The Hyundai Ioniq 5<\/a> was launched in South Korea and Europe about six months ago, initially available with two battery options – 58 kWh and 72.6 kWh (see European specs here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In the U.S., the car will be available with a single, bigger battery version – 77.4 kWh<\/a>, but it will be launched at the very end of the year.<\/p>\n

One might wonder why there is about 5 kWh differences<\/span> <\/span>between the U.S. and the two other markets? Well, there is a new rumor that might explain it.<\/p>\n

According to etnews.com<\/em><\/a> (via Motor1.com<\/em><\/a>), in early 2022, Hyundai will launch in South Korea and abroad a new 77.5 kWh (0.1 kWh difference might be due to rounding<\/span>). As we understand<\/span>, this new pack would take the place of the 72.6 kWh version.<\/span><\/p>\n
