Hyundai announced on September 22, 2026 that the IONIQ 6 N won the performance category at the German Car of the Year 2027 awards. Category selection is based on the evaluation of a jury of automotive journalists.
The electric model's approach combining road and track use is highlighted in the statement. N e-Shift and N Active Sound+ are among the virtual gear and sound features that aim to increase the interaction between the driver and the vehicle.
Category winners at GCOTY are then considered for the overall title. Therefore, the record only reports performance category achievement; does not present the car as the overall winner of the awards. The name 2027 belongs to the award period, while the actual publication date of the news is 2026 and is preserved in the record.
