Product Overview

Hyundai IONIQ 5 is a sleek electric crossover that is the first model in Hyundai's new IONIQ sub-brand. Thanks to its new pure-electric Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), the IONIQ 5 delivers interior space unexpected for a vehicle of its size. Another advantage of the new platform manifests in IONIQ 5's 3000mm wheelbase.
Unlike the first electric vehicles released by most competitors, the IONIQ 5 uses a distinct design language. Details such as the clamshell hood and auto-flush door handles allow for a clean and aerodynamic exterior that is bound to attract eyeballs.
Hyundai's new E-GMP platform supports both 400V and 800V charging, with fast charging at 350kW capable of delivering a 10-80% charge in just 18 minutes. The new IONIQ 5 is available with two battery options and two drivetrain configurations (RWD or AWD), offering a maximum electric range of 480km on a single charge. With the larger battery and AWD setup, the IONIQ 5 is able to accelerate to 100km/h in just over 5 seconds. It is also able to tow up to 1.6 metric tons.
Technology-wise, the IONIQ 5 comes with what you would expect from an electric vehicle from South Korea. That is to say a full set of connected-car features, augmented reality features (AR Head-Up-Display), and driver assist features are available.

Reviewer score 71%
Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
The Ioniq 5 has a 58kWh battery that's always paired with a single 166bhp motor. The larger (73kWh) battery can be had with rear-wheel drive and 214bhp or with an additional front motor for a total of 300bhp. With prices ranging between £36,995 and £48,145, it’s all very much in line with the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Volkswagen ID 4. The ride is impressively soft and comfortable, and potholes are adroitly dealt with.

Pros
  • Impressive range
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Good infotainment
Cons
  • Not the most fun to drive

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The Ioniq 5 is longer and wider than Hyundai's Tucson mid-size SUV - though its roofline is slightly lower. At 3,000mm, the gap between the front and rear axles is a couple of millimeters longer even than that on an Audi A8. The top spec model driven here keeps that 73kWh battery pack, but adds a second motor, this time at the front, for a combined total of 301bhp and 605Nm of torque. While range drops slightly to 267 miles, this version is significantly quicker - 0-62 takes a hot hatch-like 5.2 seconds. Prices start at £36,995 for the entry-level model.

Pros
  • Gorgeous interior
  • Impressive range
  • Excellent infotainment system
Cons
  • Lack of rear cameras

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
There are seven versions of the Ioniq 5 on offer to UK customers, with a choice of three powertrains. The 73kWh Premium-spec car features a rear-mounted electric motor with 215bhp and 350Nm of torque. This car's 7.4-second 0-62mph time isn't as fast as the dual-motor model's 5.2 seconds, but it does bring a useful saving of just over £6,000 on list price.

Pros
  • Fantastic infotainment
  • Excellent range-topping electric motor
Cons
  • No front motor

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The Ioniq 5 sits on E-GMP, Hyundai’s first bespoke electric-vehicle platform. Its 8-bit, eighties-influenced styling has really split opinion. A three-pin socket mounted on the front of the rear seats allows you to charge or run all manner of devices, including an Auto Express-issue MacBook Pro laptop.

Pros

Reviewer score 74%
Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
Hyundai has turned to the past for the design inspiration of the first standalone Ioniq model. Features taken from the striking Pony Coupé concept from 1974. Since the car sits on a bespoke EV platform, the 5 is noticeably more relaxed than a Kona Electric. Prices are still to be confirmed, but it's expected that the bulk of the range will be priced between £40,000-£45,000.

Pros
  • Sleek design

Cons
  • Not as powerful as rivals

Hyundai claims 296 miles in the Ioniq's thriftiest setting. You can expect an ID.3 rivalling 260-plus from the all-wheel drive variant. There are three trims: SE Connect starting from £36,995, Premium clocking from £39,295 and Ultimate available from £42,295.

Pros

Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 is one of the easiest EVs out there for getting the most out of its potential. The interior appears quite minimalist, but the more time you spend in it reveals just how much practicality there is. Hyundai has also done a little more for the planet, and manufactured many components from more sustainable materials. The car packs in an 800V battery system, which enables it to be charged via 350 kW chargers.
