Hyundai Ioniq 5 clinches Car and Driver’s EV of the Year Award

MANILA: The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 bagged Car and Driver’s EV of the Year Award.

Over three weeks, Car and Driver thoroughly tested 20 of the best electric vehicles. The top rank was claimed by the Ioniq 5.

“The Ioniq 5 is an attractive proposition for buyers who desire the performance, range, and charging speeds of far more expensive EVs at an accessible price,” Car and Driver Editor-in-Chief Tony Quiroga stated.

The winning model was determined through the criteria set by the Car and Driver editorial and testing teams in four key areas: Value, Mission Fulfillment, Technology Advancement, and Fun to Drive.

“Ioniq 5 successfully launched our new family of Ioniq electric vehicles and exclusive Electric-Global Modular Platform that allows for more interior space and greater performance,” Hyundai Motor North America President and Chief Executive Officer Jose Muñoz said. “Ioniq 5 continues to satisfy customers and we will build on this momentum with the launch of the Ioniq 6 and 7. Accolades like the Car and Driver EV of the Year are particularly rewarding to the teams that designed and engineered Ioniq 5 to deliver standout charging speed, innovative features, and driving dynamics.”
