The zero-emission 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 brings a smooth, modern driving experience to State College, offering the practicality that young professionals, faculty members, and campus-area commuters value most. At Blaise Alexander Hyundai of State College, this all-electric SUV fits comfortably into daily routines, from short campus loops to relaxed weekend drives across Centre County. Its design emphasizes ease of use, quiet performance, and long-term efficiency for a wide range of local lifestyles. Let’s take a deep dive into this new Hyundai EV.

Power and Performance

The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 offers several powertrain options to match the varied driving patterns around State College. Single-motor rear-wheel drive models provide 168 horsepower or 225 horsepower, ideal for effortless commuting through town or navigating College Avenue. Dual-motor all-wheel drive models deliver 320 horsepower for drivers who want extra traction during changing seasons.

Technology Features

Inside this new Hyundai EV, dual 12.3-inch screens create a clean, intuitive command center that keeps essential information within easy view. The spacious interior offers comfortable seating and flexible cargo room, making it easy to balance grocery stops, campus activities, or day trips across central Pennsylvania. Wireless Device Charging™ keeps devices powered on the go, and available Digital Key® access adds everyday convenience, all within a streamlined layout designed to reduce distraction.

Safety Features

The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 comes equipped with Hyundai SmartSense™, a suite of advanced driver-assistance tools designed for mixed driving throughout State College. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, and Smart Cruise Control add helpful reassurance during heavy traffic near campus. Available features such as blind-spot monitoring and a 360-degree camera improve visibility in crowded parking areas and tighter residential streets.

Range and Charging

The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 provides versatile driving capability through its carryover 2025 battery options, giving State College drivers the flexibility to match their range needs. Standard Range models are well-suited for daily commuting and short errands (roughly 260 miles), while the Long Range battery supports extended regional travel with an EPA-estimated range of up to 318 miles on select rear-wheel drive trims.

Charging is equally convenient — Level 1 and Level 2 home charging make it easy to top off overnight, and the EV’s 800-volt DC Ultra-Fast Charging architecture allows access to high-speed public chargers around campus and town, replenishing from 10% to 80% in as little as 20 minutes under optimal conditions.
