General Motors is planning on launching 30 new electric vehicles by 2025, making for a big push into several battery-powered segments. However, GM won’t be alone – it’ll have to compete with a variety of rivals, including the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 set to launch this fall.
We covered the debut of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 back in February. To note, the Hyundai Ioniq has a 118.1-inch wheelbase, making it quite a bit bigger than the subcompact 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV, which has a 105.2-inch wheelbase.
Let’s jump right into the critical technical info. The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is offered with a few different powertrain options, including a 77.4-kWh battery juicing either a rear-mounted motor, or front and rear motors, the latter of which makes the crossover all-wheel drive. Opting for the single-motor layout provides 225 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, while the all-wheel drive option produces a combined 320 horsepower and 446 pound-feet of torque. The sprint to 60 mph takes less than 5 seconds in the latter all-wheel drive configuration.
As for range per charge, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 offers 300 miles with a single-motor powertrain, and 269 miles with the dual-motor setup. Opt into the range-topping Limited AWD, and range-per-charge is set at 244 miles. Top speed across the line is 115 mph, with a trailering capacity of 1,500 pounds.
Both 400-V and 800-V charging options are offered. Plugged into a 350-kW source, charging up from 10 percent to 80 percent takes 18 minutes, while a 10.9-kW source provides a full charge in an estimated 6 hours, 43 minutes.
Notably, Hyundai recently partnered with Electrify America to provide customers with DC Fast charging access through the Electrify America app. Hyundai Ioniq 5 customers are offered unlimited 30-minute charge sessions for two years from the purchase date.
The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq will go on sale this fall with limited availability in the 10 zero-emissions vehicle states (California, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont), as well as Texas, Florida, Illinois, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Arizona. A broader rollout is set to follow in 2022.

It's a very nice vehicle, but all current-gen EVs will look very dated in 5-7 years when next-gen EV technology is released.
idk, this car looks futuristic with a nice blend of retro. I've seen it being tested in Las Vegas, on S Las Vegas Blvd past the Las Vegas Sign, and it proceeded to turn East onto Sunset Blvd. It looks pretty awesome.
Oh, I absolutely agree on the design, especially in black. I am referring to the range, power, charging speed, etc. Those things ought to progress rapidly.
In 5 to 7 years, all cars will look dated.
That's kind of how it works.
I shouldn't have said "look." That was a poor word to use here. I meant they will become obsolete much quicker like all other tech gadgets do. A 5 year old ICE car is far more current than a 5 year old smartphone. It will be like the latter with EVs.
I get what you're saying. I think they will be outdated much faster than a 5 to 7 year old ICE, no question. They are just advancing so fast right now.
Part of why I wouldn't buy one right now...
I like the outside, especially with the body colors around the wheels and bottom. So much better than the ugly black plastics. Too bad the new Bolt/Bolt EUV doesn't have body colors like that. I'd take a pass on the dash/screen however. But what really strikes me? Looks like they are moving this from a car-like style to a CUV style. But it still looks good.
A competitor to GM EV?
What Chevrolet EV comes anywhere remotely close to the Ionic 5
This is really great tech. It charges faster than current Battery Tech Tesla vehicles. No clue about the upcoming 4680 cells though. But come on GM has nothing fo this.
Love the exterior Design but not a fan of the interior (prefer the Kia version interior)
Like I have been saying for two years now....WHERE IS THE CHEVROLET VERSION?
Hyundai
Kia
Nissan
Volkswagon
Ford
Even freaking ANTI BEV Toyota has announced and showcased their upcoming EV CUV.
And Chevrolet is nowhere to be found. Not even an upcoming Reveal Date to look forward to something.
If GM allows Toyota to leapfrog Chevrolet when Toyota literally just started in the EV Segment I will be extremely livid. This was GM's chance to finally surpass Honda, Nissan, and Toyota and unfortunately nobody is surprised that they have already dropped the Ball. GM LETS GOOOOOOOOOO!!!
You probably don't want to hear about the Bolt and Bolt EUV then I guess?
Sadly, that's what they have.
@Nate
I like that GM sells the Bolt and the Bolt EUV but those are basically glorified City Cars. It has extremely low DC Fast Charging so a Road Trip is pretty much out o f the question for most people. GM really dropped the Ball though without having an EV for the masses for Chevrolet in the Midsize CUV segment. That is where the Heart of the Market will be.
the day no auto manufacturers are forced to pay for ev credits from tesla will be one to celebrate.
The Ponzi scheme know as Tesla. Subsidies for BEVs only benefit the affluent by taking advantage of the less affluent. U.S. personal cars produce only 2.4 percent of global emissions. There are so many other infrastructure issues that should be handled before force feeding the public a product with the sole intent to increase profit margins.
For those of you that just blindly follow the EPA breakdown of greenhouse gas emissions here is an old article the helps you better understand the misleading pie chart on the EPA website. reason . org/ commentary/cars-disproportionately-blamed/
You’re an idiot.
Lol says the person who thinks putting $3k into a Sonic makes it a Volkswagen R competitor... I'll take that as a compliment from someone as dumb as you.
The Sonic /is/ a worthy competitor to the Golf R. Lower the suspension, and do everything I did, and it keeps the Golf R in a Very Close Range. The Base LS Sonic for 2019-2020yrs, can keep up, and run neck to neck with a Golf R, with Modifications and come in cheaper. The engine is more reliable as well, with it being cast iron! Don’t mess with an EcoTec 😂
As always, follow the money/
Excellent styling with all the elements working together. The Bolt's styling elements instead look like they are competing with each other for attention.
I also like the long wheelbase which helps make the interior roomier. There is virtually no overhang on the rear. Auto styling is going to undergo some big changes due to the different packaging needs an electric drivetrain has than do ICE vehicles demand. This Hyundai is taking advantage of the changes in a beautiful way.
It looks like the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a winner if the price is right. The article did not tell us the price. What is the price going to be? Also, I doubt if the 77.4-kWh battery will be able to go 300 miles. So I assume the 300 mile range version will be an upgrade and cost a lot more.
The thing with Hyundai/Kia is availability. The Kona was supposed to rock the market in the US, but it is barely a scratch.
I just found out on the Hyundai website that the Hyundai Ioniq 5's battery platform is 800 volts which is better than GM's Ultium battery platform for cars at 400 volts. Currently GM will only given 800 volt batteries to it's future trucks. GM, you better step it up and give your cars like the Lyriq an 800 volt battery which would bump up the maximum charging rate to 300-350 kW instead of the current 190 kW for the Lyriq. People are going to demand faster charging rates. Come on GM stop lagging behind and start becoming a leader again. You still have time to change the 2023 Lyriq's battery to an 800 volt architecture before it's release the first half of next year to compete with the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 which will be released THIS FALL! Oh, and how is it that Hyundai is coming out with a full size SUV BEV before GM's Lyriq and Hyundai's will charge much faster than the Lyriq?! Stop falling behind and get going!
800 volts doesn't buy you anything unless you plan on charging greater than 250kW. The Lyriq will charge at over 200kWh just fine with a 400-volt system. The right tool for the right purpose. Putting 350kW into a 100kWh battery pack requires a lot of cooling which just increases the cost.
The 800 volt system will still charge faster though. That's how they are pulling off that 18 minute recharge time.
Fast recharge time is what it will take to get people into EVs. Nobody wants to sit around waiting for their car to charge on a longer trip.
Looing like the all girl team is behind the 8 ball again. Let's put the "G" back in "M".
