Hyundai Ioniq 5 included in Good Housekeeping’s 2023 Best New Family Cars

MANILA: The Hyundai Ioniq 5 was hailed as the Best Electric Crossover Vehicle for Good Housekeeping's 2023 Best New Family Cars.

Good Housekeeping's Best New Family Cars included vehicle models from different categories, including trucks, sedans, minivans, and crossover SUVs. The winners were chosen after thorough testing and feedback from real-world families and industry experts at Car and Driver. On this year's list, there were more electric vehicles than ever before.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 was recognized for its unique exterior and interior design elements as well as its fast charging capabilities.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is the first model in Hyundai’s Ioniq brand. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 features a long wheelbase, eco-friendly interior features, modern driver assistance and safety features, and a powerful performance with ultra-fast charging and a Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function.

Since its debut in February 2021, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 has received a lot of praise for its innovative design and remarkable all-around performance, as evidenced by a number of prestigious accolades.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 exhibits a unique midsize crossover utility vehicle exterior look, chiseled with clean and edgy linear accents.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5’s front features Hyundai’s first clamshell hood that is developed with fewer panel gaps for better aerodynamics. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 also sports a striking front bumper, which is accentuated by unique V-shaped daytime running lights. It is also equipped with auto flush door handles and Hyundai's “Parametric Dynamics” style, which was derived from the Hyundai Tucson.

On the inside, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 features the “Living Space” design, which is designed to provide a more flexible room inside the cabin. Its longer-than-usual wheelbase provides extra legroom for a more comfortable ride.

The second-row seats get "slide-forward" and folding functions to provide more trunk space if needed. If the seats are fully folded, the Hyundai Ioniq 5’s standard 531-liter luggage space can be expanded to almost 1,600 liters. The vehicle also provides a front trunk space that can accommodate a maximum cargo of 57 liters.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 gets a wide and customizable dual cockpit with a 12-inch touchscreen infotainment display and a 12-inch digital gauge cluster.

The battery electric vehicle architecture of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is compatible with 400V and 800V charging stations. It features a multi-charging system that runs the motor and inverter to deliver 400V to 800V for constant charging compatibility.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 can be charged from 10% to 80% within 18 minutes when using a 350kW charger. According to WLTP, the vehicle can be charged for only five minutes to reach 100km.

With the V2L function, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 can charge up to 3.6kW of power on electric bicycles, scooters, camping equipment, and any electric devices. The charging ports are situated under the second-row seats and on the vehicle exterior. High-powered electric devices can be charged through a converter.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 also comes standard with Hyundai SmartSense, a set of modern driver assistance features that enhances the vehicle’s safety and convenience level.

“We are thrilled to have the Ioniq 5 included as one of Good Housekeeping’s Best New Family Cars for 2023. Purchasing a new car is one of the biggest decisions a family can make, and we are proud to see more electric vehicles prominently featured on this list. With its roomy interior and exceptional charge range, the Ioniq 5 is the perfect vehicle for families no matter where their journey takes them,” Hyundai Motor North America Product Planning and Mobility Strategy Director Ricky Lao stated.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 made its Philippine debut last September at the Philippine International Motor Show 2022. Pricing of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 ranges from P3.068 million to P3.698 million. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is available in four colors: Phantom Black Pearl, Cyber Gray Metallic, Atlas White, and Gravity Gold Matte.

Every purchase of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 comes with a five-year or 200,000km warranty, an eight-year or 160,000km high voltage battery warranty, and a five-year or 75,000km free maintenance.
