Hyundai is all set to launch their upcoming electric vehicle, Ioniq 5 in the Indian market. And the same has been spotted testing in India recently. It shares the same e-GMP platform as its cousin, Kia EV6 and we can expect the launch early next year.
What's interesting is that even though both the Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 share the same platform, the former will be priced lower than the other. This is because Hyundai will localise their upcoming EV here in India itself and is expected to bring the car with a smaller battery pack.
We expect the South Korean carmaker to bring the smaller 58 kWh battery pack that gives a certified range of 383 km on a single charge. In global markets, the Ioniq 5 is also offered with a larger battery pack of 77.4 kWh which gives a more driving range to the customers.

Feature-wise, the Ioniq 5 will be offered with a lot of modern amenities. We can expect a large touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, dual-zone climate control, a digital instrument cluster and more.
Other features like ventilated cooled front seats, head-up display, UV cut glasses, drive modes will also be included in the Ioniq 5. Safety equipment on the upcoming EV includes multiple airbags, ABS with EBD and ESP, front and rear parking sensors, hill hold control, hill descent control, tyre-pressure monitoring system and more.

Kia EV6 is priced from Rs 59.95 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. We expect the upcoming Hyundai Ioniq 5 to be priced from as low as Rs 48 lakh. All prices stick to ex-showroom, Delhi. Once launched, the Ioniq 5 will lock horn with Volvo XC40 Recharge, Kia EV6 and Mini Cooper SE.
