- Hyundai’s Ioniq V claims up to 404 miles from a small battery.
- Buyers get a 53.5-kWh pack or a larger 66.8-kWh option.
- Real-world range likely lands far below the China figure.
While some of the Hyundai EVs sold in Western markets are striking, none of them go as far out as the Ioniq V the brand pulled the covers off in China earlier this year. With its wedge-shaped styling, the Ioniq V is a high-riding electric sedan that, according to newly surfaced data, can cover up to 404 miles (650 km) on a charge.
When Hyundai first showed the Ioniq V in April, it kept the powertrain details almost entirely under wraps. Fresh numbers from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) have now confirmed it will be offered with 53.5 kWh and 66.8 kWh LFP battery packs, both of which are fairly modest for a car of this footprint.

The entry-level model pairs the 53.5 kWh pack with a single electric motor making 188 hp. On China’s notoriously optimistic CLTC cycle, it’s rated for 323 to 336 miles (520 to 540 km) per charge, though real-world driving will likely land nearer 250 miles (400 km). Depending on spec, the base car weighs between 3,763 lbs (1,707 kg) and 3,829 lbs (1,737 kg).
Buyers planning to point their spaceship-like Hyundai at longer road trips can step up to the 66.8 kWh pack, which comes bundled with a punchier 225-hp motor. This version claims 385 to 404 miles (620 to 650 km) and tips the scales at as much as 3,985 lbs (1,808 kg) depending on the configuration. Expect the achievable figure to sit closer to 311 miles (500 km) once you factor in real-world conditions.
More surprising is that the MIIT filing points to an extended-range version of the Ioniq V as well, though Hyundai hasn’t spilled any details on it yet. There’s also no official word on charging speeds, but the car runs an 800-volt architecture, which in Ioniq models sold elsewhere typically supports rates around 250 kW.
Pricing hasn’t been announced but should follow shortly, with customer deliveries set to begin later this year. Hyundai hasn’t said whether the Ioniq V will venture beyond China, but there’s a decent chance it eventually lands in markets like Australia.
