We asked through the online chat and the assistan told us that 73kWh model will have up to 550km according to WLTP homologation but we don’t know if will arrive later as the 1st Edition is only available with the 58kWh battery pack. Also the Ioniq 5 First Edition will come with Solar roof, a system that we already have seen in the Sonata Hybrid.
In addition, the same 800V charging system as the Porsche Taycan was introduced. The battery can be charged up to 80% within 18 minutes when using Ionity, a 350kW super-fast charger exclusively for several company’s like Hyundai. Hyundai Motor Group’s patented multi-fast charging system (400V voltage boosted to 800V) was also installed.
The total length of the IONIC 5 is 4630mm and the wheelbase is 3000mm. Camera-based side mirrors will be available as an option. What do you think about the Ioniq 5? Would you buy one?
The Ioniq 5 AWD LIMITED is a huge step forwards. After a test drive in drizzle on a motorway and returning to town, visibility out the rear screen was next to hopeless. The directed wind flow does not clear the screen. Water drops were covering visibility from the top 25% to the lower edge. This needs fixing, one solution the obvious retrofit of a washer wiper. Cars produced already need a factory retrofit.
If we had not driven in the weather we did we would have no idea this could happen, particularly after reading the rear wiper was not necessary. Sorry, it definitely is. We have ordered and await arrival of our Ioniq 5 AWD LIMITED. Hopefully this issue is fixed quickly. It is a safety issue, plain and simple.
