Design upgrades

Exterior upgrades have honed the IONIQ 5's visual appeal, featuring a sleek V-shape garnish and redesigned bumpers that accentuate the vehicle's broad, SUV-like stance. Despite a 20 mm increase in length, the IONIQ 5's height, width, and substantial wheelbase remain consistent with previous models.

Aerodynamic performance has been improved through an elongated rear spoiler and the introduction of new aerodynamic wheels. Inside, the IONIQ 5 offers a revamped interior centered on user-friendliness and convenience while preserving the comfortable and spacious cabin.

New safety measures and convenience features such as Hands-On Detection (HOD) steering wheel technology, Lane Keeping Assist 2, Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 (RSPA 2), and advanced Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist systems elevate the driving experience, prioritizing both safety and ease.

Improved marketability is achieved through the integration of features like Intelligent Front-Lighting System (IFS), Digital Key 2, Built-In Cam 2, and a function that allows for the remote folding of the second-row seats.

The upgraded IONIQ 5 has also undergone enhancements for safety and ride comfort, with a new shock absorber setup to soften road vibrations, increased cowl crossbar rigidity for reduced steering wheel vibration, and strengthened vehicle body elements to counter low-frequency noise. A quieter rear wheel motor as a result of enhanced sound insulation further improves comfort levels.

Reinforced body parts, the addition of second-row side airbags, and an eight-airbag system build upon the IONIQ 5's robust safety profile.
