Exterior

Distinctive. Iconic. Pure.

IONIQ 5’s pure design is a refreshing take on electric vehicles, stripping away complexity to celebrate clean lines and minimalistic structures. The unique clamshell bonnet spans the entire width of the car, minimising panel gaps for a clean, high-tech look. The LED lighting showcases its signature Parametric Pixels – unique jewel-like design elements that will feature on the exterior of all future IONIQ models.

      Interior

      Live, drive, work, relax.

      Inside the IONIQ 5, the lines between living space and moving space are being blurred. Our new Electric Vehicle platform gave us the opportunity to re-create the interior as a whole new in-car experience. A larger flat floor, highly adjustable front seats that can be fully reclined, and a flexible centre console that can be moved throughout the cabin, make for an extraordinary experience.

          Sustainability

          Innovative use of environmentally friendly materials.

          Environmentally friendly materials, like eco-processed leather and recycled yarn, are used extensively in the IONIQ 5. What’s more, raw materials extracted from sugar cane are used on the headliner, carpet and seat covers. A solution that is both recyclable and beautiful. The innovative use of natural materials contributes towards sustainability in our manufacturing processes, making the IONIQ 5 less reliant on oil-based products.
          1. For each Hyundai IONIQ 5 plastic bottles are shredded into chips for sustainable upholstery fabric

            Recycled bottles turned to fabric.

            For each IONIQ 5, a number of plastic bottles are shredded into plastic chips. Those chips are melted and spun into thread that makes an inviting, woven upholstery fabric.

          2. Hyundai uses bio components extracted from sugar cane and corn as sustainable materials for the IONIQ 5.

            Plants turned to components for seats and carpets.

            The seat, headlining and carpet fabric includes bio components extracted from sugar cane and corn, while leather used in the IONIQ 5’s interior is dyed using flaxseed oil.

            Using recycled PET bottles can inspire people to think about how products that are easily thrown away could be turned into something new. Of course, it would be better if PET bottles didn’t exist at all.
