HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 EPIQ

  By , ,

The Ioniq 5 is not Hyundai’s first fully electric vehicle, not by a long shot, but it was their first EV based on a dedicated battery-electric platform.

The gloves have come off with a warning that Hyundai wants to build the EV with the longest range in the world. This follows news the company’s forthcoming Ioniq 6 electrified streamliner will have an impressive range of 614km (WLTP). It’s not quite the best in Australia, but not far off. Ioniq 6 is no high-riding SUV, rather an extremely long, low curvaceous sedan with inherent aerodynamic advantages.
