Hyundai just launched the IONIQ 5 midsize CUV during a virtual world premiere event.

The IONIQ 5 is the first model in Hyundai’s new IONIQ brand dedicated to battery electric vehicles (BEV).

IONIQ 5 is built upon Hyundai’s dedicated BEV architecture called Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), enabling it to have unique proportions on an elongated wheelbase.

With E-GMP, IONIQ 5 offers innovative interior design with eco-friendly materials in many touchpoints, strong performance mated with ultra-fast charging and a Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function as well as advanced connectivity and driver assistance.

” IONIQ 5 will accommodate lifestyles without limits, proactively caring for customers’ needs throughout their journey,” said Thomas Schemera, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Marketing Officer.

“A new mobility experience for the next generation—this was the mission from the first day we began this project, to look ahead towards the horizon, but stay fundamentally Hyundai,” said SangYup Lee, Senior Vice President and Head of Hyundai Global Design Center.

The IONIQ 5 will be available in selected regions starting in the first half of 2021.
