Test – Hyundai Ioniq 5 HTRAC: consumption, autonomy and measured performance of our Superret

For which business manager, fleet manager or even private individual sets a much more reasonable budget evolving around € 50,000, we are starting to find models capable of exceeding 500 km of autonomy. First of all, we obviously think of Tesla productions with the Model 3 (547 km) and Y (533 km) Large autonomy which demand respectively € 52,990 and € 53,990. Or to a multitude of models from the Volkswagen group using a 77 kWh battery, ranging from the VW ID. 3 to the Audi Q4 e-tron via the Skoda Enyaq IV and Cupra Born.

Hyundai ioniq 5 77 kWh test: an electric car for large rollers

Large battery, power studied and ultra-fast recharge capacity make this hyundai ioniq 5 one of the only electric cars capable of serenely considering the long highway routes.

Who says electric car generally says short distances. What is more on the fast axes where the autonomy melts as snow in the sun with this type of vehicle on batteries. Consequently, advising this means of transport to a professional skimming highways all year round is antinomy, at first glance. However, the levels of autonomy are constantly progressing with, at the top of this 2023 hierarchy, a certain Mercedes EQS 450+ capable of browsing 783 km according to the WLTP approval cycle. Only, the beautiful claiming more than € 135,000, she is not within the reach of all the budgets.

Almost competition

For which business manager, fleet manager or even private individual sets a much more reasonable budget evolving around € 50,000, we are starting to find models capable of exceeding 500 km of autonomy. First of all, we obviously think of Tesla productions with the Model 3 (547 km) and Y (533 km) Large autonomy which demand respectively € 52,990 and € 53,990. Or to a multitude of models from the Volkswagen group using a 77 kWh battery, ranging from the VW ID. 3 to the Audi Q4 e-tron via the Skoda Enyaq IV and Cupra Born.

Calmly consider the long routes

Yes, but here, at a sustained rate, an honest cruising speed of 130 km/h, it will be necessary to regularly take a break in order to recharge. And all the models mentioned above do not cover their maximum battery capacity, or if only 80%, so quickly. The challenge is there, precisely. In this little game, if the Tesla Model 3 Great Autonomy is a reference with a charging power reaching 250 kW, our Hyundai Ioniq 5 test is almost as well (232 kW) at a slightly lower price (from 51,300 € )).

A premium technical sheet

During our journey behind the wheel of Korean who saw us travel over 1000 km on the highway, with five passengers on board and their luggage, blocking our speed at 130 km/h at the regulator, we were able to perform between 220 and 250 km between each break, approximately every 1h45, depending on the state of the traffic. By taking advantage of the strong reload powers distributed by the supercombtors of the motorway areas, our downtime has oscillated between 10 and 20 minutes to recover up to 80% battery capacity, the time generally observed for a pee /Relaxation/coffee. Stands dedicated to meals are more indicated to reach 100% capacity (approximately 30 minutes). Be that as it may, in terms of recharging capacity, this Hyundai Ioniq 5 does better than its “generalist” competitors of the Volkswagen group, and does not have to be ashamed in the face of premium models of the Porsche Taycan/Audi type -tron GT thanks to its tension of 800 V.
On the consumption side, our motorway journey has raised its level around 24 kW/100 km, when it is rather 18 kW/100 km in average use, enough to easily cross the 400 km mark. In town, it is not uncommon to be able to rally the 507 km promised by the WLTP cycle, or even to exceed them if we favor an eco-driving.

Haven of peace on board

Hyundai turns out to be an excellent road companion by the comfort she distills. Slightly “suvilized”, it offers easy access to its large armchairs. Pullman seats which benefit from electrically deployable-deployable-unit, both on the driver and passenger side. Luxury generally reserved for limousines. The rear seats are not to be outdone with a first -rate modularity, the bench feeling in two parts mounted on the slides, while the files bow electrically, in the same way. Tips that also allow you to vary the volume of the trunk beyond 525 liters already substantial of origin.
For its part, the damping impresses with its quality of filtration despite the weight inherent in its condition of electric car. And the rolls are well maintained, despite the placid nature of his conduct. We finally appreciate the soundproofing, high volley on the highway. What to make the most of the cozy atmosphere that reigns on board and the storage storage, especially between the front passengers, in the absence of a tunnel of tunnel. To this end, the space cleared at the feet, at the back, is impressive. On the other hand, we can criticize certain choices of materials, even if the whole makes a good impression.

Sufficient performance

On the performance side, the 229 hp of this entry -level are largely sufficient, and participate in the backup of valuable kilometers of autonomy, compared to a more muscular version. This hyundai ioniq 5 77 kWh turns out to be sufficiently toned by cutting 0 to 100 km/h in 7 seconds. What calmly consider all types of routes aboard this bitumen damper.

