Hyundai Ioniq V Pre-Orders Open in China at CNY 119,900

On August 21, Beijing Hyundai Motor Co., Ltd. announced that its all-new Hyundai Ioniq V, unveiled at the 2026 Chengdu Motor Show (CDMS), had opened for pre-orders in China with pre-sale prices starting at CNY 119,900. The SUV adopts a spacecraft-inspired exterior intended to move away from the rounded and homogeneous styling commonly associated with new energy vehicles (NEVs). It measures 4,900 mm in length, 1,890 mm in width, and 1,470 mm in height, while its wheelbase reaches 2,900 mm, establishing a comparatively long footprint for the vehicle.

Battery and Intelligent Cockpit Technology

The Hyundai Ioniq V uses a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery supplied by Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd (CATL) and records energy consumption of 11.1 kWh/100 km. Its “Nebula Wraparound” intelligent cockpit combines a 27-inch 4K display with an 11.98-inch Horizon head-up display (H-HUD). The system is powered by the 5 nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P flagship chip, providing 30 TOPS of AI computing power. It also integrates Baidu Inc.’s ERNIE and Beijing Volcano Engine Technology Co., Ltd.’s Doubao large language models (LLMs), with four-zone voice recognition and external voice broadcasting.

Advanced Driver Assistance System

For intelligent driving, the SUV features the “Xingdong Zhixing” driver assistance system jointly developed by Beijing Hyundai Motor Co Ltd and Beijing Momenta Technology Co Ltd. The system combines one millimeter-wave radar, twelve ultrasonic radars, and seven HD cameras to provide L2+ assisted driving capabilities. Its vision-based perception approach is designed to maintain stable perception performance in rain, snow, and strong-light conditions. The system supports full-scenario parking assistance, Highway Navigation Pilot (HNP), and Urban Navigation Pilot (UNP) Lite, with tuning focused on China’s complex road conditions and continuous system improvement.

Intelligent Driving and Market Positioning

The Ioniq V brings together an LFP battery, high-performance computing hardware, large-format displays, AI language models, and an L2+ driver assistance system within a newly styled SUV. Its intelligent driving package is specifically adapted to Chinese road conditions, while its cockpit architecture emphasizes both visual information delivery and voice interaction. The combination gives the vehicle a technology-focused positioning within China’s NEV market, while the CNY 119,900 starting pre-sale price establishes its initial market entry point following its debut at the 2026 Chengdu Motor Show.
