    The first model from Hyundai’s new Ioniq all-electric sub-brand has been detailed earlier than expected, with powertrain information on the Ioniq 5 mid-size SUV going public ahead of its official reveal early next year.

    As reported by Korean Car Blog, Hyundai Austria has not only started accepting reservations for the Ioniq 5’s First Edition, but released some key details on it, including confirmation of its 230kW dual-motor set-up with all-wheel drive and a 0-100km/h time of 5.2 seconds.

    While the First Edition has a 58kWh battery that provides 450km of driving range (WLTP), Korean Car Blog was able to confirm with a Hyundai Austria representative the Ioniq 5 will also be available with a 73kWh unit that can travel 550km between charges.
