Social media film

To mark the launch of the stunt Hyundai released a short video across YouTube and other social media channels. The digital spot reveals the ‘true’ story of how the IONIQ 5 ended up hanging from the Sony Centre in Berlin, and the role that Spider-Man, Doctor Strange and the MULTIVERSE had in transporting it there.

TV spot & behind-the-scenes video

Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 recently appeared in a Hyundai TV spot ahead of the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home. In the video, Spider-Man is bent on clearing his name and comes out of hiding, only to find his web-slinging no longer works in a single-story world. He hitches a ride to New York with his best friend Ned in an IONIQ 5. The two characters cruise their way through an open country inside the sunlight-reflecting, futuristic-looking midsize CUV, exchanging banter along the way.

Alongside the stunt, Hyundai has also produced a behind-the-scenes video showing how the installation came together.

IONIQ 5: Hyundai’s award-winning all-electric midsize CUV

IONIQ 5 is the first model in Hyundai’s new IONIQ line-up brand. IONIQ 5 is built on the Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), Hyundai Motor Group’s platform dedicated to battery electric vehicles. Customers can select between two battery pack options – 58 kWh or 72.6 kWh – and all-wheel or rear-wheel drive. The rear-wheel drive and 72.6-kWh version features a maximum driving range of 481 kilometres on a single charge, according to WLTP.

IONIQ 5 delivers a powerful performance and ultra-fast charging. Thanks to its 800V charging technology, both battery pack options can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in just 18 minutes at fast-charging stations. Customers can use the Vehicle to Load (V2L) technology to charge any electronic device while driving or parked, such as laptops or e-scooters.

IONIQ 5 has enjoyed a strong response from both consumers and the media. Within 24 hours of its launch in February, Hyundai received a record 236,000 expressions of interest. Meanwhile, in recent months, the fully-electric midsize CUV has received a number of awards; among these, it was recently named German Car of the Year for 2022.
