The award-winning Hyundai Ioniq 5, India’s flagship electric vehicle (EV), has received a subtle yet sophisticated style upgrade. While enthusiasts eagerly await the globally unveiled facelift, Hyundai has introduced a new exterior paint option and an additional cabin theme to enhance the Ioniq 5’s appeal to Indian consumers.
Unveiling Titan Grey: A New Dimension in Style
The Ioniq 5’s color palette expands with the introduction of “Titan Grey,” a captivating shade that exudes a sense of modern elegance. This new option joins the existing lineup of three distinct colors:
Gravity Gold Matte: This unique matte finish offers a futuristic and eye-catching appeal.
Optic White: A timeless classic, white provides a clean and sophisticated look.
Midnight Black Pearl: This deep, luxurious black exudes an air of mystery and refinement.
With the addition of Titan Grey, Hyundai caters to a wider range of customer preferences. Whether you seek a bold statement, a timeless aesthetic, or a touch of contemporary elegance, the Ioniq 5 offers a perfect choice.
Embrace the Darkness with the Obsidian Black Interior
Complementing the new exterior option, Hyundai introduces the “Obsidian Black” interior theme. This all-black option creates a dramatic and sophisticated ambiance within the cabin. For those who prefer a lighter feel, the existing “Dark Pebble Grey” interior theme remains available.
The choice between these two interior themes boils down to personal preference. Dark Pebble Grey offers a contemporary and spacious feel, while Obsidian Black creates a more dramatic and luxurious environment.
