Live Gallery: Hyundai IONIQ V has 800V E-GMP, 4,9 meters and a Snapdragon chipset

Beijing Hyundai today unveiled its first dedicated IONIQ model for China, the IONIQ V, on behalf of Auto China 2026. Based on the Venus concept showcased a few weeks ago, it will be positioned as the flagship of Hyundai’s “In China, For China” strategy. With an 800V E-GMP platform, 4,9 meters in length, and a Snapdragon 8295 chipset that allows Momenta’s Level 2++, the IONIQ V is a production model derived from the VENUS Concept. It introduces the brand’s latest design language, “The Origin,” characterized by a sleek single-curve silhouette, frameless doors, and floating side mirrors designed to slash air resistance.

Redefining the Premium Intelligent Space

The IONIQ V isn’t just a car; it’s a versatile living space. Designed to balance urban agility with long-distance comfort, it focuses on the key priorities of the modern Chinese driver: space, connectivity, and usability.

A Futuristic Silhouette

The exterior is defined by a smooth, single-curve silhouette that minimizes air resistance. Key design features include:

• Edge Lighting: Creates a sharp, futuristic face that visually widens the vehicle’s stance.
• Frameless Doors & Floating Side Mirrors: Reinforces the high-tech character while optimizing aerodynamics.

Class-Leading Interior Dimensions

With a length of 4,900 mm and a 2,900 mm wheelbase, the IONIQ V offers a cavernous cabin that rivals luxury segments.

• Legroom: 1,078 mm (first row) and 1,019 mm (second row).
• Shoulder Room: Best-in-class width (1,502 mm front / 1,473 mm rear) ensures maximum comfort for all passengers.

Cutting-Edge Infotainment

The cockpit serves as a digital hub, featuring a 27-inch ultra-thin 4K panoramic display. This is paired with a Horizon head-up display (H-HUD), ensuring the driver has essential data directly in their field of vision without distraction. For audiophiles, an eight-speaker system with standard Dolby Atmos support provides an immersive, cinematic soundscape.

Performance and Range

Confidence behind the wheel is a core pillar of the IONIQ V experience. The long-range model secures a driving range of over 600 kilometers (CLTC standard), making it ideal for both daily commutes and cross-province travel.

To ensure a refined ride, Hyundai has implemented:

• Optimized Chassis & Suspension: Tuned specifically for stability across diverse road conditions.
• Enhanced Noise Reduction: Advanced measures to mitigate road and wind noise for a whisper-quiet cabin.

Safety and Smart Technology Integration

Hyundai Motor’s electrification expertise shines through its collaboration with local tech leaders to create a secure, intuitive environment.

Intelligent Driver Assistance

Powered by Momenta, the IONIQ V incorporates advanced driver assistance technologies designed for the complexities of Chinese traffic. A standout feature is the Pedal Misapplication Safety Assist (PMSA), which provides emergency braking to prevent unintended acceleration.

AI-Powered Interaction

The vehicle features a Large Language Model (LLM)-based Smart AI Assistant. Supported by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chipset, this assistant allows for fast, responsive, and natural voice control over vehicle functions.

Comprehensive Safety

The IONIQ V is built on a reinforced body structure featuring a nine-airbag system and multi-layer occupant protection, ensuring 360-degree safety for every passenger.

A New Customer Experience Strategy in China

Hyundai is not just changing the product; it is transforming the entire ownership journey. The goal is a more transparent, customer-centric approach.

• “One Price” Policy: To build trust, Hyundai is implementing a transparent pricing model across all sales channels, simplifying the buying process.
• New Retail Formats: Look for dedicated IONIQ brand spaces within dealerships and standalone hubs in major cities.
• Expanded Infrastructure: A growing network of charging and battery services will ensure that owning an IONIQ V is as convenient as it is exciting.

Innovation Through Local Partnerships

The “Open Innovation” strategy is the engine behind Hyundai’s competitiveness in China. By collaborating with industry leaders, Hyundai ensures its tech remains at the cutting edge of the local ecosystem:

• Battery Technology: Partnering with CATL.
• Autonomous Driving: Partnering with Momenta.

The IONIQ V is more than just a new EV; it is the beginning of a broader transformation for Hyundai Motor in China—defined by deeper localization, accelerated innovation, and a long-term commitment to the world’s most dynamic automotive market.
