Overview

Hyundai IONIQ 5 at a glance

Quick model context before comparing photos and trim-level specifications.

Launched in early 2021, the first-generation IONIQ 5 marks a significant shift for Hyundai, utilizing a purpose-built electric platform rather than adapting an existing combustion engine chassis. The E-GMP architecture allows for a completely flat floor and a stretched 3,000 mm wheelbase, pushing the wheels out to the corners of the 4,635 mm body. This layout maximizes interior space and enables ultra-fast 800-volt charging capabilities, allowing the battery to go from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes on a 350 kW charger. The model is aimed at buyers seeking a highly practical, mid-size electric SUV with striking retro-futuristic styling and substantial driving range.

  • Power: 170-325 hp

Hyundai IONIQ 5 overview

Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.

Design

The exterior of the IONIQ 5 stands out with its angular, pixel-inspired design language and crossover proportions. It features a clamshell hood to minimize panel gaps and improve aerodynamics, while flush door handles contribute to the sleek profile. Despite its hatchback-like silhouette, it sits in the SUV segment with a ground clearance of 160 mm. LED lighting is used extensively, incorporating signature parametric pixel details in both the front headlamps and rear taillights. Depending on the trim, the vehicle rides on large alloy wheels up to 20 inches in diameter and can be optioned with a solar roof panel to trickle-charge the battery.

Interior

Inside, the cabin takes advantage of the flat floor with a movable center console called the Universal Island, which can slide back up to 140 mm. The dashboard features a seamless dual-screen setup, combining two 12.3-inch displays for the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system. Front occupants get Zero Gravity seats that fully recline, while their 30% thinner seatbacks increase rear legroom. Rear passengers benefit from sliding and reclining seats. Cargo capacity is highly practical, offering 527 liters in the rear trunk and an additional 57-liter front trunk. Eco-friendly and recycled materials are utilized throughout the interior.

Performance

The IONIQ 5 offers multiple battery and powertrain configurations, including rear-wheel drive (single motor) and all-wheel drive (dual motor) layouts. Battery capacities range from a standard 58 kWh pack to larger 73 kWh, 77.4 kWh, and 84 kWh options depending on the market and trim level. Power outputs start at 170 horsepower for the base RWD model and climb to 325 horsepower for the top-tier AWD versions. The 73 kWh RWD version maximizes efficiency with an estimated range of up to 485 kilometers, while the 305-horsepower AWD variant can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds.

Practicality

As a daily driver, the IONIQ 5 excels in utility. The 3,000 mm wheelbase translates to exceptional cabin volume for a vehicle of this footprint. The sliding rear seats allow owners to prioritize either passenger legroom or rear cargo space depending on the trip. In addition to the standard storage areas, the car features Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology, providing a 3.6 kW power outlet under the rear seats and via an external adapter to run household appliances or charge other devices, making it highly versatile for camping or emergencies.

Safety and tech

Standard and available technology is extensive, centering around the dual 12.3-inch screens with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Advanced trims include a Head-Up Display and a BOSE premium audio system. Safety equipment is comprehensive, featuring active cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring with video feed, and forward collision avoidance. Parking is aided by a surround-view camera system and a remote smart parking assistant that allows the car to be maneuvered from outside the vehicle.

Buyer notes

Shoppers considering the IONIQ 5 should carefully review the battery options available in their specific market, as capacities and resulting ranges vary significantly between trim levels. If maximizing range is the priority, the larger battery with a single-motor RWD setup is the optimal choice. Those living in colder climates should look for models equipped with the optional heat pump and battery heating system to maintain efficiency in winter conditions.
