Quick Summary

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is an exceptional electric family SUV that combines striking future-retro styling with remarkable practicality. Despite appearing hatchback-sized in photos, it's actually 4.7 metres long with the interior space of a large family SUV. The 2024 facelift introduced improved efficiency and updated trim levels, with battery options of 63kWh or 84kWh delivering ranges up to 320 miles. Standard equipment across all models includes adaptive cruise control, a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay, and comprehensive safety features. The minimalist, airy cabin features twin 12.3-inch screens and genuinely limo-like rear legroom, whilst the 520-litre boot expands to 1,580 litres with seats folded.

The standard Ioniq 5 offers serene, composed driving with light steering and settled ride comfort, making it ideal for families and long-distance travel. Performance is more than adequate, with 0-62mph times ranging from 7.5 to 8.5 seconds depending on battery size. For those seeking genuine thrills, the Ioniq 5 N is a game-changer—a 641bhp performance machine with fully variable all-wheel drive that rivals the BMW M3 and Mercedes-AMG C63 for excitement. Running costs are competitive, with home charging costing around 3p per mile on off-peak electricity. The Ioniq 5 represents outstanding value as a family EV, combining ultra-rapid charging, spacious practicality, and impressive technology at a reasonable price point.
