CarTell take
Driven by Simone
We have driven the Ioniq 5. Watch the full review for the verdict.
Why consider it
- 800V architecture and a genuine 350 kW DC peak.
- 10 to 80 percent in 18 minutes when the conditions are right, no other rival in this price band matches it.
What to know
- Pricing has crept above the Tesla Model Y on like-for-like specs, and the Standard Range 384 km WLTP claim looks short next to Long Range rivals at similar money.
Who it suits
EV first-timers and families who want 800V charging speed without paying Porsche money. The Long Range RWD is the buy.

Look at the alternatives if you want a cheaper entry (Tesla Model Y is sharper), you need 600 km plus of WLTP range (Ioniq 6 Long Range RWD wins), or you want a bigger boot for road trips (Model Y is 854 L).
