    I think we will see the Ioniq 5, but probably not till Q1 next year at the earliest

    As I mentioned on another thread, the Ioniq 5 cannot appear unless Motability change the scheme rules. Although cars like the XC40 and Peugeot 3008 have cars up to circa £45k on the scheme, that’s because these models have ‘qualifying’ entry level models that are below the current price caps. As the Ioniq 5 is a stand alone model with an entry price of £37k it wouldn’t qualify unless the rules change (which I hope that they do, as it would open up a heck of a lot more choice of bigger vehicles).

    The reason I’ve suggested that time scale is because I believe the price will drop, the Kona top level has dropped £6k, and I think the Ioniq 5 will also drop significantly once the initial rush is over, there is a possibility they will aslo start going the VAG route of a cheap base, and add on packs.

    The base ID.4 is just under £35k, so very little difference in price
