The Ioniq 5’s interior leans towards functional minimalism with a pair of wide 12.3-inch digital screens (managing multimedia and instrumentation) dominating the dash. But there’s a sensible mix of physical and digital controls across media, ventilation and other functions.

The Ioniq 5 Standard Range has a driving range of 440km and the Extended Range offers 570 km. On higher models with more equipment and greater performance range will vary from 500 to 530km.

All Hyundai Ioniq 5s feature alloy wheels (19- or 20-inch), LED headlights, auto rain-sensing wipers, leather-appointed seats, dual 12.3-inch screens (multimedia & instruments), six-speaker audio, wireless device charging, power driver’s seat, keyless entry and start, ‘BlueLink’ connected car services, smart cruise control. Higher grades then add a power tailgate, a head-up display, Bose eight-speaker audio, power front passenger seat, a fixed glass panel roof, heated rear seats and more.

The Ioniq 5 is a five-seat SUV featuring leather-appointed trim and a split-folding rear seat for extra flexibility.
