Although we already know the size of the battery in 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5, only now we have official range and efficiency figures for the electric hatchback EPA. The numbers are generally impressive. Also curious is the fact that there are numbers for Ioniq 5 short range, which We were initially told it would not be available in the US
The most prominent version of the Ioniq 5 is the 225-horsepower single-engine version with a 77.4 kWh battery pack. It has a range of 303 miles, and it’s even the most efficient version of the car. It is rated at 114 mpg-e or 30 kWh per 100 miles. The addition of a second engine for 320 horsepower and all-wheel drive brings the range down to 256 miles. Performance drops to 98 mpg-e or 34 kWh per 100 miles.
Hyundai has previously said these long-range versions are the only versions aimed at the US, but the EPA has also evaluated the smaller 58 kWh battery model with a single motor. Range is at least 220 miles, but performance is average at 110 mpg-e or 31 kWh per 100 miles. No reviews appear for the dual motor and 58 kWh battery, which will be available in other markets. The EPA rating doesn’t guarantee that a model will be offered, but we’ll definitely be watching to see if Hyundai makes any announcements about it.
2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 goes on sale in 2022 in 17 states, with more availability after that.
