The Hyundai Ioniq V has entered China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) vehicle catalog, confirming the sedan will be offered in both battery electric (BEV) and extended-range electric (EREV) configurations.The filing, published May 9, 2026, also confirms 800V fast-charging architecture and Momenta-supplied driver assistance technology across the lineup — a regulatory step required before commercial sale in China can begin.Beijing Hyundai Ioniq V rear (MIIT)The MIIT listing came two weeks after Hyundai Motor Company (KRX: 005380) officially unveiled the Ioniq V at Auto China 2026 in Beijing on April 24, 2026. The vehicle is derived from the Venus Concept revealed earlier that month and represents the first production model under Hyundai's newly established Ioniq brand in China, a division built around its "In China, For China, To Global" strategy.Built on a platform jointly developed with BAIC Group (Beijing Automotive Group), the Ioniq V measures 4,900 mm (193 in) long, 1,890 mm (74 in) wide, and 1,470 mm (58 in) tall, with a 2,900 mm (114 in) wheelbase. The long-range BEV variant is rated at over 600 km (373 miles) on the CLTC cycle. Battery supply comes from CATL, while the 800V electrical architecture supports faster DC charging compared to the 400V systems common across most mass-market segments. Specific motor outputs, battery capacities, and charging speeds for either variant have not been disclosed.Beijing Hyundai Ioniq V catalog (MIIT)The cabin centers on a 27-inch ultra-thin 4K panoramic display paired with a Horizon head-up display (H-HUD), running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chipset. An LLM-based Smart AI Assistant handles voice control, and a Dolby Atmos-capable eight-speaker system is fitted as standard. First-row legroom measures 1,078 mm and second-row legroom 1,019 mm, with shoulder room of 1,502 mm front and 1,473 mm rear.Active safety hardware includes nine airbags and a Pedal Misapplication Safety Assist (PMSA) system, while Momenta powers the advanced driver assistance stack. The EREV variant adds an onboard range-extending generator to the battery-electric drivetrain. A launch date and pricing have not been announced. Beijing Hyundai has indicated a companion SUV model will follow in the first half of 2027, with both BEV and EREV options planned across a broader midsize-to-large product range. Designs for all Ioniq-branded vehicles are led by Hyundai's China Design Centre, with the company stating that models tailored for the Chinese market will eventually be exported globally.The regulatory filing reflects the urgency of Hyundai's China recovery effort. Beijing Hyundai recorded approximately 170,000 vehicle sales in 2025, down from a peak of more than one million units in 2016, as the joint venture was left without a competitive electrified lineup while domestic brands accelerated. Hyundai and BAIC have committed a combined investment of 8 billion CNY (c. $1.18 billion) to Beijing Hyundai, with plans for 20 new models over the next five years and a target of 500,000 units in annual sales.At Auto China 2026, CEO José Muñoz described the Ioniq V as part of "the most committed, the most ambitious, and the most exciting chapter" Hyundai has written in the Chinese market. Whether its dual-powertrain MIIT filing and 800V platform can close the gap with domestic rivals who have spent years refining their China-specific positioning will only become clear once Beijing Hyundai puts a price on the car.Conversion rate: 1 USD = 6.80 CNY as of May 9, 2026
