Hyundai Ioniq 5 gets a futuristic midlife makeover, with tons of room 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 are 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.
UNDER THE BONNET?
A choice of two battery packs, being a 63kWh or the new 84kWh unit.
We're driving the larger 84kWh car, which comes with dual electric motors for all-wheel drive. In terms of power, the motors produce a total of 325bhp and 605Nm of torque, while 60mph takes 5.1 seconds and the car will top-out at 114mph. Hyundai claims the car can travel 307 miles between trips to the plug and that 350kW DC rapid-charging is compatible, allowing for a 10-80% top-up to take just 18 minutes.
