In this episode, Jason and Vin take the wheel of the brand-new 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, the world's first electric hot-hatch. With its Giugiaro-inspired retro looks and 641-hp dual-motor powertrain, the first electric N product is fast and beautiful.
But is it something that true automotive enthusiasts could live with? Is it time for an electric hot-hatch? And more important, do Hyundais' gimmicky modes detract from the car's overall appeal?
What's perhaps most surprising is how the guys feel about N e-Shift, a sound- and g-force simulation of a traditional ICE powertrain. You'll have to watch to understand.
Make sure to stay tuned for Jason's trademark drifting and sliding around the famed Laguna Seca racetrack — with unfiltered observations and a couple laughs.
