Hyundai's boxy electric crossover enters the 2027 model year as a mature, broadly equipped family car rather than a new design. The facelifted Ioniq 5 is sold with a 63 kWh or an 84 kWh battery, replacing the earlier 77.4 kWh pack, and Hyundai Germany quotes up to 570 km of WLTP range for the 84 kWh rear-drive version. Power comes from a single rear motor with 125 kW (170 PS, about 168 hp) or 168 kW (229 PS, about 226 hp), or from a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system with 239 kW (325 PS, about 321 hp). The 800-volt architecture accepts DC charging at up to 260 kW, which Hyundai ties to 10-80% in 18 minutes on a 350 kW charger. The 2027 update adds a camera-based driver attention assistant and a new-generation eCall as standard equipment in Germany. In Germany prices start at €45,750, in the United States at $35,250 and in Israel at NIS 214,990. The high-performance Ioniq 5 N is a separate car and is not covered here.
Performance & Specs
Hyundai Germany lists three powertrains for the Ioniq 5. The entry car pairs the 63 kWh battery with a rear motor of 125 kW (170 PS, about 168 hp) and 350 Nm; a secondary spec database lists 8.5 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h for it. The 84 kWh rear-drive version raises output to 168 kW (229 PS, about 226 hp), keeps 350 Nm and covers the sprint in 7.5 seconds. At the top, a second motor on the front axle adds 255 Nm and brings the system to 239 kW (325 PS, about 321 hp) and 605 Nm, good for 5.3 seconds to 100 km/h. Top speed is 185 km/h in every version. Hyundai quotes PS in Europe, the metric horsepower that is about 1.4% smaller than the imperial hp, so the hp figures here are recalculated from the official kW and PS values.
WLTP range depends on the drivetrain. Hyundai Germany gives up to 440 km for the 63 kWh car, up to 570 km for the 84 kWh rear-drive car and up to 546 km for the 84 kWh all-wheel-drive car on 19-inch wheels, with combined consumption of 15.6, 16.0-17.2 and 16.8-18.2 kWh/100 km. On the 20-inch wheels of the N Line, Hyundai.de lists up to 515 km for the rear-drive and 495 km for the all-wheel-drive version. WLTP consumption is measured at the socket, so 84 kWh divided by 570 km (about 14.7 kWh/100 km) is lower than the official figure. In the United States the EPA rates the 2027 SE Standard Range at 245 miles, the extended-range rear-drive versions at 318 miles and the all-wheel-drive versions between 259 and 290 miles, according to Electrek's price table. The US figures use a different test cycle and cannot be compared directly with WLTP.

Charging & Battery
The Ioniq 5 charges at both 400-volt and 800-volt stations without extra components or adapters, using a system Hyundai describes as patented. Hyundai Germany lists a maximum DC power of 260 kW and 10-80% in 18 minutes, and states that figure for a 350 kW charger, so 350 kW describes the charger and not the car. The standard battery heating can be switched on manually from model year 2027, where it was previously triggered only when a fast charger was set as the navigation destination. Vehicle-to-Load provides up to 3.6 kW, which Hyundai says can run a mid-size air conditioner and a 55-inch television for up to 24 hours. Hyundai Italy lists a 10.5 kW three-phase onboard charger for the XTech trim.
The German press kit gives 63 kWh and 84 kWh without saying whether they are gross or net values. The 84 kWh pack replaces the earlier 77.4 kWh unit, and Hyundai says energy density is about 10% higher than in the previous battery technology, with the E-GMP platform allowing individual modules to be replaced in a repair. Israel sells only the 84 kWh car.

