Buyers of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 in 2023 will be able to cover a few tens of additional kilometers. As expected, the electric compact sedan actually improves its autonomy for the start of its 2023 model year. Hyundai equips the Ioniq 5 with a new battery that unleashes its full potential in the two-wheel drive version.
With a capacity of 77.4 kWh, this new battery pack allows the autonomy of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 to exceed the 500-kilometer mark. At the wheel of the 2023 version of the Hyundai Ioniq 5, according to the manufacturer, no less than 507 kilometers can be traveled on a single charge. This autonomy is only valid with 19″ rims. With 20-inch rims it goes down to 476 kilometers. The new battery is available with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 engines, developing 229 and 325 hp respectively. The base model – which produces 170 hp – is not affected by this development.

As previously announced, the Ioniq 5 will also receive a preconditioning system that “automatically adjusts the temperature of the battery while driving to create optimal charging conditions”. The device activates automatically when a charging station is selected on the GPS navigation system.

In addition to these notable improvements, the 2023 version of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 comes with cameras instead of the exterior mirrors. More aerodynamic than traditional rear-view mirrors, they should allow to maximize autonomy. The interior mirror is also replaced with a camera to improve rearward visibility. Finally, Hyundai adds a new intelligent frequency damping system to “optimize front and rear suspension response.” The goal ? Of course, passenger comfort improves.
The new Hyundai Ioniq 5 will be marketed in France from June 2022. The starting price of the compact electric sedan with the 77.4 kWh battery is 49,700 euros.
