2023 Hyundai IONIQ 5
The 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 5 is a cumulation of the brand's best and brightest innovations, all in an electric package. This EV is highly praised among car journalists and even won “World Car of the Year”, beating many other electric vehicles such as the Kia EV6 and Ford Mustang Mach-E.
In this comprehensive review, we will discuss the IONIQ 5’s trim levels, performance specs, safety features, outstanding design, ownership costs, miles of range, parking assist, ultra fast charging capability, and more. Keep scrolling to find what interests you most.
Stylish From The Outside In
The IONIQ 5 is distinct from other Hyundais. To start, this vehicle has a retro design which many EV owners love. The exterior is boxy and angular with the Hyundai logo placed neatly in the center.
This vehicle sports pixel-based lights across the body. Meaning, the headlights, side mirror accents, and taillights are designed with blocky pixels. This gives a tasteful and nostalgic “80’s look”, while still feeling like a modern electric vehicle.
The 19-inch alloy wheels are a crowd-pleaser. This zig-zag-shaped design fits well into the IONIQ 5’s style. As for other amenities, a rear spoiler and shark-fin antenna comes standard on all IONIQ trim levels. This vehicle also has automatic-retracting flush door handles and active grill shutters.
The IONIQ 5 offers colors such as Phantom Black, Cyber Gray, and Atlas White. For the first time in 2023, Gravity Gold Matte is now an option. If you want something more vibrant, other color options include Digital Teal, Lucid Blue, or Shooting Star. For those interested in test driving an IONIQ 5, click here to schedule an appointment.
Cabin Storage
Inside of Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 is where style, space, and functionality meet. For starters, there is an extra storage space under the front hood. Plus, this EV has 27.2 cubic feet of cargo space which extends to 59.3 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down.
To put this into perspective, many gas-powered midsized SUVs have under 20 cubic feet of cargo storage. One example is the 2023 Subaru Ascent, which only has 17.6 cubic feet of rear storage.
In terms of legroom, this vehicle has 41.7 inches of front legroom, an 8-way power driver seat and 6-way manual adjustable passenger seat. Second rows have 39.4 inches of rear legroom and reclining seatbacks. Busy parents will love stain-resistant cloth seats and seatback pockets.
In the last model year of 2022, the IONIQ 5 could tow up to 1,650 pounds. This year's model has an increased top towing capacity of 2,300 pounds. That is a 650-pound difference! While you may not plan to tow often with an electric vehicle, it’s helpful to know that your EV is built tough enough to pull a trailer.
Interior Design
As it did in 2022, the cabin wears one of three design choices. The first interior design is black-on-black tones with subtle differences to provide visual interest.
The second interior design is a sporty gray-on-gray style with a bit more contrast. Parents may appreciate the stain-resistant cloth upholstery that is unique to the Hyundai line.
The final interior design choice is the H-Tex, Hyundai’s most handsome leatherette upholstery choice. Of course, the IONIQ’s 12.3-inch HD touchscreen is perfect for Apple CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto.
IONIQ 5 models have Hyundai BlueLink for extra connectivity. Your purchase entitles you to three years of the Guidance Package, the Remote Charger Package, and Connected Care.
For those in the Phoenix or Scottsdale, AZ area, staying cool during the hot summer months is a must. Now, it is easier with the IONIQ’s dual-control automatic temperature. In fact, a customized setting can save energy and keep the driver cooler when alone in the cabin.
Zippy Performance and Handling
It’s clear that Hyundai engineers recognized that fast, yet controlled performance is essential to electric vehicle shoppers. The rear-wheel drive base model has 225 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. With an all-wheel drive model, these numbers increase to 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque.
Additionally, this electric vehicle boasts a 5-second zero-to-60 mph sprint. This competes well with gas-powered midsize SUVs. Plus, terrain modes for the IONIQ 5 include eco, comfort, sport, and snow. Each of these modes adapts easily to diverse terrains.
Quick To Charge and Wide Range
The IONIQ 5 has multiple options for motor and electric range. When the IONIQ has a single electric motor and regular battery pack, the standard range is 220 miles. With the dual motors, the driving range is increased by 266 miles with the advanced battery pack. That’s a 10-mile increase over the 2022 IONIQ 5 AWD model.
Additionally, this electric vehicle comes with an ultra-fast charger. For example, when starting with 10 percent power, it takes only 25 minutes to boost the IONIQ 5's charge to a strong 80 percent.
Regenerative brakes, which originated on hybrids, capture excess energy and improve battery life. IONIQ engineering refines this process. These electric SUVs have special control paddles on the steering wheel that allow drivers to regulate regeneration for more energy or more braking power.
Fuel Economy and Ownership Costs
The average midsize SUV earns approximately 28 miles per gallon. The average 2-row Hybrid may earn as much as 50 miles per gallon. However, the IONIQ 5 blows these mileage standards out of the water.
The 2023 model year can hit an estimated 114 miles per gallon in the city and 98 miles per gallon on the highway. With all-wheel drive, this vehicle gains approximately 113 miles per gallon in the city and 90 miles per gallon on the highway. Both figures rose by 3 mpg for this model year.
Impressive gas mileage is not the only financial perk of the 2023 IONIQ 5. In terms of ownership, up to $7,500 in federal tax credits may be claimed when purchasing an electric vehicle. The Hyundai IONIQ 5's already reasonable price, plus tax credit, make this vehicle an easy transition for first-time EV buyers.
If quality is a concern, potential shoppers can check out the high reviews for the Hyundai IONIQ 5 from Car Connection. It gave the 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5 the top score for the “2022 Best Car to Buy”, which featured 7 different vehicles.
Keep in mind, this is different from the “World Car of the Year” that was mentioned earlier, which also gave the IONIQ 5 high scores.
Last, but certainly not least, Hyundai has the longest standard automotive warranties available in today’s marketplace.
Upper Trim Levels
New for 2023 models, the Digital Key 1 is standard on the SEL trim level. These models have acquired an especially comfortable cabin with H-Tex seats and ambient lighting. A power liftgate makes loading easier.
Second-row AC vents are added to increase comfort levels in the backseat and a wireless charger is added to the cockpit. While it might not be needed often in our Phoenix, AZ, climate, this vehicle model has a heated steering wheel to match its standard heated seats.
Even more comfortable and well-appointed for the Arizona lifestyle, the 2023 IONIQ 5 Limited trim adds ventilated seats to take the edge off the Phoenix heat. The unique Vision Roof lets in light and blocks heat.
Additional Limited standards include rear-side sunshades, a sliding center console, and a head-up display. A Bose premium audio system surrounds you with the music you love. You can schedule a test drive to check out these excellent SEL and Limited features.
Drivers Assistance and Safety Features
All IONIQ models have Highway Driving Assist for automated driving experiences. This includes adaptive cruise control, lane assist, and speed limit assist. This is a huge incentive for those interested in the most contemporary electric vehicle for the money.
To top it off, an Emergency Brake responds to urgent forward collision warnings, looking out for cars, pedestrians and cyclists. The rear Cross-Traffic Alert will trigger braking if it detects an obstacle, helping to eliminate parking errors.
For even more semi-automated features, you’ll want to choose the IONIQ 5 SEL. It has more advanced versions of the Highway Driving Assist system.
IONIQ 5 Limited models have even more safety features than the base models, such as blind spot cameras to assist with forward travel and surround view monitors that assist with parking. The rear distance warning is strengthened by a reverse emergency auto brake. All of these features are sure to quell the concerns of parents who have teenagers learning to drive.
