- The Hyundai Ioniq 5is likely to be launched at the 2023 Auto Expo

Hyundai India has commenced bookings of the Ioniq 5, its second EV offering in the country after the Kona Electric, for an amount of Rs 1 lakh. The company is expected to announce the prices of this crossover at the Auto Expo 2023.

In terms of colours, the new Hyundai Ioniq 5 will be available in three options - Gravity Gold Matte, Midnight Black Pearl, and Optic White. The model will be offered in a single, fully loaded variant, which is expected to be priced lower than its sibling, the Kia EV6, owing to local assembly.

Feature-wise, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 will come equipped with all LED lighting, flush-fitting door handles, 20-inch alloy wheels, Active Air Flaps (AAF), and a Dark Pebble Gray interior theme. It will also get two 12.3-inch screens - one unit each for the instrument cluster and infotainment system, Level 2 ADAS, V2L technology, BlueLink connectivity, ventilated front seats, as well as a sliding centre console and glove-box.

Propelling the upcoming Hyundai Ioniq 5 will be a 72.6kWh battery pack that produces 214bhp and 350Nm of torque. This battery is said to return an ARAI-certified range of 631km on a single charge. Apart from the EV6, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 will rival the BYD Atto 3.
