Ioniq 5
The 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5 brings a bold and futuristic look to the electric vehicle market, continuing its sleek, minimalist design characterized by unique pixelated lighting and a distinctive front fascia. The smooth, aerodynamic shape not only enhances its visual appeal but also contributes to improved efficiency, with new exterior paint options like Sage Silver Matte added for the model year.
The 2026 Ioniq 5 is powered by highly efficient electric motors with various configurations, offering instant torque and a smooth, powerful drive across two battery pack sizes. Models with the larger 84 kWh battery pack and rear-wheel drive deliver an impressive EPA-estimated range of up to 318 miles. The Ioniq 5 now features a NACS charging port, providing direct access to the vast Tesla Supercharger network, and with its 800-volt architecture, it can recharge from 10% to 80% in as little as 20 minutes using an appropriate DC fast charger.
Inside the 2026 Ioniq 5, you'll find a modern, spacious cabin with a panoramic curved display that integrates dual 12.3-inch screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment system. All models now come standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a combination Level 1/Level 2 home charging cable, and Digital Key 2.0 functionality, which allows a smartphone or watch to act as a key.
The 2026 Ioniq 5 is equipped with Hyundai's comprehensive SmartSense suite of safety technologies, ensuring peace of mind on every drive and contributing to its IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award. Standard features across all trims include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Safe Exit Assist.
