Customers purchasing the updated Hyundai IONIQ 5 with the 2023 model year will now be able to go even further on a single charge. Thanks to its new 77.4-kWh battery, the 2WD version of the company’s award-winning fully-electric midsize CUV with 19-inch alloy rims will offer an all-electric range of up to 507 kilometres.
In addition to the enhanced range, the design, charging and technology features of IONIQ 5 that have proven popular with journalists and Hyundai customers since its launch will also receive upgrades to further enhance the driving experience. In terms of design, the updated 2023 model version will feature new combination options, including non-painted black bumpers with black garnishes in combination with Projection LED lighting.
A battery conditioning feature will enable IONIQ 5 to automatically adapt the temperature of the new 77.4-kWh battery while travelling, to ensure optimal charging conditions when reaching the charging point. Guaranteeing improved real-life charging performance in cold ambient conditions, this function activates automatically when a charging point is entered into the vehicle’s navigation system using connected routing.
With this update, high-tech Digital Side Mirrors (DSM) will now be available in Europe for the first time in a Hyundai Motor Group vehicle and will provide IONIQ 5 customers with a clear rear view, even in bad weather.
Adding to this technological advancement, the updated IONIQ 5 will also be equipped with video-based Digital Centre Mirror (DCM) that optimises visibility by providing an unobstructed, panoramic rear-facing view of the car. The DCM camera is installed below IONIQ 5’s rear spoiler.
Meanwhile, the updated IONIQ 5’s new Smart Frequency Dampers (SFD) function improves the response of front- and rear-axle suspensions to increase comfort while maintaining handling performance and sound quality. SFD is able to adjust and separate damping forces depending on the frequency of inputs from the road. For high frequency inputs, the damping forces can be significantly lowered, ensuring a smoother ride. For lower frequencies, the damping forces are maintained at a constant rate, improving handling and body control.
Since its introduction in 2021, IONIQ 5 has won many admirers thanks to its Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), progressive design, and ability to rapid recharge from 10 to 80 per cent in just 18 minutes. It is also equipped with Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology, which can charge or power any electrical equipment, as well as electrically-adjustable reclining front seats that offer a feeling of weightlessness and support for the lower legs. V2L allows bidirectional charging and it is planned that the bidirectional on-board charger that enables this function will also support Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) in the future.
As a result of these ground-breaking innovations, IONIQ 5 received a string of prestigious awards. Since the model’s launch one year ago, it has also won ten Car of the Year awards in Europe and was recently honoured by World Car Awards in all three categories in which it was nominated: World Car of the Year, World Electric Vehicle of the Year and World Car Design of the Year.
IONIQ 5 also took first place in German automotive magazine Auto Zeitung’s 5,000-point comparison test, beating off the Kia EV6, Mercedes EQB, Polestar 2 and Tesla Model Y to take top spot, as well as being named Company Car of the Year in the 2022 Company Car Today CCT 100 Awards and selected as a winner in the transportation category at the 2021 GOOD DESIGN Awards.
The updated IONIQ 5 with the 2023 model year will be available to customers in Europe in the second half of 2022.
