The Ioniq 5 is Hyundai's next electric vehicle and it will be based on the new E-GMP Platform. Based stylistically on the 45 Concept, it has been spotted testing under lots of camouflage so it's hard to say how the final vehicle will look yet, but thanks to a leak, we now know the specs and the launch date. According to the Hyundai's Austrian site, the Ioniq 5 will launch in June 2021. Specs: Battery: 58 kWh | 73 kWh Range: 280 miles (WLTP) | 342 miles (WLTP) Charging speed (DC): 18 minutes to 80% or 15 minutes from 20% to 80% Charging AC: Up to 11kW with Powertrain Output: 308.4 horsepower (230 kW) All-wheel-drive: Yes Performance: 0-to-62 mph (100 km/h) 5.2 seconds Length: 4,630 mm Width: 1,890 mm Height: 1,600 mm Wheelbase: 3,000 mm Camera-based side mirrors will be available as an option (not in U.S.) Solar roof (maybe optional) According to one source, the First Edition will only come with the smaller 58 kWh battery.
Hopefully the camera based side mirrors could be available in Canada, but probably not. Some times Hyundai provides features not available in U.S. as available on Canadian models . The 73 kW battery should provide a better buffer safety margin .
I imagine mirror camera availability depends on local legality. I'm not sure if they're still illegal in Canada. They still are in the U.S. (for now).
This is the EV that I'm waiting for, though I'd like to see what the Kia "CV" looks like in comparison. I like that Hyundai is taking a distinct, individualized approach to each of the Ioniq vehicles, rather than the same nested dolls look.
Todays news release Ionic 5 to be equipped with OTA updates (hope they bench test them first) in conjunction with increased Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) functionality. Also to be included with the E-GMP platform Kia Motors (CV series) and Genesis (JW series) as early as April 2021 https://www.etnews.com/20210101000021
