The Hyundai IONIQ 5 SUV impresses with 650 HP 570 km and an attractive starting price of 38500 £ . Here are all the details at a glance.
The IONIQ 5 arrives with a retro-futuristic look that still feels modern rather than gimmicky, its crisp lines and pixel-style lights giving it a distinct profile on the road. Its proportions — roughly 4.65–4.72 m long and up to 1.94 m wide depending on the version — give it a planted, SUV-like stance without feeling bulky. The short overhangs and long wheelbase translate to a coupe-like silhouette that reads as premium but practical at the same time.
The cabin is deliberately minimalist, with a soft, lounge-like ambience and materials that punch above the price point in higher trims; surfaces are clean, controls intuitive and visibility is good from all seats. A sliding centre console creates a roomy feeling up front and doubles as useful storage or a work surface, while supportive seats make longer drives more comfortable. Physical switchgear remains where it should, balancing touchscreen convenience with everyday usability.
The IONIQ 5 seats five with a flat-ish floor and surprisingly generous rear legroom thanks to its long wheelbase, making it easy to carry adults in the back. Boot volume is practical at around 480–520 litres with seats up and expands to over 1,540–1,580 litres with the rear seats folded, so weekly shopping and weekend luggage are handled without drama. Payloads and curb weights vary by spec, but the sense is of a family-capable electric SUV rather than a compact city car.
Driving manners are calm and confidence-inspiring, with rear-wheel-drive versions offering a balanced, composed feel and the all-wheel-drive setups adding brisker acceleration for more decisive overtakes. Power ranges from around 170 hp to 325 hp in mainstream trims, with 0–100 km/h times spanning roughly 8.5 s down to about 5.3 s; the N model pushes performance much further. The low centre of gravity and well-weighted steering mean the IONIQ 5 is more engaging than typical crossovers, although heavier curb weights around 1,955–2,275 kg are noticeable on tight country roads.
Battery options of 63 kWh and 84 kWh give realistic ranges from roughly 440 km up to around 570 km WLTP depending on motor and spec, and consumption numbers generally sit in the mid-teens kWh/100 km in normal driving. Expect urban commuting to stretch the range further, while spirited driving and AWD versions will trim it back — figures like 15.6–18.1 kWh/100 km are typical across the line-up. The car’s 800‑volt architecture supports very fast DC charging at high‑power sites, meaning practical top-ups on long trips rather than extended stops.
Standard safety kit is comprehensive, with adaptive cruise, lane keeping and semi-autonomous highway aids that work well in steady traffic and help reduce driver fatigue on long runs. The cockpit pairs clear digital displays with smartphone integration and over-the-air updates to keep software current, while higher trims add premium audio and extra camera-based parking aids. The interface is modern and responsive enough for everyday use without getting in the way of driving.
The IONIQ 5 suits buyers wanting a stylish, roomy EV that balances comfort, usable range and modern tech without leaning purely on performance gimmicks — families, commuters and those moving from ICE to electric will find it an appealing all-rounder. Tech enthusiasts and people who regularly use high-power charging networks will appreciate the rapid charging capability and long-range battery option. For those after outright pace and a racier edge, the IONIQ 5 N delivers high performance but the mainstream versions hit the sweet spot for most buyers.
