Hyundai IONIQ 5 electric car unveiled, travels up to 430 km on a single charge
South Korean auto giant Hyundai Motor on Tuesday unveiled the IONIQ 5, the first model embedded with its own electric vehicle (EV) platform, as it strives to morph into a future mobility solutions provider.
The IONIQ 5 midsize crossover utility vehicle is the first model equipped with Hyundai Motor Group’s own EV-only electric-global modular platform (E-GMP), Hyundai said in a statement.
Hyundai said that it will launch the IONIQ 5 in Europe next month, in Korea in the second quarter and in the US and other markets later this year.
“The production of the IONIQ 5 begins in Hyundai’s Ulsan plant next month. The company aims to sell 70,000 units globally this year, including 26,500 units in domestic market, and 100,000 units next year,” Hyundai Motor President and Chief Executive Chang Jae-hoon said in an online press conference.
The all-electric car is priced at 50 million won to 55 million won ($45,000-$49,500). With government subsidies, it can be purchased for around 40 million won.
Among other features, the E-GMP’s flat battery and long wheelbase allow for a more spacious and customisable interior for passengers and cargo, unlike crossovers with internal combustion engines and conventional steer-by-wire systems, the CEO said.
