Rumors that Ioniq 5 will replenish the Russian Hyundai lineup appeared already in 2020. In 2021, representatives of the brand confirmed this information, but emphasized that the “battery” hatchback would not be available for “free” sale – supposedly only through a subscription. One way or another, the novelty was expected in 2022, but what happened happened and the Koreans had to adjust their plans.
However, they received OTTS. According to the document, the Russian-focused Ioniq 5 has two electric motors with a total output of 306 horsepower. Of. and 605 Nm of torque. The four-wheel drive hatchback accelerates to the first hundred in just 5.2 seconds and the top speed is limited to 185 km/h. As for the range on a single charge of 72.6 kilowatt-hour batteries, it is 430-460 km.
Most likely, the Ioniq 5 will not officially arrive in Russia in the foreseeable future, because Hyundai, like sister company Kia, has adopted a wait-and-see approach: production is halted, deliveries are frozen, dealers sell the rest of the cars. The final farewell to the country is a matter of time. However, those who liked the trendy electric hatchback may well get one: this model is already offered by several dealers operating under the parallel import scheme.
