motorweek is made possible by lucas oil and tirerac.com over the years we've seen hyundai convert some of their traditional vehicles into hybrids and electrics like the kona in tucson but they brought us out to beautiful san diego to see their first model built exclusively as an all-electric the 2022 ioniq 5. that's ionic spelled with an iq at the end and that makes sense as this electric sport utility is smart boasting a modern design a suite of technology and safety features and an impressive pair of powertrains the ionic 5 is the first vehicle to be built on hyundai's new e-gmp platform both the rear and all-wheel drive models utilize a 77.4 kilowatt hour battery the rear-wheel drive draws enough power to generate 225 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque with an epa estimated range of 303 miles i spent most of my time in the all-wheel drive model that rates 320 horsepower and 446 pound-feet of torque this does lead to a decreased range of 256 miles but what's lost in overall range was made up for at the charger so we just finished up lunch at an old california mining town very befitting because i would say hyundai has struck gold with the ionic five and what i mean by that is they've sort of found a solution to an eevee buyer's biggest concern that's probably range anxiety now it's not to say that the ionic 5 completely eliminates range anxiety right but it does have an impressive starting range on a full charge 300 plus then on top of that you have fast charging capabilities 10 to 80 and 18 minutes no slouch i would say the ionic 5 is a very forward thinking vehicle and as such prospective buyers may go you know what the switch to an ev may not be that bad in a bigger hurry with its 800 volt architecture a 250 kilowatt dc fast charger can add 68 miles of range in only about 5 minutes that's close to the time it takes to top off a traditional car's gas tank overall driving the ionic 5 was a well-rounded experience the one pedal driving and safety features made highway cruising that much easier the selectable drive modes and tuned down regenerative braking made the twisty mountain roads a bit more fun to tackle and the all-wheel drive especially helped on the rare rainy socal day we encountered outside the ioniq 5 features a pixel-inspired design best seen in the cubed headlights and pixelated tail lights the broad roomy interior is optimized and flexible partially made from sustainable materials like recycled plastics but the real star is the onboard technology all models come with two 12.3 inch displays one for the instrument panel and then one for the infotainment i was paired off with the top limited model one of three available trims it comes with the premium heads up display with augmented reality functions showing speed and navigation the ionic 5 represents the enlightened direction of hyundai's designs with an ev driving experience to match after delivery fees the se rear wheel drive is priced just around 45 000 but a cheaper standard range model with a smaller battery will be available in spring 2022 for around 40 thousand dollars we look forward to seeing more of the ioniq 5 soon right here on motorweek you
