This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new Hyundai IONIq 5 full-EV compact crossover. This EV is the first model in Hyundai’s new family of IONIQ electric vehicles. The Hyundai Motor Group’s plan is to introduce 23 BEV models and sell 1 billion BEV units worldwide by 2025. 3300 pre-orders of the IONIQ 5 have been placed in Canada.The entry-level IONIQ 5 standard range comes with a smaller 58 kWh battery and RWD only. It has 168 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque with 354 km of EV range. The RWD Long Range model with the larger 77.4 kWh battery has 225 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, it offers the most range at 488 km/303 miles. The AWD Long Range model has the most power with 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque. It has a 77.5 kWh battery and gets 414 km of EV range. The AWD model is only available on the top trim. This model has the fastest 0-100 km/h time which is 5.1 seconds, the RWD model with the smaller battery gets 8.5 seconds and RWD with the larger battery 7.3 seconds. It has a futuristic design which is inspired by the 1974 Pony Coupe concept. The retro looking pixel headlamps and taillights give this EV a cool vibe. It also has active air intakes, flushed door handles, a V-shaped front bumper and a clamshell hood. This is the first time Hyundai has ever used a clamshell hood. The IONIQ 5 measures 182.5 inches in overall length, 74.4 inches wide and 63 inches tall. The wheelbase is 4 inches longer than the Hyundai Palisade, which is a mid-size SUV, but is actually 14 inches shorter in length. The IONIQ 5 offers a large car-like interior space in a compact SUV. The eco-friendly interior materials and nature inspired colours are at many touch points. These materials include recycled plastic bottles, plant based yarns, natural wool yarns and bio paint with plant extracts. The moveable centre console can slide back and forth 5.5 inches, which allows the driver to freely enter and exit the cabin on either side when parked in a narrow spot. The IONIQ 5 has an available 15 watt wireless phone charger, an 8-speaker Bose sound system and it’s the first Hyundai to offer over the air wireless updates to the multimedia and navigation system.
