Hyundai Ioniq 5 Offers 220 Miles Of Range For $39,700 While 303 Mile Variant Will Set You Back $43,650

Hyundai has announced U.S. pricing for the 2022 Ioniq 5 and confirmed plans for an entry-level variant with a smaller 58 kWh battery pack.

Starting with the latter, the Ioniq 5 SE Standard Range will use the aforementioned battery as well as a rear-mounted electric motor that produces 168 hp (125 kW / 170 PS). This setup will enable the model to travel up to 220 miles (354 km) on a single charge.

While the range and performance aren’t remarkable, the model starts at $39,700 and drops to $32,200 when the $7,500 federal tax credit is factored in. Unfortunately, fans will have to wait a bit longer to get one as the Ioniq 5 SE Standard Range won’t arrive until next spring.
