When are you going fully electric?

I really hope they have the efficiency of the current car, that is what I appreciate the most such a small amount of energy for such a great amount of range. Something they should lead with.

It’s much bigger so road load will increase, regardless of efficiency it will use more power than the current shopping car range. It’s just physics.

Wow, that looks awful, all that cheap looking plastic.

Cheap plastic?
If you're referring to the exterior arches, front and rear sections then that is all part of the optional 'offroad package'.

I think it looks amazing. The only problem with this, the Taycan Saloon and any other Porsche, is the options list.
The base cars need around £10k adding to bring up to the spec of the iPace and Polestar 2. Then you can easily add another £10k in 'nice to have' features. Leasing/financing a car with £20k of options, over 3 years is an additional £550 per month !

Love the look of the ioniq5 but….

when there is a person sat in it it looks like it’s 1.5 scale!

I thought maybe this would be an alternative to a Model Y LR as I didn't really want a larger car than the Model 3. Then I realised the scale of it and with no mention of cost I'm assuming that will be high plus supply will be quite low.

There are plenty of cheaper EV's on the way. I saw someone the other day saying "after the ICE ban, what will a nurse who'd buy a £5k Corsa buy.. they can't afford £30k for an EV" ... and surely the answer is a £5k used EV?! (Maybe £6k seeing as the running costs are much lower).

People are comparing the prices of brand new EV's with 10 year old ICE's.

2030 is 9 years away. That means there will be plenty of used EVs around by then. So in 2030, instead of buying a 2020 Corsa 1.2 petrol, buy a 2020 Corsa-E, or a 2020 Nissan leaf.

Or, in 2030 buy a 2024 Corsa petrol, hang on to it for a few years then buy a 2027 Renault Zoe.

Within a few years there will be EV's at pretty much every price point.

When the ban comes in in 2030, a Nurse who would buy a £5k Corsa... can still buy a £5k Corsa. Nobody is banning the sale of used petrol and diesel cars (yet, anyway). Doing so would be incredibly wasteful.

£40k for the 5 (£45k for the limited edition first cars with solar roof) and the 6 is £50k.

Model Y is expected to be £45k isnt it? I would say they are bang on the money.

The limited first edition is definitely £45k as all of them have been sold already. The standard models have got to be cheaper?

As I said, no official pricing from Hyundai UK. You only need to look at the fiasco that was the VW ID.3 1st Edition car and pricing, no actual UK price until weeks before delivery was due, they were also all sold as well. I assume the price for the Ioniq 6 was just a wet finger stuck in the air guess?

Just motoring press, nothing official yet. I suppose it all depends where the 5 comes in. If it does indeed come in at £40k then £50k for the 6 is a reasonable assumption.

The the motoring press are actually reporting that its Hyundai who have said the special edition is £45k

The Ioniq 5 should go on sale in the UK this summer. Hyundai has confirmed that the high-spec launch model, called the ‘Project 45’, will be priced from £45,000 including the £3,000 government plug-in car grant. That means a potential starting price of £38,000 after the grant for the rest of the Ioniq 5 range is feasible.

I remember people waiting for the full range of the face-lift Leaf, hoping it would be cheaper than the 2.Zero limited edition. The opposite was true. The limited edition was cheaper than the N-Connecta trim, but sat somewhere between that and Tekna in terms of spec.

Might be different with the Ioniq 5, as the limited edition has a solar roof. But maybe best not to assume the standard models will be vastly cheaper.
