Hyundai Ioniq 5 price and range
With a single motor and the 72.6kWh battery pack, the Ioniq 5 is good for a WLTP-standardised range of 300 miles. Add another motor at the front axle and that goes down to 270 miles, while the single motor 58kWh car has a range of 240 miles. All Ioniq 5s come with both 400V and 800V charging infrastructures, a capability previously the preserve of the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT. This means that while hooked up to a 350kW charger, the Ioniq 5 can be boosted from 10 per cent to 80 per cent charge in 18 minutes. Five minutes on the juice will give the Ioniq 5 an extra 62 miles of range.
Now then, what will you have to Pony up for the privilege of Ioniq 5 ownership? Well, the range will introduce, as is becoming the norm, with a first edition of sorts, named ‘Project 45 Edition’, named for Hyundai’s 45 years of design heritage. Just 3,000 are on their way to the UK and Europe, starting from £45,000 including the Plug-in Car Grant. As you’d expect, it gets all the toys, from the AR windscreen, to solar power in the roof and 20-inch wheels. The least expensive model will be the 58kWh RWD car in SE Connect trim, priced from £33,995. For £36,295 you'll get the same mechanicals in Premium trim, while the 72.6kWh RWD machine in Preimium trim is £38,945 and with AWD is £42,145. There are other models on top of those, closing out with the RWD 72.6kWh car in Ultimate trim with the added tech pack, yours for £46,640. As for what’s to come? Hyundai claims this is just the latest in a line-up of Ioniq-badged machinery to come. We’re all for it so far.
