Hyundai IONIQ 5: A Deep Dive Into Features and Production
Launched in February this year was Hyundai’s IONIQ 5, the first model in the company’s new BEV-dedicated brand. Two videos were published, covering key features and the production process of the vehicle. Here’s what went down.

Offering customers a long list of benefits, which enlists standout features such as sustainable materials, ultra-fast charging, Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology as well as three-semi autonomous Hyundai Smartsense features: Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA 2), Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-avoidance Assist (RCCA) and Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA).

The IONIQ 5 uses eco-friendly materials for the exterior, with special paints derived from natural flowers and corn. Similarly, its interior is also fitted with sustainably sourced materials such as plant-based yarns, eco-processed leather with plat-base extract as well as PET bottles, to name a few.

With the E-GMP platform, the IONIQ 5 can charge from 10 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes - thanks to the 800V ultra-fast charging and 400V charging without external adapters. It is also reported that customers can add 100 kilometres of range, with a charging time of approximately five minutes.

Meanwhile, the V2L function allows the BEV to make a ‘charger on wheels’ - allowing any electric device to charge using the vehicle. With up to 3.6 kW of power, the IONIQ 5 can charge any 110/220V machinery. An external recharging plug can also be used as a power source using a specific adapter.

In terms of production, the vehicle is fitted with the recently developed Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU), which powers the high-voltage and spare batteries. Moving down, the PE (Power Electric) system replaces the powertrain of conventional vehicles, resulting in weight reduction and improved efficiency.
In guaranteeing the reliability of the vehicle, the Intensive Inspection System reviews if the units are functioning correctly - inspection and correcting are done to the cameras and radar sensors, including the Surround View Monitor (SVM), Augmented Reality Head-up Display (AR HUD), digital side mirror as well as front corner radars.

Two final tests are then done to conclude production: the wind tunnel test and crash test to ensure optimal protection of passengers. With IONIQ 5 front-end crash structure, the design itself will absorb and distribute collision impact resulting in a minimized cabin deformation.
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 is set to arrive during the winter of this year. Three trims are available: the SE, SEL and Limited, with prices, announced sometime this year.
