SINGAPORE, March 30, 2023 – Hyundai Motor Company will be kicking off their full start of sales for the made-in-Singapore IONIQ 5 on 31 March, where drivers will be able to purchase the car across both online and offline channels. Together with long-standing partner Komoco Motors, the brand hopes to bring Singapore drivers on a differentiated EV ownership journey through their IONIQ 5 EV purchases. As a start, the company will be launching a unique online sales platform available via Hyundai.com/sg. With a view to creating a seamless EV ownership experience for drivers here, the company is also introducing initiatives aimed at making EV ownership more hassle-free, including a newly-launched IONIQ Care+ app to offer more personalized support to drivers on their EV journey.

The IONIQ 5 will be amongst the first made-in-Singapore EVs produced at the Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center in Singapore (HMGICS), the country's first and only EV production smart facility. Car prices start at a Singapore-dedicated price to meet the needs of the market and Cat A Certificate of Entitlement (COE) requirements. This is in a bid to offer broader options and cater to Singapore customers’ varied preferences across both COE categories A and B.

IONIQ 5: Embodying comfort, personality and power
The IONIQ 5 will be available to Singapore in multiple colours, 2 batteries options, and 4 trim options.

• Exterior colours available: Midnight Black Pearl, Titan Grey Metallic, Optic White and Magnetic Silver Metal
• Interior colours available: Black Monotone and Dark Pebble Grey
• Battery options available: Standard Range 58 kWh or the Long Range 77 kWh
• 4 trim options available:
        - RWD Standard Range ‘Exclusive Trim Model’ (COE Category A)
        - RWD Standard Range ‘Prestige Trim Model’ (COE Category A)
        - RWD Long Range ‘Prestige Trim Model’ (COE Category B)
        - AWD Long Range ‘Inspiration Trim Model’ (COE Category B)

On the exterior, standard features include 19-inch alloy wheels, with the iconic parametric pixel headlamp and rear lights on higher trims. Higher trims such as the Inspiration range comes with 20-inch alloy wheels.

On the inside, drivers and front passengers are in for a treat with lumbar support and zero gravity seats. All cars feature leather-wrapped steering wheels with quick access button, and seats are covered in eco-processed leather. The car is built on the proprietary Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), which allows more leg room, openness and roominess throughout the vehicle with its larger flat floor surface, zero gravity seats, and flexible universal island.

On selected trims, vehicle-to-load (V2L) enables drivers to use the IONIQ 5’s battery to power or charge electric devices easily – the 3-pin socket under the middle row seat is for internal usage, while an additional external adapter from the external charging port is for external usage.

An exhilarating drive is guaranteed with the AWD car, which is able to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 5.1 seconds. The top trim boasts a driving range of 454km and quick charge of 18 minutes.

Embark on a Unique and Holistic Purchasing Journey with Hyundai

All potential car buyers will be able to customise, order and apply for financing of their cars on the online customer purchase platform. Individuals need only register for HMGICS membership before customising their IONIQ 5 car. Simplicity, swiftness and convenience are built into the platform to ensure a smooth and fast purchasing experience from beginning to end.

Customers will be able to configure their cars and go through a finance plan simulation before placing their orders. They will also be able to place a deposit, apply for a loan, track their order status in real time, and select their collection dates – all on one platform. Hyundai will also incorporate capabilities for customers to browse stock availability in the months to come.

In addition to this, buyers will be able to enjoy quick payment modes via PayNow – a first-of-its-kind option for Singapore drivers here. Moreover, through partnerships with various banks, customers will be also able to experience quick & hassle-free online finance process without a paperwork. The intention is to reduce customers’ time spent on the deposit process as much as possible.

Hyundai Motor Group’s ambition to offer a holistic EV ownership experience for their customers is embodied in their continued, long-standing partnership with Komoco Motors. The shared vision of a holistic EV purchase journey will be demonstrated by Komoco’s certified sales consultant through a “concierge style”; a dedicated Komoco sales associate will guide the customer from end to end as they navigate the multi-faceted online platform.

1. Tailored Charging Options and Solutions 
Hyundai’s suite of charging solutions caters to varied lifestyle needs. Customers will be able to opt for a free EV home charger (including standard installation and extended warranty) or enjoy free charging credits. In future, Hyundai will also be exploring more differentiated public charging solutions and procedures to offer more convenience to customers wherever they are.

2.  Lifetime EV Care
10-year free EV battery warranty and 10-year free service program at the region’s first EV-dedicated service centre at Komoco Motors are also included, specifically to cater to the lifespan of Singapore’s COE license.

The IONIQ Care+ app analyses EV usage patterns while driving, charging and parking and offers optimal guidance to help drivers enhance and sustain their battery health.
