Hyundai Motor Launches 2027 IONIQ 5 in Korea with Price Cuts

Hyundai Motor Company has officially announced the release of the 2027 IONIQ 5. Featuring a completely restructured trim configuration designed to maximize value and affordability, the updated flagship electric vehicle (EV) goes on sale starting Tuesday, June 9.

To provide customers with more tailored options and better value, Hyundai has streamlined its lineup. The Long Range model has been reorganized into five distinct trims, while the Standard model has been consolidated into a single, high-value option.

Streamlined Trim Lineup and Substantial Price Reductions

The updated 2027 model year focuses heavily on optimizing features to pass savings directly on to consumers. By refining and restructuring standard specifications, Hyundai has successfully lowered the barrier to entry for its award-winning electric crossover.

• Standard Model: Consolidated into a single, value-packed E-Value+ trim.

• Long Range Model: Available in five tiers—E-Lite, Modern, Premium, Inspiration, and the sporty N Line.

• Modern Trim (formerly Exclusive): Optimized features with a direct price reduction of 1.6 million KRW.

• Premium Trim (formerly Prestige): Feature enhancements paired with a price cut of 900,000 KRW.

Introducing the Premium 'Inspiration' Trim and Enhanced Standard Features

The 2027 IONIQ 5 introduces the Inspiration trim as its new top-tier luxury offering. This trim comes standard with premium safety and convenience packages that were previously optional. Key inclusions feature:

• Parking Assist Suite: Surround View Monitor, Forward/Side/Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Remote Smart Parking Assist 2.

• Comfort Plus Package: Power front passenger seat (with leg rest and relaxation comfort matrix), all-seat memory system, and second-row power sliding seats.

Additionally, product competitiveness has been amplified across the entire board. Every single trim of the 2027 IONIQ 5 now includes a tailgate emergency lamp for enhanced safety, while the Premium trim and above receive high-output 100W USB Type-C charging ports as standard equipment.
