What to watch before you buy
Hyundai discontinued this 72.6 kWh IONIQ 5 in India in April 2026 and replaced it with an updated 84 kWh model — this page is for owners and used buyers.
The 631 km figure is the India-market ARAI certified claim, so it should be used as a planning anchor rather than as a like-for-like highway result.
Its best charging story depends on access to high-power 800-volt hardware, not just any public DC charger.

Hyundai IONIQ 5 vs Kia EV6
The India-spec IONIQ 5 makes the cleaner family-space argument with a more upright cabin and lower visual drama, while the EV6 GT-Line AWD answers with more power, AWD traction, and the more overtly performance-led premium EV brief.
Verdict: Choose the IONIQ 5 if cabin space, calmer design, and premium-EV ease matter more; choose the EV6 if stronger drivetrain hardware and a sharper, more driver-led character matter more.
