Shah Rukh Khan takes delivery of a swanky new Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV

Hyundai Motor India on Monday announced that it had delivered the 1,100th unit of its Ioniq 5 in India to Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan. Shah Rukh Khan is the brand ambassador for Hyundai in the country and has been associated with the South Korean brand since the days of the Santro, well over two decades ago.

Shah Rukh Khan has been associated with Hyundai in India for around 25 years and was at the launch event of Ioniq 5 EV (electric vehicle) at Auto Expo 2023 in Greater Noida earlier this year. The company claims that it has received a very strong response for the Ioniq 5 EV since its official launch in the country, notching up 1,000 in sales in a few months.

While Shah Rukh Khan has a massive garage with some of the priciest and most luxurious cars in the world, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 now becomes his first all-electric car. “I am honoured to receive the all-electric SUV Hyundai IONIQ 5. This is my fist ever EV and I am glad it is a Hyundai," Shah Rukh Khan said “Ioniq 5 is a delight to look at with its unique design and exceptional features. It is unbelievable that this EV marvel by Hyundai has surpassed its expectations and sold over 1000 units this year. Being the oldest member of the Hyundai Motor India family, our 25 year long journey has been really fruitful for both me and the brand."
