2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5 – Specs And Features Revealed

written by

Late last month Hyundai revealed the U.S. specs on the 2022 IONIQ 5 that will be available this fall, with a larger rollout coming in 2022. While closely related to the Kia EV6, they are very different crossover EV’s.

Hyundai is going with one battery (77.4kWh) for all its models and offering RWD or AWD across its line-up. Kia went down a different path and offers a smaller 58kWh battery pack on its base model and a GT variant that gets 577 hp / 546 lb-ft of torque and a 0-100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) time of 3.5 seconds!

Hyundai points out that the IONIQ 5 has more passenger volume (106.5 cu-ft), than both the Mach-E (101.1) and Volkswagen ID.4 (99.9).
