Natural fuel prices are skyrocketing, and then comes the EV revolution. While ICE cars remain immortal to the fun element, there are many dull engines and dull gear ratios. Nothing dull about the duo we drove. Meet the Hyundai Ioniq 5, an engineering marvel of car design and space, and one of the sportiest EVS in the Indian market, the Volvo XC 40 Recharge. The future of mobility is inevitably electric. These cars are some of the best cars, around INR 50L. Hyundai Ioniq 5 is an RWD drift machine in the right hands, and a sleeper performance AWD EV based on its ICE sibling, the Volvo XC40 Recharge brings insane torque at all motor RPMs. Both these cars offer great value propositions considering the package they bring to the roads. India is inching towards electricity as an alternative fuel, and the infrastructure is increasing rapidly compared to other alternative fuels of the past. This brings efficient driving pleasures and loads of features, unlike any ICE car in the market. Let's check out both these engineering marvels and their competency.
WHITENESS MEETS DARKNESS
INTERIOR
Hyundai Ioniq 5 feature list is so immense narrating it would make this video a short film about the car. The interiors exude opulence with a massive wheelbase, ivory-clad interiors made from sustainable materials like dyeing leather with flaxseed oil, recycled bottles, and paper-feel materials from corn, sugarcane and flower extracts. V2L, vehicle to load, allows users to power their appliances in and outside the Ioniq 5 in a unique blend of utility, function and style. The design team went bonkers with this car. The flat bottom steering unit with Morse code-styled alphabet H features a Mercedes AMG-inspired drive selector and drive modes. It is lightweight in Eco mode and weighs apt for Normal and Sport modes.
