High-powered, tuned SUVs are the perfect vehicles for the occasional traffic light race (they’re also pretty good at flexing their muscles in mall parking lots.) But it might not make much sense to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on shiny, burbling boxes on wheels when there are cars like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N on the market.
It’s admittedly a crossover and not a full-fledged SUV, but the Korean EV seems to have all it takes to trump cars that cost three times as much–both in a straight line and in the corners.
