Article Summaries:
- Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 is reportedly in the midst of a significant redesign. A prototype captured by TheKoreanCarBlog shows a largely unchanged exterior but a Tesla‑style interior: a single large infotainment screen replaces the current dual‑display setup, physical climate controls are removed, and the steering wheel now features dual scroller buttons. The center console and door actuators are also updated. The 2025 model already added an 84 kWh battery, 318‑mile EPA range, and a NACS port for Tesla Superchargers.
