Editor's Analysis & Field Notes

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 has captured widespread critical acclaim with its sharp, retro 1980s rally-inspired styling and cutting-edge 800-volt battery architecture. Capable of accepting 235 kW peak DC fast charging, it surges from 10 to 80 percent battery state of charge in only 18 minutes. In long-range rear-wheel-drive form, it yields an EPA rating of 318 miles on a full charge. Its extended 118.1-inch wheelbase—longer than many full-size three-row SUVs—creates a lounge-like passenger cabin with a sliding center console and relaxing footrest seats. Ride comfort is plush and compliant over harsh road expansion joints. Combining quick performance, distinctive aesthetics, and rapid turnaround at charging plazas, it is one of the most compelling electric crossovers available today.
