The new Hyundai Ioniq 5 is the brand’s latest fully electric car. It’s a family SUV choice to the counterparts like the Volkswagen ID4 and Skoda Enyaq iV, and arrives with up to 300 miles of range thanks to its 72.6kWh battery. The entry-level electric car model will cost 43,000 euros. Three new models will be available: SE Connect, Premium and Ultimate.
The entry-level Hyundai Ioniq 5 SE Connect electric car come with a 58kWh battery, a single electric motor and a rear-wheel drive. It also comes with 19-inch alloy wheels, textile upholstery and a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display with a built-in sat-nav, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and DAB digital radio. They also come with a digital driver’s display, LED lights, wireless charging and adaptive cruise control as standard equipment.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 SE Premium model comes with the same battery and electric motor as the SE Connect as standard but has extra equipment. You receive heated front seats, four-way electric adjustment for the driver’s seat, an electric-opening boot lid and an extra chrome exterior trim.
Also standard are some new driver-assistance systems, including blind-spot warning and an automatic lane-changing feature for adaptive cruise control. You can also spend extra to allow your electric car to charge other electronic devices, such as laptops, or even another electric car. The SE Premium model is also available with a larger 73kWh battery and four-wheel drive.
For the Premium electric car, you can pay extra to get a larger 73kWh battery and four-wheel drive. This upgrade also arrives with 20-inch alloy wheels in Ultimate models.
Every new Hyundai Ioniq 5 comes with a five-year unlimited mileage warranty and an eight-year (or 100,000-mile) warranty for the battery. You also get a one-year subscription to the high-speed Ionity public electric-car charging network.
The popout door handles feel more like they belong on a Tesla than an affordable family car, and the Ioniq 5’s upmarket full-width brake lights with a cool pixel-like design, look equally posh for a relatively affordable electric car. You can even get it with rear-facing cameras, similar to the Audi Q4 e-tron electric SUV.
