Hyundai ioniq 5 is powered with 2.6kWh battery pack and have driving range of 631 KM

Hyundai Motor India debuted the much-anticipated Hyundai Ioniq 5 at the Auto Expo 2023, and the South Korean carmaker has already garnered over 650 bookings in India for its flagship model.

That being said, deliveries of the new Hyundai Ioniq 5 are expected to begin next month, with the first 500 clients receiving the vehicle for a special introductory price of Rs 44.95 lakh (ex-showroom, India).

Bookings for the Hyundai Ioniq 5 are currently available, and interested consumers can reserve the EV online or at a Hyundai dealership for Rs 1 lakh. However, the South Korean automaker has yet to publish the Ioniq 5’s new price in India.

In terms of the Hyundai Ioniq 5, it is constructed on the same Electric-Global Modular Platform (e-GMP) as the Kia EV6. Unlike the totally imported Kia EV6, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is built entirely in India. This is one of the reasons behind the significant price disparity between different EVs.

Hyundai ioniq 5 powertrain and charging

The Hyundai Ionq 5’s engine has a 72.6kWh battery pack and an electric motor capable of delivering 215bhp peak power and 350Nm peak torque. According to ARAI, a completely charged battery pack allows the Hyundai Ioniq 5 to go 631 kilometres.

It’s also worth noting that the Hyundai Ioniq 5 can charge at 80V. As a result, the South Korean EV can charge its battery from 10% to 80% capacity in just 18 minutes. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 also includes ADAS and a vehicle-to-load function with a 3.6kW output.

Hyundai intended to receive roughly 250 orders for the Ioniq 5 in India, but with over 650 bookings, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 appears to have far exceeded the South Korean automaker’s expectations. We also anticipate that sales of the Ioniq 5 will remain consistent in the coming months.
