Hyundai Motor India Limited have launched the Hyundai Ioniq 5 facelift in India at Rs 55.7 lakh (ex-showroom), marking a significant Rs 9 lakh increase over the previous price of Rs 46.3 lakh (ex-showroom).
The updated model represents the first facelift since its initial launch in 2023, bringing with it a series of meaningful upgrades across design, technology, and performance. The highlight of this update is the introduction of a larger 84 kWh battery pack, replacing the earlier 72.6 kWh unit, along with an increase in the claimed driving range from 631 km to 690 km.
This update positions the Ioniq 5 more competitively in India’s growing premium EV space, while also enhancing its appeal as a long-range electric crossover.

The facelift introduces subtle yet noticeable changes to the exterior design, while retaining the model’s distinctive retro-futuristic identity. The front bumper has been redesigned, lending the car a sharper and more contemporary appearance. Complementing this are newly designed aero-optimised 20 inch alloy wheels, aimed at improving efficiency.
At the rear, the updates include a revised bumper with a new diffuser and a redesigned spoiler, further enhancing the aerodynamic profile. The signature parametric pixel lighting continues to define the design, now complemented by a deeper garnish lighting treatment.
Additional updates include revised front and rear skid plates, adding a slightly more rugged visual character. Despite these changes, the overall silhouette and dimensions remain largely unchanged, preserving the original design language. The facelifted Ioniq 5 is offered in a range colours, including Gravity Gold Matte, Midnight Black Pearl, Titan Grey and Optic White.
