Remarkably, the interior of the Ioniq 5 nearly upstages the exterior. Naturally, the 20-inch wheels pictured here also help the design to come to life. It's unique, it's as simple as that, though we would suggest that the whole design comes together better when a bright metallic paint colour is chosen.
Those lights are complemented by extravagant surfacing on the sides, a wide clamshell bonnet, lots of contrasting strakes and other details to break up the bodywork and unusual lines in the wheelarches. Other than the vaguely retro side profile, the rectangular LED lights at both ends define it, giving it a distinctive appearance day or night. Not everyone will appreciate the daring style, but it's brimming with interesting details. The striking design of the Ioniq 5 is as much a talking point as its size, as it looks more like a concept car for a motor show than it does a showroom-ready vehicle. In fact, while it's referred to as a crossover, in reality it's just an upscaled hatchback with a little more ground clearance than usual. The Ioniq 5 is much lower than either of those, though, so it doesn't look at all like an SUV. The Ioniq 5 is actually a good deal longer and wider than the Hyundai Tucson, while its three-metre wheelbase is a significant 235mm longer than that of the Hyundai Santa Fe. In pictures, the five-door design suggests that it's about the same size as a Hyundai i30 or Volkswagen Golf, but it's much larger than that. Until you see the Ioniq 5 in the metal, and for that matter next to a car you're familiar with, it's difficult to comprehend how big it is. Of course, all anyone wants to talk about is the new car's striking design. Hyundai is openly targeting the Volkswagen ID.4, the best-selling electric car on the Irish market right now, with a wide range of Ioniq 5 models to choose from. This larger-than-it-looks crossover features high-voltage battery technology to allow super-fast charging and is built on a new dedicated EV platform. The Hyundai Kona Electric moved the EV game on in Ireland, and it would appear that the Korean company is about to do it all again with the first of a new generation of electric cars, the Ioniq 5.
