Hyundai Ioniq 5

Friday, Sep 27, 2024 12:00 PM

Bold, cleverly configured hatchback-cum-SUV was a trailblazer in 2021 but where does it stand today? The Hyundai Ioniq 5 made a powerful statement when it first appeared on the UK car market in 2021, for a car maker looking to really capitalise on a competitive advantage in electric cars that it had already spent close to a decade building.From its chiselled styling, to its 1980s retro body proportions, to its eye-catching ‘parametric’ lighting features, this 12/10ths-scale hatchback was made to stand out. Several years into its lifecycle, it still does.However, while this car has been through incremental changes since that market launch, including the addition of the red-hot drift-enabled Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, the rest of the mid-sized EV market has been seeking to aggressively rein in Hyundai’s established lead when it comes to fully electric family cars.This class is easily the most competitive, with the most genuinely appealing options, so life for the Ioniq 5 isn’t quite as straightforward today as it was when it launched.
