The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 is built for drivers who want electric power that fits naturally into daily life. At Garden Grove Hyundai, the SUV appeals to commuters and city drivers looking for an EV that feels familiar from the first drive rather than experimental or overcomplicated. The sections below take a closer look at how performance, technology, safety, and charging come together to support real-world driving.
Power and Performance
This new Hyundai EV delivers electric performance that feels smooth, quiet, and easy to manage in everyday conditions. Rear-wheel-drive models use a single electric motor producing approximately 225 horsepower, while available dual-motor all-wheel-drive configurations increase output to about 320 horsepower for stronger acceleration and added traction. Power is immediate but controlled, helping the vehicle move confidently through traffic and onto the highway without feeling abrupt.
Built on Hyundai's Electric-Global Modular Platform, the low-mounted battery contributes to stable handling and a planted feel at higher speeds. Drive Mode Select allows drivers to adjust throttle and steering response, making it easy to tailor the driving experience to changing road conditions or personal preference.
Technology Features
Inside the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5, technology is designed to feel intuitive rather than distracting. Dual 12.3-inch displays present navigation, media, and vehicle information clearly, while a thoughtful mix of touch and physical controls keeps common functions simple to access. Available Digital Key® allows compatible smartphones to unlock and start the vehicle, reducing the need for a traditional key.
Bluelink+® connected services provide access to remote features and charging information, adding convenience without unnecessary complexity. A sliding center console creates added flexibility between the front seats, and the flat floor layout helps open up the cabin, giving the interior a spacious, modern feel.
Safety Features
Every 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 includes Hyundai SmartSenseâ„¢, a suite of driver-assist technologies designed to support driver awareness in a variety of situations. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist helps monitor vehicles and pedestrians ahead, while Lane Keeping Assist provides gentle steering support to help maintain lane position.
Available features such as Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist add confidence when navigating parking lots and busy streets. Smart Cruise Control helps reduce driver fatigue on longer trips by adjusting speed to maintain a set following distance.
Range and Charging
The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 offers multiple battery configurations to accommodate different driving habits. Its advanced 800-volt electrical architecture supports DC Fast Charging under ideal conditions, allowing the battery to recharge from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 18 minutes when connected to compatible charging equipment. Vehicle-to-Load capability is available on select trims, allowing the vehicle to supply power to small electronics or accessories.
