Auto123 reviews the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 RWD, which doesn’t deliver power to all four wheels or a rear wiper, but still proved worthy in winter.
There are certain parts of the country where Hyundai’s distinct-looking Ioniq 5 is as common a sight, it seems, as the Tesla Model 3. Namely, in Quebec. But Quebec has winters, and even if those are tending to be less severe than before, they still provide a good test for an EV. Even more so, an EV with one motor and thus two-wheel drive, like the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 RWD we tested out at the tail end of winter. Did we mention the absence of a rear wiper? .

Boshouwers Technology in the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 RWD – 8.5/10The Ioniq 5 was one of the first mass-market EVs to incorporate an 800V battery system, which allows for ultra-fast charging – assuming you have access to an ultra-fast DC charging station.
The differences between the performances of the two powertrain configurations are substantial enough that, unless squeezing the most range possible out of your Ioniq 5 is a top priority for you, the beefier option is probably worth the extra cost if you can swing it.
