Next batch of Hyundai Ioniq 5 EVs coming on January 19

The first batch of Hyundai's Ioniq 5 electric SUV for 2023 will go on sale in Australia on January 19 at 1pm AEDT, the brand has revealed today.

All the vehicles have now landed in the country, with customer deliveries expected to be within two to four weeks.

In total there will be 250 cars available – 44 of the Dynamiq 2WD variant, 143 of the Techniq AWD and 63 of the new top-of-the-line Epiq AWD.

This is the largest batch of Ioniq 5s to arrive since the vehicle's initial launch in 2021.

Unlike in previous allocations, this cohort will go on sale across the whole of the country, rather than in individual states and territories and is also the first time the car will go on sale in the NT.

According to Hyundai, it has expanded the number of dealerships offering the model to 25.

The last lot of Ioniq 5s quickly sold out when they were made available in the most recent slot in November, though there were seven previous occasions where the car was released in stages – beginning in October 2021 through to November 2022.

In total, 756 were sold in 2022, with the largest amount – 140 – coming in September. That compares to 1096 of the brand's smaller Kona EV and 580 of the now discontinued Ioniq Electric sedan.

The Ioniq 5 range is now headlined by a new flagship grade, the Epiq, which gains digital side mirrors, a heat pump, and battery conditioning – all features previously unavailable in Australia.

Debuting ahead of the Ioniq 6 electric sedan, the digital side mirrors utilise a pair of OLED displays in the cabin, with improved “driver vision in all conditions” and reduced aerodynamic drag.
