The crossover term implies the taller ride height and driving position of an SUV, but on both counts, the Ioniq 5 seemed about the same as an ordinary car. Hyundai calls the Ioniq 5 a crossover, but that’s just marketing spin. Hyundai even included a reclining driver’s seat that lifts your legs, so you can take a nap while you charge. The flat floor creates a greater feeling of space as well, and made room for a number of handy storage nooks. The horizontal screen sits proud of the dashboard, and the door panels curve outward, creating more elbow room. Instead of covering things up with extra trim, Hyundai kept things simple. Like the exterior, the interior is refreshingly different.
Where many EVs rely on one or two design features to stand out, these many unique elements combine to make the Ioniq 5 look like nothing else on the road. Headlights and taillights with pixel-like elements add a retro touch, while available aero-design 20-inch wheels and flush door handles help reduce aerodynamic drag, Hyundai says. Two-tone bodywork and sharp lines, particularly a beak-like convergence at the front bumper, give the Ioniq 5 a unique look. The Ioniq 5 blends retro and modern styling elements for a design that’s much more distinctive than the generic futurism of many other EVs.
