Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 EV has been making waves recently with its clean exterior and surprisingly large size, but not many people have had the chance to take a look at the vehicle’s interior beyond some press photos. That changes now, as this new video presented by Charlie Min from Asian Petrolhead takes us on an in-depth tour.
First up is the rear, which is surprisingly spacious. The back seats are heated and power operated and can move 5 inches forwards or backwards to meet passenger or cargo capacity needs. The rear also features air vents on the B-pillars and sun shades over the windows, and the doors have ambient lighting in the arm rests as well as the speakers. Lastly, on the back of the center console and under the seats are USB fast chargers and standard electrical outlets, the latter of which are capable of powering household appliances.

Min then moves on to the front, where a sunroof and completely flat floor create an airy feeling. Upholstery options come in a wide variety of eco-friendly materials, including some recyclable ones. On the dashboard lie two 12.3-inch screens, one for the gauge cluster and one for the infotainment. They are joined by screens for the virtual side mirrors that replace the traditional ones, which nest in the corners of the dashboard.
On to the controls, there’s a refreshing amount of physical buttons and dials, especially for an EV where the trend seems to be headed in the direction of all-encompassing screens. Another interesting quirk in the interior is its center console. Similar to the rear seats, it can slide 5 inches forwards or backwards, allowing for different configurations that can better suit either the front or rear occupants. It also features two USB fast chargers and a wireless charging pad in addition to two cupholders and a flip-up arm rest with built-in storage.

Overall, the Ioniq 5’s interior seems to do a very good job at balancing usefulness with simplicity while still remaining comfortable and spacious. We must note, though, that this is a Korean-market example, so it is not yet clear if all of its features will make it to other markets.
