The Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV certainly raised eyebrows with its stunning retro exterior and modern tech. Already available in many international markets, the Ioniq 5 is yet to make it to our shores. In recent developments, the Ioniq 5 was spotted testing in India covered with camouflage.
We believe Hyundai has plans of launching a big list of cars in India this year. It includes the facelift versions of the Venue, Creta, Tucson, Kona Electric and possibly the Ioniq 5 EV. So let’s get into the details we know.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV spied in India
The electric vehicle segment is gradually growing in India with the addition of many new players. It seems logical to increase your EV portfolio right now and Hyundai is doing exactly the same. With the Kona Electric already in sale, they intend to add the Ioniq 5 EV as well.
The Ioniq 5 EV was spotted with heavy camo in the outskirts of Chennai where the Hyundai production plant is located. From the spy pics we have, we can only see the taillights and the wheel rims. The pics don’t show a glimpse of the Ioniq 5 interior.

Unlike Kona Electric, the Ioniq 5 EV is built on the company’s E-GMP platform. In fact, it is the first car to be produced under Hyundai’s dedicated EV platform.
