The Hyundai Ioniq 5 looks like nothing else on the road, but can its driving experience, range, interior space and technology live up to the promise of that wild styling? After extensive tests of a UK-spec Ioniq 5 on UK roads, Vicky Parrott certainly thinks so. In this CarGurus UK review, she explains why that is.
There are two battery options to choose from with the Ioniq 5: 58kWh or 73kWh. These offer a range of between 240 and 300 miles respectively. When it does come to charging on the go, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is one of the best on the market. It charges at up to 220kW, so if you plug into one of the fairly rare 350kW ultra-rapid chargers you’ll get an 80% charge in around 18 minutes, or a 100-mile top-up will take as little as five minutes.
The Ioniq 5 is also one of the first electric vehicles that has the ability to be used as a charging point, itself. Add the optional Vehicle to Load feature and you get a converter that plugs into the Ioniq 5’s Type 2 socket and allows you to charge another electric vehicle from its high-voltage battery. It’s only a slow charge of 3.6kW – maybe around 14 miles of range per hour added to the car you’re charging – but it’s still clever stuff.