Design & Interior
The Ioniq 5 keeps the sharp-edged design Hyundai introduced in 2021, with a clamshell bonnet that wraps over the wings, parametric-pixel light signatures at both ends and a C-pillar that follows the 45-degree line of the 2019 concept. The facelift added a refined V-shaped trim line, new front and rear bumpers, a rear spoiler extended by 50 mm and new 19-inch and 20-inch wheel designs, while the door handles sit flush and fold out electrically on the higher trims. The N Line and N Line X versions add 20-inch wheels, sportier bumpers and side sills, an N Line steering wheel, N pedals, a black headliner and red contrast stitching.
Inside, the flat floor and the sliding multi-function console give the cabin a lounge character, with shift-by-wire selection on the steering column and physical buttons for seat heating, ventilation and parking sensors on the console. The steering wheel has LED pixels, as on the Ioniq 6. Hyundai highlights sustainable materials: seat leather treated with linseed-oil extracts, textiles from bio-based and recycled PET fibres, bio-polyurethane paint made from rapeseed and corn oil and floor mats made from recycled fishing nets. The optional Relax package adds reclining front seats with leg rests, seat memory and an electrically sliding rear bench, and a panoramic glass roof is available at extra cost.
Technology & Features
The dashboard carries a 12.3-inch digital cluster and a 12.3-inch touchscreen running Hyundai's ccNC software, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, over-the-air updates and the latest Bluelink Connect services including connected routing, last-mile navigation and a filter for IONITY chargers. Hyundai notes that some Bluelink and update functions may require a paid subscription. A Bose system with eight speakers, a head-up display and a digital rear-view mirror are standard on the Uniq and N Line X, and Matrix LED headlights come in a €1,200 LED package on the Centriq and as standard on the Uniq and the two N Line trims. Optional camera-based exterior mirrors show their images on screens in the door panels. For model year 2027 the Uniq and N Line X trims now include what was previously the Park package.
Safety & ADAS
Every German Ioniq 5 has autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection and a junction-turning function, Highway Driving Assist 1.5, navigation-based adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition and lane-following and lane-keeping assistants. From the Centriq trim the car gains Highway Driving Assist 2.0, which also helps with lane changes, plus blind-spot assistance and rear cross-traffic braking; the safe exit warning is standard on the Centriq and N Line, while the Uniq and N Line X come with a safe exit assist as standard, which Centriq buyers can add in a €600 seat package. The camera-based driver attention assistant and the new-generation eCall are standard on all variants from model year 2027; Hyundai Germany describes the eCall as 4G while Hyundai Italy calls it a 5G-connected system. Hyundai does not state an SAE automation level in the materials we checked, and the systems are driver-supervised. We did not check a Euro NCAP result for this version.

Hyundai Italy's release of 17 July 2026 lists a similar line-up from €42,800.
In South Korea, the home market, Hyundai launched the 2027 model on 9 June 2026 with one standard-range trim, the E-Value+ at KRW 47.35 million, and five long-range trims: E-Lite at KRW 50.64 million, Modern at 52.90 million, Premium at 58.25 million, Inspiration at 61.50 million and N Line at 59.45 million. These are two-wheel-drive prices after the EV tax reduction and before subsidies. In the United States the 2027 MSRPs exclude the destination fee, which is not confirmed for model year 2027, and run from $35,250 for the SE Standard Range to $49,125 for the all-wheel-drive Limited, a $250 rise over 2026 on the SE Standard Range; the US car has a NACS charge port. In Israel the importer Kalmobil launched the 2026 model in February 2026 in three trims, all with the 84 kWh battery, a single 229 hp motor and 570 km WLTP: Pure at NIS 214,990, Ultra at NIS 229,990 and Excellence at NIS 247,990. UK availability and pricing of the 2027 model were not confirmed in our check.
How It Compares
On German list prices the Ioniq 5 Centriq 84 kWh at €54,100 costs €3,110 more than the Skoda Enyaq 85 at €50,990 and €600 more than the Audi Q4 e-tron performance at €53,500. Both rivals offer 210 kW (286 PS, about 282 hp) against the Hyundai's 168 kW (about 226 hp), and the Enyaq's WLTP range of 547-581 km brackets the Hyundai's 570 km. The Hyundai's advantage is charging: Hyundai Germany quotes a 260 kW peak, while Skoda lists 165 kW for the Enyaq 85. The Ioniq 5 has the least power of the three, so buyers who want output closer to the rivals have to move to the all-wheel-drive N Line at €61,650, with 239 kW (321 hp); the 546 km figure applies to the 19-inch Uniq AWD, and Hyundai.de lists 495 km for the 20-inch N Line AWD. The Enyaq 85x, with 220 kW (about 295 hp) and all-wheel drive, is listed at €53,790, so the Ioniq 5 is not the cheapest route to all-wheel drive in this class. The rival figures are German model-year-2027 list prices and WLTP ranges.
- 800-volt charging at up to 260 kW with 10-80% in 18 minutes on a 350 kW charger, faster than the Enyaq's 165 kW
- Up to 570 km WLTP from the 84 kWh rear-drive car, with a 520 L boot, a 57 L frunk and a sliding console and rear bench
- Vehicle-to-Load at up to 3.6 kW, a heat pump from the Centriq trim and a driver attention camera as standard from 2027
- The 84 kWh rear-drive car makes 168 kW (about 226 hp), well below the 210 kW of the Enyaq 85 and Q4 e-tron performance at similar prices
- The 84 kWh battery starts at €54,100 in Germany; the €45,750 base car has 63 kWh and up to 440 km, and its heat pump costs €1,200 extra
The Ioniq 5 has aged well: the 800-volt platform still charges faster than most rivals, the cabin remains one of the roomiest in its class and the 2027 update adds safety equipment instead of price. The sweet spot is the 84 kWh Centriq at €54,100 in Germany, with up to 570 km and a heat pump, though its 226 hp trails the Enyaq and Q4 e-tron. In the US, the $35,250 SE Standard Range is the entry point to a NACS-equipped crossover with 245 miles of EPA range, and in Israel the three 84 kWh trims at NIS 214,990 to NIS 247,990 give buyers the long-range rear-drive version only. It is a strong all-rounder for families rather than a performance bargain.
