Hyundai Ioniq 5 review, road test

After winning several international awards and accolades post its global debut in 2021, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 has finally gone on sale in India. Being locally assembled, this all-electric offering wears an aggressive introductory price tag of Rs 44.95 lakh (ex-showroom), making it considerably cheaper than the fully-imported Kia EV6, which is built on the same platform. 

Globally, the Ioniq 5 is available with either all-wheel drive (dual motor set-up) or rear-wheel drive (single motor set-up) and is offered with either 58kWh or 72.6kWh battery. For India, the Ioniq 5 comes with the larger 72.6kWh battery and as rear-wheel drive only.
