Hyundai Redefines Electric Mobility Lifestyle With The IONIQ 5

Hyundai has debuted their IONIQ 5 all-electric, midsize CUV during a virtual world premiere event, heralding the first of Hyundai’s new battery-electric dedicated vehicles. IONIQ 5 offers innovative interior design with eco-friendly materials, strong performance mated with ultra-fast charging and a Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function as well as advanced connectivity and driver assistance features that will offer the ultimate in-car experience while ensuring safety.

IONIQ 5’s unique exterior design is characterized by the Pony-inspired profile over a 3,000-mm wheelbase, equipped with Hyundai’s first clamshell hood that minimizes panel gaps for optimal aerodynamics.

“A new mobility experience for the next generation—this was the mission from the first day we began this projectto look ahead towards the horizon, but stay fundamentally Hyundai,” said SangYup Lee, Senior Vice President and Head of Hyundai Global Design Center. “IONIQ 5 is the new definition of timeless, providing a common thread linking our past to the present and future.”

The ‘Living Space’ theme that runs throughout the interior is embodied by the Universal Island, a moveable centre console that can slide back as much as 140 mm, allowing for more freedom of movement inside the vehicle. Its interior touchpoints—seats, headliner, door trim, floor and armrest—use eco-friendly, sustainably sourced materials, such as recycled PET bottles, eco-processed leather with plant-based extracts, and bio paint with plant extracts. Customers can choose from nine exterior colours, including five nature-inspired hues exclusive to IONIQ 5. The interior has three colour options.

With a range of power electric configurations to fit the mobility needs of every driver, customers can choose either 58 kWh or 72.6 kWh battery pack options. IONIQ 5’s E-GMP can support both 400-V and 800-V charging capability infrastructures, the world’s first patented technology for stable charging compatibility, without the need for additional adapters. 

IONIQ 5 also provides an innovative V2L function that can supply up to 3.6 kW of power, allowing for the choice of free use or charging electric motor devices, acting as a charger on wheels. The V2L port, one located under the second-row seats, and another located on the vehicle exterior, is activated when the vehicle is on.

A first time for Hyundai, IONIQ 5 features an Augmented Reality Head-Up Display (AR HUD), essentially turning the windshield into a display screen, equipped with the next level of Hyundai SmartSense, advanced driver assistance system, ensuring the highest levels of safety and convenience on the road.
