New 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Review - Ultra Fast Charging Super Car!

Overview
The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a new all-electric compact crossover with advanced technology, futuristic styling, and a versatile interior. Intended as a Hyundai subbrand, the Ioniq moniker also applies to a flood of upcoming EV models, but the 2022 5 has debuted first. It features impressive charging speeds (up to 350 kW) and has an estimated driving range of up to 303 miles. Available with rear- or all-wheel drive, the EV ute makes between 168 and 320 horsepower. Its eco-friendly interior boasts a tech-centric dashboard, reclining front seats with footrests, and generous passenger space.

What's New for 2022?
The Ioniq 5 marks the debut of Hyundai's all-new, all-electric Ioniq subbrand, which the company says will usher in 23 battery-electric vehicles by 2025.
The 2022 Ioniq 5 with the standard-range battery and rear-wheel drive will start just north of $40,o00, but that's before the $7500 federal tax credit or any other incentives. We think the SEL with the 320-hp dual-motor setup (read: all-wheel drive) is the one to get. It comes standard with a hands-free power liftgate, artificial-leather upholstery, ambient interior lighting, a heated steering wheel, wireless charging, and more.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The Ioniq 5 has an electric-only powertrain that's available in multiple potencies. The standard-range battery paired with a single, rear-mounted electric motor generates 168 horsepower. With the longer-range battery, the rear-drive configuration generates 225 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, which Hyundai says will propel the 5 from zero to 60 mph in 7.4 seconds. The all-wheel-drive version is much more powerful, with 320 horses and a substantial 446 pound-feet, and quicker, too. It's said to catapult to 60 mph in 5.2 ticks. The Ioniq 5 we drove demonstrated its smoothness on a variety of road surfaces, and its wide-for-an-EV tires combined with a low center of gravity made it feel athletic going side to side. We only wish its steering provided more feedback and the suspension was a smidge firmer.
