Overall Observations
Unlike previous vehicles with the Ioniq moniker, the Ioniq 5 is the
Hyundai sub-brand’s first dedicated EV. New for 2022, it’s a tall
hatchback with a sufficiently roomy cabin for all passengers and
cargo.
The 5 comes with either 1 motor and a 58-kWh battery pack or 1
or 2 motors and a 77.4-kWh battery pack. Our top-trim dual-motor
Limited tester delivered quick, responsive, smooth acceleration,
plus a decent EV range (an estimated 256 miles) and strong fuel
efficiency numbers (98 MPGe in combined driving).
Even the base trim level is well-equipped, with 19-inch alloy
wheels, LED headlights, adjustable regenerative braking, a nav
system, and a heated, power-adjustable driver’s seat. One especially
cool feature is the 5’s 800-volt architecture, which is twice as
powerful as most EVs’ 400-volt systems; it enables the battery
pack to be replenished from 10% to 80% in about 18 minutes. A
comprehensive set of advanced safety features is standard as well.
Unfortunately, the Ioniq 5 isn’t much fun to drive, with a floaty
ride and lots of body roll in turns. The interior styling is bland, and
an overabundance of hard plastics gives the cabin a cheap feel.
Visibility to the rear is poor, and the steering-wheel controls for
the infotainment system are needlessly complex, requiring a steep
learning curve.One welcome perk: Owners receive free unlimited 30-minute
charging sessions for 2 years on Electrify America’s network of
chargers.
