Indian Vlogger Reveiws Hyundai Ioniq 5 – Exterior
The exterior of the Ioniq 5 is a great combination of retro styling with modern elements. The design of this mid-level trim is relatively understated, as far as the EVs go. However, there are the latest components like the cube-themed LED DRLs and reflector lights integrated into the sleek headlamp housing, the headlights are connected by a horizontal blacked-out glass panel, and there is a silver texture on the bumper with a silver skid plate don below to accentuate the SUV-ish characteristics. The sides host 19-inch alloy wheels which a dual-tone pattern, large wheel arches with black cladding along with plastic black side skirtings. The rear section has rectangular LED taillights with a glass panel in between to make it look appropriate for our era.

Being an electric car with a large wheelbase, there are acres of space inside the Ioniq 5. There is a large connected screen for infotainment and instrument cluster, a dashboard with a uniform pattern across the width neatly hiding the actual AC vents, a compact centre console with HVAC and multimedia controls, a large space between the front seats due to the absence of a gearbox panel, and a ton of modern convenience and connectivity features. The top trim gets a glass roof and leather upholstery to give the cabin a premium feel.
