2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 review

1. All-electric powertrain

The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is an all-electric vehicle that will appeal to even the most serious gearheads. You have a choice of two battery-size options: 58 kWh or 77.4 kWh. The standard 58 kWh option with FWD gets an EPA-estimated 220 miles on a full charge, while the long-range option with FWD gets an EPA-estimated 303 miles on a full charge.

For the AWD model with the 77.4 kWh battery, you can expect an EPA-estimated range of 266 miles on a full charge. You'll love the instant torque, which feels incredible on the more powerful AWD models that kick out 320 hp.

2. Futuristic design

It's safe to say the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 stands out. The pixel-inspired light clusters, clamshell hood, and automatically extending door handles make this electric SUV feel like it's straight from the future. That design goes past aesthetics, too. For example, you'll get ultra-fast charging capabilities of up to 350 kW. This will allow you to charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 18 minutes on long-range models using a compatible charger.

3. Driver-assistance features as standard

Electric vehicles are known for their abundance of technology as standard, and the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is no different. For maximum peace of mind on the road, particularly when driving in busy urban areas, you'll appreciate the standard rear-cross traffic assist, blind spot warning, driver attention warning, and more. If you're looking for even more features, the Limited trim has a blind-spot view monitor and surround-view monitor.

4. Minimalist interior with tons of tech

The minimalist interior of the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 maximizes available space while offering a calm and peaceful cabin experience. Front-row passengers get 41.7 inches of legroom, while those in the rear seats get 39.5 inches. Even with a full crew, you'll still get 27.2 cu-ft of cargo space. Up front, the two 12.3-inch screens give you all the information you need during your drive. You'll also have access to the infotainment system, which includes an available eight-speaker Bose^® audio experience with smartphone integration. As the driver, you'll love the reclining relaxation function that supports your legs while you rest—perfect for a quick nap while you charge up during a long trip.

5. Available all-wheel drive

On all long-range models of the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5, you have the choice of available all-wheel drive. This adds another electric motor to drive the rear wheels, along with a boost in power. You'll love the 320 hp and awesome 446 lb-ft of instant torque. With power going to all four wheels, you'll have added grip when the weather turns, as well as extra confidence when trekking across grass and mud to find the perfect camping spot.
