LEATHERHEAD, England / SEOUL, Korea, March 8, 2022
– The all-new #hyundai #ioniq5 has added to its growing list of Car of the Year honors by being named overall #ukcaroftheyear 2022.

Having already been recognized as Best Family Car in the #ukcaroftheyear Awards shortlist, the #hyundai #ioniq5 was crowned best car overall by a panel of 29 expert judges from a diverse array of titles covering the British #automotive industry, including The Sunday Times, The Daily Express, The Telegraph, The Independent, Top Gear, #auto Express, CAR, Evo and Business Car.

John Challen, Editor and Managing Director of the #ukcaroftheyear Awards, said the #hyundai #ioniq5 had been a popular choice as 2022’s number one car. He explained: “The #hyundai #ioniq5 feels like the future of motoring, only it's here today. The design, performance and practicality make it a fantastic proposition for those looking for an #ev – and also a very worthy winner of the title ‘UK Car of the Year 2022’.”

Ashley Andrew, Managing Director, #hyundai Motor UK, said: “The #ioniq5 has really captured the attention of UK consumers, offering a stylish, premium full #ev experience that appeals to almost every type of new car buyer. Its innovative layout means its spacious enough for large families, its efficient zero emissions powertrain is perfect for company car buyers and its luxurious eco-friendly interior elevates #hyundai into a genuine premium product. It is a huge endorsement to receive the title of UK Car of the Year”

The claiming of the top honor in the #ukcaroftheyear Awards came after the #ioniq5 was also awarded the Best Family Car category where it was praised for making “going electric easy” and being “innovative, desirable, practical, and brilliantly designed to make full use of its electric-only platform.”

The #hyundai i20N was also recognized, beating a host of established sports cars to lift the Best Performance Car title. The hot hatch can dispatch 0-62mph in only 6.2 seconds and comes fitted with an efficient 204PS 1.6 T-GDi petrol engine, and the judges were suitably impressed, hailing it as “quite the performer at an affordable price.”.

Since its introduction in 2020, the #hyundai #ioniq5 has won many admirers thanks to its attractive design, range of up to 298 miles and the ability to rapid recharge from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes.

As a result, it’s picked up a string of prestigious awards. In July last year, it was named Car of the Year in the 2021 #auto Express New Car Awards, and also triumphed in the Mid-Size Company Car, Premium Electric Car and Design categories.

There was further success in October when it was crowned Best Designed Car of the Year in the 2021 News UK Motor Awards, and also awarded Motoring Innovation of the Year for its relaxation seats and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality. 

That same month, the #hyundai #ioniq5 was recognized in the Carbuyer Best Car Awards 2022, where it was named Best Company Car and Best Family Electric Car. And just a month later, there were more celebrations as it was recognized as Best Car at the 2021 EE Pocket-lint Awards. The success story has continued into 2022, with another Car of the Year title at the Company Car and Van awards. And in late January, the #hyundai #ioniq5 was named overall winner in the 2022 Company Car Today CCT 100 Awards, as well as Premium #ev of the Year.

The sleekly styled #hyundai #ioniq5 pays homage to the marque's design heritage while focusing on delivering the future of electric mobility to customers today. Thanks to Hyundai's industry-disrupting new Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), the #ioniq5 provides faster charging times, increased driving range, enhanced handling, and superior interior space.

The modular, flat-floor E-GMP has also enabled Hyundai’s designers to revolutionize the car interior. The #ioniq5 redefines what is possible with a completely new in-car experience and living space, offering sustainable materials, fully flexible seating, and numerous custom options.
