Get Ready to Meet the Reigning Champion! Hyundai IONIQ 5 Named Esquire’s Car of the Year!

The reason why Hyundai Ioniq 5 received the Car of the Year award is due to its unique blend of practicality and distinctive design, which makes it a car suitable for the general public.

Esquire magazine has named the 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5 as its Car of the Year for this year. The magazine's editors evaluate a wide range of vehicles every year, from SUVs to supercars to pure EVs, to select a single Car of the Year that stands out for its exceptional style, unique innovation, and cultural influence. The IONIQ 5 is an electric car that boasts a driving range of over 300 miles on select RWD trims, a design influenced by Hyundai's '45' EV concept, cutting-edge technology, and best-in-class ultra-fast charging that can reach 10 to 80 percent in a mere 18 minutes under ideal charging conditions. This latest accolade adds to the vehicle's already impressive list of honors.

The Hyundai's overall design, attention to detail, and user-friendly features make it a favorite among customers. No details are left out in its creation, resulting in a cohesive and visually appealing product that captures the hearts of consumers.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 prioritizes clean and simple design over extravagance, which is uncommon in today's automobile industry where many cars appear to be designed by a committee that favors maximalism. Consequently, it has become a subtle symbol of status in regions such as Los Angeles since its launch in the spring, similar to how the Prius was perceived in the past.
