The innovative crossover is the first of a new era of Hyundai EVs, based on a dedicated and advanced E-GMP all-electric platform to offer 800-V, ultra-fast charging capabilities for a 10 to 80 percent charge in just 18 minutes. When equipped with two-wheel drive and up to 77.4-kWh battery, its maximum driving range on a single charge will be around 290-298 miles.
Ioniq 5 also heralds a new era in Hyundai design. The crossover’s unique exterior styling is characterized by clean, sharp lines that convey its dynamic presence on the road and distinctive LED headlamps and rear lamps that leave a lasting impression.
Inside, the Ioniq 5’s interior takes full advantage of its 3,000-mm wheelbase to offer a never-before-seen moveable centre console that allows passengers more freedom of movement. Many interior touchpoints use eco-friendly materials and textiles, such as eco-processed leather, sustainable fibres and bio paint which reflect consumers’ rising interest in ethical, sustainable products.

Our vision is to enable Progress for Humanity, and this endorsement of our approach will serve to embolden our commitment to make this vision a reality,” said Jaehoon Chang, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Company.
