The Ioniq 5, the first car in Hyundai’s new Ioniq line-up and the first Hyundai automobile to be constructed on a new specialized E-GMP battery electric vehicle platform, ushers in a new era for EV design as well as EV performance and capability, says Hyundai. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 gets a Rear-Wheel Drive, Solar & Vision Roof, Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) feature, Ambient Mood Lights, Power Tailgate, Rain-Sensing Wipers, Blind-Spot View Monitor(BVM), and Voice Recognition Vehicle Control, among many others.

Laxmi Intercontinental has pledged to promote EV culture in Nepal beyond simply selling vehicles through the innovative new structure, as well as by expanding the charging stations throughout the country. The company has successfully installed 40 charging stations at different locations across the country.

The Ioniq 5 will go head to head against the upcoming Kia EV6 crossover in the Nepalese market.
