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).

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).
