Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors (HSDM) has unveiled the IONIQ 5 SUV with innovative features like a 230V plug in the second row seats, solar roof for additional range, complete safety features including the Smartsense suite and an ultra-fast charging speed.
Three variants, namely Lite, Plus, and Max are available and boast outstanding range, fast charging and a top speed of 185 km/h. The Ioniq 5 is the second electric vehicle (EV) to be rolled out in Malaysia by HSDM, after the Kona Electric launched last year.
Standard specifications include 19-inch rims for the Lite and Plus, 20-inch rims for the Max, LED head and tail lamps, 12.3-inch Digital Cluster and 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment monitor.
The IONIQ 5 Lite and Plus are rear-wheel drive and come with a 58 kWh battery pack with a WLTP range of up to 384km. The Max is all-wheel drive and has a 72.6 kWh battery pack which also gives a longer range, up to 430km (WLTP).

Built on Hyundai’s dedicated Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) architecture – Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), the IONIQ 5 supports both 400-V and 800-V charging infrastructures.
The platform offers 800-V charging capability as standard, along with 400-V charging, without the need for additional components or adapters.
