Two months after the world premiere, Hyundai is releasing a series of values ​​and prices. The officially approved consumption figures are also included. We have updated this introduction article accordingly. The prices and configurations can be calculated more precisely with the Hyundai configurator.

After Hyundai had already made the Ioniq 5 palatable with insights into the design and interior, the expected premiere now took place. The fully electric car is the first representative of the new sub-brand and on the E-GMP platform. In addition to what is already known, the group has shown some innovations. Hyundai confirmed the use of an 800-volt charging system as in the Porsche Taycan, which is also intended for charging other vehicles. What is new, however, is that standard household electrical appliances can also be operated. The Ioniq 5 is also one of the few electric cars on the market that can pull up to 1,600 kilograms.

Customers can combine four different drive configurations with the Ioniq 5 electric car with two battery sizes. The top equipment has a total system output of 225 kilowatts (305 hp) with a four-wheel drive and a 72.6-kilowatt-hour battery. 605 Newton meters of torque catapult this variant from a standing start to 100 kilometres per hour in 5.2 seconds. According to the WLTP method, a range of 432 kilometres per battery charge is calculated when riding on 20-inch rims. The 19-inch aluminium increases the range to 462 kilometres. This corresponds to a consumption of 18.8-kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometres (17.6 with 19-inch tires). In the city, Hyundai gives the range at 597 (20 inches) and 643 kilometres (19 inches).

If you combine the two engines with the 58-kilowatt battery, you get 173 kilowatts (235 hp) of total output and the aforementioned acceleration in 6.1 seconds. This variant can travel 362 kilometres on one charge. In the city, the range increases to 542 kilometres. Hyundai specifies consumption at 18.1-kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometres.

The large rear engine in combination with the largest battery achieves the maximum range: 470 kilometres should be possible in this way. At the premiere, the manufacturer specified 480 kilometres. The 160-kilowatt motor (217 hp) accelerates to 100 in 7.4 seconds. Its consumption is 17.1 kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometres. With this configuration, 19-inch rims can increase the range to 485 kilometres. In urban areas, the range then increases from 674 to 692 kilometres.

The entry-level variant is driven by those who order the 58 series battery with a 125-kilowatt motor (170 hp) that brings the car to 100 kilometres per hour in 8.5 seconds. Its range is 400 kilometres (city: 612); According to the new information, consumption is 16.3 kilowatts per 100 kilometres.

The entry-level version starts at 41,900 euros — this corresponds to 32,220 euros after deducting the subsidy. For this, you get the 800-volt charging system, full-LED equipment, two-zone automatic air conditioning, two 12.25-inch displays, reversing camera and heated front seats including steering wheel as standard. There is also a radio navigation system that is prepared for Apple Car and Android Auto and has six loudspeakers. Hyundai also packs various assistance systems into the standard equipment: These include hill start, high beam and active lane following assistant as well as adaptive cruise control and traffic sign recognition. The motorway assistant (HDA), occupant and attention alarms as well as an autonomous emergency brake assistant plus front collision warning, pedestrian and turn detection are also part of the standard equipment.

The price of the small all-wheel-drive variant (173-kilowatt motor plus 58 battery pack) is 45,700 euros without extras and subsidies. The most powerful production model costs 48,900 euros. The environmental premium would also have to be deducted from this price.
