Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has today officially announced that the Ioniq 5 electric vehicle will be launched in India later this calendar year as part of the group’s plans to introduce multiple EVs in India by 2028. It will enter showrooms following the market debut of its sibling, the Kia EV6 crossover, whose pre-bookings are scheduled to begin on May 26.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 sits on the dedicated E-GMP platform which will give rise to a range of future EVs in the coming years due to its modular nature and it will be offered in limited numbers upon arrival. It is the production version of the 45 EV concept showcased at the show taking inspiration from the design of the 70s aircraft and it pays homage to the Hyundai Pony Coupe concept with distinctive retro elements all around.
Some of the key exterior features of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 are a pixelated U-shaped dual LED lighting system, a swooping bonnet structure, a set of 20-inch wheels, pop-out door handles, rectangular-shaped LED tail lamp signature, charging ports on either side for convenience, integrated spoiler, shark fin antenna, a clean side profile with an elegant character line running through the doors, retro-themed bumpers, raked rear glass area, etc.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 has a distinctive appeal compared to the latest models from the brand based on the Sensuous Sportiness philosophy. The cabin has an upmarket and futuristic stance thanks to the use of fewer physical buttons and a unique moving centre console. The features list comes with a HUD with augmented reality, a twin-screen configuration (each 12 inches), BlueLink connectivity, assistive tech, recycled bottles for seats and usage of other eco-friendly materials.
Using 800 V technology, the EV can replenish back to 80 per cent from 10 per cent in just 18 minutes via a 220 kW DC charger.
