The IONIQ 5, Hyundai's all-new 100% electric crossover, is now available to order and test drive at Smiths Hyundai, Peterborough. The IONIQ 5 sets a new benchmark in electric mobility, featuring innovative exterior design, strong performance, eco-friendly materials, and ultra-fast charging.
The exterior of the Hyundai IONIQ 5 is characterized by sharp, clean lines and cutting-edge angles, giving it a sophisticated and modern appearance from any angle. Its sleek profile and geometric styling accents contribute to its distinctive look, making it a standout in the electric vehicle market. The ‘Parametric Pixel’ lights at the front and back ensure that the IONIQ 5 is easily recognizable, day or night, adding to its unique and futuristic design.
Special attention has been paid to aerodynamics to reduce energy consumption and enhance efficiency. The clamshell bonnet design minimizes panel gaps, improving airflow and reducing drag. The 20-inch alloy wheels, the largest ever fitted to a Hyundai EV, have been optimized to aid airflow, further enhancing the vehicle’s aerodynamic performance. These wheels not only look impressive but also contribute to the overall efficiency of the IONIQ 5.
The flush-fitting door handles are another innovative feature designed to improve aerodynamics. These handles extend automatically when required, providing easy access to the vehicle, and retract when the car is in motion to reduce drag. This seamless integration of functionality and design ensures that the IONIQ 5 remains sleek and efficient at all times.
By incorporating these advanced design elements, Hyundai has created an electric vehicle that is both visually striking and highly efficient. The combination of sharp lines, geometric accents, and innovative aerodynamic features makes the IONIQ 5 a top choice for drivers who value style, performance, and sustainability.
The IONIQ 5’s interior is designed to be a home away from home, featuring a simple yet stylish design that is both visually appealing and user-friendly. The interior incorporates many sustainably sourced materials, including the seats, headlining, door trim, flooring, and armrests. This commitment to sustainability not only enhances the eco-friendly credentials of the IONIQ 5 but also provides a luxurious and comfortable environment for all occupants.
Comfort is at the forefront of the interior design. The front seats are electrically adjustable, ensuring that everyone can find their perfect seating position. For added comfort, both the seats and the steering wheel are heated, making cold mornings much more bearable. The front seats can also be reclined to the optimum angle, providing the occupant with a feeling of weightlessness—perfect for taking a break on long journeys.
The IONIQ 5 also features sound deadening around the rear motor, which helps to reduce cabin noise and create a quieter, more serene driving experience. This attention to detail ensures that the interior remains a peaceful sanctuary, even when driving at higher speeds.
The EV platform of the Hyundai IONIQ 5 allows for a very long wheelbase, creating an exceptionally spacious interior. This extended wheelbase not only enhances passenger comfort but also maximizes the available cabin space, making it one of the roomiest electric vehicles in its class. The interior floor is flat, which makes the car’s footwells surprisingly roomy and facilitates easier movement inside the car. This design feature is particularly beneficial for families and those who frequently travel with passengers.
The moveable centre console adds to the interior’s flexibility, allowing those in the front seats to exit the vehicle via the same side if parked in a tight space. This innovative feature is especially useful in urban environments where parking can be challenging. The centre console is also equipped with cupholders, storage compartments, and USB connections for those seated in the back, ensuring that all passengers have access to essential amenities.
It’s not only the cabin of the IONIQ 5 that’s spacious. The boot offers 531 litres of space with the rear seats in place, providing ample room for luggage, groceries, and other cargo. When you need more space, the 60/40 split rear seats can be folded flat to expand the storage capacity to a cavernous 1,600 litres. This versatility makes the IONIQ 5 ideal for road trips, outdoor adventures, and everyday errands.
Additionally, the IONIQ 5 features up to 57 litres of additional storage space in the car’s “frunk” (front trunk) under the bonnet. This extra storage area is perfect for smaller items that you want to keep easily accessible.
The digital driver’s display in the Hyundai IONIQ 5 is highly customizable, allowing drivers to tailor the information shown to their specific needs. This feature ensures that essential data such as speed, navigation, and vehicle status are easily accessible and displayed in a clear, user-friendly manner. Additionally, the augmented reality head-up display transforms the windscreen into a dynamic display, reducing distractions and allowing the driver to focus on the road. This innovative technology projects important information directly onto the windscreen, such as navigation directions and speed limits, enhancing safety and convenience.
The IONIQ 5 also features dual 12.3-inch screens on the dashboard, which integrate satellite navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and dual-zone climate control. These high-resolution screens provide a seamless and intuitive interface for accessing various functions and entertainment options, ensuring a connected and enjoyable driving experience.
Bluelink connected car services and the accompanying app offer a wide range of features, allowing drivers to control their car via smartphone or voice commands. This includes remote start, climate control, and vehicle status checks. The satellite navigation system leverages Bluelink’s cloud computing capabilities for more accurate traffic forecasting and arrival times, ensuring that drivers can plan their journeys with confidence.
In terms of safety and driver assistance, the IONIQ 5 is equipped with Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA2). This advanced system uses cameras, sensors, and navigation data to control distance and speed, assist with lane-centering, and facilitate lane changes. HDA2 enhances the driving experience by providing semi-autonomous driving capabilities, making long highway journeys more comfortable and less stressful.
The Advance and Premium models of the Hyundai IONIQ 5 are available with two rear-wheel-drive battery pack options, catering to different driving needs and preferences. The Standard Range 63kWh battery provides up to 170PS and offers a range of up to 273 miles on a single charge. This option is ideal for drivers who prioritize efficiency and daily commuting.
For those seeking more power and extended range, the Long Range 84kWh battery delivers up to 228PS and offers an impressive range of up to 354 miles. This option is perfect for long-distance travel and those who require a higher-performance vehicle.
Meanwhile, the N Line, Ultimate, and N Line S variants come equipped with the Long Range 84kWh battery, offering both rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) powertrain options. This flexibility allows drivers to choose the drivetrain that best suits their driving conditions and preferences.
For the N Line and N Line S models, the Long Range 84kWh battery with a 228PS rear-wheel-drive powertrain offers a range of up to 320 miles, providing a balance of power and efficiency. The all-wheel-drive option for these models delivers a range of up to 307 miles, ensuring enhanced traction and stability in various driving conditions.
