Hyundai has already confirmed that the Ioniq 5 will offer customisable interior, including seat and storage spaces according to one's choices. The EV will offer Premium Relaxation Seat at the front which provides recline function with calf support and relaxation functionality. It also comes with electric adjustment and lumbar support. Its slim design can help to open space inside the cabin.

The second row also offers more in terms of features. The rear passengers will have control in their hands to adjust the co-driver seat from behind with a push of a button to open up more leg space. The seats also offer memory function with settings for up to three seat positions. To offer more customisation option, Hyundai is also offering a sliding centre console which can be moved by up to 140 mm.

Hyundai has not announced the size of battery that will be available with the India-spec Ioniq 5. In global markets, Hyundai offers the EV with two battery packs. The smaller 58 kWh battery pack offers range of around 385 kms on a single charge. There is also the 72.6 kWh battery pack which claims a range of up to 480 kms on a single charge. The batteries can be recharged up to 80 per cent in 18 minutes using a 350 kW DC fast charger.
