Hyundai Ioniq V is a three-in-one car promising up to 600 km range. But you can't buy it in India. Here's why

Hyundai has taken the wraps off the Ioniq V in China at the Beijing Auto Show. The Hyundai Ioniq V comes as a production version of the Venus concept, which was showcased previously. The Ioniq V comes as a China-focused electric car. Interestingly, the production version of the Venus concept has skipped the usual year-long tease-and-wait strategy followed by the automakers to make the production version of concept vehicles.

Hyundai Ioniq V: Sports a unique design

Another key USP of the newly unveiled Hyundai Ioniq V is that it looks like a blend of three cars - Lamborghini Temerario at the front, Tesla Cybertruck at the side, and Toyota Prius at the back. The EV gets a wedgy nose, razor-thin lighting, and a tall crossover look. It comes launching a new styling philosophy from the OEM, which is dubbed Origin.

Dimensionally, the Hyundai Ioniq V measures 4,900 mm in length, 1,890 mm in width, and has a wheelbase of 2,900 mm. This translates into a similar footprint as the Ioniq 6. The OEM claims this will allow plenty of space to stretch out.

Hyundai Ioniq V: Offers a feature-packed proposition

The Hyundai Ioniq V comes packing a wide range of features. Inside the cabin, the dashboard is highlighted by a 27-inch ultra-thin 4K panoramic touchscreen infotainment screen, backed up by a head-up display that projects information directly into the driver’s line of sight. There’s also an eight-speaker audio system with Dolby Atmos and ambient lighting. Apart from that, the electric car also gets a wide range of parking sensors and cameras.

Hyundai Ioniq V: Over 600 km range on offer

Hyundai has not revealed any battery or powertrain specifications of the Ioniq V. However, the OEM has confirmed an 800-volt charging system, while the long-range version is claimed to deliver more than 600 km range on a single charge, which means the real-world range would be around 483 km on a single charge.
