Hyundai Australia has revised the Ioniq 5 range for the 2022 model year. The local Hyundai Ioniq 5 family now consists of the 2022 Ioniq 5 Dynamiq and the Ioniq 5 Techniq. Prices for the rear-wheel drive Dynamiq start at AU$ 69,900 (US$ 47,042) while the Techniq is available from AU$ 77,500 (US$ 52,167).
The most significant update made to the
2022 Ioniq 5 is the inclusion of Hyundai’s Augmented Reality Head-Up Display.
This system is offered in other markets but wasn’t found on models initially
sold in Australia. There is also a new Vehicle-to-Load function in the cabin
that allows owners to charge their devices and appliances from inside. Elsewhere,
the entry-level Ioniq 5 Dynamiq has been equipped with new 19-inch wheels
wrapped in Michelin Primacy 4 tires. These new wheels have seen the WLTP range
increase to 481 km for the rear-wheel drive powertrain and 430 km for the all-wheel drive powertrain.
No changes have been made under the skin.
As such, the Ioniq 5 continues to be underpinned by the carmaker’s E-GMP
architecture that supports 400V and 800V charging infrastructures. Powering the
RWD Dynamiq is a single 215 hp electric motor with 350 Nm of torque while the AWD Techniq sports a 208 hp rear electric motor
and a 94 hp front electric motor, resulting in a combined 302
hp and 605 Nm.
Beyond benefiting from added power and
performance, the Ioniq 5 AWD Techniq has some features not found in the RWD
Dynamiq. These include an under-bonnet insulator, 20-inch wheels with wider
255/45 Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires, premium relaxation seats, memory seats up
front and at the rear, 2-way power adjustable rear seats, rear door sunshades,
ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, and heated rear seats. It is
also offered with a panoramic glass roof.
