India, April 29 -- Hyundai has launched the updated Ioniq 5 in India, priced at Rs.55.7 lakh (ex-showroom). The 2026 update brings a larger battery, refreshed styling, upgraded cabin tech and added safety features, making the premium EV a more rounded package.

The biggest upgrade is the new 84.0kWh battery pack, replacing the earlier unit. Hyundai claims a driving range of up to 690km (ARAI-certified), addressing range anxiety and improving long-distance usability. When compared, the outgoing model used a 72.6 kWh battery, which used to have a claimed range of 631 km. The new battery pack positions the Ioniq 5 as a stronger contender in the premium EV space.
