Hyundai Ioniq 5: Decoding the Price Points of a Game-Changing EV

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a mid-sized electric crossover vehicle, first unveiled on February 23, 2021. With a skillful combination of top-notch performance and a host of smart features, this compact electric SUV will be a real player that will drive you further and further thanks to its 507 km range and ultra-fast charging technology.

The Ioniq 5 was developed under project code NE as the first car on the E-GMP platform. The special platform for electric vehicles allows for a completely flat interior floor and a 3-meter wheelbase. The flat floor allowed Hyundai engineers to develop a retractable front center console, dubbed "Universal Island," that can slide back 140 mm (5.5 inches). The vehicle has a cargo volume of 531 liters (18.8 cubic feet) behind the rear seats, which can be increased to nearly 1,600 liters (56.5 cubic feet) with the second-row seats folded down. Increased rear legroom has been achieved by making the front seats about 30 percent thinner than conventional seats.
