The IONIQ 5 is Hyundai's first dedicated EV on the E-GMP platform, the car that signalled the brand was finally taking electric seriously. 800 V architecture, retro-cool styling, and an interior that feels like nothing else under $90k.
What you are buying
A 72.6 kWh battery, dual-motor AWD making a combined 225 kW, and a WLTP range of around 430 km. 800 V architecture means 10 to 80 per cent DC charge in around 18 minutes on a fast enough charger.
Cartell Assessment
The IONIQ 5 was the EV that proved Korean manufacturers were ahead of the Germans on this front. Years on, it still earns its asking price on the strength of the cabin, the charging speed, and the road manners.
