Fastbacks with 300hp used to be worth writing home about - is that still the case?
are the most thrilling cars PH will encounter in 2024. Not even the most exciting EVs, come to think of it. But as well as being reassured by both that the family fastback has a battery-powered future - and that an SUV isn’t the only way forward - there’s the future fast ones to think about as well. Already Hyundai has an N version out of.
The Hyundai’s is most certainly the smaller interior, with foot room for rear passengers really tight, and the driving position feels much more perched, though it’s probably a nicer place to spend time. Some of it is gimmicky, sure, like steering wheel lights that change colour with the drive modes, but they raise a smile. And from a usability perspective, it’s the one to feel at home in quicker.
The Ioniq 6 is immediately a tauter and more immediate prospect. Very little wouldn’t be. It ties down body movements with more conviction and frisks through bends with greater willingness, albeit perhaps not so much more eagerly than might be expected looking at them. There’s 150kg between the pair, which is a bag of sugar in current EV terms, and the Hyundai is keen to push its efficiency credentials also, so it isn’t an imperious corner carver by comparison.
Or maybe they will. That’s part of the intrigue with the world of EVs - you really don’t know what’s going to come next. History, preconceptions and prejudices are out the window as it’s all about the next thing. The Ioniq 5 N is already shaping up to be one of the most exciting performance cars of 2024 of any stripe , and so the thought of a super saloon made from it is encouraging.
