Hyundai Ioniq 5: striking inside and out
The Ioniq 5 isn’t quite as blatant an homage, but it is still extremely striking, quite unlike anything else on the road. In the metal, it’s much larger than the compact hatchback-style body shape suggests, but the scale lends the interior an airy spaciousness that is missing from so many modernOutside, the ‘folded’, crimped, and ribbed bodywork is far more sophisticated than the machine-made forms of the 1970s and 1980s.
Inside, the space makes the most of Hyundai’s new Electric-Global Modular Platform, which also serves as the underpinnings for the closely related but very physically different Kia EV6. The dashboard successfully blends flat screens with conventional controls, while there are no overwrought curves or scoops anywhere to be found. On the road, the Ioniq 5 demonstrates all the best EV driving qualities, swift acceleration, stable, grounded handling, and simple one-pedal operation.
It is a very easy car to live with, characterful without being overbearingly charismatic, efficient without being clinical, and practical without being dull. We look forward to future Ioniq models with keen anticipation. §
