After what feels like years, Hyundai has finally released pricing of the next generation of its IONIQ EV, the IONIQ 5. It may or may not be cheaper than you expected.

Riding on Hyundai’s new E-GMP platform , the IONIQ is no longer the compact liftback we’ve come to know. While it appears that it’s a small hatchback, Hyundai says it’s a crossover. I don’t see it. But anyway.

The base IONIQ is the SE Standard range. While it’s the cheapest in the lineup, it’s also the least powerful and has the lowest range. With 168 horsepower from its rear motor and 220 miles of range, the SE Standard Range will start at $39,700. Hyundai is quick to point out that after the $7,500 Federal Tax Credit that that price drops to $32,200. While attractive, you’re going to have to wait if you want one. Hyundai says the SE Standard Range won’t be available until Spring 2022.
