,
, “The IONIQ 5 N DK Edition is equipped with ‘N Performance’ tuning parts that further enhance the driving performance of Hyundai’s high-performance electric vehicle ‘IONIQ 5 N’. This edition reveals Hyundai’s development direction for high-performance electric vehicle tuning parts.”,
,
, “The edition name ‘DK’ is derived from the nickname ‘Drift King’ of Japan’s famous racer Keiichi Tsuchiya. Hyundai collaborated with Tsuchiya from the early development stages of the edition to convey the passion and expertise of motorsport drivers to customers.”,
,
, “It features exclusive components such as △ a ‘6P monoblock brake caliper’ made by precision processing of Duralumin, an alloy used in aircraft and racing vehicles △ an ‘exclusive brake pad’ with a 54% larger area and enhanced friction coefficient compared to the existing IONIQ 5 N model △ a ’21-inch lightweight forged wheel’ with a special toothed machining structure applied to the wheel and tire contact surface to increase friction during high-speed driving △ ‘lowering springs’ that lower the car’s center of gravity. These enhancements improve vehicle driving safety, braking, and cornering capabilities.”,

, “Additionally, the use of carbon fiber components such as the ‘front splitter’, ‘side skirt’, and ‘rear wing spoiler’ increases downforce, the force pressing the body to the road surface, thereby enhancing grip and high-speed driving stability.\n”]
