From its corporate headquarters in Gurugram, Haryana, Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) today signalled the departure of the future Ioniq 5 electric vehicle “to discover the famed wonders of India.” The Ioniq 5 is launched by Unsoo Kim, MD & CEO of Hyundai Motor India, with the goal of exploring India’s Wonders and setting new records.
The flagship EV is also planning to set a new record for “Fastest EV Drive Covering The 7 Wonders Of India” in addition to setting off on an adventure to discover the Seven Wonders of India. The Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab, has been selected as the first location for the South Korean automaker’s attempt to break this record, which will be submitted to the India Book of Records.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 will travel to majestic and well-known sites such as the Taj Mahal in Uttar Pradesh, the Temples of Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh, the Old Nalanda Ruins in Bihar, the Konark Sun Temple in Odisha, the Ancient City of Hampi in Karnataka, and then to the Gomateshwara statue in the same Southern state.
The 2022 World Car of the Year, the Ioniq 5, may enter the nation via the SKD (Semi Knocked Down) route. It might therefore be less expensive than Rs. 50 lakh, undercutting the Kia EV6, its twin, which made its local debut in August 2022. It is supported by the E-GMP skateboard-specific architecture.
The mechanicals of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6 share a number of similarities. The Ioniq 5 is offered with a 58 kWh or a 77.4 kWh battery pack on international markets. It will compete against the Mini Cooper SE, Kia EV6, and Volvo XC40 Recharge. Compared to the Kona Electric, which is already for sale in India, it is more expensive.
