That's an odd choice. Is it a revamp of the Ioniq 5 or a different vehicle named Ioniq V? Very confusing because V means 5 but the pricing and look make me think it's not the same vehicle.

Seems like a China-only release. The ioniq 5 never released in China. I assume if they ever bring the model to other markets, they'd do so under a different name.

Oh, I guess that makes sense if the 5 wasn't released there.

You mean like the Chevy Volt and Bolt?

What's even more annoying about that is that between the two names, Volt is more obviously electric-themed but is the less electric vehicle.

And yes, I know that the Volt came first, as the first mass market plug in hybrid in the US market, but that just made the Bolt's name even more confusing.

Just wait for the 2028 Jolt.

Is this the same model that's going for $50k+ in Canada?
