2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5

Ioniq 5 is Hyundai's volume dedicated EV crossover — fast-charge architecture and a hatch-like cabin. Trade-offs versus Mach-E/EV6: design taste and dealer network; versus Model Y: charging ecosystem.

What's confirmed (EPA 2026)

Fetched MPGe combined examples:

  • Standard-range / efficiency peaks around 114–115 MPGe combined (city/hwy about 129–131 / 100)
  • AWD 19in about 106 MPGe (116/96); 20in about 98 MPGe (108/88)
  • XRT AWD about 94 MPGe (103/85)
  • Ioniq 5 N about 78 MPGe (84/72); Robo taxi row 71 MPGe (73/69)

Hyundai USA lists EPA-estimated all-electric range examples including up to 318 miles RWD (SE/SEL/Limited) and lower AWD/XRT/standard-range figures — use the window sticker for the exact trim.
