Off the line, the IONIQ 5 N hits 100 km/h in 3.46 s versus 7.76 s for the e:Ny1. At this point, the IONIQ 5 N leads by 4.30 s and sits roughly 26 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the IONIQ 5 N is doing 164 km/h against 122 km/h for the e:Ny1. The gap is 3.09 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the IONIQ 5 N crosses the line in 11.38 s versus 15.82 s. The 4.43 s gap represents roughly 171 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the IONIQ 5 N continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 226 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the IONIQ 5 N finishes in 20.67 s versus 29.40 s, with a 8.74 s lead.
The IONIQ 5 N features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the e:Ny1’s FWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the IONIQ 5 N is capped at 260 km/h, the e:Ny1 at 160 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.60 kg/hp vs 8.34 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.83 seconds. The 4.30 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, IONIQ 5 N wins (3,46 s vs 7,76 s).
IONIQ 5 N goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,46 seconds (calibrated simulation).
