Hyundai: Ioniq 5 with eight-year warranty from 41,900 euros
The Korean automobile manufacturer Hyundai is extending its comprehensive warranty promise to the new, all-electric sub-brand Ioniq and is also selling the first model, Ioniq 5, with an eight-year warranty without mileage limit, just like the Hyundai Kona Electric and Hyundai Ioniq Electric. "We are pleased to be able to offer this unique quality promise for all pure electric models in our product portfolio. This makes the transition to an electric vehicle easier than ever,” said Jürgen Keller, Managing Director of Hyundai Motor Germany.
The new vehicle sets standards in the volume segment with its 800-volt technology for electric vehicles. The warranty package consists in detail of the five-year manufacturer's warranty without mileage limit, which the South Korean brand extends for free with an additional three-year new car warranty from the warranty insurance specialist Real Garant. The three-year new car warranty is valid for all 5-series models purchased from an authorized German Hyundai dealer. In addition to the eight-year warranty package, the Ioniq 5 also offers eight years of mobility guarantee with free breakdown and towing service and five safety checks in the first five years. The high-voltage battery comes with an eight-year warranty up to 160,000 kilometers.
Fast Breeder: 800-Volt for the Volume Segment
The Ioniq 5 is the first model based on the Hyundai Motor Group's Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) specifically developed for battery-electric vehicles, and at the same time the first of the new sub-brand. The electric CUV is available with two battery sizes – 58 and 72.6 kWh – and with either all-wheel or rear-wheel drive. Depending on the configuration, the E-vehicle achieves a system power of up to 225 kW/305 hp. According to the manufacturer, the power consumption is between 16.3 and 18.8 kWh/100 km, and the range is up to 485 kilometers according to the WLTP standard. With the 800-volt technology, both battery options can be charged from 10 to 80 percent of their capacity at appropriate fast-charging stations within 18 minutes. Additionally, the vehicle features a Vehicle-to-Load function, allowing the customer to power any electrical devices such as laptops or e-scooters with up to 230-volt alternating current while driving or stationary.
Inside, natural materials are used to emphasize the sustainability claim. Additionally, flexibly adjustable front seats with a relax function, allowing driver and passenger to recline at an ergonomically optimal angle, provide comfort. A 12.25-inch screen for the cockpit and the infotainment system each ensure contemporary connectivity of the model, which the manufacturer designates as an E-CUV due to its coupe shape. Both the center console and the rear seat can be moved to meet individual needs. As one of the few electric cars, the vehicle can also tow trailers with a permissible total weight of up to 1,600 kilograms. In Germany, the extensively equipped E-CUV is available from 41,900 euros. After deducting the BAFA innovation premium and the Hyundai manufacturer share, the price is 32,330 euros. The first vehicles will be delivered in the second quarter of 2021, initially with priority to customers of the limited Project 45 package. All other variants of the "CUV" will also celebrate their market launch in Germany in the summer.
