Hyundai Ioniq 5

The Standard uses a 63 kWh battery; the Limited / XRT uses an 84 kWh pack. Both share the 800V E-GMP architecture — enabling the fastest DC charging in the segment regardless of variant. IONIQ 5 Standard (RWD): 440 km WLTP / ~505 km CLTC — 63 kWh IONIQ 5 Limited / XRT (eAWD): 540 km WLTP / ~620 km CLTC — 84 kWh 800V architecture — both variants Home charging: ~5.8 hrs (Standard) / ~7.6 hrs (Limited / XRT)

In UAE summer above 40°C with full AC load, expect a 15–20% WLTP reduction — approximately 350–375 km (Standard) and 430–460 km (Limited / XRT). The Limited / XRT comfortably covers Dubai–Abu Dhabi return on a single charge in all seasons; the Standard suits urban and shorter inter-city use.

The Standard reaches 0–100% in approximately 5.8 hours on a 7 kW wall box; the Limited / XRT takes approximately 7.6 hours. At DEWA's AED 0.23/kWh rate, a full Standard charge (63 kWh) costs approximately AED 14.50; a full Limited charge (84 kWh) costs approximately AED 19.30.

The 800V E-GMP architecture delivers 10–80% in approximately 18 minutes on a 350 kW charger — the fastest in the UAE D-segment. CCS2 is standard on both variants, fully compatible with DEWA Green Charger, E2GO, UAEV, and GreenParking networks. 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 — Battery & Charging

The E-GMP flat floor delivers class-leading rear legroom for the D-segment — second-row space rivals vehicles a size larger. Dual 12-inch screens, a sliding centre console, and eco-leather upholstery are standard from the Limited / XRT trim.

Heated and ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and a retractable sliding centre console are standard on the Limited / XRT. Physical climate shortcut buttons are retained alongside the touchscreen — a practical UAE advantage for quick AC adjustments in traffic.

Remote pre-conditioning via the Hyundai Bluelink app cools the cabin before entry — essential for UAE midday parking. Ventilated front seats are standard on the Limited / XRT; the panoramic sunroof has UV coating, with additional ceramic tinting recommended for open parking.

527-litre boot plus a 24-litre frunk across both variants — the frunk handles charging cables, keeping the boot free for luggage. Rear seats fold 60:40; ISOFIX is fitted at both outer rear seats.

Dual 12-inch screens (cluster + touchscreen), wireless CarPlay & Android Auto, Arabic navigation, Hyundai Bluelink app, OTA updates via Al-Futtaim's UAE infrastructure V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) 3.6 kW output standard — powers appliances, charging cables, or other EVs Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA2) on Limited / XRT — semi-autonomous UAE motorway driving i-Pedal one-pedal driving and regen paddle shifters on Limited / XRT

Advanced Driver Assistance includes: AEB with pedestrian, cyclist, and junction detection; adaptive cruise with stop-and-go; lane centring Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, Safe Exit Warning, 360-degree surround camera 5-star Euro NCAP (2021) — independently verified structural and active safety performance 800V E-GMP platform structural battery protection — tested for UAE ambient temperatures above 50°C

The Standard RWD is refined and quiet at 120 km/h on the E11 — composed, minimal wind noise, and well-suited to UAE motorway commuting. The Limited / XRT eAWD adds confident dual-motor grip and noticeably sharper responses on Sheikh Zayed Road.

The Standard's 8.5-second 0–100 is adequate for motorway merging and urban use. The Limited / XRT's 5.3-second sprint provides effortless overtaking at any speed — strong value for a dual-motor D-segment SUV at AED 215,000.

Adjustable regenerative braking with i-Pedal one-pedal driving is standard on the Limited / XRT. The regen-to-friction transition is smooth; energy recovery contributes meaningfully to urban range in Dubai stop-start traffic.

HDA2 on the Limited / XRT combines adaptive cruise, lane centring, and auto lane change — reliable on well-marked UAE motorways. Northern Emirates roads with faded markings require more driver input; active supervision is always required.

Light, accurate steering and a low battery floor aid urban manoeuvrability and mall car park navigation across both variants. The eAWD Limited / XRT adds stability on wet or sandy approach roads beyond Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Comfort-biased suspension absorbs UAE expansion joints and speed bumps without harshness on motorways. Rear passengers benefit from the 3,000 mm wheelbase — one of the longest in the D-segment.

Al-Futtaim operates the largest Korean EV dealer network in the UAE, with Hyundai showrooms across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. The IONIQ 5 carries a 5-year / 100,000 km vehicle warranty and an 8-year / 160,000 km battery warranty; agency purchases qualify for free Salik tag, green parking, and reduced RTA fees.

US-spec grey import units require aftermarket adapters for UAE charging and lose the 800V speed advantage entirely. Insurance on non-agency vehicles runs 20–30% above official rates; government EV incentives do not apply.

At AED 152,000, the Standard is the UAE's most affordable officially warranted 800V electric SUV — undercutting the Volkswagen ID.4 (AED 196,290) and Tesla Model Y Long Range (~AED 215,000). For 20,000 km per year on a home wall box, annual electricity runs AED 1,200–1,600 (DEWA) versus AED 9,000–12,000 for a petrol D-segment SUV — savings of AED 7,500–10,000. Insurance ranges from AED 8,500 to AED 15,000 annually; Al-Futtaim servicing is estimated at AED 1,500–2,500 per year. Three-year residual values are estimated at 55–65%, supported by Hyundai's established UAE brand, 5-star Euro NCAP, and Al-Futtaim's nationwide dealer network. 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 — Standard Equipment
