The Hyundai IONIQ 5, winner of the world car of the year, world electric vehicle of the year, and world car design of the year received a small update in 2023. While almost entirely unchanged from last year, the IONIQ now enjoys an increased range on AWD models and increased towing capacity from the 2022 IONIQ 5. A battery heating system has been added to all models for chilly Spokane Winter and Fall mornings, and an all-new Gravity Gold Matte color option is available.

IONIQ 5’s progressive design represents a departure from past norms, exploring a new design freedom offered by a dedicated BEV platform. IONIQ 5’s design language drew inspiration from Hyundai’s ‘45’ EV concept, which debuted at 2019 International Motor Show Germany. IONIQ 5 captures the character and many details of the concept car.

The IONIQ 5 comes equipped with an extended 118.1-inch wheelbase which is the longest wheelbase in Hyundai’s U.S. product lineup.

Flush automatic door handles provide clean surface styling and enhanced aerodynamics.

Cutting-edge Parametric Pixel LED lighting elements highlight the retro-futuristic and totally unique look of the IONIQ 5.

Large 20-inch aero-optimized wheels echo the Parametric Pixel design theme and complete IONIQ 5’s perfected proportions, optimized for Hyundai’s E-GMP platform.

Customers can choose from seven exterior colors, including six nature-inspired hues exclusive to IONIQ 5. The color choices are Phantom Black (Pearl), Cyber Gray (Metallic), Atlas White (Solid), Digital Teal (Green Pearl), Lucid Blue (Pearl), Shooting Star (Gray Matte), or the all-new Gravity (Gold Matte)

The IONIQ 5’s crossover body style, elongated wheelbase and unique proportions help it offer unrivaled interior comfort and spaciousness. 

Measuring 182.5 inches in overall length, 74.4 inches wide and 63.0-inches tall on a 118.1-inch wheelbase, IONIQ 5 offers large-car-like interior space in a compact SUV.

The interior’s most notable feature is the Universal Island moveable center console that can slide back and forth 5.5 inches. This movement, flat floor and gear selector located behind the steering wheel allow the driver to freely enter and exit the cabin on either side when parked in a narrow spot.

Due to it being an electric vehicle, IONIQ 5 provides a nearly flat floor for maximum passenger and cargo room thanks to the battery pack being mounted beneath the floor.

In fact, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 has more passenger volume (106.5 cu. ft.) when compared with Ford Mustang Mach-E (101.1 cu. ft.) and Volkswagen ID.4 (99.9 cu. ft.). 

IONIQ 5 provides 27.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, which increases up to 59.3 cubic feet when the second-row seats are folded. For added versatility, the second-row seats can slide forward up to 5.3 inches, recline, and fold in a 60:40 ratio.

The interior has three color options: Obsidian Black Monotone, Dark Pebble Gray/Dove Gray, Dark Teal/Dove Gray.

The IONIQ 5 comes equipped with cutting edge technology throughout the cabin to make your driving experience as comfortable and relaxing as possible. 

IONIQ 5 seamlessly integrates advanced technologies for an enhanced digital user experience. The wide, configurable, dual cockpit features a 12-inch, full-touch infotainment screen and hoodless 12- inch digital gauge cluster that can be customized to meet your needs.

For the first time in a Hyundai, IONIQ 5 features a Head-Up Display (HUD) with Augmented Reality (AR) mode, essentially turning the windshield into a display screen. Drivers can choose to use AR technology to project relevant information, such as turn-by-turn navigation, advanced safety and the car’s surroundings nearly 4 feet (44 inches) in front of their line of sight on the road. This allows drivers to process information quickly while keeping their attention on the road ahead.

One of the interior’s most notable features is the Universal Island moveable center console that can slide back and forth 5.5 inches. This movement, flat floor and gear selector located behind the steering wheel allow the driver to freely enter and exit the cabin on either side when parked in a narrow spot.

First- and second-row passengers can enjoy the island’s cup holders, 15-watt wireless phone charger and USB ports. This console is big enough to hold a large handbag.

The IONIQ 5 comes well equipped with the next level of Hyundai SmartSense, advanced driver assistance systems, ensuring the highest levels of safety and convenience on the road. Standard safety features include:

• Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA 2) - Is a driving convenience system that assists drivers in maintaining the center of the lane and at an appropriate speed while keeping a safe distance from the car in front.
• Smart Cruise Control with Machine Learning - Makes highway and long-distance driving more comfortable. Using a radar sensor mounted on the front grille, the SCC system maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead in varied traffic conditions by automatically adjusting vehicle speed as needed.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) - Uses the car’s front-facing camera to help detect an imminent collision with a vehicle or pedestrian and avoid impact or minimize damage by braking automatically.
  Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA) - Helps detect vehicles in the driver’s blind spot while the turn signal is on and may apply braking to minimize the potential for a collision.
• Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA) - Automatically adjusts vehicle speed to match the speed limit.
• Driver Attention Warning (DAW) - Monitors driving behavior to help detect possible driver fatigue.
• High Beam Assist (HBA) - Eliminates the need for drivers to manually switch high beams on and off at night for oncoming traffic.
• Safe Exit Assist (SEA) - May sound an alert when a vehicle approaches from behind, letting passengers know it may not be safe to open the door to exit the vehicle.
• Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA) - Allows the driver to remotely park or exit a parking spot from outside the vehicle. This feature works for both parallel and perpendicular parking and can be activated via a button on the vehicle’s smart key.
• Surround View Monitor (SVM) - Uses an array of strategically located cameras to give the driver a 360-degree view of the area surrounding the vehicle, making it easier to park in tight spaces.
• Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist Reverse (PCA-R) - Helps detect pedestrians and obstacles with a rearview camera and ultrasonic sensors. The system can provide warnings and apply emergency braking to assist in the avoidance of a collision.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) - Helps detect rear cross-traffic vehicles while reversing and may apply braking to minimize the potential for a collision.
