Hyundai’s new China-market electric sedan combines futuristic styling with a massive 27-inch 4K screen.
Earlier this spring, Hyundai revealed that it had revised its EV strategy for the Chinese market. Alongside a range of electric vehicles being developed by the Beijing-Hyundai joint venture—led by the new Hyundai Elexio crossover—the automaker is also launching a separate lineup under the globally recognized Ioniq name. In China, Ioniq will operate as a standalone sub-brand, and its first model is the new Ioniq V sedan.
The car was initially unveiled in April, and Hyundai has now released additional details and technical specifications.
Although Ioniq is being positioned as a separate brand in China, the Ioniq V still carries Hyundai’s familiar badge up front. Its futuristic design draws inspiration from the Venus concept and was created entirely by Hyundai’s Chinese design studio.
The front end features slim lighting elements and an aggressively sloped nose. In profile, the EV stands out thanks to its sculpted body sides and flush-mounted door handles. At the rear, split taillights are paired with a bumper featuring a prominent diffuser-like design.
The sedan measures 192.9 inches long, 74.4 inches wide, and 57.9 inches tall, while its wheelbase stretches 114.2 inches. Base models ride on 17-inch wheels wrapped in 215/55 tires.
Inside, the Ioniq V's dashboard incorporates a dramatic reverse-sloping center section and is dominated by a single 27-inch widescreen display with 4K resolution. The infotainment system runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8295 processor and integrates Chinese AI models Wenxin Yiyan and Doubao.
A compact digital instrument display sits at the base of the windshield, while Hyundai also includes its proprietary Cyber Eye head-up display system. The automaker says the sedan will feature an advanced autonomous driving suite developed by Chinese technology company Momenta.
The Ioniq V rides on Hyundai’s global E-GMP platform and utilizes an 800-volt electrical architecture.
The entry-level version is equipped with a single electric motor producing 190 horsepower and a 53.5-kWh lithium iron phosphate battery supplied by CATL. Weighing 3,763 pounds, the sedan reaches a top speed of 103 mph and offers a maximum range of approximately 336 miles on the Chinese test cycle.
More powerful versions will be available with a 228-horsepower motor and a larger 66.8-kWh battery pack. Hyundai says those models can travel up to 404 miles on a charge, although additional performance specifications have yet to be announced.
Production of the Ioniq V will be handled by the Beijing-Hyundai joint venture, with customer deliveries in China scheduled to begin during the second half of this year.
