MUCH ROOM AND IMPROVEMENT loniq 5 gets a futuristic makeover, with tons of space inside

- 

Hyundai has become one of the leaders when it comes to electric vehicles. The Ioniq 5 kickstarted its latest generation of EVs in 2021, bringing the looks of a five-door hatchback, with the proportions of an SUV. The Korean firm has decided to give it a midlife makeover to improve this likeable EV even further.

WHAT'S NEW?

Quite a lot. There's redesigned front and rear bumpers, new alloy wheels and a rear wiper. Inside, there are new shortcut buttons on the centre console and a new steering wheel. The old 77kWh battery pack has increased in size too, with a 84kWh unit on offer, to boost electric range. There is now the option of sporty N Line and N Line S trim levels too.
