KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What features make the Ioniq 5 EV ideal for towing?

    Per Hyundai, some of the features that make the Hyundai 5 the ideal towing EV is its low, wide, and stable stance; its smart telematics feature; and capable EV battery.
  • Did the Hyundai Ioniq 5 receive any recognition in this regard?

    Yes, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 has won the ANWB 2022 Tow Car of the Year.
  • However, Hyundai highlights yet another feature of the electric compact crossover SUV that will make the Ioniq 5 EV a fitting replacement to traditional mobility — its powerful and clean towing capability.

    The Ioniq 5 is built on the Hyundai Motor Group’s dedicated Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP). What this means is that the Ioniq 5 EV has a low, wide, and stable stance that makes it ideal for hauling.

    In addition, the Ioniq 5 is also smart enough that it can provide an estimated range based on the overall weight of the cargo being towed.

    Should the Ioniq 5 run low on power, it can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes with the use of a fast charger.

    Speaking of charging, the Ioniq 5 also comes with the innovative Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function, which essentially makes it a large power bank on wheels.

    As proof of its superior towing capability, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 was crowned Tow Car of the Year 2022 by the Netherlands’ Royal Dutch Touring Club travel association, known simply as ANWB — making it the first all-electric car to claim this coveted title.
