Two new designs have been added to Hyundai’s sleekly designed crossover.
Hyundai changed the Ioniq model name from a model name last summer to a sub-brand. It teased three new models under that marquee. The Ioniq 5 was the first to debut this week. It features a unique crossover design with strong lines and blocky lighting. KDesign AG created unofficial renderings of the model, which give the crossover the N Line treatment and transform it into a sedan.
The Ioniq5 N Line rendering provides all the necessary N Line upgrades to the crossover. The crossover features a lower front bumper and a more aggressive rear vale. The standard Ioniq 5’s 20-inch aero-optimized wheels are gone. They are now replaced with sportier-looking shoes. The crossover also appears to be lower than the ground. This would likely be true if Hyundai offered such an option, giving it a performance-oriented suspension.
The Ioniq sedan render takes the extended roof and squashes it. Although the front view with its tall and upright windshield is odd, the rear view is better proportioned. Although the rear looks a little chunky due to the integrated spoiler lip between the crossover’s rectangular sidelights, it is still very pleasing. The crossover’s sharp lines and wild-looking wheels are still evident. It is difficult to convert the crossover into a sedan due to its long wheelbase.
Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 was designed for maximum interior space, comfort, and a wheelbase that is 3.9 inches wider than the Hyundai Palisade (larger three-row Hyundai Palisade). Hyundai paired the spacious interior with a flat-floor design, which is now possible thanks to an all-electric motor. Hyundai won’t give the Ioniq 5 a sedan treatment, as it plans to make the Prophecy 6 the production version. We hope Hyundai will stick to the Prophecy’s design just as it did with the 45 Concept, and the Ioniq5.
