Quick Summary

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is an exceptional piece of design and one of the best family electric vehicles available. Despite its hatchback-like appearance, it's actually the size of a family SUV, offering a remarkably spacious and airy cabin with a minimalist dashboard. The 520-litre boot expands to 1,580 litres with the rear seats folded, whilst the flat floor and sliding rear seats provide genuine limo-like legroom. Every model comes equipped with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adaptive cruise control, and autonomous emergency braking. The standard Ioniq 5 delivers a serene, comfortable driving experience with decent performance, whilst the high-performance Ioniq 5 N offers 641bhp and 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds, making it one of the best enthusiast electric cars on sale.

Charging at home costs around £13 for the 63kWh model or £17 for the 84kWh version, with real-world efficiency delivering approximately 3p per mile using off-peak electricity. The 2024 facelift introduced improved efficiency and updated trim levels, with the range now starting at just under £41,000. Whether you choose the practical Advance with a small battery or the thrilling N variant, the Ioniq 5 represents an exceptional package as a family car or performance machine. Its ultra-rapid charging capability, roomy interior, and technology focus make it a truly brilliant choice for modern drivers.
