The Hyundai Ioniq 5 quickly became a successful product in India. Now, the South Korean automaker has introduced the facelifted version of the Ioniq 5. Along with that, the automaker also introduced the Ioniq 5 N Line, which is positioned just below the high-performance Ioniq 5 N.

Exterior

In terms of design, the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 facelift retains its iconic design. However, designers have introduced subtle changes to its exterior, resulting in a more significant impact on its overall design.

The most noticeable changes on the facelifted model are its new front and rear bumpers. Furthermore, the updated model now uses cameras instead of ORVMs and also sports a 50mm larger rear spoiler for better aerodynamics.

Interior

The interior of the updated Hyundai Ioniq 5 features plenty of upgrades. Noticeable changes include the introduction of physical buttons for frequently used controls, a repositioned wireless charging pad, and a revised touch-sensitive panel for climate control. The model also features connected car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) capable of OTA updates.

Safety

In terms of safety, the updated Ioniq 5 introduces Hands-On Detection (HOD) steering wheel, enhanced Lane Keeping Assist, Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 (RSPA 2), and comprehensive Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist (PCA-F/S/R).

Additional updates on the Ioniq 5 facelift include an improved Front-Lighting System (IFS), Digital Key 2, Built-In Cam 2, and remote folding for the second-row seats, which contribute to the vehicle's safety and convenience.

N Line

This new variant distinguishes itself with 20-inch aluminium wheels, sporty side skirts, and unique bumpers adorned with N Line badging, offering a compelling option for those seeking a blend of performance and style.

Powertrain

The facelifted Ioniq 5 not only brings aesthetic and technological enhancements but also receives a boost in the powertrain department. The battery capacity has been increased to 84kWh from the previous 77.4 kWh, resulting in improved range.

Thoughts About Hyundai Launching The Updated Ioniq 5

Hyundai India is expected to introduce this updated model to the Indian market as a CKD unit. Moreover, we expect the updated model to be very successful in India, just like its predecessor.
