The 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5, [2022 World Car Of the Year, ](https://www.carpro.com/vehicle-reviews/2022-hyundai-ioniq-5-limited-awd-review)can add another award to its trophy shelf - that of *Car and Driver’s* EV of the Year Award. The publication recently named the IONIQ 5 the top electric vehicle out of 20 top-rated EVs it evaluated over a three-week testing period.   

“The IONIQ 5 is an attractive proposition for buyers who desire the performance, range, and charging speeds of far more expensive EVs at an accessible price,” said Tony Quiroga, editor-in-chief, *Car and Driver.*

*Car and Driver* says just like its 10Best Awards, the EV award winner must exceed the expectations of the Car and Driver editorial and testing teams in four key areas:

- Value
- Mission Fulfillment
- Technology Advancement
- Fun to Drive

Hyundai says that *Car and Driver* employed instrumented testing, subjective evaluation and side-by-side comparison in both practicality and entertainment value.

“IONIQ 5 successfully launched our new family of IONIQ electric vehicles and exclusive Electric-Global Modular Platform that allows for more interior space and greater performance,” said José Muñoz, president and CEO, Hyundai Motor North America. “IONIQ 5 continues to satisfy customers and we will build on this momentum with the launch of the IONIQ 6 and 7. Accolades like the Car and Driver EV of the Year are particularly rewarding to the teams that designed and engineered IONIQ 5 to deliver standout charging speed, innovative features and driving dynamics.”
