Electrifying Performance 

The 2026 IONIQ 5 offers a range of electric powertrains designed to meet diverse driving needs. The lineup includes both rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations. Depending on the trim and configuration, the IONIQ 5 produces up to 320 horsepower and 446 lbs.-ft. of torque, delivering smooth, instant acceleration and confident handling on every drive. 

Drivers can expect an EPA-estimated all-electric range of up to 318 miles, depending on trim and drivetrain. When it’s time to recharge, the IONIQ 5’s 800-volt ultra-fast charging system enables a 10%–80% charge in approximately 20 minutes when connected to a 350 kW DC fast charger—making it ideal for both local commutes and road trips. 

For drivers facing snowy or slippery conditions, the available AWD system enhances traction and control, making the IONIQ 5 a capable companion for Maryland winters.
