Hyundai IONIQ 5 is a remarkable vehicle that stands out in a world dominated by cars with internal combustion engines. Its focus is on providing a technology-driven experience and passenger comfort during travel.
The global concern for the environment has become a pressing issue. The increasing emissions into the atmosphere have resulted in deteriorating air quality, negatively impacting human health and contributing to climate change. This situation is particularly alarming in densely populated urban areas.
As fossil energy reserves are depleting at an alarming rate due to their rapid exploitation for economic development, there is a need for a transition to new renewable energy sources. This transition is evident in the automotive industry.
Many prominent automakers worldwide, along with numerous start-ups, have turned to electric propulsion for their vehicles. These range from hybrid electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles that combine gasoline engines and electric motors, to fully electric vehicles powered by batteries or hydrogen fuel cells.
While the global market has been quick to embrace various electric vehicle models, with companies like Tesla, SAIC, Volkswagen, BYD, and Hyundai leading the way, the Vietnamese market lags behind as a developing country. VinFast was the first to introduce electric vehicles to the Vietnamese public, followed by the joint venture Hyundai Thanh Cong, which swiftly introduced the Hyundai IONIQ 5 – a vehicle that reflects the global development trend and represents a modern lifestyle.
Unlike other companies that have only introduced a few electric models, Hyundai Corporation, in 2020, announced the launch of a completely new brand called IONIQ, dedicated solely to electric vehicles. The name “IONIQ” derives from the combination of “ion” – representing electrical energy – and “unique” – symbolizing the uniqueness and modernity of the brand’s youthful target market segment.
With an ambitious goal of selling 1 million electric vehicles globally by 2025, Hyundai has already launched the IONIQ 5 and has plans to unveil the IONIQ 6 sedan and IONIQ 7 SUV in the near future.
Hyundai’s determination to excel is evident not only in its rapid product development but also in its numerous accolades. The Hyundai 45 concept and the IONIQ 5, introduced at the 2021 Frankfurt Motor Show, have already received prestigious awards such as Car of the Year 2022, Electric Car of the Year 2022, and Car Design of the Year 2022.
It is no coincidence that a brand as young as IONIQ can surpass its competitors and achieve such recognition. Now, let’s delve into the features and qualities that make the Hyundai IONIQ 5 truly “luxurious, sophisticated, and smooth.”
