The Hyundai IONIQ 5, for the second consecutive year, has been named "the best electric vehicle of 2024" by Cars.com. The IONIQ 5's strengths are its fast charging ability, vast interior space, attractive design and advanced technology.
Ricky Lao, director of product planning, said, "This accomplishment both reflects and further inspires our company’s commitment to electrification. We’re particularly proud that the IONIQ 5’s long list of virtues continues to make it the leader in a very competitive and rapidly changing EV environment.”
Jenni Newman, editor-in-chief of Cars.com., said: "This is the second year in a row the Hyundai IONIQ 5 won our Best Electric Vehicle — and rightfully so. Its speedy charging, abundant yet easy-to-use tech and avant-garde styling makes it a well-balanced ride for those looking to purchase an EV.”
An interesting feature of this car is the use of carbon fiber. In fact, Hyundai has integrated this material into lightweight hybrid wheels, front splitter, rear diffuser, side skirts and spoiler, combining aesthetics and functionality.
Dymag, the world leader in lightweight wheels for the automotive industry, and its partner specializing in composite materials, Hankuk Carbon, have developed carbon hybrid wheels for the IONIQ 5 model with Hyundai.
The wheel is 21 inches tall and combines a composite outer rim, made of carbon fiber, with a precision machined metal center element, painted in Satin Black. The entire
N Performance wheel weighs about 7 kilograms less than an alloy version, for a total of 10 kilograms.
