New Hyundai IONIQ 5 Review

These Hyundai EVs are remarkably inexpensive given their capability. A new Hyundai IONIQ 5 in Phoenix offers different combinations of batteries and drivetrains to allow for variety. One can earn 240 miles on a single charge. Another battery pack can go 313 miles with a fully charged battery.

These rear-wheel-drive models feature a single electric motor placed at the rear, creating a unique driving experience reminiscent of high-end sports cars with rear-wheel drive. This setup elevates the handling and agility of the IONIQ 5.

The IONIQ 5 electric SUV offers one-pedal driving, providing a competitive edge with more expensive electric vehicles.

Fuel efficiency is remarkable, with long-range models achieving 132 mpg-e in the city and 127 mpg-e on the highway per EPA estimates. Short-range rear-wheel-drive models also impress with 110 mpg-e in the city and 94 mpg-e on the highway.

An IONIQ 5's power comes from a choice of two battery packs, offering either 168 or 225 horsepower. These electric models produce a robust 258 lb-ft of near-instantaneous torque.

AWD models take performance a step further, providing an electric range of 260 miles and generating 446 lb-ft of torque with dual motors—one dedicated to the front axle and another to the rear. This electronically controlled all-wheel drive system ensures optimal traction on and off the road.

Unmistakably an SUV, the 2026 Ioniq 5 in Phoenix offers a commanding view of the road and ample interior space, utility, and versatility. With 59 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first row and a spacious 27.2-cu ft cargo hold, it provides practicality and convenience.
