Overview

The Hyundai IONIQ 5 Series II is Hyundai New Zealand's current medium electric SUV, built on the 800V Electric-Global Modular Platform. Four configurations are listed on the official page: 63 kWh rear-wheel drive ($79,990 RRP), 84 kWh rear-wheel drive ($89,990), 84 kWh all-wheel drive ($97,990) and N Line Limited AWD ($124,990). Prices exclude on-road costs.

The Standard Range model uses a 63 kWh battery and a 125kW / 350Nm rear motor for 440km of WLTP range. The Extended Range rear-drive model raises the battery to 84.8 kWh and power to 168kW for 570km. Dual-motor HTRAC AWD versions combine 239kW and 605Nm, with 546km of range on the standard AWD and 495km on the N Line Limited.

Charging is a strong point. Hyundai quotes 10–80% in about 18 minutes on a 350kW ultra-fast charger for every listed trim, and about 58 to 76 minutes on a 50kW charger. The on-board AC charger is 10.5kW; published 10–100% AC times are about 8 hr 10 min (63 kWh) to 10 hr 50 min (84.8 kWh) at 7kW. An external V2L adaptor can supply up to 3.6kW (230V / 15A).

Boot space is 527L with the seats up and 1,587L folded (520L / 1,580L on N Line Limited), plus a front boot of 57L on rear-drive models or 24L on AWD. Braked towing is 750kg on the 63 kWh model and 1,600kg on the long-range models.

ANCAP awarded the IONIQ 5 five stars in 2021 (all variants except the IONIQ 5 N; rating expires December 2027). Hyundai New Zealand lists a 3-year / 100,000km mechanical warranty, an 8-year / 160,000km high-voltage battery warranty, three years of roadside assistance and a 10-year / 200,000km anti-perforation body warranty.
