◇ Design with respect for 45 years of Hyundai car design that started as a pony
Hyundai Motor Company presents a new design of exclusive electric vehicles and a fundamental change in the way automobiles experience in the electric vehicle era through Ioniq 5. The exterior of the IONIQ 5 sheds light on Hyundai’s design heritage, which began as a pony, and realized a timeless design that connects from the past to the present and the future.
This means that just as Pony, which was first unveiled in 1974, was an icon that marks the beginning of the Korean automobile industry, the Ioniq 5, which incorporates Hyundai’s challenging spirit represented by Pony into its design, is also the first exclusive electric car to lead the new electric car era.
The most essential design element of IONIQ 5 is’Parametric Pixel’. Parametric is a geometric algorithm that maximizes digital design technology (a shape that naturally occurs through data or equations) as a design element.It is a line created through digital data rather than a traditional drawing or sketch. It is reflected in the car design by using faces, angles and shapes.
Parametric pixels are the differentiated design elements of IONIQ 5 that shape the pixels, the smallest unit of an image, and contain the meaning of passing through generations by fusion of analog and digital.
Parametric pixels are applied to electric charging ports as well as headlights, taillights and wheels, showing the unique design identity of the IONIQ 5, as well as providing customers with the creativity, pleasure, and positive experiences that future mobility will bring.
The front of the IONIQ 5 is impressive with thin headlights located long to the left and right, and a clamshell hood that covers the entire upper part of Hyundai Motor’s first minimizes the parting line that meets the face and divides it into a line, creating a refined yet high-tech image. Finished. The clamshell hood is a hood that reflects the design that can be folded and unfolded like a seashell, and is composed of a single panel by integrating the hood and fender parts.
Along with this, the’Intelligent Air Flow Controller (AAF, Active Air Flap)’ at the bottom of the front bumper reduces air resistance by smoothing the air flow during driving, contributing to extending the mileage and giving a dynamic feel. The intelligent airflow controller is a device that controls airflow through an air flap (air cover) at the bottom of the vehicle’s front bumper and efficiently cools the internal parts of the vehicle, helping to improve fuel economy.
On the side, based on a silhouette reminiscent of a pony, the character line stretched in a straight line and the longest axis distance of 3000mm in its class catch the eye.The 20-inch wheel with aerodynamic structure and the largest diameter of Hyundai’s electric vehicle is the perfect electric vehicle ratio. Show off.
◇ Innovative interior space that breaks the boundaries between living and moving
The interior of IONIQ 5 has been reborn as an innovative space that breaks the boundaries between life and movement by reflecting the theme of a comfortable living space in an optimized design through the application of E-GMP.
Ioniq 5 provides a spacious occupant living space with a flat floor made possible by applying a platform exclusively for electric vehicles and a long axis distance at a glance, as well as improving the convenience of indoor movement.
The highlight of the indoor space utilization is’Universal Island’. Universal Island, located in the center console seat of the existing internal combustion engine, has a high-speed smartphone wireless charging system of 15W level, has a tray structure divided up and down, and the lower tray can store luggage such as laptops and handbags.
In addition, it is possible to move up to 140mm rearward, so not only the first row but also the second row passengers can be used according to the purpose.
In addition, if you use the first-row driver and passenger seat relaxation comfort seats (including legrests) that create a zero-gravity posture by adjusting the seat backrest and cushion angle, and the two-row electric sliding seats that can move up to 135mm forward, the interior of the Ionic 5 It can be transformed into a space for rest, work, and leisure.
The interior design that enhances space utilization and the ample storage space are also noticeable. Ionic 5 is a slim cockpit by moving the position of the blower (blower) that was with the heater, and a slim design seat for electric vehicles that has reduced the seat thickness by about 30% compared to the existing internal combustion engine vehicle, which is made of ultra-high-strength material. Improved.
◇ Application of eco-friendly materials and colors for sustainability
Hyundai Motor Company delivers differentiated sensibility by applying eco-friendly materials and colors that reflect the vision of the IONIQ brand, sustainability, to IONIQ 5.
The interior of the IONIQ 5 uses eco-friendly and recycled materials in various places. The door trim, door switches, and crash pads are painted with bio-oil components extracted from plants such as rape flowers and corn, and the sheet is made of fabric containing yarn made using bio-components extracted from sugar cane and corn.
In addition, fabrics made from yarns made by processing recycled transparent PET bottles were applied to the seats and door armrests (armrests), and paper materials with the lightness of paper and natural appearance were used for the door garnish.
In addition, by using eco-friendly processes such as the use of vegetable oils from the leather dyeing process for sheet manufacturing, it has enabled a sustainable method to be applied in a wider variety of areas.
◇ Dynamic and efficient driving performance and enhanced crash safety of exclusive electric vehicles
Hyundai Motor Company operates the Ioniq 5 in two models, a long range with a 72.6 kWh battery and a standard with a 58.0 kWh battery.
The maximum driving distance for a single charge is 410 to 430 km based on the long-range rear-wheel drive model (the result of our laboratory as measured by a domestic certification method), and in the case of 350 kW super fast charging, 80% of the battery capacity is charged within 18 minutes and 5 minutes It can travel up to 100 km on charging (based on European certification WLTP).
In addition, Hyundai Motor Company is equipped with a Disconnector Actuator System (DAS) that can separate or connect the motor and drive shaft according to the driving situation, and freely switch between 2WD and 4WD driving methods, minimizing unnecessary power loss and enabling efficient driving. Made it possible.
In addition, with the application of E-GMP, the heaviest battery is placed in the lower center of the vehicle, lowering the center of gravity and placing it in the center, as well as applying the rear 5-link suspension to the R-MDPS (rack-driven power steering) for handling and ride comfort. All of the basic performance that a car should have, such as driving stability, has improved.
In addition, specifications for efficient electric vehicle driving were installed in Ioniq 5. The heat pump system is a technology that minimizes the reduction of the driving distance of an electric vehicle, which is greatly affected by winter temperatures, and uses waste heat generated from electric parts such as drive motors for indoor heating to minimize battery power consumption.
