The Ioniq 5 starts at $41,450 for the base SE Standard Range, but if you want the dual-motor AWD setup, you’ll be paying at least $49k in SE trim. SEL trims are a little better equipped, and the Limited has an MSRP of $52,600 in RWD format and $56,500 for AWD, as with our tester, which is pretty good value for the money. Dropping around $57k on a top-of-the-range stylish and fun-to-drive car isn’t crazy money, particularly when you consider a gas-powered BMW X5 starts at around $65,000.
The Ioniq 5 is feature-laden, although not including wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto is an odd decision, and we were surprised there’s not more space in the frunk. The frunk has room for less than one cubic foot, but it isn’t a dealbreaker since the trunk can still hold between 27.2 and 59.3 cubes. The lack of wireless compatibility with the two most popular phones on the planet may be for some.
If you’re thinking about an all-electric compact crossover and this small gripe is something you can live with, you should definitely check out the Mustang Mach-E and Kia EV6 as well. Then, have a look at what the Ioniq 5 has to offer – and let us know which color you chose for yours.
