◇ Design with respect for 45 years of Hyundai car design that started as a pony

Hyundai Motor Company introduces exclusive new electric vehicle design and fundamental change in the way automobiles experience the era of electric vehicles through Ioniq 5. The exterior of the IONIQ 5 sheds light on Hyundai Motor’s design heritage , which started out as a pony and embodies a timeless design that connects the past with the present and the future.

This means that just as Pony, which was first introduced in 1974, was an icon that marks the beginning of the Korean automotive industry, the Ioniq 5, incorporating the challenging spirit of Hyundai represented by Pony in its design, is also the first exclusive electric car. to lead the new era of the electric car.

The most essential design element of IONIQ 5 is ‘Pararametric Pixel’. Parametric is a geometric algorithm that maximizes digital design technology (a shape that occurs naturally through data or equations) as a design element. It is a line created through digital data rather than a traditional drawing or sketch. It is reflected in the design of the car by using faces, angles and shapes.

Parametric pixels are the differentiated design elements of IONIC 5, which shape pixels, the smallest unit of an image, and contain the meaning of passing from generation to generation by merging analog and digital.

Parametric pixels are applied to the electrical charging ports, as well as the headlights, taillights, and wheels, showing the unique design identity of the IONIQ 5, as well as providing customers with creativity, pleasure, and positive experiences that future mobility will bring.

The front end of the IONIQ 5 is impressive with slim headlamps located along the left and right, and a clamshell-shaped bonnet that covers the entire top of Hyundai’s first motor minimizes the line of separation that it encounters. the face and divides it into a line, creating a refined yet high-tech image. The clamshell bonnet is a design-reflecting bonnet that can be folded and deployed like a shell, and is made up of a single panel integrating the parts of the bonnet and the fender.

Along with this, the ‘Intelligent Air Flow Controller (AAF, Active Air Flap)’ at the bottom of the front bumper reduces air resistance by smoothing the airflow while driving, helping to extend mileage and provide a dynamic feel. The smart airflow controller is a device that controls the airflow through an air cap (air cover) at the bottom of the vehicle’s front bumper and efficiently cools the internal parts of the vehicle, thereby helps improve fuel economy.

On the side, based on a silhouette reminiscent of a pony, the character line stretches in a straight line and draws attention to the longest 3000mm wheelbase in its class. The 20-inch wheel with aerodynamic structure and the largest diameter of the Hyundai electric. vehicle is the perfect ratio of electric vehicle.

◇ Innovative interior space that breaks the boundaries between living and moving

The interior of IONIQ 5 has been reborn as an innovative space that breaks the boundaries between life and movement by reflecting the theme of a comfortable living space in an optimized design through the application of E-GMP.

Ioniq 5 provides a spacious living space for occupants with a flat floor made possible by applying a dedicated EV platform and long-axis distance at a glance, as well as enhancing the comfort of movement indoors.

The highlight of the interior space utilization is ‘Universal Island’. Universal Island, located in the existing internal combustion engine center console seat, has a 15W level smartphone high-speed wireless charging system, has an up and down split tray structure, and the tray bottom can store luggage like laptops and handbags. .

In addition, it can move back up to 140mm, so not only the first row but also the second row passengers can be used according to the purpose.

Also, if you use the driver and front row passenger seat relaxation comfort seats (including legrests) that create a zero gravity posture by adjusting the seat back and cushion angle, and the power sliding seats With two rows that can be moved up to 135mm forward, the interior of the Ionic 5 can be transformed into a space for rest, work and leisure.

Interior design that increases space utilization and ample storage space are also noteworthy. Ionic 5 is a slim cabin by moving the position of the blower (blower) that was with the heater, and a slim design seat for electric vehicles that has reduced the thickness of the seat by about 30% compared to the vehicle with the engine of existing internal combustion, which is made of ultra-resistant material.

◇ Application of ecological materials and colors for sustainability

Hyundai Motor Company brings a differentiated sensibility by applying eco-friendly materials and colors that reflect the IONIQ brand vision, sustainability, to IONIQ 5.

The interior of the IONIQ 5 uses environmentally friendly and recycled materials in several places. The door trims, door switches and protection pads are painted with bio-oil components extracted from plants such as rapeseed flowers and corn, and the sheet is made of fabric that contains yarn made from bio-components extracted from the sugar cane and corn.

In addition, fabrics made with yarns made by processing recycled clear PET bottles were applied to the seats and door armrests (armrests), and paper materials with the lightness of paper and natural appearance were used for the decoration of the door. .

In addition, by using environmentally friendly processes such as the use of vegetable oils from the leather dyeing process to make foils, it has allowed a sustainable method to be applied in a wider variety of areas.

◇ Dynamic and efficient driving performance and enhanced safety in exclusive electric vehicle crashes

Hyundai Motor Company operates the Ioniq 5 in two models, a long-range one with a 72.6 kWh battery and a standard one with a 58.0 kWh battery.

The maximum driving distance for a single charge is 410 to 430 km depending on the long-range rear-wheel drive model (the result of our laboratory measured by a national certification method), and in the case of super fast charging 350 kW , 80% of the battery capacity is charged in 18 minutes and 5 minutes. It can travel up to 100 km with the load (according to the European WLTP certification).

In addition, Hyundai Motor Company is equipped with a Disconnect Actuator System (DAS) that can separate or connect the engine and drive shaft according to the driving situation.

Also, with the E-GMP application, the heaviest battery is placed in the lower center of the vehicle, lowering the center of gravity and placing it in the center. All the basic features that a car should have, such as driving stability. , has been improved.

In addition, specifications for the efficient driving of electric vehicles were installed in Ioniq 5. The heat pump system is a technology that minimizes the reduction of the driving distance of an electric vehicle, which is greatly affected by winter temperatures, and uses waste heat generated by electrical parts, such as drive motors for indoor heating, to minimize battery power consumption.
