IONIQ V Pre-orders Launch at 2026 Chengdu Auto Show: From ¥119,900, Up to 650 km CLTC Range

On August 21, the 2026 Chengdu Auto Show officially opened, and BeijingHyundai's new premium new energy brand — IONIQ — unveiled pre-orders for its first model, the IONIQ V. The vehicle will be offered in three trims, with pre-order prices ranging from ¥119,900 to ¥139,900. Developed end-to-end by Hyundai's China Design Center and purpose-built for Chinese users — with plans for global rollout — the IONIQ V marks a pivotal move in BeijingHyundai's new energy strategy.

Exterior design embraces "flat geometric surfaces + digital aesthetics": a closed front grille pairs with a split headlamp layout — featuring a horizontal full-width DRL strip above and integrated low/high-beam units embedded within the front bumper. Eight color options are available: Cyber Gold, Dimensional Purple, Gamma Green, Magnetic Gray, Photon White (in both solid and matte finishes), Radiant Silver, and Nightblade Black. Fastback roofline, frameless doors, black window trim, and Dimensional Starlight taillights further reinforce its sporty positioning. Dimensions measure 4900 × 1890 × 1470 mm, with a wheelbase of 2900 mm — offering notable interior space advantages in its class.

The interior adopts a Nebula Embracing layout, combining suede-like materials with vibrant accent trims and Nebula-inspired ambient lighting for a high-tech feel. At the cabin's core sits a 27-inch ultra-thin 4K central touchscreen; the infotainment system deeply integrates AI large language models including ERNIE Bot and Doubao, and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 cockpit chip. Also featured is the Cyber Eye HUD head-up display. For driver assistance, the vehicle will equip the Momenta ADAS system, supporting intelligent highway-assist functions.

The powertrain features a single-motor layout with two output variants: maximum power of 140 kW and 168 kW; paired with 53.5 kWh and 66.8 kWh battery packs, delivering CLTC all-electric ranges of 520 km, 540 km, 620 km, and 650 km.
