People like to complain about electric cars. They argue that , say they and claim that they aren’t fun to drive. But that’s not all true, and now Hyundai is here to really silence the haters with its new Ioniq 5 N electric SUV.

Unveiled earlier today at , the new car is Hyundai’s reimagining of the hot hatch for the electric age. As such, it comes with a dual motor powertrain that kicks out more than 600 hp, stiffened steering and a raft of aerodynamic tweaks to aid performance on the track.

After all these modifications, the new Ioniq 5 N will get from zero to 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds and will hit a top speed of 161 mph. But EVs have always managed rapid acceleration and a decent top speed. So Hyundai has taken a few extra steps with the 5 N to ensure that it appeals to car enthusiasts around the world.

The , which the Korean automaker knows is a touchy subject among enthusiasts watching the world pivot to electric power.

In most EVs, the driver makes do with a single-speed transmission and there’s no need for complicated . But Hyundai knows that being able to manually shift through the gears helps you feel more connected to the car. As such, it’s come up with a simulated gearbox that will ship with the Ioniq 5N.

Called N E-Shift, the new tech is said to “ transmission of internal combustion engine N cars.” To do this, Hyundai has figured out a way to simulate gearshifts by controlling the torque of the Ioniq 5 N’s motors.

The you feel between shifts by “momentarily disengaging the motors,” and Hyindai says you can even miss shifts with the new tech. All this is to help the Ioniq 5 N “provide a more precise, interactive driving experience,” according to the automaker.

The simulated gearbox is paired with a whole suite of simulated engine sounds that drivers can enjoy. Called N Active Sound+, the system works to deliver “futuristic EV sounds” as well as “ICE-like engine and exhaust sounds.” As such, the system pairs with N E-Shift when it cycles through those synthesized gears, emitting all kinds of “pop and bang” sounds when shifting.

To do this, the N Active Sound+ system incorporates 10 speakers, eight inside the car and two on the outside. Each of these can , including one to recreate the sound of N’s 2.0T engines, one inspired by Hyundai’s RN22e concept and a final “concept” sound influenced by fighter jets.

What do you think, will systems like this keep you engaged behind the wheel of an EV, or is it a gimmick that electric cars need to try and draw car fans in? Let us know in the comments section below.
