Hyundai Ioniq 5 buying guide

About the Hyundai Ioniq 5

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is one of our favourite electric cars. It’s luxurious, good to drive, efficient and practical. And excellent value on the used market. It’ll still look futuristic in 10 years’ time, and we expect its charging technology to still be competitive by then as well. As it is, the Ioniq 5 is one of the few EVs that can use its battery to power other electrical items.

What versions of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 are there?

All Ioniq 5s look like they’ve dropped down to earth from a faraway planet, but the lineup is fairly simple. There are two battery sizes and a handful of trim levels – most cars come in Premium or Ultimate trim levels, while a couple of sporty looking N Line trim levels were added more recently.

If you want a sleeker look than the Ioniq 5’s boxy goodness, check out the closely related Hyundai Ioniq 6.

What features does the Hyundai Ioniq 5 have?

Too many to list, frankly. Every Ioniq 5 gets heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, plus 19- or 20-inch alloy wheels and convenience features such as keyless entry and a reversing camera. There’s also enough driver assistance kit that the Ioniq 5 can even drive itself in some scenarios.

Is the Hyundai Ioniq 5 a good car?

The Ioniq 5 is a fantastic car. It has all the powertrain tech sorted – over 300 miles of range, super-fast charging capability and the power to charge up small appliances – and an ultra-modern interior with an abundance of driving and entertainment tech. Even though it’s been on sale for several years now, it’s still one of the best EVs and still looks fresher than the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 motor range explained

Hyundai Ioniq 5 58kWh RWD

You can expect around 200 miles of real-world range from an Ioniq 5 with the smaller 58kWh battery (the official estimate is 240 miles to a charge), which is a decent amount and more than enough if you predominantly drive short or medium-length journeys. A 170hp motor enables a smooth 0-62mph time of 8.5 seconds – that’s about the same as a Skoda Enyaq or Renault Scenic E-Tech.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 73kWh RWD

A larger battery boosts the quoted range estimate to 300 miles (give or take, depending on the spec), while a more powerful 217hp motor reduces the 0-62mph time by a second.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 73kWh AWD

A second motor gives this Ioniq 5 four-wheel drive, for better grip in poor weather and faster acceleration in the dry. With just over 300hp, the acceleration time is a hot hatch-beating 5.2 seconds – at the expense of a few miles of range compared with the rear-wheel-drive version above.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 N 84kWh AWD

The one where sporty electric cars got serious. It might be a 2.2-tonne crossover, but the Ioniq 5 N thinks it’s a racecar. There are simulated gearshifts and engine noise – and they actually feel realistic – as well as Drag and Track modes that optimise the battery for whatever motorsport discipline you’re pretending to be in. With launch control engaged, it’ll hurtle from 0-62mph in just 3.4 seconds, and onto a 161mph top speed.
