The IONIQ 5 N stands out with its impressive power, delivering up to 641 horsepower when the N Grin Boost mode is activated.

Ricky Lao, director of product planning at Hyundai Motor North America, expressed gratitude for receiving this award from MAMA.
Robert Duffer, MAMA President, praised the IONIQ 5 N for proving that electric sports cars can be as exciting and affordable as traditional gas-powered vehicles. He noted that the car's unique blend of excitement and accessibility captivated their members both on and off the track at Road America.
Founded in 1991, MAMA consists of approximately 240 automotive journalists and industry professionals from about 25 states and Washington D.C.

Economic Impact
Hyundai's operations in the U.S., along with its network of 835 independent dealers, contribute significantly to the economy. According to a recent report, these activities generate $20.1 billion annually and support 190,000 jobs across the country.
