Hyundai Ioniq 5 facelift model available to order

The list price of the Ioniq 5 with the small battery and 125 kW rear engine has thus not really changed compared to the previous version – but previously, it was only available with a 58 kWh battery. With the facelift, a 63 kWh battery will be installed in the base Ioniq 5. With the five additional kilowatt-hours in the underbody, the WLTP range increases to 440 kilometres.

As reported, Hyundai is replacing the previous 77.4 kWh battery in the facelift with the 84.0 kWh battery, which celebrated its premiere in the Ioniq 5 N. In combination with the still 168 kW motor, this will enable a WLTP range of up to 570 kilometres in future; previously, a maximum of 507 kilometres was possible.

Hyundai Germany does not provide any information on the DC charging power of the revised Ioniq 5 in the press release. However, the Ioniq 5 N with the 84 kWh battery charges at a peak of 240 kW, just like the previous Ioniq 5. As the charging curve has also been slightly adjusted, the 18 minutes from ten to 80 per cent charge level known for models based on the E-GMP remains the same. But: Hyundai UK lists 260 kW DC charging power in its price list – even for the small battery. However, the 18 minutes charging time in the UK price list applies to the charge from ten to 100 per cent, not the usual 80 per cent.

The rear-wheel drive variant with a large battery will only cost an additional 3,500 pounds in the UK (£43,400). The 239 kW all-wheel drive vehicle with the large battery starts at a list price of £50,845.00. However, this drive is at least combined with the ‘N-Line’ equipment.

Speaking of equipment, Hyundai has slightly adjusted the layout of the individual variants. The ‘N-Line’ variant has been inserted between the ‘Premium’ equipment and the previous top-of-the-range ‘Ultimate.’ Above the latter, there is now also the new, sporty top-of-the-range ‘N-Line S’ equipment for the two drive versions with the large battery – for £52,345 with rear-wheel drive or £55,845 with the all-wheel drive.

Hyundai presented the facelift of the E-GMP model in March and initially launched it in South Korea. The revised Ioniq 5 is now also available in Germany with slight changes to the exterior and interior (as well as to the technology as described above).