Test – Hyundai Ioniq 5 HTRAC: consumption, autonomy and measured performance of our Superret

The Superret, what is it ? This is a new trial format on automobile-proper.com which follows the first impressions collected during the initial handling. It is a deepening worthy of the greatest speleologists achieved over much longer distances and always on the same route according to a very precise protocol which aims to be repeated with each novelty. We had started this exercise with rechargeable hybrids and we also now apply an evolution dedicated to electricity. The objective ? Gather exhaustive information from a long -term test in real conditions !

World car of the year, electric car of the year, auto design of the year, and even third place in the title of European car of the year: the Hyundai Ioniq 5 Cart. It is an understatement to say that the Korean crossover with a large compact look is one of the most important novelties in the electric car world. Using the name of a frail sedan more renowned for its record consumption, the ioniq 5 opens a new chapter in the history of the brand. It shows the E-GMP platform which is based in particular on a new software architecture and a promising 800 V configuration (653.4 V exactly). The wait on the terminals and the fear of the dry breakdown would only be distant memories with the Hyundai Ioniq 5.

Presentation of the Hyundai Ioniq 5

The IONIQ 5 HTRAC technique

For this first Superret (we will have the opportunity to try the other versions), Hyundai lent us the keys to an Ioniq 5 equipped with two electric motors and the largest battery available. At least, for the moment, since a new version should quickly see the light of day with a Kia Ev6 unit.

Between the engines installed on the rolling trains is a 72.6 kWh capacity battery, Hyundai taking care to communicate the usable value. She is responsible for powering electric machines that develop a total power of 306 hp for 605 nm of torque. In front of the time, they allow you to fall on 0-100 km/h in 5.2 s and aim for 180 km/h at top speed.

This mechanical configuration locks the catalog on high -end executive finish only with all the comfort and technological equipment in series. Between the rare options, it is possible to choose from two rims games, with 19 -inch wheels, or the superb 20 inch rims. With the default choice of our test model, the independence announced is 460 km (against 430 km with the 20 inches), for a WLTP consumption of 17.7 kWh/100 km.

At the right back is the charging plug behind a motorized panel, controlled from the remote control. The socket is of the Combo-CCS type and allows recharging on alternating current with a type 2 cable up to 11 kW of power. In this case, complete recharging (10-100 %) is announced in almost 6:10 a.m. But the Ioniq 5 is not afraid of the highway where it can target fast charging stations by loading up to 232 kW. Hyundai thus promises a 10-80 % in 18 minutes.

All our consumption measures of Hyundai Ioniq 5

Mixed autonomy: 380 km

With such an amount of electric modules (exactly 30), the Hyundai Ioniq 5 offers a hearty “tank”. On a daily basis, we will never miss juice. This is true with the vast majority of electrics, but it is even more so with this crossover. Reverse of the medal, its dimensions and its weight are among the highest. This is not without consideration on the winding roads, where the signature of its manufacturer in terms of road behavior does not allow it excess. Admittedly, the CAP hold is correct, but the damping is perfectible by yielding under the weight constraints. Paradoxically, the shock absorbers have characteristics of sportsmen and quickly arrive in stops on the bad fittings or retarders.

Also, the seats do not offer the best of the maintenance while the absence of a central console borders less on the passengers before. In short, the cabin wants to be a living room and it is in this perspective that the driver will have to evolve on these secondary roads: in general, we do not do his daily physical exercises on his sofa. From then on, we will take advantage of the quiet force of the Ioniq 5 with its satisfactory reminders and its regenerative braking system which goes from a free free to a powerful I-Pedal mode which brakes until the complete stop.

In town, this system is formidable. But it is hardly comfortable here with a rather high turning radius and stretched dimensions. Difficult to properly place its 4.65 m long, and more particularly its wheelbase of 3.00 m. But fortunately, the display of the dead angles by camera by activating the indicator allows you to see where the wheels are located when it is necessary to fit into a corner at 90 ° corner with the nearby sidewalks. Very useful.

Under a temperature of 15 ° C in dry and windless weather, the crossover admitted an average of 19.1 kWh/100 km on the road and 22.7 kWh/100 km on track. It is in town that she makes the best score, with 15.4 kWh/100 km. In the end, the average total consumption on our loop is 19.1 kWh/100, which results in an average autonomy of 380 km.

Mixed loop – Measurement over 100 km

Road	Expressway	City	Average
Average round trip (in kWh/100 km)	19 122 715	4	19,1
Theoretical total autonomy (in km)	380	319,471	380

Route vs highway: the aero does not make gifts

The Hyundai Ioniq 5, like many electrics, panics the meters as speed increases. On our favorable road trip, it presented an average of 15.9 kWh/100 km. It’s almost as good as the Volkswagen ID.3 that we have already passed to the Superret, but which was hardly advantaged by its winter tires. This therefore corresponds to an autonomy of 456 km.

