Which 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5 to Buy?

The Limited is the specification I like because it comes with all the fun things you desire for not much more money than the SEL. If you want rocket-like acceleration, the dual-motor setup—which is a pricey upgrade and decreases the expected range—is worthwhile.

Lastly, let’s go over the paint colors for the 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5 trim levels. There are six available colors. Not every color is available on every trim level.

  • Lucid Blue⁠
