Inside, the cabin gains a performance-focused layout with a signature N-specific steering wheel, sport seats, and specialized digital displays that show critical driver-centric information. While it shares the E-GMP platform with other Hyundai N models, the IONIQ 6 N has been modified extensively to go fast, featuring additional structural adhesive and bracing struts between the trunk and back seats to increase torsional rigidity.
