The Hyundai Ioniq 5 () is a battery electric compact crossover SUV produced by Hyundai since 2021.
It is the first product to be marketed under the Ioniq sub-brand, and the first model developed on the Hyundai Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP).
Overview Hyundai presented the Ioniq 5 globally on 23 February 2021. Its design was previewed by the Hyundai 45 EV Concept which was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2019. Both the concept car and the production version are inspired by the original Hyundai Pony, and features a theme, marketed as Parametric Pixel, applied to the headlights, tail lights, and wheels. The vehicle's clamshell bonnet spans the entire width with the 20-inch aerodynamic wheels. The "45" describes both the 45th anniversary of the Pony coupe and the 45-degree angles prominent on the sides of the concept. At the time, Hyundai called the design language "sensuous sportiness" and described the front and rear lights as carrying a "kinetic cube" theme.
The Ioniq 5 was developed under the project code NE as the first vehicle based on the E-GMP platform. The dedicated electric vehicle platform enables a fully flat interior floor with a 3-meter long wheelbase. The flat floor allows Hyundai engineers to develop a sliding front central console, marketed as Universal Island, which slides back by . The vehicle has a cargo capacity of about 527–531 L (18.6–18.8 cu ft) behind the rear seats, depending on market and measurement method, and approximately 1,587–1,600 L (56.0–56.5 cu ft) with the second row seats folded.Greater rear legroom space was achieved by front seats approximately 30 per cent shorter than typical.
The instrument panel of the Ioniq 5 uses two 12-inch screens: an instrument cluster display and the touchscreen infotainment system, both under a single glass screen. It is equipped with an optional head-up display with augmented reality support. Numerous interior parts are made from recycled materials, including PET bottles. The Ioniq 5 can be optioned with a single large glass panel roof without any support beams.
The Ioniq 5 also features a front boot (alternatively called a frunk), with a capacity for the RWD version (except North America), while the AWD model and all North American versions have a capacity, due to the extra mechanical components underneath to support the front electric motor. It has the ability to charge electrical equipment through the built-in V2L (Vehicle to Load) function. It can supply up to 3.6kW of power from the port mounted under the rear seats (except Australia) and from another port installed outside. The exterior port is able to supply power even if the vehicle is turned off.
In some markets, the Ioniq 5 is offered with an optional Digital Side Mirror (DSM) which replaces the conventional side mirrors with cameras and OLED screens. The feature has not been offered in the United States, where camera-based systems have not yet been permitted to replace exterior side mirrors on production passenger vehicles.
2024 facelift The facelifted Ioniq 5 was revealed on March 3, 2024. Changes include the addition of a rear hatch windscreen wiper, and an updated infotainment system. A larger battery pack (84 kWh, up from 77.4 kWh) and minor improvements to power efficiency and aerodynamics were also introduced. An N-Line variant was added to the improved Ioniq 5.
N-Line
XRT The XRT is an off-road-oriented trim introduced for the 2025 model year and revealed on September 3, 2024. Built at Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) in Georgia for the North American market, it is offered solely with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain producing 320 hp (239 kW) and 446 lb-ft (605 N⋅m), paired with the 84 kWh battery and a native North American Charging Standard (NACS) port. It adds a 23 mm (0.9 in) suspension lift for 7.0 in (178 mm) of ground clearance, 18-inch wheels with 235/60R18 all-terrain tyres, revised front and rear fascias that improve the approach angle to 19.8° and departure angle to 30.0°, front recovery hooks, and Snow, Sand and Mud terrain modes. It has an EPA-estimated range of 259 miles (417 km).
Ioniq 5 N The Ioniq 5 N was introduced on 14 July 2023 during the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The variant is the top-of-the-line model, marketed under the Hyundai N performance sub-brand.
The exterior changes include a revised front end with larger air intakes, with additional air curtains and air flaps for improved cooling. The rear portion gained a rear wiper, wing-type spoiler integrated with a triangular third brake light, and a rear diffuser. With extended wheel arches and wider track, the Ioniq 5 N is wider than the standard model and also lower. The larger front motor and front external speaker mean the Ioniq 5 N loses the front boot / trunk present in other Ioniq models.
The body in white structure of the Ioniq 5 N gains 42 additional welding points and of additional adhesives for improved rigidity. The motor and battery mountings were also reinforced, while the subframes were enhanced for lateral rigidity. Its power steering has a higher ratio and improved torque feedback.
The vehicle is equipped with two electric motors, providing a total of and of torque. Hyundai equipped the Ioniq 5 N with an N Grin Boost mode, allowing a maximum output of and of torque being released for 10 seconds. Hyundai claimed a acceleration figure of 3.5 seconds, or 3.4 seconds with launch control or with N Grin Boost mode activated. The lithium-ion battery for this variant is also extended to 84 kWh.
Several aspects were conceived to simulate an internal combustion vehicle. An N e-shift function emulates the feel of an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, by controlling motor torque to simulate the jolt between shifts. A similar system is utilised to simulate a clutch kick to initiate sliding when in N Drift Optimiser Pro mode. A system called N Active Sound+ uses eight interior and two exterior speakers to play three different sound themes based on throttle position, such as a 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine from other Hyundai N cars, futuristic EV themes and twin-engine fighter jet sounds.The N Line is a sport-styled variant added to the facelifted Ioniq 5, positioned between the standard model and the high-performance Ioniq 5 N. Exterior features include N Line-specific front and rear bumpers with light-coloured flaps inspired by the Ioniq 5 N, tweaked side skirts and 20-inch alloy wheels, while the interior adds a unique steering wheel, sport seats, metal pedals, a black headliner, red stitching and N Line badging. It first became available in Korea from March 2024, before being rolled out gradually to other markets.
Ioniq 5 eN1 Cup During the Hyundai N festival in December 2023, Hyundai revealed concept images of the Ioniq 5 eN1 Cup car, a racing variant of the Ioniq 5 N, with the goal of finishing the development in February 2024. The car features an aerodynamic bodykit, including air intakes, a rear diffuser, and a rear wing. It also features a stiffer suspension setup, lowering the ride height by . The car is also said to be about lighter than its road going counterpart. Each racing team will have access to a special version of the Sound+ system, and drivers will be able to use N Grin Boost for extra power during overtakes, and N e-shift to add virtual gears. The Ioniq 5 eN1 Cup will start racing in late April 2024 in its own one-make EV series during the Hyundai N Festival in Korea.
