Hyundai IONIQ 5 Model Research and Info
Â
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 is an SUV of contrasts: It blends a contemporary composition with a retro-styled shape that merges new-age with old-fashioned; this merging of opposites is complemented by a boxy design with a sealed-off grille that signifies its EV configuration. Moreover, the IONIQ 5 is brimming with unique features that make it stand out among the competition. Case in point?
Unobstructed airflow filtrates through the lower fascia opening; an integrated aerodynamic spoiler gives it a uniquely styled appearance and a parametric pixel design is utilized for the IONIQ's projector LED front headlights. All of this comes together to produce an SUV that's as aesthetic as it is practical. Additionally, the IONIQ boasts a plethora of tech features such as an augmented reality head-up display, blindspot camera system, a specially designed two-spoke steering wheel, and much more.
These highlights are accompanied by the IONIQ's many safety features. Some of these includeÂ
- Available lane-departure warning
- Forward collision warning
- Adaptive cruise control
- Parking assist
- Driver attention warning
Trim Levels
With all that it has to offer, the IONIQ 5 goes the extra mile with its various trim levels. Each offers its own unique set of advantages while maintaining the reliable, stylish, trailblazing attributes that are synonymous with the Hyundai brand. The trims are as follows:
- SE
- SEL
- Limited
Beginning at $42,985 with the SE trim and going up to $54,685 with the Limited, the IONIQ 5 offers a range of trim options to match both your preference and budget.
Technology and Connectivity
As an all-electric performance vehicle, the IONIQ 5 comes fully loaded. The electric motor and battery are kept happy with an air intake integrated into the front grille. And the modern advancements don't stop there. The interior boasts an infotainment system equipped with N-specific software controls; additional features include:
- Adjustable road-grip levels
- Battery preconditioning
- Drift optimizer
- Torque distribution
- Customizable instrument cluster
EV Trailblazer
With the rapid transition to electric, the automotive industry is going through some dramatic shifts. And the IONIQ 5 has firmly secured its position as a trailblazer in the EV revolution. And this was by design. Hyundai was not attempting to be another auto corporation jumping on the EV bandwagon. Instead, its aim was to lead the way in electric vehicle design and innovation with the IONIQ 5 as its flagship. And this was accomplished through its many EV features; some of which include:
- 800V ultrafast charging
- 310 miles of range
- Lithium ion battery
- 125kW electric motor
- Bio paint surfacing, and more
The IONIQ 5 has a rich history; it has evolved with the times from its past generation models to its current form. The current and previous model years are as follows:

Hyundai IONIQ 5 vs. The Competition
With its many useful features and conveniences, you may wonder how the IONIQ 5 holds up against its rivals. Let's take a closer, more in-depth look at how it stacks up against the competition.
Hyundai IONIQ 5 vs. Kia EV6
Both the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and the Kia EV6 are trailblazers. However, when contemplating a clear winner between these two SUVs, the final decision will be based on the details. Each model offers an aesthetically pleasing exterior, excellent range, and fast-charging capabilities. But the Hyundai is more cost-effective and boasts a more responsive handling. Conversely, many of the Kia's controls lack the user-friendly, intuitive design that you'd expect from a modern SUV. For these reasons-in addition to many others-the IONIQ 5 comes out on top.
Hyundai IONIQ 5 vs. Tesla Model Y
When considering comfort and interior space, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 comes out ahead of the Tesla Model Y. Outfitted with abundant front and back legroom, the IONIQ 5 gives passengers ample space to relax, stretch out, and enjoy the ride. Moreover, the IONIQ 5 also has more headroom than the Tesla Model Y. This additional space is also coupled with adjustable seats that can be upgraded to include both heated and cooling features. In all fairness, the Model Y does retain heated seats too; however, it just doesn't match up to the IONIQ customization capabilities. And as if all of this wasn't enough, the IONIQ 5 offers superior soundproofing when compared to the Tesla Y, promoting a more peaceful driving experience.
Hyundai IONIQ 5 vs. Mustang Mach-E
The IONIQ comes out on top when compared to the Mustang Mach-E in many ways. However, one of the biggest advantages is in regard to ride quality and handling. The IONIQ's suspension and low center of gravity produces superior ride comfort with excellent handling. The result? Bounces from bumps, bulges, and uneven pavement are easily absorbed. Moreover, body motions are controlled with minimum lean. And all of this comes together to produce a very responsive and athletic performance. The Mach-E is the more athletic option; however, this "bargain" loses its appeal as it has a labored and high-strung feel when going over irregular pavement.
