IONIQ 5 Standard Range AWD (MY21)

The Hyundai IONIQ 5 Standard Range AWD (MY21) is a 5-seat SUV with all-wheel drive, sold new from 2021 to 2022, when it cost €45,900 in Germany, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.1 seconds, quicker than 55% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 180 miles (290 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 16% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 219th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.3 mi/kWh (186 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 54 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 140 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 223 miles (359 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand in Germany, a 2021 example is estimated at €12,600–€15,600 and a 2022 one at €14,800–€17,400, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2021 car should still manage about 163 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
