Hyundai has unveiled the Ioniq V, its first electric vehicle developed specifically for the Chinese market. The vehicle features a unique design focused on aerodynamics, a large touchscreen, and advanced technology, with a planned production of 500,000 units annually.
The Hyundai Ioniq V is the first model from the electric sub-brand to be developed specifically for China . Based on the Ioniq V enus concept that debuted a few weeks ago, the Ioniq V is an edgy five-door with a Kammback body style, not dissimilar to the shape used by the Toyota Prius since its second generation.
Hyundai claims the single-curve silhouette, as well as the frameless side windows and floating wing mirrors, are all designed to reduce wind resistance, although there’s no drag figure to back this up.

The Ioniq V is quite a sizeable vehicle, measuring 4900mm long, 1890mm wide, 1470mm tall, and riding on a 2900mm wheelbase.
It reportedly rides on the E-GMP architecture that underpins practically all of the EV-only models in the Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis lineups. No technical details about its drivetrain options have been released so far, except that long range variants will have a range rating over 600km using the generous CLTC standard. Inside there’s a minimalist interior with a 27.0-inch 4K touchscreen dominating the dashboard.
Vital information for the driver is presented in the Horizon Head Up Display, which is an instrumentation screen positioned where the dashboard and base of the windscreen meet. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip runs the car’s human interaction components, including the voice-driven “Smart AI” assistant, while advanced driver assistance features are supplied by Momenta. The Ioniq V will be built by Beijing Hyundai, a joint venture with local manufacturer BAIC.
The partners have committed ¥8 billion to developing a bevy of China-specific models, and are hoping to achieve total sales of 500,000 cars per annum. After the Ioniq V, the company plans to launch an SUV in the first half of 2027, probably based on the chunky Ioniq Earth concept. This will be followed by a range of mid-size and large models with pure electric and extended range EV drivetrains.
While the V is the first Ioniq model to be developed under the company’s new ‘In China, For China, To Global’ plan, it isn’t the first EV to be developed with China in mind first. That honour goes to the Elexio, which went on sale in Australia this year. It’s unclear if Beijing Hyundai plans to eventually export the Ioniq V, or its follow up EV and EREV models.
