“If you want to buy an electric car, but you don’t want Tesla, this car.”

The New York Times recently introduced the main functions of the Ioniq 5 through an Internet article titled “Hyundai Ioniq 5, Moving Toward the Future of Electric Vehicles,” predicting that Hyundai will become the dark horse of the electric vehicle industry.

The New York Times first explained the design competitiveness of the Ioniq 5.

“The Ioniq 5 homage to a vehicle designed by Georgeto Giugiaro, one of the best car designers of the 20th century,” he said. “Unlike the exterior with advanced artistic techniques, the interior is close to a familiar electric vehicle image. The wheelbase is about 4 inches longer than the Palisade, a large SUV, providing comfortable driving and spacious interior space.”

In particular, he stressed that the Ioniq 5’s indoor quietness, soft ride, and attractive driving sensibility provide a hopeful “taste” to come. The E-GMP-based powerful power performance is more powerful than the high-performance internal combustion engine SUV, and the comfortable suspension and soft and agile steering have achieved surprisingly cheerful driving performance.

It also called the superfast charging system, which can charge batteries from 10 percent to 80 percent in 18 minutes, the biggest “technical coup” to allow the Hyundai Motor model to dominate the road.

Moreover, he explained that it is possible to charge other electric vehicles as well as electric bicycles, outdoor equipment, and electronic products through the V2L function.

The New York Times also predicted that the Ioniq 5 is considering purchasing electric vehicles, but it will be an option for consumers who do not like Tesla.

The New York Times also highlighted recent achievements, with Hyundai Motor sweeping major awards in the automobile industry and making media headlines. Hyundai Motor and Kia sold nearly 1.5 million units in the U.S. last year, beating Honda to become the fifth largest automaker in the U.S., and said they are expanding the market with fuel-efficient cars and hybrid cars while maintaining loyal customers.
