyundai cuts the Ioniq 5 N’s price by $6,300, lowering the reported MSRP to $59,900. In addition, the 2026 Ioniq 5 N now includes an NACS port, improving compatibility with Tesla’s charging network. Car and Driver frames the update as making Hyundai’s current “OG” performance EV more attractive, especially amid uncertainty around the timing of a planned Ioniq 6 N sedan. Jalopnik likewise focuses on the cost reduction and the ease of ownership afforded by the added NACS charging option, while noting questions about when the Ioniq 6 N will arrive. Taken together, the coverage indicates Hyundai is prioritizing broader affordability and charging practicality for the Ioniq 5 N in 2026, while other performance model plans remain pending or unconfirmed in these reports.
