Usually when a car company shows a concept, it'll be at least a year or more before we see the production model based on it. Hyundai has cut that time down to just two weeks with the Ioniq V. It's the production version of the Venus concept, and it's making its debut at Auto China 2026 in Beijing.It's also clear that it follows the concept's lines closely. But we can't help but notice some surprising similarities to at least one other prominent production vehicle. Whether or not Hyundai intended such similarities is unclear, but they certainly exist. See for yourself.Hyundai Let's Get This Out Of The Way We won't beat around the bush any further. The Ioniq V looks an awful lot like a Toyota Prius with a lower polygon count; a Prius made for the PlayStation 1, if you will. It has a similar low nose and wedge-like hood and windshield. It has squinting running lights connected by a thin black bar. The roof seems low, and it quickly transitions from peak to long, tapering fastback. All of these can just as easily describe a Prius. It's just that the Hyundai has crisp creases and corners, whereas the Prius is more curvy and organic.Toyota With all of that said, we know that physics, particularly when it comes to aerodynamics, works the same for every car, so certain shapes will be the most efficient, and the Prius is quite slippery. The Ioniq V surely will be, too. Let's also not forget that this wedge shape isn't exclusive to the Prius. Both of these efficient four-doors can also be compared to Lamborghinis. To that end, we find the Ioniq V to be rather cool looking. It's just that it's not the only one.Additionally, the Ioniq V is a fair bit larger than the Prius. At 192.9 inches long, it's nearly a foot longer than the Toyota. It's also 4.2 in. wider, and the wheelbase is 5.9 in. longer.Hyundai You won't mistake the Ioniq V's interior for that of a Prius, though. Like the Venus concept, the Ioniq V sports an enormous single display for the main infotainment and the passenger's entertainment. It's a 27-in. panel with 4K resolution. Hyundai says there's also a super wide head-up display. That head-up display may be the primary instrument display, as we don't see any real screen in front of the steering wheel. The dash is fairly simple with sharp creases and some contrasting color to provide some visual interest. Hyundai further touts the inclusion of an 8-speaker sound system with Dolby Atmos support, plus a large language model AI voice assistant. It's The First Of Many New Hyundais For China The Ioniq V is the first Ioniq to be launched in China, and it's apparently only going to China. Like Ioniqs around the world, it will be fully electric, and Hyundai says it will have a range of 373 miles on the optimistic CLTC test cycle. Hyundai didn't give any further details about power or what the battery configuration or chemistry would be. Hyundai didn't give a window for when the Ioniq V will go on sale, but we expect it to arrive later this year, possibly early next year. The company, along with its joint-venture partner BAIC (Beijing Automotive Group), has 20 more car models planned for the next 5 years, with the next one being a new SUV to launch in the first half of next year.
