Drag race video shows Ioniq 5 N outpacing a Tesla Model 3 Performance when using its two motors normally, but losing when the simulated manual shift feature is engaged
Latest Carwow drag race video pits the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N against the Tesla Model 3 Performance. The Tesla gets off the line faster but is soon reeled in by the Hyundai when the bi-motor N is used like a conventional quick EV. What’s really interesting is how much slower the the Ioniq 5 N is when its simulated manual shift feature is selected. Hyundai ’s Ioniq 5 N is a near-perfect response to accusations that EVs are one-trick ponies that can never be as fun as a conventional ICE-powered vehicle.
But then it reels the Tesla in, nosing ahead before the quarter mile marker in two out of three races, and storming ahead when the pair race on to complete a half mile. In one race it gives the Telsa too long a leash over the first few yards, but overall the Hyundai is the drag race winner, and a roll-on shootout also results in the 5 N pushing the Model 3 into second place. For the record, Tesla quotes zero to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds for the Performance and Hyundai says 3.
