Hyundai Motor India (HMI) on Tuesday announced that the company will introduce its global car IONIQ 5, in India this year as part of its BEV expansion plans.
The term IONIQ is a fusion of “ion” and “unique” that was announced as a long-term research and development project focussing on sustainable mobility. The brand was conceived to fuse life-changing mobility with environmental performance and will usher in a balance of clean mobility that synchronises eco-positive solutions within a lifestyle centric eco-system.
IONIQ 5 is built on Hyundai Motor Group’s Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), an innovative system exclusively developed for next-generation battery electric vehicles and will usher in a new era of clean mobility for Hyundai. Through the modularity ingrained by Hyundai’s E-GMP platform, the IONIQ 5 will feature an innovative interior and exterior design; while interiors feature eco-friendly materials at multiple touchpoints, the exteriors present a fresh and dynamic appeal. E-GMP has been developed on 4 Key Pillars: Modularity, Reliability, Usability, and Performance.
Unsoo Kim, MD & CEO, HMI, said that the company has been focussing on electric mobility across its businesses and product range for a progressive and sustainable future. HMI has already committed to expanding its “BEV line-up to six models by 2028 and today, with great pride we are announcing the introduction of IONIQ 5 in CY22 in India. With our 25-year journey of togetherness in India, Hyundai is happy to partner with this great nation on a new quest to charge up the adoption of EVs at scale,” he added.
