Hyundai IONIQ 5 N vs Toyota Urban Cruiser EV

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N has the higher published DC fast-charging figure at 350 kW, which is roughly 133% higher than the Toyota Urban Cruiser EV at 150 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N finishes in about 18 minutes, which is 7 minutes quicker than the Toyota Urban Cruiser EV at 25 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N has a WLTP rated range of approximately 448 km, which is roughly 46 km more than the Toyota Urban Cruiser EV at approximately 402 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Toyota Urban Cruiser EV consumes 181 Wh/km, compared to 205 Wh/km for the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N. That means the Toyota Urban Cruiser EV uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N has approximately 80 kWh of useable battery , while the Toyota Urban Cruiser EV has approximately 60 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

If fast charging is your priority, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N has the higher published DC figure (up to 350 kW) while matching the quickest published 10-80% time at approximately 18 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Toyota Urban Cruiser EV is the more efficient choice at 181 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N has a WLTP rated range of approximately 448 km, which is roughly 46 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
