Battery Capacity: 84.0 kWh (Lithium-Ion)
The updated IONIQ 5 features an upgraded 84.0 kWh high-voltage lithium-ion battery pack, a significant increase from the previous 77.4 kWh version. This battery utilizes advanced NCM (Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese) chemistry to achieve a WLTP range of up to 570 km. It operates at a nominal voltage of 697V, enabling the vehicle to utilize 350 kW DC ultra-fast chargers.
Max Power: 320 bhp (AWD) / 225 bhp (RWD)
In its dual-motor All-Wheel Drive (AWD) configuration, the IONIQ 5 produces a combined output of 320 bhp (approx. 239 kW). The Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) variant features a single rear-mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) generating 225 bhp. These motors are oil-cooled and integrated with the inverter and transmission into a single compact housing for maximum efficiency.
Max Torque: 605 Nm (AWD) / 350 Nm (RWD)
The electric motors provide instantaneous torque from 0 RPM. The AWD version delivers a massive 605 Nm of torque, split between the front and rear motors, while the RWD version provides a steady 350 Nm. This allows for effortless overtaking and a punchy driving experience typical of high-end EVs.
0-100 km/h: 5.1 Seconds (AWD) / 7.4 Seconds (RWD)
Thanks to the instant torque delivery of the E-GMP platform, the IONIQ 5 AWD can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.1 seconds. The RWD variant, optimized for range, completes the same sprint in approximately 7.4 seconds. These figures rival many traditional sports sedans, showcasing the performance potential of dedicated EV platforms.
Top Speed: 185 km/h
The top speed for all standard IONIQ 5 variants is electronically governed at 185 km/h (115 mph). This limitation is standard for non-performance EVs to preserve battery health and maintain efficiency at high speeds, where aerodynamic drag significantly increases energy consumption.
