Hyundai Ioniq 5 77.4 kWh AWD real life range test
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 was first shown about four years ago and quickly became a best seller in the compact electric SUV segment. Its mix of retro and futuristic looks is very popular with the target buyers, while its ergonomic interior makes for many happy drivers.
Our detailed review of this Hyundai Ioniq 5 77.4 kWh AWD is coming soon, but now we’ll focus on its real world range and efficiency. Its shape and size don’t suggest the most efficient aerodynamics, but its 77.4 kWh battery pack should still allow for reasonable range.
We drove our usual test routes, doing the same track both ways at constant speeds at the same place as with every other car we test. The ambient temperature while testing the Ioniq 5 was 23°C, which is very close to the perfect weather for such testing, meaning the Hyundai’s results will get a slight bonus.
At our lowest testing speed of 60 km/h the Ioniq 5 doesn’t shine with its consumption. It uses as much electricity as much bigger models and far off its sedan relative - the Hyundai Ioniq 6. Those two share the same powertrain, so therefore we expected similar results at lower speeds, but the higher weight and larger wheels penalize the Ioniq 5.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 77.4 kWh AWD
Hyundai Kona Electric 65.4kWh
At 90 km/h the Ioniq 5 slightly improves its ranking. The aero clearly works at that speed and the optional cameras on each side that replace conventional mirrors and reduce drag mean its consumption rises less than the Ioniq 6's.
At the highest testing speed of 130 km/h the results of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 77.4 kWh AWD are even better and almost on par with the Ioniq 6. The Ioniq 5 also achieves better results than the smaller Hyundai Kona, which is a commendable feat.
It's no wonder the Hyundai Ioniq 5 77.4 kWh AWD is as popular as it is. It has distinctive looks and a spacious cabin, but also offers very decent range. It also offers short charging times and even bidirectional charging.
