Recently purchased a 5N and absolutely love it! Looking forward to seeing what N Performance parts that become available. Currently my dealer can’t even get me floor mats, lol!
 
Hopefully it will be done today!Resized_20240524_172444_1716613462728.jpeg

Congrats, Triumvph, the N5 looks stunning in white also (mine is Ecotronic Grey). Managed to get the N floor mats in no time via my dealer (Switzerland-based). Depending on where you are, you might get them on the popular auction site. BTW, the colour mods look great for a more understated look.V

Looks great! Now, that you have been driving the car for a while: do you use the engine sound and shifting feature or does it become obsolete?

I use mine all the time! Just adds to the driving experience. But also nice that I can turn it all off and just enjoy a drive with music or audio book without the noise of an engine. I come from having E36 M3’s that I had to make loud enough to hear on the track with a helmet on, but of course couldn’t turn off the noise when driving on the street. This is the best of both worlds.

I sat in one last weekend and found the fake engine sound a bit weird in that it very much sounds like it’s coming out of speakers and there is no vibration to go with it - but I guess you disagree? Perhaps the effect is different when you are actually moving?

I heard, that some Ioniq-N owners reported, that the sense of speed is much better, when hearing the revs, though it's fake and unnecessary.
I think that's a good point, but I wonder, if you just need that, because you're still used to petrol engines and if the speed sense gets used to not having gears and revs after a while...

For me, the real issue with the fake rev sound was how fake it sounded. I’m not against it in principal, it’s just that the reality didn’t strike me as very rewarding.
 
Yeah I wonder, too, why they didn't use more realistic sounds. Shouldn't be a big issue. At least as one of the available sound options.

yeah, but if you’ve only heard it in park, you haven’t really heard it. I’m guessing the car you sat in had the volume pegged to 20 too. With the volume around 4-7 and cruising, it’s really well done. Still not “real” per se, but much more believable and the right feedback that EV’s have been missing. Also let’s not forget, this is an N car, it was built with the idea that it could be a weekend track car. If you don’t have sound in a car while driving on a track, it’s really hard to drive. That’s where volume 20 comes in to play with a helmet on.

But yeah, revving in park is completely unnecessary and fake.

Yes, when sitting still the sounds dont really work. But when combined with the physical movement, they are amazing.

Which of the three sound maps do you prefer? The first is maybe V8, the second more F1 and the third is sort of spacy?
 
Can I ask where you got the key fob cover from. Been looking for something for a while.
 
Other sounds besides ignition are best when doing triple digits speeds or driving on Autobahn and manipulating accelerator pedal.
I like them all.
 
During my recent business trip to the European Union, I had the opportunity to test drive the Ioniq 5 N on the Autobahn.
The jet noise is ideally suited for high-speed travel.
The execution and seamless integration of the propulsion units, particularly during load changes, is truly remarkable and continues to impress me.
EV that finally got soul and it is engaging to drive.
I love the jet noise. :p and the fake engine noise is really well done when on the move, sounds decent.
