[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] Hyundai Motor Company unveiled the Ioniq 5 for the first time at the Shanghai Motor Show in China.
Hyundai Motor announced on the 19th (local time) that it revealed the Ioniq 5 at the '2021 Shanghai International Motor Show' held at the Shanghai Convention Center in China. The Ioniq 5 is the first model of Hyundai's dedicated electric vehicle brand, Ioniq.
The Ioniq 5 is the first model to apply the dedicated electric vehicle platform E-GMP, capable of driving up to 429 km on a single charge. It supports 350 kW ultra-fast charging, allowing the battery to be charged up to 80% within 18 minutes, and can drive up to 100 km with just 5 minutes of charging. The all-wheel-drive model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds. Additionally, it is equipped with V2L (Vehicle to Load) technology, which allows the vehicle to supply general power (220V) externally, enhancing practicality.
Lee Hong-peng, Head of Hyundai Motor and Kia Brand and Sales Division, said, "The Ioniq 5 is the first dedicated electric vehicle that offers a completely new experience with innovative design and advanced technology," adding, "Starting with this, we will enhance our competitiveness in electric vehicles in China."
