Hyundai IONIQ 5 Wins 2023 MotorTrend SUV of the Year

Recently, MotorTrend announced its 2023 SUV of the Year, the Hyundai IONIQ 5. Notably, this marks the first time an all-electric SUV has been honored in this way. From your first look at its bold, futuristic design, you will know that it is a standout that requires your full attention. The base MSRP is only slightly above $40,000, making it among the most affordable EVs today. MotorTrend reviews all qualifying SUVs in six critical areas before finalizing its selection, and these areas are valued, advancement in design, engineering excellence, performance, and safety.

While the 2023 IONIQ 5 is affordable, it does not skimp in any areas. Its electric architecture supports ultra-fast charging that is well ahead of most other seemingly comparable models, including Level 3 charging which many other models do not support. The SUV is built on the same E-GMP platform that the Kia EV6 and the Genesis GV60 use. Depending on its configuration, it could yield 320 horsepower and deliver a 256-mile range. In addition, there are five regenerative braking modes.

The IONIQ 5’s design boasts low ground clearance, a hatchback-style roofline, and linear accents over the wheel arches for added personality. At the same time, the interior of the IONIQ 5 is astoundingly modern, with features like a two-spoke steering wheel, a push-button starter, and dual 12.3-inch display screens. Safety technologies include automatic lane change, radar cruise control, and lane-keeping assistance.
