Hyundai Reveals IONIQ 5’s Living Space and Sustainable Interior

15 February 2021 | Hyundai Motor Company today released new images revealing the spacious and versatile interior of the much-anticipated IONIQ 5, which will make its virtual world premiere on 23 February 2021.

IONIQ 5 is the first fully electric model to utilize the Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP). This dedicated electric vehicle platform houses a flat battery that enables a spacious and customizable interior, offering personalized mobility with flexible configurations to comfortably accommodate both passengers and cargo.

Furnished with primarily eco-friendly materials and textiles, the interior design reflects consumers’ rising interest in personal transportation that supports well-being as well as demand for more ethical and sustainable products.

‘Living Space’ inspired interior opens a new dimension of design

IONIQ 5 sets itself apart from other midsize crossovers, especially those with internal combustion engines and conventional Steer-by-Wire systems, because the E-GMP allows for an elongated wheelbase and flat floor.

IONIQ 5’s driver and passengers can freely enter and exit the cabin on either side when parked in a narrow spot, because the flat floor allows the centre console to slide back and forth. This resulted in a fundamental rethink of the conventional centre console and to offer greater function than a static storage box. The newly developed ‘Universal Island’ replaces the console and becomes the centrepiece of the IONIQ 5’s living space experience.

The Zero-Gravity driver and front passenger seats are equipped with leg rests that allow passengers to ‘relax and recharge’ while their vehicle is being recharged. All seats can be operated and repositioned, making it easier for adults in the front to care for children and pets seated in the rear.
