Hyundai Ioniq 5N is Coming to Gran Turismo 7’s Next Update

"The majority regret getting EVs"
I'm loving my little Mii electric, for the record. (Caveat: As a second car. Another: Instead of getting cold on a motorbike.) Range issues are a real and present threat at all times if you actually want to get places, but I do 40 miles a day, so it's fine.

Yes, I agree for people who don't do a lot of mileage EVs could be a good choice. As you said, certainly better than getting cold on a bike.
They are smooth and quiet which is a plus.

For people who do a lot of mileage per year (like myself) they're just not the solution. Unless many years down the line, they can dramatically accelerate the charge times and make sure there are charging points at every petrol station.

Cool! Missed that part!

I think the best vehicle at the moment is a PHEV that has a range of about 40-50 miles electric but they are few and far between for a 3-row. We got a 3-row Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid and when it is purely on electric it is wonderful. The engine cutting in is very gentle but it is definitely nicer round town when purely in EV mode. Engine is okay though and there is no range anxiety.

From the people I have spoken to, the majority regret getting EVs. I don't think the whole going electric thing has fully taken off as many manufacturers thought it would. The vast majority of cars on the road are still petrol, diesel or hybrids.

I'm really after an EV right now but I agree with you it could not be my only vehicle. EVs are good as second cars or for those people who never go anywhere. My personal vehicle is a lifted 4x4 Sprinter adventure van. It's a fun vehicle and a perfectly acceptable back up vehicle to our family Santa Fe with one exception. Living in a city, the van will not fit in parking structures so that's a pain. Consequently, I'm actively looking for a smaller EV only vehicle for blasting around the city. The new Kia EV3 looks sweet but won't be in the US until 2026. Considering the 2025 Hyundai Kona as well as that is cheaper.

What I really want is the 2025 Ionic 5, but that won't be generally available until mid next year and they are also more car than I really need - but I do love the look.

EDIT grammer.

Yes!!! I knew it was coming, and I'm glad it's soon. The I5N is changing the game when it comes to the EV market.

Sadly its an ev so i am not intrested, hopefully there is some other cars in the same update

I don’t understand how they don’t have the data that players don’t give a damn about EVs. They know we don’t drive them.

Not interested. Another heavy car (over 2200 kilograms) that has a corner behaviour like a bunch of stones.

We still want new cars. But EVs aren't cars, they are appliances. An electric Hyundai is about as exciting as getting a new fridge.

EVs need to be banned from racing games. They all are so bland and boring to drive in a video game setting. I think the only series that could pull EVs off would be Ridge Racer.

I just thought it would be fun to quote all the responses from people who clearly have no idea what they're talking about. Nearly every professional car reviewer that has gotten their hands on the 5N loves it. It is well balanced, turns in like crazy, feels much lighter than it is, and the "gears" everyone thought was going to be a gimmick turned out to be so good that it has become a game changer in the EV world, with many cars set to follow suit. Gear selection allows for the same reference points as any ICE car, unique power bands, crazy accurate clutch modulation, and an all around fun time. The more conventional "gearless" mode is faster, but the gears are where it's at.

There is no doubt in my mind that the gear mode will be the primary way this thing is presented, and I even doubt it will have the normal "single gear" mode included. I also think that N-grin boost (dumb name, I know) will be toggled to the overtake button.


"EVs need to be banned from games", yet I have fun in the Model 3 and Taycan pretty often.

"Nobody likes their EVs", yet the Model Y is one of the best selling cars in the world.

"Behavior like a bunch of stones", yet the TG crew, Chris Harris, and a ton of other good-driving blokes say the opposite. I think I'll stick with their opinion over someone on a forum who doesn't know anything about the car except their own bias.

"As exciting as a new fridge"... you must have one HELL of a fridge.


C'mon guys, you can do better than proving how commonplace anti-intellectualism is these days.

...so, we are getting at least 3 tracks in this update, right?

Hybrids are definitely the sweet spot in terms of actually being green, too. At least if we're talking people who frequently buy new cars. The greenest option is usually to keep what you already have and run it into the ground. Probably depends a lot on your annual mileage.


I think, mechanically, the "facelift" Ioniq 5 just has the larger capacity battery from the 5N, now containing 8.5% more angry pixies. It's the same physical design, just better capacity per "pouch" - I think the real reason they developed it was for the higher power requirement in N spec (and it's newer chemistry that fabs are moving to anyway).

I would personally avoid the Kona / Niro myself if I were cross-shopping them.

Fun fact: Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is supposed to come in January with Assetto Corsa Evo as well.
I'm looking forward to compare it in both games

I’m still baffled why noone (except BMW) invest in and talk more about Prometheus Fuels. Much more promising than a future EV world.

The mid-refresh 4 benefits from improved interior along with the battery and Tesla charge plug for NA market models. Having real buttons for seat HVAC controls, rear wiper and black bezel/ICE equivalent to our Santa Fe would be enough reason to wait for the refreshed model.

Cost and scaleability come to mind.