But behind her spectacular pencil stroke to unscrew more than one head hide unusual aerodynamic values. Without low speed effect, confrontation with air can be formidable for consumption. After 50 km launched at 130 km/h at the cruise control, we spent the finish line with a value of 26.9 kWh/100 km, which is equivalent to almost 270 km of autonomy in total.

Instant consumption of the Hyundai Ioniq 5

Consequently, no need to specify that we expect a significant difference in consumption between 130 km/h and 110 km/h. Imagined to put on the kilometers on the highway like pearls on a necklace, she nevertheless prefers not to hit the bitumen headbands at high speed. Proof is with our statements.

At 110 km/h, it presents a consumption of 20.4 kWh/100 km, average of our reference round trip. At 130 km/h fixed, no surprise with a total of 27.0 kWh/100 km. This represents a variation of 35.34 % all the same. Even an Aiways U5 has a more measured proportion, but it must be said that its consumption at 110 km/h is equivalent to that of the Ioniq 5 to 130 km/h…

Instant consumption

110 km/h	130 km/h
Average round trip (in kWh/100 km)	20.4	27
Theoretical total autonomy (in km)	355	268

Long distance journey: 208 km of useful autonomy

On portions fully traveled at 130 km/h at the regulator, as we systematically do, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 displays high consumption. But we rarely travel at this speed throughout the journey. This is what allowed the Hyundai Ioniq 5 to be more sober on the A6 motorway between the periphery of Lyon and the Porte d’Orléans in Paris.

In the end, average consumption was established at 24.3 kWh/100 km, or 298 km of autonomy in total. Starting with a 100 %loaded battery, it is possible to consider almost 270 km on the first step. Then you will have to jump 208 km between 80 and 10 % load. Enough to make two short physiological breaks or a longer stop to cover 500 km. And in terms of recharge, the Hyundai ioniq 5 strikes hard.

Comfort and performance of the Hyundai Ioniq 5

With 306 hp and 605 nm of torque, the ioniq 5 is not asked to exceed. Proof of it is with an 80-120 km/h in 4.25 s, chrono in hand. A value that it will keep more or less than 100 % to 20 % load. On the other hand, like many others, it bridles its liveliness below 15 %, allowing the passage to save available load. Effective in a straight line, the crossover strengthens its “American” temperament on winding grounds with damping with marked pumping effects when the pace accelerates.

It is therefore appreciated at peaceful rhythms or on a highway, where comfort looks good. Passengers find their ease here with generous volumes around. The driver has to assist it with a whole suite of driving aids with in particular the HDA system which automatically adapts to speed limitations with the panels reading. But as often, the strong sensitivity of these systems that want to make limitations that do not concern the path on which the car rolls.

Chain the kilometers is easily done with this car imagined for long short trips. This is evidenced by the inner atmosphere, immaculate in this configuration, in connection with the Dual Cockpit. The tranquility worthy of the calm morning garden is also pushed with the two front seats, with the inclination which has nothing to envy the armchairs of an first class of an A380. And whose angles take up those of the body in zero severity situations. On the road, air noises are fairly well channeled: at 130 km/h, our soundometer measured a value of 74 dB, the lowest of all the cars that we have studied so far. In short, the basics of the premium are there, but the materials used are detonating in this universe. Like the rear belt without a guide, whose loop knocks on the edges of the rear seat.

Superret Hyundai Ioniq 5: The results

To attract titles that jealous of renowned manufacturers is not at random: the Hyundai Ioniq 5 was a revolution in the world of electric mobility, with the arrival of the Korean manufacturer where nobody expected it. Gigantic and technological, it promises a big autonomy. But it is a pity that it is in town, where it is the least comfortable, that its consumption is best optimized. On the highway, autonomy drastically melts. But it is more an effect of contrast since the ioniq 5 is among the electrics who do the best on the highway. So much so you don’t feel – not the difference with a thermal car. To be continued in the next episode.

The Ioniq 5 range opens at € 43,600 with the 58 kWh/170 hp version. On the other hand, it will be necessary to sign a check of € 59,900 for this high -end test version, which has complete equipment, including the reverse recharge V2L. Note that a less powerful version with a single 218 hp and less greedy engine is also available with a price of € 56,000.

The superestus, what is ?

In love with figures and allergies with official technical sheets, the Supertest, a new self-propelled automobile test format, is made for you, bringing together data collected during a test in real conditions and according to a transparent and precise protocol. We will add them on Wednesdays following the publication of the second part devoted to the Hyundai ioniq 5 htrac to our summary article making it possible to confront the values ​​noted of the models tried, which will make the full value of the section.
