Hyundai Canada launches pre-order program for the highly-anticipated IONIQ 5 electric CUV
Hyundai Canada announced June 2 the launch of the pre-sale program for the highly anticipated, electric IONIQ 5 Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV). Pre-orders for the IONIQ 5 are now available through Hyundai Canada’s consumer site by clicking here. Limited quantities will be available at Hyundai Canada dealerships coast-to-coast, and pricing will be announced closer to start of sales later this year.
“Since the IONIQ 5 was revealed earlier this year, it’s the vehicle our dealers, existing customers and new fans of the Hyundai brand are most eager to experience, and we can see why. IONIQ 5 offers progressive design, the versatility, space and capability of a utility vehicle, with the low cost of ownership and driving pleasure one can only achieve from driving fully-electric,” says Don Romano, president and CEO of Hyundai Canada.
The Rapid Progression of Hyundai Canada’s EV Business
Hyundai Canada is committed to leading the growth of mainstream EV adoption in Canada and meeting the needs of the increasing number of consumers who are interested in switching to an EV. A recent example of this commitment is Hyundai recently making all four of its fast chargers located at the Hyundai Canada headquarters in Markham, Ontario free and accessible to all EV owners, regardless of whether or not they are a Hyundai customer.
IONIQ 5 joins an already well-rounded emission-free portfolio at Hyundai currently consisting of the Ioniq, the Kona EV, and the NEXO fuel cell SUV. For those seeking plug-in or hybrid options, Hyundai offers electrified versions of the additional Ioniq vehicles, Elantra, Sonata, Tucson and Santa Fe.
With well over the majority of the portfolio now electrified, Hyundai Canada dealers are fully committed to enhancing their operations in order to continue to provide an exceptional EV customer experience at every turn. Hyundai Canada’s entire dealer network is now fully committed to becoming EV-certified in accordance with Hyundai’s Dealership EV standards. These standards include: upgrading charging capability, extensive training for dealership staff and purchasing the necessary tools to service electric vehicle batteries.
IONIQ 5 is part of Hyundai Motor Group’s plan to introduce 23 BEV models and sell 1-million BEV units worldwide by 2025. Following the launch of IONIQ 5, Hyundai will expand its BEV lineup with IONIQ 6, a midsize electric sedan, and IONIQ 7, a large electric SUV.
“IONIQ 5 addresses the range needs and overall space and functionality concerns many customers have about taking the leap to drive electric. Not only is the all-new IONIQ 5 a vehicle that re-defines the possibilities of the EV lifestyle, it signals the next phase in Hyundai’s growing emission-free vehicle lineup,” concludes Romano. “The market and its offerings are evolving. The Canadian customer is steadily starting to embrace the idea of driving electric, and in signature Hyundai style, we are ready to meet them there with what they expect, and more.”
Canadians can begin pre-ordering the IONIQ 5 today. For more information and to pre-order the IONIQ 5 CUV, please visit: https://www.hyundaicanada.com/en/coming-soon/2022-ioniq-5/pre-order
