Hyundai Updates Its 2027 Electric Vehicle Lineup: Here’s What’s Changing
Hyundai has announced changes to its 2027 electric vehicle lineup for the U.S. market: the IONIQ 6 N and a new top-tier version of the IONIQ 9 will debut, while the IONIQ 5 receives minor updates.
The most significant change will be the introduction of the IONIQ 6 N—the second high-performance electric model from Hyundai after the IONIQ 5 N. The standard IONIQ 6 will not be included in the 2027 lineup. The new model will feature all-wheel drive with dual electric motors, a combined output of 641 hp, and acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds.
The IONIQ 6 N will be equipped with an 84 kWh battery, offering a range of up to 245 miles. The model utilizes an 800-volt fast-charging architecture, allowing the battery to recharge from 10% to 80% in approximately 18 minutes using a 350 kW DC fast-charging station. It will also include the N e-Shift and N Active Sound+ systems, which simulate the operation and sound of a gasoline-powered sports car with an automatic transmission. Standard equipment includes an NACS port and a CCS adapter.
Updates to the IONIQ 5 will be less extensive. Roof rails will now be available starting with the SEL trim, whereas previously they were offered only for the XRT and Limited trims. The Hyundai HomeLink feature will become exclusive to the Limited trim, while the Cargo Cover will be moved to the accessories list. The Gravity Gold Matte and Sage Silver Matte colors will be discontinued. The IONIQ 5 N version will remain unchanged from the 2026 model year.
The starting price for the 2027 IONIQ 5 in the U.S. is $35,250 for the standard IONIQ 5 SE, which offers an EPA-estimated range of up to 245 miles. The extended-range SE RWD version costs $2,500 more—starting at $37,750—and delivers up to 318 miles of range.
For the three-row IONIQ 9, a new Calligraphy Black Ink trim will be introduced, while the Calligraphy Design trim will no longer be available. The Calligraphy and Calligraphy Black Ink trims will include Virtual Gear Shift and third-row seat heating. All variants will feature an emergency door light for the trunk. Hyundai has not yet announced pricing for the 2027 IONIQ 9.
