Hyundai Ioniq 5: TEST on the highway. 338 km for 72,6 kWh forward, 278 km for 58 kWh forward. This is also 100 km / h.

Reliable Nextmove has tested the Hyundai Ioniq 5 in three of the most reasonable configurations. The range of the cars was tested at 100 and 130 km / h, and to make the experiment more meaningful, it was supplemented by a Kia e-Niro 64 kWh (C-SUV), riding on serial 17-inch wheels.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 - range test in ideal conditions

Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a crossover in the D-SUV segment. As the manufacturer promises, he offers:

• 384 WLTP units 58 kWh version with 125 kW (170 hp) engine driving the rear wheels; the price of this option starts at PLN 189,
• 481 WLTP units 72,6 kWh version with 160 kW (218 hp) engine driving the rear wheels; price from PLN 203,
• 430 WLTP units 72,6 kWh version with two 225 kW (306 hp) motors driving both axles (1 + 1); price from 239 zlotys.

The variant with the largest battery and rear-wheel drive - and therefore theoretically the best range - additionally had the smallest 19-inch wheels. This should help him break records on a single charge. In turn, the 5 kWh RWD version of the Ioniq 58 can be considered the functional equivalent of the Skoda Enyaq iV 60 (58 kWh, 150 kW, RWD). The Nextmove channel creator was the most powerful option.

The test was conducted under near-ideal conditions with an external temperature of 22 degrees Celsius. The speeds of 100 and 130 km / h were chosen because the former allowed one to get closer to the WLTP value (the resulting ranges should be close to the driving mode in mixed mode), while the latter corresponded to typical highway speeds. In both cases, it was "I try to keep x km / h", i.e. real motorway traffic with its restrictions.

Significant ranges, great load times

He was pretty awesome noise and strange echo in the cabin, heard at a speed of 130 km / h... The range of vehicles was as follows:

• Hyundai Ioniq 5 72,6 kWh rear-wheel drive – 436 km at 100 km/h, 338 km at 130 km / h,
• Hyundai Ioniq 5 72,6 kWh all wheel drive – 416 km at 100 km/h, 325 km at 130 km / h,
• Hyundai Ioniq 5 58 kWh rear-wheel drive – 371 km at 100 km/h, 278 km at 130 km / h,
• Kia e-Niro 64 kWh (reference) – 450 km at 100 km/h, 366 km at 130 km/h.

When connected to the 350 kW ultra-fast charger, the Ioniqi 5 72,6 kWh performed the best. From 17-20 percent up to 80 percent replenish their energy in about 16 minutes 25 seconds, which is a fantastic result... The slower was the Hyundai Ioniq 5 58 kWh, which charged from 2 to 80 percent in 20:05 minutes (still great). At the same time, we estimate that the Kia e-Niro has reached about 50 percent.

So when we buy the Ioniq 5 over the Kii e-Niro, we get:

• a larger battery (for the 72,6 kWh option),
• more modern drive,
• 800 V setting allowing to jump over 200 kW on HPC charging stations (high-power charging, 350 kW),
• very short travel breaks for charging if we use fast chargers,
• a more spacious interior and a larger car per segment.

We will pay for all this with a slightly worse range and a higher price. It is also worth adding that the real range of the Kii EV6 should be larger due to the larger battery, so if we are primarily interested in the technology of the E-GMP platform, the shortest possible stops for charging with the maximum range on the battery. , Kia EV6 should be a better choice than Hyundai Ioniq 5.
