Model overview

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a battery-electric compact crossover SUV made by Hyundai. It is the first car to be sold under the Ioniq sub-brand, and the first model produced on the Hyundai Electric Global Modular Platform. It was announced globally in February 2021.

The design was initially present at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2019. Both the concept car and the production model have origins in the Hyundai Pony, and feature the Parametric Pixel design, a design visible on the headlights, taillights, and wheels. 

The Ioniq 5 is avaialble with two battery packs: a 58-kWh pack or a 77.4-kWh pack. The first variant with the smaller battery pack will serve as the base model for the Ioniq 5 range, and it comes with one electric motor that drives the rear wheels. The later models come with either rear-wheel drive or an additional motor up front that gives the vehicle all-wheel drive. The AWD Ioniq 5 into a real-world range test managed to go 277 miles on a full charge.
