Join Gabe, Sales Consultant at Steele Hyundai Fredericton, as we explore the absolute king of range in the IONIQ 5 lineup: the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 Preferred RWD Long Range.
If autonomy is your top priority, this is the trim to get. It’s the most affordable way to get into a long-range IONIQ 5, offering a staggering 504 km of range on a single charge. Finished in the stunning Digital Teal, this EV combines striking design with incredible efficiency. Featuring a robust 224hp single electric motor powering the rear wheels, it offers a smooth, engaging driving experience that maximizes every kilowatt-hour.
Why the Preferred RWD is the Range Champion:
- Maximum Autonomy: With 504 km of range, you can comfortably drive from Fredericton to Halifax or Moncton and back without ever needing to stop to charge.
- 800V Architecture: Like all IONIQ 5 models, this car features true 800V fast-charging technology. When connected to a 350kW DC charger, you can charge from 10% to 80% in as little as 18 minutes.
- New NACS Charging Port: For 2026, the IONIQ 5 comes standard with the NACS (Tesla-style) charging port, giving you direct access to the massive Tesla Supercharger network.
- Adaptability Included: We still include CCS1 and J1772 adapters so you can utilize all existing public fast chargers and your Level 2 home setup with ease.
- Modernized Technology: Enjoy the updated cabin with the ccNC infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ on the dual 12.3-inch displays.
- Canadian Winters: Includes a Heat Pump system and Heated Front Seats/Steering Wheel to keep you comfortable without sacrificing range in the cold.
Digital Teal: Standing Out from the Crowd
Digital Teal is a unique, sophisticated color that shifts between green and blue depending on the lighting. It perfectly complements the IONIQ 5’s pixel design, giving the car a high-tech, futuristic aesthetic that sets it apart from traditional colors.
The 2026 IONIQ 5 Preferred RWD is the ultimate combination of value, incredible range, and ultra-fast charging capabilities.
