New Hyundai Ioniq 5: UK prices announced for crossover EV

All-new mid-sized crossover features styling influenced by 45 EV concept car; 800V technology means ultra-rapid charging

Hyundai has announced UK pricing and specifications for its bold new Ioniq 5 electric crossover, which will start from £36,995 when it arrives later this year.

The first car to be launched under Hyundai’s Ioniq electric sub-brand, which is designed to spearhead a renewed push into electrification for the Korean brand, the Ioniq 5 will be sold in SE Connect, Premium and Ultimate trim levels, in addition to the limited Project 45 launch edition.

Entry-level SE Connect cars will use the 58kWh battery and a rear-wheel drive configuration, with a single motor delivering 167bhp. It promises a combined range of 240 miles, and can manage 0-62mph in 8.5sec. Standard equipment includes 19in alloy wheels, a 12.3in infotainment system, digital instrument cluster, wireless smartphone charging, reversing camera and rear parking sensors, plus navigation-based smart cruise control.

800V battery technology is included as standard, bringing support for up to 350kW DC rapid charging that can take the battery from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes, or deliver 60 miles of driving range in as little as five minutes. Previously, 800V cabling has been available on only high-end sports cars like the Porsche Taycan.

Hyundai Ioniq 5: meet the best electric car design of the year

Retro car design is in this year, and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV is the best of the lot. Here’s why

Isn’t electric car jargon ugly? Previously we could salivate over horsepower, torque, injectors and manifolds. Now we’re stuck with miles per kWh and charging socket numberjumbles.

One of the terms you’ll see us regularly lauding is the ‘bespoke EV’ or ‘ground-up electric car’. That’s a car designed to only ever be electric (like a Honda e, Mustang Mach-E or any Tesla) as opposed to say, a Vauxhall Corsa-e. Stuff that’s born electric rather than retrofitted with batteries generally tends to be better sussed out.

This is why the Ioniq 5 is exciting long after you’ve drunk in its retro-angular shape. After all, we’re merely talking about a 5dr, five-seat Korean hatchback here. But because it lives on Hyundai’s all-new, EV-only platform, it presses home many advantages.

There’s a mighty three metres of tin between the axles. So, adults can sit behind adults in an easy-to-park box. The batteries – choose from a regular 54kWh or supersized 72kWh – are posted beneath your feet. Ideal for the centre of gravity, though don’t mistake this for a sporty car. You assume the commanding driving position of an SUV, with none of the fake off-road pretentiousness.

Hyundai reveals details of Ioniq 6 electric sedan

When Hyundai revealed its Ioniq 5 electric crossover hatch earlier this year, it boasted that this was the first of a whole family of battery-powered vehicles that would be underpinned by the new E-GMP platform. Next in line is a new midsize sedan called the Ioniq 6, and Hyundai has just released a few of its powertrain details at a press conference in the US.

Here it was announced that the Ioniq 6 would be available with two powertrain options, Carscoops reports, with the flagship powered by a twin-motor set-up that’s good for 230 kW. Hyundai also announced an entry-level single-motor model that would produce 160 kW.

While in performance terms the Ioniq 6 might not be the Tesla fighter that some might have hoped for, sister-brand Kia does come closer to that ideal with its EV6 that offers up to 430 kW and a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 3.5 seconds. Perhaps that set-up or something similar will find its way into the Hyundai at some point in the future, especially since Hyundai has already hinted that all-electric N performance models are on the way.

Hyundai Thinks A Subscription Will Convince Buyers To Purchase The Ioniq 5

You’ve never owned an EV before, but you keep seeing everyone talk about them. You are in need of a new car, but you’re unsure about how an EV will affect your life with things like charging and range. You go to Hyundai to see the Ioniq 5 and they tell you you can try it out for three months before committing to buy. That’s the plan Hyundai thinks will get new buyers into its EVs, as it told Automotive News.

Make no mistake, this plan isn’t just about getting people that are on the fence about buying an EV into an EV. This is also a show of how confident Hyundai is in its product, confident enough that it’s willing to let people try out the Ioniq 5 for a few months.

Here’s how it will work: Hyundai will offer a subscription for one to three months. No word on pricing yet, but the payment will cover the Ioniq, maintenance, and insurance just like most other subscription services. Sounds simple enough, but it’s also a gamble. What if people do this and end up not purchasing? Hyundai doesn’t think that will happen. That confidence I mentioned? Company executives think the car and subscription will win people over enough to purchase.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate 73kWh AWD 2021 UK review

Should I buy one?

The Ioniq 5 has a distinct character, both in its style and the way it chooses comfort over sharp dynamics, and pulls it off well. It won’t upend the electric SUV segment, but it’s a compelling option in a quickly developing class.

What's perhaps even more significant than the Ioniq 5 in itself is that it will spawn a whole range of competitive cars from Kia and Hyundai and possibly also Genesis.

True. The more I see of it, the more I like it.

And there is no denying that the tech offered in it is brilliant (E-GMP)

And with a huge range of battery and engine combinations, they are definitely a good contender in the next generation EV market
