Hyundai’s latest N e-shift transmission addresses “the lack of driver feedback behind the wheel of many EVs,” said the automaker in a press release. N e-shift simulates the gear shifts of an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission in a gas-powered car akin to Hyundai’s Veloster N. It controls the power and torque using advanced software to simulate the jolting feeling of rowing through the gears.
The system could jolt while upshifting and provide rev-matching capabilities when downshifting, the same feeling you get when driving a manual-equipped sports car. Accompanying the N e-shift feature is N Active Sound + to complete the virtual manual-car experience.
The system utilizes three user-selectable sound profiles and 10 speakers to play virtual driving sounds, an excellent complement to the manual-like behavior of the N e-shift. The most aggressive is “Ignition” mode, which plays the sound of a turbocharged Hyundai N gasoline engine when pressing the go pedal.
With the Ioniq 5 N and its excellent N e-shift transmission programming, Hyundai is knocking on the hearts and minds of EV naysayers like a love letter begging you to give it a second chance. With the Ioniq 5 N’s 601 horsepower, 545 pound-feet of torque, a claimed 0-60 mph sprint in 3.4 seconds — alongside the addition of N e-shift, N Active Sound +, and the N Grin Boost feature that temporarily raises power output to 640 horses — Hyundai might have created the cupid of electric cars.
