Every month we give an electric car away for free. We want to give everyone the chance to experience the joy of electric – whether that’s on a new lease deal, with a second-hand bargain, or winning one for free.
This month’s EV Giveaway prize is a Hyundai IONIQ 5 Ultimate worth £55,445! The Hyundai IONIQ 5 is deceptively large. At 4.6 metres long and with a massive three-metre wheelbase, it’s about the size of a family SUV. That wheelbase gives you an enormous amount of interior space, with plenty of legroom in the front seats and rear legroom almost comparable to a limo. The interior can be adapted for all sorts of needs. It has one of the best glove boxes in any car – it’s a big pull-out drawer, basically – and the central storage is big enough for a laptop. A laptop you can plug in using the three-pin socket under the rear seats. There’s a sharp and feature-rich, 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system up front, complete with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone mirroring. Plus, the Ultimate spec car that we’re giving away this month features a premium Bose sound system and a head-up display with augmented reality navigation. The suspension is set up for soft comfort, which combined with the silent electric drivetrain makes the IONIQ 5 one of the most refined experiences you’ll ever have behind the wheel. The IONIQ 5 Ultimate comes with a 77kW/h battery, capable of up to 282 miles (WLTP rating) on a single charge. It fills with charge quickly too, capable of getting from 10% to 80% in as little as 18 – 36 minutes, when using a 350kW public charging station. Hyundai has an excellent track record for reliability, and the IONIQ 5 backs that up with a comprehensive warranty package: a five-year unlimited mileage warranty on most parts and an eight-year/100,000 miles warranty on the battery. The IONIQ 5 has also achieved a full five-star rating for safety from Euro NCAP and comes with a range of active safety features. They include automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, and a brilliant blind spot assistant that uses cameras to show your blind spots on the instrument panel when you flick the indicators. All in all, it’s a fantastic electric car – and it could be yours for free. Enter the giveaway this month for your chance to win it. You can learn more about the Hyundai IONIQ 5 here, and more about electric cars here.
