And plenty more are on the way. It\u2019s all part of the automaker\u2019s vision to become carbon neutral by 2040.

While looks aren\u2019t everything, it\u2019s hard to talk about this electric SUV without mentioning its gorgeous styling. The Ioniq 5 isn\u2019t just sleek, elegant, and sophisticated. It looks like a vehicle from the future, and wouldn\u2019t look out of place on a different planet. You can expect to see more of it too, because this car will define Hyundai\u2019s design language for future \u201cIoniq\u201d models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step inside, and you\u2019ll find that the interior is also a sight to behold. Every Ioniq 5 includes a stunning 12.3-inch display, which feels unexpectedly luxurious for a mainstream vehicle. You can also connect your compatible smartphone using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, which makes it easy to access music and directions. If you\u2019re lucky enough to drive an SEL model, you can enjoy a Premium Heads-up Display that resembles a video game user interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

True to its name, the Ioniq 5 seats up to five with plenty of room for everyone\u2019s belongings. And with an interior this comfy, passengers might enjoy this electric SUV even more than its driver. There\u2019s so much space, even the rear seats are reclinable. Step up to the Ioniq 5 Limited to enjoy a panoramic sunroof, which can give everyone onboard a new perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wondering how far can the Ioniq 5 take you? First-generation electric vehicles had their limitations, but Joe\u2019s 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is closing the gap on gas-powered cars. In fact, it\u2019s good for up to 303 miles on a full charge, more than enough to get you from charging station to charging station. And when it\u2019s plugged into an 800V ultra-fast charger, you can get 68 miles of range in as little as five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this electric SUV is innovative and practical, it\u2019s also thrilling in its own right. Models equipped with AWD produce 320 horsepower and 446 pounds of torque, which makes for a zero to 60 time of just 5.2 seconds. For those keeping score, that\u2019s faster than some of the most popular sports cars manufactured today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The numbers are great, but they don\u2019t tell the whole story. So we asked Joe to share a few thoughts. According to him, \u201cthe Ioniq 5 feels futuristic. It emits a slight hum while driving, reminiscent of sci-fi movies. It handles exceptionally well and the acceleration in sport mode is quite impressive.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With great power comes great responsibility, which is why the Ioniq 5 is equipped with so many safety features. All models come standard with Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Parking Distance Warning when reversing. And that\u2019s just the tip of the spec sheet. The Limited model can give you a better view of your surroundings with a Surround View Monitor and Blind-Spot View Monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how does the Hyundai Ioniq 5 fare against its direct competition, like the Tesla Model Y? This car and the Model Y Performance are both rated at 303 miles of range. The Model Y Long Range AWD is rated at 330 miles, which gives it a slight edge. And when it comes to performance, the Tesla<\/a> is faster from zero to 60. So while it doesn\u2019t win in every metric, you can\u2019t deny that the Ioniq 5 is a great value. Especially compared to its competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
