Key Points

- New affordable base model priced $900 lower than Tesla Model Y RWD

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric crossover has had its lineup refreshed for the 2024 model-year, with the addition of a new more affordable range opener with prices starting from $64,500 before on-road costs. The entry model 2024 'Standard Range' IONIQ 5 features a less powerful rear motor and smaller 58 kWh battery delivering 384 km of range (WLTP).
The Ioniq 5 is now eligible for a wider range of government subsidies than before.
All configurations and trims now feature a heat pump, battery heating system, and battery conditioning as standard.
Besides the addition of a smaller 58 kWh battery, there have been no changes to the Ioniq 5's drivetrain and battery system
Starting from $64,500 before on-road costs, the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 now offers up to 507km of claimed WLTP range, a retro-futuristic design, ultra-rapid charging capability and more. The most expensive Ioniq 5 is the AWD EPIQ configuration which costs $84,000 before on-road costs.
Available stock will continue to be directly sold by Hyundai in occasional ‘sales drop’ windows with an online-only, fixed-pricing approach instead of the traditional dealer queues.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is eligible for select Australian state incentives. For further information, check out our comprehensive guide.
It competes with its Kia EV6 sibling, popular Tesla Model Y, Volvo XC40 and C40 Recharge and more.
Ioniq 5 Specs: Range, Charging and Size
The 2024 Ioniq 5 is offered in three levels of drivetrain power and two battery pack sizes
Standard Range RWD
The 'base' Standard Range RWD features a single rear motor producing 125 kW and 350 Nm of Torque capable of sprinting to the 100 km/hr mark in 8.5 seconds. It houses the smaller 58 kWh battery resulting in a claimed WLTP driving range of 384 km.
Long Range RWD
The Long Range RWD features a more powerful rear motor producing 168 kW and 350 Nm of Torque capable of sprinting to the 100 km/hr mark in 7.3 seconds. It houses the larger 77.4 kWh battery resulting in a claimed WLTP driving range of 507 km.
Long Range AWD
The Long Range RWD features a dual-motor setup producing a combined 239 kW and 605 Nm of Torque capable of sprinting to the 100 km/hr mark in 5.1 seconds. It houses the larger 77.4 kWh battery resulting in a claimed WLTP driving range of 454 km. The range is reduced compared to the RWD version due to the additional weight of the front motor.
The Ioniq 5 is rated to tow up to 1600kg braked or 750kg unbraked and comes with a “trailer pre-wiring package” as standard.
Based on a more advanced 800-volt class charging architecture, the 2024 Ioniq 5 carries ultra rapid charging capabilities of 350kW DC and 11kW AC. However, zecar believes the former is more likely to achieve around 250kW DC as we tested with the 2022 Kia EV6 GT-Line AWD.
Hyundai says it can recharge from 10 to 80 per cent in around 73 minutes on a 50kW public fast charger, cutting down to just 18 minutes when on a 350kW ultra rapid station.
Going from 10 to 100 per cent takes around 11 hours and 45 minutes overnight on a 7kW AC charger.
The electric crossover uses the standard Type 2/CCS2 connector located on the rear-right side. It includes a trickle charger to plug into a standard household socket.
Vehicle-to-load (V2L) discharging functionality is standard on all models with a standard socket inside and outside via the charging port using the included Type 2 to V2L adapter.
All variants feature a heat pump which harvests heat from the electric motors to heat the climate control and improves energy efficiency.
Also included is active battery preconditioning. When a DC charger is set as the destination in the built-in navigation system, it will actively warm up the battery pack prior to achieve more optimal fast charging speeds.
It offers a range of regenerative braking levels, including ‘i-Pedal’ for one pedal driving and an adaptive recuperation mode.
Ioniq 5: Size and Dimensions
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is based on the dedicated Hyundai Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) shared with the sportier-looking Kia EV6 and more luxurious Genesis GV60. It is manufactured in South Korea.
Outside, the Ioniq 5 is inspired by a retro design that harps back to the Hyundai Pony sedan that was released in the ‘70s. Design elements include pixel motifs, ‘liquid silver’ matte cladding, horizontal line patterns, and a badge-less steering wheel hub with four squares representing ‘H’ in morse code.
Inside, it’s available with three interior trims – Obsidian Black, Dove Grey/Dark Pebble Grey, or Dove Grey/Dark Teal – but is matched with a pair of exterior colours. All models come with dual windscreen displays wrapped in white bezels, employ sustainable materials like paperette, eco-processed leather seats and other recycled materials, a 9.4-litre glovebox drawer, and slidable ‘Universal Island’ centre console.
The rear outboard seats house two ISOFIX child seat anchor points. The rear row can be reclined and folded in a 60/40 split. It offers a frunk storage space – 57-litres on the Dynamiq RWD or 25-litres on the AWD versions.

Additionally, Hyundai has now extended its servicing intervals to every 24 months/30,000km for the 2023 Ioniq 5. However, servicing prices have increased compared to its 2022 predecessor. For example, the first 72 months/90,000km maintenance visits will now set owners back $2230 compared to $1904 before – a nearly 15 per cent increase.
