An angular exterior with a breezy interior – the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is the tale of two design approaches
Hyundai has unveiled its Ioniq 5 – the first model to come under the banner of the new ’Ioniq’ brand, which will feature more electric models with distinct designs. Influence has been drawn from the company’s first ever production car, the Hyundai Pony.
It is certainly boxy, like the Pony. The front end includes a clamshell bonnet that extends outwards to meet the front wheel arches and the V-shaped fascia.

Above it sits the four rectangular daytime running lights (DLRs) and a matt black middle section with an embedded sensor.
