The Hyundai Ioniq 5 has almost completed a year in India since it was launched at the Auto Expo 2023 in January. It has now been revealed that the electric crossover has surpassed 1,000-unit sales in our market, achieving this milestone in less than five months after reaching the 500-unit mark in July 2023. Here’s a summary of the EV:

Most Expensive Hyundai Vehicle

When the Ioniq 5 was introduced in early 2023, it became both the priciest EV and car from Hyundai available in India. The electric crossover had received over 650 orders in less than two months since bookings were opened in December 2022. 

Despite being the most expensive Hyundai here, local assembly means the Ioniq 5, priced at Rs 45.95 lakh (ex-showroom), offers great value for money. For context, the Kia EV6 RWD, which is the Ioniq 5’s direct competitor and is being imported here, starts at Rs 60.95 lakh (ex-showroom) due to additional taxes on completely built-up units (CBU). 

Electric Powertrain And Charging Details

The India-spec Ioniq 5 comes with a 72.6 kWh battery pack coupled with a single motor producing 217 PS and 350 Nm. It has a rear-wheel drivetrain (RWD) and offers an ARAI-claimed range of 631 km.

Hyundai provides two charging options: a 150 kW charger that can charge it from 0 to 80 percent in 21 minutes and a 50 kW charger that can do the same in an hour.

In terms of safety, the Hyundai EV comes with six airbags, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), a 360-degree camera, and multiple advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

Price And Competition

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is locally assembled and is priced at Rs 45.95 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Its only direct rival is the Kia EV6, while it also competes with the Volvo XC40 Recharge, BMW i4, and the upcoming Skoda Enyaq iV.
