Laxmi International, the authorized distributor of Hyundai
vehicles in Nepal, is preparing for the launch of its premium electric SUV.
Hyundai IONIQ 5 will be the all new electric SUV, based on a new platform with
futuristic styling and premium features. Hyundai has been selling IONIQ as an
electric sedan in Nepal but, this isn't that. Rather, it will be an all new
IONIQ lineup that starts with IONIQ 5.
Hyundai has unveiled a new electric concept car called the
Prophecy "This is a concept car that looks similar to Porsche 911 and
Model 3. It comes with two battery packs 55kWh and 72.5 kWh Lithium-ion
Battery.
The 55 kWh battery pack comes with a single motor
rear-wheel-drive setup of 169 hp and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.2 seconds
and the 72.5 kWh battery pack comes with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup
that produces 302 hp and 605 Nm of torque and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in
5.2 seconds.
Hyundai IONIQ Supports 350 kW ultra-fast charging, it can
charge up to 10-80% in just 18 minutes and IONIQ 5 can cover a distance of 100
km on a 5 minute charge.

Engine, Transmission and Performance
The Ioniq 5 has an electric only powertrain that's available
in multiple potencies. The standard-range battery paired with a single,
rear-mounted electric motor generates 168 horsepower. With the longer-range
battery, the rear-drive configuration generates 225 horsepower and 258
pound-feet of torque, which Hyundai says will propel the 5 from zero to 60 mph
in 7.4 seconds. The all-wheel-drive version is much more powerful, with 320
horses and a substantial 446 pound-feet, and quicker, too. It's said to
catapult to 60 mph in 5.2 ticks. The Ioniq 5 we drove demonstrated its
smoothness on a variety of road surfaces, and its wide-for-an-EV tires combined
with a low center of gravity made it feel athletic going side to side. We only
wish its steering provided more feedback and the suspension was a smidge
firmer.
Range, Charging and Battery Life
With the standard 58.0-kWh battery pack, the Ioniq 5 is
estimated to provide 220 miles of range. The larger 77.4 kWh pack is rated at
256 miles with dual motors and 303 miles with a single one. Hyundai says the
larger battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in around 18 minutes or add
68 miles in about five minutes when plugged into a DC fast charger.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
The Ioniq 5 with the long-range battery and rear-wheel drive
has a combined EPA rating of 114 MPGe, adding all-wheel drive drops that
estimate to 98 MPGe. With rear-wheel drive and the standard-range battery, the
EV SUV is expected to get 110 MPGe combined. Once we can test these on our
75-mph highway route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen, we can
evaluate their real-world efficiency. For more information on the Ioniq 5's
fuel economy, visit the EPA website.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
While not as artsy as the cabin teased by the Hyundai 45
Concept, the Ioniq 5's interior boasts a tech-savvy space with a digitized
dashboard and a heavy dose of eco-friendly materials. A head-up display with
augmented reality that can project navigation directions on the windshield is
just one fanciful feature. The compact crossover also takes advantage of its
all-electric packaging, with a completely flat floor for maximum passenger and
cargo space. The front seats also recline and incorporate footrests, which will
let folks relax while the Ioniq is charging. With a wheelbase that's longer
than the three-row Hyundai Palisade, the 5 has ample front- and rear-seat
passenger room. Its large center console has lots of storage space, and on
top-spec Limited trims, it slides back and forth between the front seats.
Infotainment and Connectivity
Hyundai says the Ioniq sub brand emphasizes connected living,
and the Ioniq 5 has a host of innovative infotainment and connectivity
features. A 12.0-inch touchscreen shares a panel on the dash with a 12.0-inch
digital gauge cluster, but the former acts as a hub for all things
entertainment. This includes smartphone-integrated apps such as Apple CarPlay
and Android Auto as well as advanced voice-recognition technology.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
Along with a suite of driver-assistance technology, the Ioniq 5 will offer a Level 2 autonomous drive mode called Highway Driver Assist 2, which is similar to GM's Super Cruise in that it can drive on the highway and change lanes with little to no driver intervention. For more information about the Ioniq 5's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features should likely include:
- Available forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking
- Available lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist
- Available adaptive cruise control
Hyundai IONIQ 5 Price in Nepal and Availability
