Going forward, Hyundai will also offer range extender (EREV) and dual-motor versions of the Ioniq V.
Last month in April, Hyundai introduced its Ioniq brand at Auto China 2026 (Beijing Auto Show) in China. Hyundai also unveiled the first car in the range, the Ioniq V, which is the production version of the Venus Concept. It is part of Hyundai’s aggressive expansion strategy in China, with plans to introduce 20 new models over the next five years. In the latest development, powertrain details of the Ioniq V have been revealed through homologation documents. Let’s see the details.
Hyundai Ioniq V – Powertrain Details
According to the homologation documents filed with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), the Ioniq V will be available with a single motor setup. There will be two options for buyers, a 140 kW/190 PS and a 168 kW/228 PS motor. The top speed of the Ioniq V is listed at 165 km/h. Hyundai has not yet revealed the battery pack size for the Ioniq V. However, it is known that the maximum range with the Ioniq V will be 600+ km (CLTC standard).
The performance of the Ioniq V variant with the more powerful motor matches the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 models sold globally. This applies to the RWD, long-range versions of the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6. The AWD dual-motor versions of the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 have higher performance at 324 PS. Similar numbers can be expected when the AWD dual motor version of the Ioniq V is launched in China.
The Ioniq V is based on Hyundai’s E-GMP electric platform, which uses an 800V fast charging system. One of the major benefits is super-fast charging, making the overall experience similar to that of an ICE car. For reference, the Ioniq 5 sold in India can get from 10% to 80% charge in just 18 minutes.
Ioniq V – Exterior, Technical Package
Hyundai is using a distinctive design philosophy called ‘The Origin’ for the Ioniq range in China. This can be linked to local tastes and preferences and the need to focus on advanced technology features. The Ioniq V has a sharp profile, with features like H-style lighting, hidden headlamps, large aerodynamic alloy wheels, flush door handles, frameless doors and a coupe-like roofline.
At the rear, the Ioniq V gets a full-width light bar, IONIQ badging and diffuser-style inserts on the bumper. Dimension-wise, the Ioniq V is 4,900 mm long, 1,890 mm wide and 1,470 mm tall. Its wheelbase is 2,900 mm. These numbers are comparable to the global-spec Ioniq 6.
Ioniq V has technology cooperation with many top brands in China. These include Qualcomm, Momenta, CATL, Volcano Engine and Baidu Wenxin large language models. The tech system is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8295 cockpit chip, along with dual AI large-model support. Other key features include a 27-inch ultra-thin 4K display, a Cyber Eye HUD unit, and ambient lighting. The Ioniq V will have Momenta-assisted L2+ driving functions.
