Experiment N
Car launches are all the same. Flashy films with flashy cars. But Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 N wasn’t just another car; it’s a performance machine designed to literally boost happiness. So instead of a traditional launch campaign, Hyundai opted for an experiment: to beat the winter blues in one of the world’s darkest cities with a drive.
"Hyundai's commitment to progress reaches new frontiers: the human mind"
"It's more than a hot hatch,
it's a happiness machine"
"IONIQ 5 N becomes the first car to beat the winter blues, even in one of Europe's darkest cities"
"The experiment's unique focus on winter is groundbreaking"
