Press material

Hyundai Motor will reveal how driving the all-new IONIQ 5 N can ignite excitement among drivers. Through a groundbreaking experiment, the company's inaugural high-performance electric car will demonstrate its capability to elevate drivers' moods, showcasing that it's more than just a regular sports car.

IONIQ 5 N | The Depth of Joy

Filling drivers with excitement

For five days during the peak of winter, the all-new IONIQ 5 N will be showcased in Rjukan, Norway, and surrounding regions around – renowned amongst the darkest places in Europe. During this time, a selected group of participants will have the exclusive opportunity to embark on exhilarating test drives with the new model.

The company is exploring the field of neuroscience by observing how driving the all-electric sportscar positively affects the mind and body. Before and after each test drive, a neuroscientist will measure the biological and neurological changes of the drivers. For the first time, scientific data will record and back up the claim that, with IONIQ 5 N, customers ‘never just drive’.

This experiment is a unique opportunity. Working with a neuroscientist, Hyundai will prove how the all-electric and high-performance driving experience of the all-new IONIQ 5 N can boost excitement in drivers – even during the darkest of winters. This experiment underscores Hyundai’s commitment to not only meeting the pragmatic mobility needs of our customers but also addressing their emotional aspirations with innovation.
