Introduction
What Car? says...
If you've only seen the Hyundai Ioniq 5 in photographs, you might assume that it's a family hatchback, but that's where looks can be deceiving – it's actually a really big electric SUV.
Indeed, at 4.6 metres long and 1.6 metres tall, the Ioniq 5 is almost as big as an Audi Q5. In fact, the three-metre distance between the front and rear axles is the same as you’ll find in the A8 limo, and gives passengers a remarkable amount of space.
FAQs
The Ioniq 5 was too new to be included in the 2022 What Car? Reliability Survey but the signs are encouraging, because Hyundai finished joint fifth out of 32 manufacturers in the brand table. The Ioniq 5 comes with a five-year unlimited mileage warranty, plus its battery is covered for eight years.
Two battery options are available, with the smallest giving the Ioniq 5 an official range of 238 miles and the largest taking the total up to 315 miles.
The RWD 228 model strikes the best balance between range, performance and affordability. We’d recommend pairing it with mid-rung Premium trim, which comes with plenty of kit.

Infotainment functions are mostly controlled through a touchscreen, and some of the icons on it are a little small and hard to hit on the move. The screen itself responds quickly, and there are some proper shortcut buttons to make it easier to move between menus. Read more here
The Ioniq 5 has a 527-litre boot capacity, which allows it to take seven carry-on suitcases. There’s also space for the charging cables below the boot floor, and another luggage area under the bonnet (although that’s very small on four-wheel-drive versions). Read more here
