Interior Comfort and Space
Step inside the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5, and the cabin immediately feels open and intentional.

The cabin materials feel clean and modern, with cloth- or H-Tex-trimmed seating available depending on trim level. Dual automatic climate control keeps the interior comfortable year-round, while available rear air vents help ensure second-row passengers stay comfortable during longer drives. Families will appreciate child safety features like LATCH anchors, rear door safety locks, and a wide rear door opening that makes loading car seats easier.
Cargo space is another highlight. With the rear seats up, the IONIQ 5 offers plenty of room for groceries or daily gear. Fold the rear seats down, and cargo capacity expands to support larger items or weekend plans.
