Practicality and style of the car

Since there is no engine under the bonnet, this means there’s an extra 57 litres of storage space in the front of the vehicle. This is useful for storing any extra luggage that you can’t squeeze into the boot or to neatly store away the charging cable.

The boot also features a retractable load cover to keep the boot contents out of sight. The rear bench can also be slid forward or backward to free up some more space in the back – perfect for fitting any awkwardly shaped items into the boot.

A large flat loading bay is created by folding down all the rear seats. This makes transporting large and bulky items easy. For larger items, the IONIQ 5 can tow up to 1,600kg with the 77kWh battery model, which is enough to tow a trailer.
