Hyundai Ioniq 5: A Game-Changer in the Electric Vehicle Market
The Hyundai Ioniq 5, an all-electric hatchback, is set to make its debut in the UK and Australia in the second half of 2021. This innovative vehicle offers a range of features that set it apart from its competitors.
The Ioniq 5 will be available in three trim specs: SE Connect, Premium, and Ultimate. The entry-level SE Connect comes with a 58kWh lithium-ion battery pack and rear-wheel drive. Standard features for the SE Connect include 19-inch wheels, dual 12.0-inch digital displays, wireless phone charging, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, reversing camera, rear parking sensors, and navigation-based intelligent cruise control.
Premium-spec variants cost from £39,295 to £45,145 and come with additional features like powered and heated front seats, smart LED headlights, Vehicle 2 Load (V2L) charging, and Highway Driving Assist Level Two. The Premium Ioniq with the dual-motor, all-wheel drive drivetrain costs £45,145.
The top-tier "Top-Shelf" variant of the Hyundai Ioniq 5, while not explicitly priced in the given information, is expected to be available in Australia in the second half of 2021. Related premium electric vehicles in the Australian market suggest that the Hyundai Ioniq 5 top variant would likely be in a similar price range near AUD 80,000.
The Ultimate Ioniq can be optioned with a 73kWh battery pack and all-wheel drive, offering impressive performance. The Ioniq 5's fast charging capabilities are particularly noteworthy, enabling users to add 100 kilometers of effective driving range to the EV hatch in just five minutes. The vehicle can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes.
All Ioniq 5 models will be equipped with 800V battery technology, allowing for 350kW DC fast-charging. This technology, which is also found in Porsche's Taycan, sets the Ioniq 5 apart from other electric vehicles on the market.
The Ioniq 5's interior is as impressive as its charging capabilities. Standard features include a leather interior, power-heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, a sliding 'walkway' centre console, and a Bose premium audio system. Premium-spec variants also come with a separate heat pump to improve battery efficiency in cooler conditions.
The expected RRP in Australia is around the $60-65k mark, making it roughly the same price as the all-electric Kona. The UK prices for the Ioniq 5 range from £36,995 to £48,145.
The 2021 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is set to revolutionize the electric vehicle market with its advanced technology, impressive performance, and stylish design. Whether you're in the UK or Australia, keep an eye out for this game-changing vehicle.
