The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a brilliant all-rounder and great daily driver
proves that legacy automakers should now be taken seriously in the electric vehicle space.
Both variants feature an advanced 800-volt electrical architecture just like the Porsche Taycan and both share a 72.6 kWh liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack. The rear-wheel drive model has a claimed range of 451 km while the dual-motor version can travel a claimed 430 km on a single charge. The impression the Ioniq 5 makes on the road is undeniable. In fact, it turned more heads than pretty much any other car I’ve ever driven. If Hyundai wanted to make a statement with its design, it’s clearly done just that.The interior is just as intriguing as the exterior. Unlike the outgoing Ioniq hybrid, plug-in hybrid and EVs models, the cabin of the Ioniq 5 is unlike anything else in the Hyundai range. However, that’s not to say there is a big learning curve when jumping inside.
For one, Hyundai has equipped the car with a column-mounted shifter. You twist it clockwise to engage Drive, twist it anti-clockwise to switch into Reverse, and press a button to go into Park. It neatens up the cabin and also allowed Hyundai to fit its unique floating center console that can slide back and forth and makes great use of the car’s flat floor.One of the key advantages of the Ioniq 5’s long wheelbase is just how much interior space it offers.
Hyundai claims that the all-wheel drive variant needs 5.2 seconds to hit 62 mph and we were able to match that. There is absolutely no loss of traction when you stamp on the throttle, even if the road is wet and the car continues to pull with vigor well beyond 120 km/h .was the braking system. Both 2WD and AWD models feature ventilated 345 mm x 30 mm front and 345 mm x 20 mm rear brake discs and calipers that clamp down on them firmly and with great consistency.
