At least Mustang's retro design was of a vehicle people loved and clamored for. Can the same be said of this Hyundai? No. The S550 platform is recognizable as a Mustang to all but the visually impaired. Not sure how you define retro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how you define retro. The '05 was retro. And since they were more minor refreshes up to 2014 could be considered retro. But '15 isn't. It certainly still has Mustang cues, but it's not retro. Challenger is another retro vehicle. Cues and a copy are separate things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) More details: https://www.autoblog.com/2021/05/24/2022-hyundai-ioniq-5-reveal-north-america/ Sharing the E-GMP platform with the also newly revealed Kia EV6, the Ioniq 5 will target 300 miles of range and be capable of 800-volt charging, with the ability to charge from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes on a 350-kW charger. It also shares the EV6’s vehicle-to-load capabilities, which means it can power small appliances and even provide charge to another electric vehicle. Ioniq 5 customers will enjoy two years of unlimited 30-minute charging sessions at Electrify America chargers. The North American models will be offered with a 77.4-kWh battery pack (Hyundai told Autoblog the smaller, 58-kWh battery offered in other markets doesn't meet U.S. customer range expectations — at least for now). The single-motor Ioniq 5 offers 225 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with a driving range of up to 300 miles. The dual-motor SE and SEL models target 269 miles on a charge. The range-topping dual-motor Limited AWD trim provides a total of 320 horsepower and 446 pound-feet of torque, with a 0-60 time of less than 5 seconds, but sacrifices some range at 244 miles. All are limited to a top speed of 115 miles per hour, with a 1,500-pound towing capacity. The U.S. will not get the solar roof panels as an option — again due to not quite meeting American expectations for range-adding benefits.

To my ears, 5.0 Mustangs of that era have the best sounds with their delightful burble. I miss those sounds. Some of the younger crowd have really put together awesome Fox body Mustangs. Easy to modify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
