Nearly new buying guide: Hyundai Ioniq
Here’s a taste of the future in used car form, priced from £10kIt might not look like much of a trailblazer, but the Hyundai Ioniq was, at its launch in 2017, the first car to be offered for sale with three forms of electrification. You could have it as a hybrid model that combines a petrol engine with an electric motor, a plug-in hybrid version with a bigger battery that you can charge externally or a purely electric vehicle.
Now, thanks to its competitive prices on used car forecourts, it offers buyers a nifty and good-value springboard into the fast-approaching future. You can pick up the hybrid model from just £10,000 and the earliest plug-in hybrids start at around £11,000. You’ll need a little over £14,000 to secure a fully electric one.
All the different versions are quite pleasant to drive and to use, too. With the petrol engine and electric motor working together in the ‘regular’ hybrid and the plug-in hybrid, performance is pretty good. The standard six-speed dual-clutch gearbox in both the regular hybrid and plug-in hybrid models can be hesitant off the line, but once you’re up and running, it changes swiftly and slickly through the gears.

First drive: 2021 Hyundai Ioniq 5 prototype review
Is this electric concept car made real as fantastic to drive as it is to look at? We get our first indication from a top-spec prototype
What’s nevertheless clear is that thoughtful ergonomics, good range and performance, and an easy drivability will stand the Ioniq 5 in good stead. What should worry rivals is that this car also possesses in abundance the one quality so many other electric cars lack: personality.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 Long Range AWD (prototype) specifications
Price £44,000 (estimated) | Engine Two permanent magnet synchronous motors | Power 302bhp | Torque 446lb ft | Gearbox 1-spd automatic | Kerb weight 2150kg (estimated) | 0-62mph 5.2sec | Top speed 115mph | Battery 72.6kWh (usable), lithium ion | Range 255 miles (estimated) | CO2, tax band 0g/km, 1% | Rivals Ford Mustang Mach-E, Volkswagen ID 4

Bold, cleverly configured hatchback-cum-SUV was a trailblazer in 2021 but where does it stand today?

Glad it's getting the attention. Love the design language. Hope they stick with it and make a smaller and version.
It's also not only a looker but really efficient and clever as well. Hyundai and Kia have been doing well in the EV market but this GIMP (lol) platform could see them give Tesla a genuine run for their money.

There could be a Hyundai Ioniq 5 N on the way
N division makes electric and fuel cells its priority. Fancy a fast retro EV?
It looks like an N version of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 may be in the works. Yep, fans of retro-inspired wedgy crossovers who need to get places quickly, rejoice!
Fresh from it scooping our design gong at the Top Gear Electric Awards, N division has hinted to us that Hyundai’s retro EV might be the next model in line for a performance upgrade.
“Could you imagine we were not working on it already?” teased Albert Biermann, boss of N. His colleague Thomas Schemera was a bit less cryptic.
“Everybody knows that our electric global modular platform (E-GMP) has a lot of potential and shows a lot of flexibility. One thing is for sure, eco-friendly models are on our priority list – at the top.
“We never stop thinking about extending our product portfolio and strategically we are moving full speed ahead with eco-friendly offerings. We are moving ahead with our battery electric concept and our fuel cell electric concepts.”

Hyundai’s N performance division to offer electric models – report
The Hyundai N division might be a latecomer in the performance car game, but it is fast developing a reputation for itself with formidable hot hatches like the i30 N and i20 N, while also dipping its toes in the SUV game recently with the Kona N.
But with the world moving towards electrification, it’s inevitable that the performance models will follow and that could happen sooner rather than later for Hyundai N.
Hyundai’s marketing boss Thomas Schemera hinted this at the recent Kona N global debut. According to GoAuto, Schemera – while referring to the 600kW RM20e prototype that was revealed last year – said there is “something in the pipeline not too far down the road”.
“Maybe it rings a bell if you think about our e-GMP, our electric global modular platform, this shows a lot of potential and a lot of flexibility, so stay tuned.”
This e-GMP architecture has so far only spawned the Ioniq 5, a wedge-shaped midsize crossover-hatch that harks back to the Hyundai Pony of the 1970s, but it will soon spawn a battery-powered sedan called the Ioniq 6 and a large SUV named Ioniq 7.
It remains to be seen whether the N division’s first performance model will be based around the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6 – or even another model that has yet to be revealed. But it will certainly be powerful. When revealing its e-GMP architecture last year, Hyundai said that vehicles based on this platform could produce up to 450 kW. The Kia EV6 that’s also underpinned by this platform, comes rather close with its 430 kW flagship model, while the most powerful Hyundai Ioniq 5 is good for 225 kW and 605 Nm, and a 5.2 second 0-100km/h sprint. That is already on the ‘warm’ side of things, but Hyundai will clearly be aiming higher than that with its first battery-powered N model.
