The Ioniq 5 has received several prestigious awards, including the 2022 World Car of the Year, World Electric Vehicle of the Year, and World Car Design of the Year.

Widely acclaimed internationally, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is considered one of the most premium and stylish electric vehicles on the market. Its futuristic design includes eye-catching parametric pixel headlamps, a clamshell hood, and pixelated taillights.
