2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5
1st generation, first U.S. model year.
Hyundai positions the IONIQ 5 as a style-forward electric crossover that pairs eye-catching design with everyday usefulness. Its big selling points are unusually fast DC charging, a long wheelbase that creates generous cabin space for its size, and easy-to-use technology rather than a stripped-down or experimental feel. For most shoppers, the IONIQ 5 is about balancing standout looks, comfort, and practical EV hardware in one family-friendly package.
Hyundai positioned the SE Standard Range as the entry model, while the larger-battery SE focused on longer-range driving. The SEL added everyday comfort and convenience features, and the Limited served as the technology showcase with a panoramic glass roof, augmented-reality head-up display, surround-view cameras, and remote parking assist.

What owners are saying about the 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5.
4.4
2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5
(262 reviews)
“Very comfortable for long trips; quiet well finished interior; fun to drive. In 2022 and early 2023 finding fast direct-DC supercharging stations in the US is difficult and travel-limiting.”
“Vehicle Infotainment system is awful. Lack of iphone key is terrible. Heater performance is weak. Sound system is lacking. Some of the driving settings make no sense and are dangerous (reverting from i-pedal when going out of reverse).”
