And this is only in South Korea so far – in other countries the car will become available in a few months. In fact, the Hyundai electric car has already been sold out for more than a year ahead, because in the first 12 months they planned to produce 26.5 thousand cars, and demand for the model remained consistently high in the following days.
No other model of the Korean concern Hyundai-Kia has been so popular. The previous record was set last August and belonged to the Kia Carnival minivan – then on the first day 23 thousand pre-orders were received for the car.
It is noteworthy that so far only more expensive versions Prestige (from $50 thousand) and Exclusive (from $55 thousand) are on sale, while base versions will be offered later. However, government subsidies in South Korea allow reducing the price of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 by about 14 thousand dollars.
Recall that the electric car Hyundai Ioniq 5 is equipped with motors with a power of 168-302 hp. The top version accelerates to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds. With the largest battery, the range is 480 km.
