In April, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 won three major accolades. They were World Car of the Year, World Electric Vehicle of the Year, and World Car Design of the Year. Since its 2021 launch, it has also won German Car of the Year, UK Car of the Year, Auto Express’ Car of the Year, and Auto Bild’s Electric Car of the Year. With the brand planning 17 new BEV models by 2030, aiming for 1.97 million units in annual sales by 2030, does the Ioniq 5 live up to the hype?
Exterior
Clean lines and a minimalistic structure provide a different look for an electric vehicle (EV). The unique clamshell hood spans the width of the car, with 256 pixels providing distinctive LED headlights. Aero-optimised wheels echo the design theme, balancing beautifully with the sleek profile.
Interior
Hyundai have used the Ioniq 5 to blur ‘the lines between living space and moving space.’ The front seats in the Hyundai Ioniq 5 can be fully reclined, providing a total sense of relaxation during charging. The car’s central console can also be moved throughout the cabin for added comfort. Additionally, a standard 12.3” infotainment system offers easy access to all safety, entertainment, and driving functions, giving a high-tech look.
When stationery, the Ioniq 5 will even allow you to charge your laptop! It’s Vehicle-To-Lead technology allows you to charge any device, or charge electrical equipment up to 3.6 kW, with the onboard 220V plug – ideal for those with a tech-reliant family!
New technology
One of the key things Hyundai promotes with the Ioniq 5 is this model is the first vehicle built on their new Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP). It essentially offers faster charging, an increased driving range, better handling and more interior space.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is the first model in the dedicated BEV lineup. Its ultra-fast charging performance enables it to go from 10 to 80% in just 18 minutes.
