The name ‘IONIQ’ is a combination of the terms “ion” and “unique”, highlighting the company’s vision of sustainable mobility. The Hyundai IONIQ 5 EV is built on the brand’s Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), which was exclusively developed for next-gen battery EVs to usher into a new era of clean mobility. It synchronizes eco-positive solutions within a lifestyle centric ecosystem. Through the modularity ingrained by Hyundai’s E-GMP platform, the IONIQ 5 EV will feature an innovative interior and exterior design. While its interiors feature eco-friendly materials at multiple touchpoints, the exteriors of this all-electric CUV present a fresh and dynamic appeal.
The E-GMP has been developed on 4 key pillars of modularity, reliability, usability and performance. It is based on the idea to introduce one platform that can facilitate many body types, featuring a modularized battery system and creating greater synergies with BEV component sharing. It features a low centre of gravity and uses ultra high strength steel and an 8-point battery mounting that ensures reliability within the system. The vehicle comes with a flat floor and flexible seating layout along with an innovative interior space that offers a sliding console and sliding 2nd-row seats.
