2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 facelift unveiled: What is new?
Hyundai has unveiled the all-electric Ioniq 5 and the performance-oriented Ioniq 5 N facelift, introducing substantial updates to both models. The enhancements include a subtly updated exterior, a larger battery pack for increased range, chassis and suspension tweaks, a mildly updated interior, and additional features. The existing pre-facelift model is currently available in India and is locally assembled at Hyundai Motor India's facility. Now, let us delve into the new features of the Ioniq 5 facelift.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 Facelift: Design
The most significant updates to the design of the Ioniq 5 facelift come in the form of reworked V-shape garnish and redesigned front and rear bumpers. As a result, the length has increased by 20mm to 4,655mm, while other dimensions remain unchanged at 1,890mm width, 1,605mm height, and a wheelbase of 3,000mm. Additionally, Hyundai has optimised aerodynamic efficiency of the EV with a new 50mm extended rear spoiler and new aerodynamic wheels.

On the interior, the improvements focus on usability and comfort, featuring a physical button on the upper part of the centre console for frequently used functions. Plus, the smartphone wireless charging pad has been relocated for better usability and the arrangement of infotainment and air conditioning controls has been optimised. Further, the new steering wheel design includes interactive pixel lights. The next-generation infotainment system, connected car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC), and wireless Over-The-Air (OTA) software updates now provide enhanced user experience.

Apart from that, the Ioniq 5 gets updated shock absorbers and cowl crossbar, doubled reinforcements at the rear wheel and lower part of the vehicle, and optimised motor noise control. In terms of safety, the vehicle features a reinforced body, front and rear doors, and B-pillar parts to enhance side collision protection. The eight-airbag system, including second-row side airbags, further contributes to safety.
