Hyundai Ioniq 5 debuts today: Watch the livestream world premiere here!
The IONIQ 5 world premiere livestream will start on 23/2/21 at 6:00PM AEST, 8:00AM CEST and on 22/2/21 at 11:00PM PT
We’ve covered Hyunidai’s IONIQ 5 rather frequently, as this new electric vehicle based on the E-GMP platform is set to be an important vehicle for the South Korean automaker.
The IONIQ 5 is expected to feature a 450 kilometre (280 mile) WLTP rated range from a 58kW hour battery, with an option for a 73kWh battery with a 550 kilometre (340 mile) range. With two motors, the all-wheel drive setup should scoot the IONIQ 5 to 100km/h (62mph) in 5.2 seconds courtesy of 230kW (313 PS) between the wheels.
Twitter has already allegedly sprung the final exterior design on the IONIQ 5, with users @macheauto and @seb68 sharing what look to be a number of press images in the below thread:
Final prototypes have been spotted out gathering data in Australian cities over the last couple of months, and it’s expected that Australia will be an important market for Hyundai’s new IONIQ brand, as well as for its new Kona Electric which is set to launch in March 2021.
Hyundai is promising ideal weight distribution, a modular flexible interior and V2X functionality, with the ability to power computers, tools or camping equipment from build in power outlets.
We’re genuinely big fans of the IONIQ 5’s sharp design, and if the Kona Electric is anything to go by, Hyundai will continue to improve its EV offerings with the IONIQ 5 by increasing battery range, refinement, energy efficiency and luxury.
