Hyundai has unveiled its long-awaited electric car, the Ioniq 5, which is very similar to the Hyundai 45, which it has introduced as a concept design in recent years. The Ioniq 5, which has 4 different engines and traction systems, is expected to go on sale in the coming months.
Korean car giant Hyundai has unveiled its long-awaited but new electric model, the Ioniq 5. At the launch in a digital way, Ioniq 5’s new architecture and features built on the EGM-P platform were announced.
With a driving range of 480 kilometers, the Ioniq 5 comes with 2 different battery options, and Hyundai is expected to launch its new model in the middle of this year. The car giant has yet to announce the sale price of the Ioniq 5, which has remarkable technological features.
The new Hyundai Ioniq 5 bears a great deal of resemblance to the concept car 45 EV
In 2019, Hyundai introduced the Hyundai 45 EV, a concept vehicle equipped with metallic details, which managed to attract the attention of car lovers. Since the 45 EV is completely a concept car, no one expected the design and hardware to be preserved as it is and turned into a real model, but Hyundai made a surprise move and introduced the Ioniq 5, which is very similar to the Hyundai 45.
The new Ioniq 5 promises a lot of features, both hardware, and comfort. The design of the Ioniq 5, which has successful lines in aerodynamics, is supported by futuristic details, resulting in an extremely modern and stylish car. In fact, the new Ioniq 5 is very similar to the ID 4, Volkswagen’s electric car and even the dimensions of the two models are extremely close to each other.
The Ioniq 5 has a total of 4 different traction systems, 2 rear-wheel drives, and 2 four-wheel drives. All engines in these options produce a torque-speed of 350 Nm and receive their energy from batteries with a power of 58 to 73 kWh.
Rear-wheel drive engines include 125 and 165 kW engines. The 125 kW engine goes from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 7.4 seconds, while the 165 kW engine completes this time in 8.5 seconds. 4-wheel drive systems have two different electric motors, front and rear, and the 120 kW motor, 0 to 100 kilometers in 6.1 seconds, while the 155 kW motor goes to this speed in 5.2 seconds.
70% charge is achieved in just 18 minutes
Hyundai, which is also extremely ambitious about charging, offers two different charging outputs, 400 and 800 volts, to the taste of drivers. At charging stations that offer 350 kW power support, it takes just 18 minutes to increase the charge rate from 10% to 80%.
As mentioned earlier, the Ioniq 5 attracts attention not only with its engines but also with its technological equipment. For example, a solar panel called Vision Roof, which is sold as an optional but extremely environmental option, is placed on the ceiling of the Ioniq 5, allowing for an increased driving range.
Ioniq 5 also has many safety measures such as the HDA 2 Driving Assistant, Lane tracking system, adaptive cruise control, and also offers the driver a multimedia system with Bluelink support.
