2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 facelift unveiled: What is new?
Hyundai has unveiled the all-electric Ioniq 5 and the performance-oriented Ioniq 5 N facelift, introducing substantial updates to both models. The enhancements include a subtly updated exterior, a larger battery pack for increased range, chassis and suspension tweaks, a mildly updated interior, and additional features. The existing pre-facelift model is currently available in India and is locally assembled at Hyundai Motor India's facility. Now, let us delve into the new features of the Ioniq 5 facelift.
The most significant updates to the design of the Ioniq 5 facelift come in the form of reworked V-shape garnish and redesigned front and rear bumpers. As a result, the length has increased by 20mm to 4,655mm, while other dimensions remain unchanged at 1,890mm width, 1,605mm height, and a wheelbase of 3,000mm. Additionally, Hyundai has optimised aerodynamic efficiency of the EV with a new 50mm extended rear spoiler and new aerodynamic wheels.
