Review: 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 GLS 2WD Long Range
The Ioniq 5 isn’t Hyundai’s first EV, but it is their first EV that happens to turn heads.

However, it’s a big all-electric crossover. You can credit the bespoke E-GMP platform for that, and it’s a strength that Hyundai keeps on leaning on to make this one of the brightest gems for the year.
