The new model, launched in South Korea, now includes configurable N Drift Optimizer settings, allowing drivers to choose from 10 levels of assistance. The adjustment gives more control over how much drift assistance is provided, with the highest level minimizing stability control, allowing for a freer drifting experience. Hyundai specifies that these updates are primarily for track use, as the system has improved at detecting conditions suitable for drifting.

Other updates for 2025 include Downshift Memory, which stores downshift commands and executes them when the engine reaches the proper rpm. This helps improve track performance by making gear changes smoother. The system is developed to make the IONIQ 5 N's driving experience even more engaging. Additionally, N Active Sound+ now triggers artificial engine sounds automatically when using launch control, simulating the noise of a turbocharged engine.
