Enhanced 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 now available

Hyundai has given its award-winning pure-electric Ioniq 5 some major improvements for the 2023 model year.

Chief among them is the arrival of a larger 77.4 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery pack. Thanks to that extra capacity, provisional driving range according to the WLTP cycle can be as high as 315 miles (507 kilometres).

0-62 mph (100 km/h) – 7.3 seconds
Top speed – 115 mph (185 km/h)
WLTP range – 295 miles (476 kilometres) or 315 miles (507 kilometres), depending on trim grade

77.4 kWh all-wheel drive

To coincide with the technical updates, Hyundai has introduced an additional equipment level called Namsan Edition.

As well as a full-length Vision panoramic sunroof, this new range-topping variant comes with digital side mirrors that use OLED monitors and external cameras instead of traditional bulky glass items.

The Namsan Edition’s standard kit list also includes a heat pump (to warm the interior, thereby reducing the energy demands placed on the high-voltage battery) and the Tech Pack (comprising auto-flush door handles, front relaxation seats, a driver’s memory seat, remote smart park assist, and parking collision avoidance assist).

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
