CAR magazine UK drives a prototype of the new Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric car, with pictures, specs and first impressions
► CAR drives Hyundai's Ioniq 5This isn't a concept car, this is the production version of the Hyundai Ioniq 5. It's the first of car in a new Ioniq sub-brand for Hyundai and boy, oh boy, is it a fantastic start. But is it worth buying? Keep reading for our full review on one of the best-looking EVs – or cars for that matter – for sale right now.
But Hyundai hasn't gone overtly techy in the 5's interior design like Mercedes, or ultra-minimalist like a Tesla Model 3 – there's a balance between large, useful screens, touch panels and physical switchgear and solid materials on all your regular touch points. The shift stalk, for example, is on the steering column, with a chunky twist action and the door inlays – complete with eco-friendly paper inserts – all feel solid with a tactile thunk when you pull the door handles.
There are three trims: SE Connect starting from £36,995, Premium clocking from £39,295 and Ultimate available from £42,295. When the Ioniq 5 was first available to order, there was also a Project 45 first edition that featured a solar panel roof, too, but that's since sold out.Walk on up to it and flush doorhandles pop out, ready for the drive ahead.
