Exactly what has the EV automotive sector been lacking - apart from extended battery range? Here's our nomination: design character. Most family EVs are about as interesting to look at or sit in as a wet day at Brighton Beach: in lockdown. But this one, Hyundai's IONIQ 5, isn't. A decade or so back, the first combustion-era IONIQ model was the first car to be available in hybrid, electric and plug-in forms - a Prius rival that went further. This replacement EV design, originally launched in 2021, aimed to go further still, the founding member of Hyundai's IONIQ EV sub-brand, a line-up subsequently bolstered by the IONIQ 6 (a mid-sized saloon). Three years on in mid-2024, it received the package of mid-term updates that have created the car we'll be looking at here. As before, this IONIQ 5 is a difficult model to pigeonhole, not least because of its arresting looks, penned by Luc Donckerwolke, the man behind who styled most modern era Lamborghinis. It's a family hatch with aggressive SUV overtones. And it still makes quite a statement.
If the IONIQ 5 isn't enough to position Hyundai toe to toe with the most advanced offerings from European brand automotive design, it's hard to imagine what would be. It looks arresting and lacks nothing in terms of the latest EV technology - except perhaps for a truly Tesla-style extended battery range driving figure. But you can bet that Hyundai is working on that - and certainly improvements have been made as part of this mid-term update. Is any brand faster at translating advanced concept to reality? What's even more impressive is that it does so without diluting extreme stylistic expression to something more palatable. That's certainly not happened here. Park an IONIQ 5 in the High Street and people are going to look. Invite others to join you inside and passengers are going to comment. If that isn't the feel you're after with your new EV, lots of other brands will better satisfy you. But if it is, this car is one you need to try.
