Hyundai’s Ioniq V electric hatch comes with a choice of 188- or 225-hp motors. The V was revealed at last month’s Beijing Auto Show and is designed for China. It’s one of 20 new models Hyundai will launch in China over the next five years. Hyundai’s sharp-edged, China-only Ioniq V unveiled in Beijing last month looks so different from the Ioniqs we get in the West that it’s only natural that we’re fascinated to find out more about it. And now, thanks to some homologation paperwork logged with Chinese authorities, a few more details have come to light. The most obvious new bit of information concerns the powertrains. Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) filings show the Ioniq V will launch with a choice of two single-motor configurations producing either 188 hp (190 PS / 140 kW) or 225 hp (228 PS / 168 kW). The punchier of those motors is familiar from our own Ioniq 5, but you won’t find the lower-tune version in an American or European 5. Even Hyundai’s own humble US-market Elantra outguns it with 201 hp (204 PS / 150 kW) in N Line spec. Range extender hybrid and dual-motor versions should follow, according to Hyundai’s plan, and though there’s no mention of a truly hot version, an N makeover could give this EV Lamborghini Temerario-style pace to match its me-too design. For now, supercar speeds are definitely not on the agenda. A listed top whack of 103 mph (165 km/h) isn’t going to set any records, but the 800-volt charging architecture should at least mean the CATL lithium iron phosphate battery packs can fill rapidly. We still don’t know battery sizes, but the bigger of the two available packs claims more than 600 km (373 miles) on the optimistic CLTC cycle. Close To An Ionq 6 In Size, Not Style The Ioniq V measures 4,900 mm (192.9 inches) long and rides on a 2,900 mm (114.2 inches) wheelbase, giving it dimensions similar to the Ioniq 6 we can buy in the West. But visually, this thing heads in a very different direction. The low-slung body combines a coupe-like roofline with chunky surfacing, split headlights, frameless doors, and dramatic V-shaped wheels. Hopefully, the badly misaligned liftgate seen in the rear shot of the white car isn’t representative of production models. That’s certainly fixable, though it’s probably too late to do anything about the weird shelving system that passes for a rear diffuser. 27-Inches Of Infotainment The cabin looks rather better. Hyundai’s China team developed the car around a huge 27-inch ultra-thin 4K display paired with a Cyber Eye head-up display and ambient lighting inspired by nebula imagery. The system also integrates Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8295 cockpit chip together with AI features powered by Baidu and Volcano Engine technologies, Autohome reports. Another major addition is Momenta-assisted Level 2-plus driving capability, something rapidly becoming essential for competing in China’s brutally competitive EV market. Unfortunately for American buyers, the Ioniq V is almost certainly staying overseas. Hyundai developed it specifically for China under its new “global quality plus Chinese wisdom” strategy. That plan will see 20 new Hyundais of different powertrain types being unleashed in China over the next five years as the brand tries to shore up flagging sales. Hyundai, MIIT
