Hyundai has updated its Ioniq 5 electric hatchback for 2023, with a larger battery and revised specification.
The car is priced from £39,345 (P11d) with a 58kWh battery or from £45,345 for the new 77.4kWh unit.
Hyundai announced the new battery in February. It replaces the existing 73kWh unit and increases the car's maximum range to 315 miles.
Along with the new battery, the updated Ioniq 5 is available with video-based digital interior and exterior mirrors. Mounted in the car's rear spoiler, the Digital Centre Mirror (DCM) provides an unobstructed, panoramic rear-facing view of the car.
A new battery heater and conditioning feature is also standard across the range and will enable the Ioniq 5 to adapt its battery temperature while travelling to support optimal charging conditions when reaching the charging point, improving real-life charging performance in hot or cold ambient conditions. This function activates automatically when a high-power charging point is entered into the vehicle’s navigation system using connected routing.
Company car drivers and fleets can select from three battery and drive types; a 58kWh rear wheel drive with a range of up to 238 miles, a 77.4kWh rear wheel drive with a range of up to 315 miles, or a 77.4kWh all-wheel drive with a range of up to 298 miles.
The Ioniq 5 is offered in four trim levels: SE Connect, Premium, Ultimate and Namsan Edition.
Starting at £39,400 (on-the-road) the SE Connect features a 12.3” audio and navigation system, wireless device charging and adaptive cruise control. Vehicle dynamics benefit from the addition of smart frequency dampers to improve the response of front and rear suspension and increase both handling response and ride comfort.
Premium models (from £41,900) are equiped with the Vehicle to Load (V2L) system, previously a cost option, part leather upholstery, upgraded soft touch interior including 64 colour ambient lighting and sliding centre console. The Premium specification level also includes the full display mirror that uses a camera positioned inside the vehicle spoiler to project a real time display onto the interior mirror. Also available on the Premium is the optional heat pump.
Now priced from £48,400, the Ultimate trim offers blind view monitor and surround view monitor as standard, along with 20-inch alloy wheels, privacy glass, heated and ventilated front seats, with heated rear, Bose premium sound system and augmented reality head up display. Options include the Heat Pump as well as a revised Tech Pack that features Remote Smart Park Assist (RSPA), Parking Collision Avoidance (PCA), Automatic flush door handles, driver seat position memory function and relaxation seats on both driver and passenger seats.
The Namsan Edition is available from £52,900. As the range topping version it features digital side mirrors, a full length vision roof with integral sunshade and both the Heat Pump and Tech Pack.
Hyundai's Ioniq 5 is the first model from its new sub-brand dedicated to electric vehicles (EVs). The car is built on Hyundai’s dedicated battery electric vehicle (BEV) architecture called Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP).
With a 350-kW charger, the Ioniq 5 can charge from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes and drivers only need to charge the vehicle for five minutes to get 60 miles of range, according to WLTP.
The front of the car is equipped with Hyundai’s first clamshell hood that minimizes panel gaps for optimal aerodynamics, while the front bumper is defined by a V-shape incorporating daytime running lights. These small pixel-like clusters also appear at the rear of the vehicle.
On the sides, auto flush door handles provide clean surface styling and enhanced aerodynamic efficiency.
Inside, the Ioniq 5 integrates advanced technologies for an enhanced digital user experience. The wide, configurable, dual cockpit features a 12-inch, full-touch infotainment screen and hoodless 12-inch digital gauge cluster.
