The IONIQ 5 from Hyundai represents an innovative leap in the world of electric vehicles (EVs), incorporating a plethora of cutting-edge features and technologies. Here's an overview of what makes the IONIQ 5 stand out:
Progressive Design: The IONIQ 5's design was inspired by Hyundai's 45 EV Concept, and it embraces clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic that emphasizes the silence of battery-electric vehicles. Some of its standout design elements include a sporty silhouette, flush door handles, a unique clamshell hood, advanced parametric pixel lights at the front and rear, and a V-shaped bumper with active air intakes.
Spacious Interior: The long wheelbase of the IONIQ 5 creates a spacious interior within a midsize CUV body. It offers electrically-adjustable front seats that can be completely reclined, a flat floor for easy movement between the front seats, and a modular dashboard with a 12-inch full-touch AVN screen. Second-row sliding seats and a universal island with a sliding console add to the interior's versatility.
Sustainable Materials: Hyundai demonstrates its commitment to sustainability in the IONIQ 5's interior, using a range of eco-friendly materials. These materials include seat and door armrest coverings made from recycled plastic bottles, polyurethane paint derived from vegetable oil, and door trim garnish panels made from recyclable paperette. Even the floor mats are crafted from regenerated nylon yarn made from recycled fishing nets and marine waste.
Innovative Platform: The IONIQ 5 is the first Hyundai model built on the E-GMP (Electric Global Modular Platform), designed specifically for battery-electric vehicles. This platform enables faster charging, longer driving range, and greater efficiency. Its flat floor, due to the absence of a transmission tunnel, allows for increased cabin space and flexible battery placement.
V2L Technology: IONIQ 5 features Vehicle to Load (V2L) technology, allowing the car to operate other electric machinery using a 220-volt plug beneath the rear seats. This external recharging plug can serve as a power source with a specific adapter.
Versatile Powertrains: Customers can choose from various battery pack options and motor layouts, including two-wheel (rear) drive and all-wheel drive configurations. The IONIQ 5 employs 800-volt battery technology for ultra-fast charging, capable of going from 10% to 80% charged in just 18 minutes.
Enhanced Handling: The E-GMP platform ensures high stability and predictive handling, and the IONIQ 5 is equipped with a five-link rear suspension system. It introduces the world's first mass-produced integrated drive axle (IDA), reducing axle weight and enhancing handling stability.
Advanced Connectivity: The IONIQ 5 offers an advanced digital experience with features like an Augmented Reality Head-Up Display, a 12-inch AVN, a 12-inch digital cluster, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, wireless phone charging, dynamic voice recognition, and a Bose premium sound system. Bluelink® connected car services provide various connected features.
Spacious Cargo: The IONIQ 5 offers a generous 527 liters of cargo space, expandable to 1,587 liters with the seats folded down. It also includes a "frunk" (front trunk) that provides up to 57 liters of additional storage space.
SmartSense and Safety: The IONIQ 5 is equipped with Hyundai's SmartSense advanced driver assistance system, offering a range of safety features, including Highway Driving Assist, Lane Following Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-avoidance Assist, Forward Collision-avoidance Assist, and more. It also features seven airbags, eCall, and other safety enhancements.
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 sets a new standard for electric vehicles with its innovative design, advanced technology, sustainability, and commitment to a greener future.
