2022 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 LIMITED: INSIDEEVS 70 MPH COLD WEATHER RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

InsideEVs conducted a 70 MPH cold-weather range test on the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited, finding a real-world result of 195 miles. This figure falls significantly short of the EPA's 256-mile rating, a discrepancy attributed to the frigid 17-21°F (approx. -8 to -6°C) ambient temperature and the 70 MPH constant speed. The reviewer noted that the Ioniq 5's "Winter Mode" was not engaged to avoid battery warming energy expenditure, and highlighted that the vehicle's battery preconditioning for DC fast charging is less robust than some competitors, leading to longer charging times in the cold. A notable observation was the reduced pedal response below 5% state of charge. While the result was disappointing compared to expectations of around 210 miles, the reviewer emphasized the test's focus on objective reporting under specific, challenging conditions, acknowledging that warmer weather would likely yield a higher range.
