Car design

IONIQ 5 reflects a pure and innovative take on electric vehicles. Inspired by the futuristic design of the electric vehicle, the sleek sensuality of the IONIQ 5 is a homage to Hyundai’s design heritage, reimagined for the future.

Exterior

Distinctive. Iconic. Pure.

IONIQ 5’s pure design is a refreshing take on electric vehicles, stripping away complexity to celebrate clean lines and minimalistic structures. The unique clamshell bonnet spans the entire width of the car, minimising panel gaps for a clean, high-tech look. The LED lighting showcases its signature Parametric Pixels – unique jewel-like design elements that will feature on the exterior of all future IONIQ models.

    Interior

    Live, drive, work, relax.

    Inside the IONIQ 5, the lines between living space and moving space are being blurred. Our new Electric Vehicle platform gave us the opportunity to re-create the interior as a whole new in-car experience. A larger flat floor, highly adjustable front seats that can be fully reclined, and a flexible centre console that can be moved throughout the cabin, make for an extraordinary experience.

      Make the interior layout suit your preferences. Rearrange the centre console to allow your children to use it as a desk or picnic table by sliding it towards the back seats.

      There's plenty of comfort for your backseat passengers too. The rear seats can be manually reclined and slid back and forth up to 135mm. Additionally, this feature ensures that there can is ample extra cargo space available. In Namsan Edition, this feature is electrically operated.

      Back seat passengers can enjoy cup holders and powering their accessories thanks to 2 USB ports and one 3 pin plug (V2L).

      Sustainability

      Innovative use of environmentally friendly materials.

      Environmentally friendly materials, like eco-processed leather and recycled yarn, are used extensively in the IONIQ 5. What’s more, raw materials extracted from sugar cane are used on the headliner, carpet and seat covers. A solution that is both recyclable and beautiful. The innovative use of natural materials contributes towards sustainability in our manufacturing processes, making the IONIQ 5 less reliant on oil-based products.
      1. For each Hyundai IONIQ 5 plastic bottles are shredded into chips for sustainable upholstery fabric

        Recycled bottles turned to fabric.

        For each IONIQ 5, a number of plastic bottles are shredded into plastic chips. Those chips are melted and spun into thread that makes an inviting, woven upholstery fabric.

      2. Hyundai uses bio components extracted from sugar cane and corn as sustainable materials for the IONIQ 5.

        Plants turned to components for seats and carpets.

        The seat, headlining and carpet fabric includes bio components extracted from sugar cane and corn, while leather used in the IONIQ 5’s interior is dyed using flaxseed oil.

      3. Hyundai IONIQ 5’s doors and crash pads are painted with bio paint that includes oil extracted from plants.

        Flowers turned to paint.

        The IONIQ 5’s doors and crash pads are painted with bio paint that includes oil extracted from plants such as rape flowers and corn.

        Using recycled PET bottles can inspire people to think about how products that are easily thrown away could be turned into something new. Of course, it would be better if PET bottles didn’t exist at all.
