- The 30-second video touches on key differentiators for the upcoming IONIQ 5
- Hyundai will launch IONIQ 5 in early 2021 as the first car to sit on the recently unveiled E-GMP
SEOUL, December 9, 2020ย โ Hyundai Motor Company today revealed a teaser video (https://www.youtube.com/HyundaiWorldwide) for the upcoming IONIQ 5, the first dedicated EV in the new IONIQ lineup brand launching in early 2021.
Based on Hyundaiโs โ45โ EV concept, IONIQ 5 will be the first car mated with the recently revealed Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), a dedicated battery electric vehicle (BEV) architecture.
The 30-second video, titled โThe New Horizon of EV,โ takes inspiration from the all-new IONIQ 5โs yet-to-be-revealed design details, showing pixels and dots converging in a white space representative of a new era of EV.
The teaser aims to build anticipation and spark curiosity about IONIQ 5 by emphasizing three โextrasโ to be offered by the all-new model. โExtra Power for Lifeโ calls attention to IONIQ 5โs vehicle-to-load (V2L) bi-directional charging capability. โExtra Time for Youโ highlights its fast-charging capability. โExtraordinary Experiencesโ hints at the BEVโs soon-to-be-announced array of features.
The videoโs release follows Hyundaiโs announcement, made in August 2020, that it will launch a dedicated BEV lineup brand IONIQ in its bid to become one of the worldโs top EV manufacturers. Under IONIQ, Hyundai will launch a range of EVs, including IONIQ 5, a midsize CUV in early 2021; IONIQ 6, a sedan; followed by IONIQ 7, a large SUV.
To facilitate its EV plans, Hyundai Motor Group recently unveiled E-GMP, the architecture that will underpin all of its new dedicated BEVs. The platform offers increased development flexibility, powerful driving performance, increased driving range, strengthened safety features, and more interior space for occupants and luggage.
