I had the pleasure of driving her prized and iconic pure electric crossover Hyundai the Ioniq 5, which after an aesthetic renewal , felt improbable keeping the advanced «recipe» who established it at the top of the class!
The renewed Hyundai Ioniq 5 You are already on the Greek market, incorporating key substance upgrades that respond dynamically to competition bringing to the fore improved autonomy, increased battery capacity, top charge performance and long-awaited sport version N Line.
Oh this N Line version! Yes, my dear readers, there is hope, and it comes from Korea where Hyundai technicians built a car which does not trouble its owner, has performance, and above all it drives away the stress of charging which is still the black spot in choosing an electric vehicle.
Design interventions and dynamic presence
When I took it to wash... I took the line on his tasteful figure, which accepted subtle changes but with substance as they aim at the exuberance of the model, highlighting its wide and low SUV presence.
Bannics the redesigned front and rear bumpers which add 20 mm above the body length, which reaches a total of 4,655 meters. The right recipe starts here. The rear aerootomy has grown by 50 mm, adding a much more aggressive aerodynamic line which especially at night breaks them! The whole picture complements the side view of Ioniq 5, which makes crazy game the new aluminum rim designs, which steal the show.
At the top of the range, ladies and gentlemen, is the awesome new edition N Line which stands out thanks to the exclusive body with special bumpers, side aprons, 20-inch wheels, and with the sportive interior with the N seats, metal pedals that love you and the red contrast seams on mats and where else you imagine. I'd like to like it like the seductive dancer, who invites you to try a dance that makes the mood and turns the imagination on! The driver's, not anyone else's.
Large secret batteries with top autonomy
The game is played with the energy storage system, which is also an integrative point of renewal as well as the basic version The capacity of smaller battery increased from 58 kWh to 63 kWhSo, man, now we're talking about gas and autonomy, which is combined with the 170 horsepower electric motor that drives the rear wheels, offering autonomy that reaches all 440 km. Good! Yes, because of the small ones you understand the difference and depth of the careful renewal of Ioniq 5 which is perfectly fair and financially advantageous to the customer !
Long Range editions startled Chinese models with the upgrade of the battery which from 77.4 kWh climbed on 84 kWh. In the version that we drove with rear movement and 230 ready-to-war horses the autonomy reaches up to 570 km during WLTP. Can I tell you how many miles I've done without stress? From Thessaloniki to Serres Motorport, from there to Sohos Mountain Thessaloniki, the next day for a bath in Asprovalta and then a clean 100 km to Radio Thessaloniki and then to IKEA for quick speed charging! 370 km which I enjoyed each one separately. Now, I don't want to make you dizzy with the goodies offered by the ADAS security suite, which is loaded and plays very hard on drivers who step on the gas tank quite deep on the floor!
However, for those of the group looking for something more, there is also the four-wheeled version of Ioniq5, which yields 325 horses with a torque that breaks as it touches 605Nm offering a mad acceleration of 0-100km /h, in just 5.1 seconds! I will miss the tool, not only because it was awesome, but because it is a very strong solution for which you will not regret those who choose it! As long as you get on a track and fill with excitement and joy, which will last as long as you choose to own Ioniq5.
Charge performance: Unsurpassed 800V technology
Thanks to the preservation and development of advanced 800V architecture, the renewed Ioniq 5 remains a reference point to energy supply speed, Ultra-Fast Charging. In an appropriate high power public charger, the battery can accept up to 260 kW, allowing the energy to be replenished from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes, despite the largest capacity of the batteries. Something we have seen happening to the big 300kwh charger installed in the band of IKEA Thessaloniki, and is now a stand for many electric vehicle owners.
However, it is also notable that energy recovery, which is regulated by the big padles at the wheel where all the money is! In the look of the electronic timonara many bowed to its functional grandeur!
However, if you prefer, it is worth investing in a three-phase household. Power Wallbox 11 kW, where full charge from 0-100% you will see completed in approximately 8 hours and 45 minutes, time ideal for night charging at home or during work.
