History/Overview
Styled like a large hatchback and marketed as a crossover, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a concept car come to life. An all-electric drivetrain powers a platform whose wheelbase is a touch longer than that of Hyundai’s big Palisade SUV.
What’s New/Key Changes From Last Year
For its second year on the market, the Ioniq 5 loses its Essential base trim, making the Preferred package the entry point to this all-electric crossover.
Available Trims
That change leaves Preferred and Ultimate trims. In addition, you can choose from standard or Long Range powertrains and, in Long Range form, rear- or all-wheel drive.
Standard Features
Preferred trim comes with 19-inch alloy wheels, auto on/off LED headlights, LED taillights, heated side mirrors, and passive keyless entry. Inside, you get heated front seats with power driver’s adjustments, a 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation, six-speaker audio, dual-zone A/C, a heated steering wheel, and digital gauges.
Ioniq 5’s basic safety suite includes automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation, lane keep/follow assist, driver attention warning, safe exit assist, highway driving assist, and a rear occupant alert.
Key Options
Hyundai reserves many features for an optional Ultimate package available on Preferred Long Range AWD models. It starts with 20-inch wheels, power-folding side mirrors, a panoramic roof, hands-free tailgate, and rain-sensing wipers. Interior additions include wireless phone charging, eight-speaker audio, leatherette upholstery, a power passenger seat, ventilated front/heated rear seats, a head-up display, ambient lighting, sliding centre console, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. The Ultimate pack adds a bunch of safety kit, too: remote park assist, surround-view cameras, forward intersection assist, reverse collision mitigation, and an upgraded highway driving assist system.
Fuel Economy
Hyundai’s fuel consumption estimates for the Ioniq 5 start at 1.8/2.4 Le/100 km (city/highway) for the Long Range RWD powertrain; standard range models are a bit less efficient, at 1.9/2.5 Le/100 km. The Long Range AWD configuration is rated for 2.1/2.6 Le/100 km.
Competition
Cross-shop the Ioniq 5 against the Kia Niro EV, Toyota bZ4X, Chevrolet Bolt EUV, Subaru Solterra, Tesla Model Y, Nissan Ariya, and Ford Mustang Mach-E.
