​Aside from the already sold out special launch edition called Project 45, three trim levels are available.

The £36,995 SE Connect is the entry point into the Ioniq 5 range and gets fabric upholstery - produced from 'naturally derived polyester' – 19-inch alloy wheels, sliding rear seats, two 12.3-inch displays for the dials and touchscreen infotainment, a wireless smartphone charging pad, sat nav-based smart cruise control and host of safety equipment. The SE Connect is only available with the 58kWh battery.​

Range starts at just under £37,000

Premium trim kicks in at £39,295 for the 58kWh battery version and gets an electric driver's seat, heated front seats and steering, LED projector headlights and the Vehicle-to-Load pack. The Premium also comes with the larger 73kWh battery priced at £41,945.

The Ultimate trim sits at the top of the range and adds leather seats, electrically-adjustable and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a Bose sound system, a head-up display with augmented reality, 20-inch wheels and a sliding centre console.

The petrol and diesel ban – what does it mean?

There are a couple of options packs available too – the Eco pack adds a battery heating system and heat pump, while the Tech Pack gives extra safety kit including blind-spot monitoring and 360-degree parking cameras along with first class aeroplane-style reclining seats.

Along with the 58kWh and 73kWh rear-wheel drive versions at £42,295 and £44,945 respectively, the Ultimate also gets the 73kWh all-wheel drive option at £48,145.

The Ioniq 5 is the first model from Hyundai's new Ioniq sub-brand, and will be soon followed by a wave of Ioniq-badged models over the next four years as the Korean firm bolsters its electric car range.
