Does Ioniq 5 Have Autopilot? Hyundai's Self-Driving, Explained
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric vehicle has many new features, including a Level 2 autonomous driving system. The EV also has an EPA-certified maximum driving range of 303 miles and an All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) system. Furthermore, Hyundai has used its new E-GMP modular platform for the Ioniq 5, which will help the brand launch its next generation of electric vehicles.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is available in four trim levels — Standard Range, SE, SL, SEL and Limited edition. The EV has a starting price of $39,700 for the base model that offers a 220-mile driving range. It directly targets the Tesla Model 3 Rear-Wheel-Drive (RWD) version, which also costs around $40,000 depending upon a state's tax incentive. With Tesla being the long-standing champion of EVs, any other car that wishes to target it needs to offer more than just a long driving range.

As a result, the Ioniq 5 offers Level 2 autonomous driving capabilities in its mid to high-trim variants to compete against the Tesla Autopilot. The Hyundai self-driving system on the Ioniq 5 consists of three main parts — Forward Collision Awareness Assist, Highway Driving Assist 2, and Driver Attention Warning system. These systems also have several sub-parts that make up the electric vehicle's self-driving tech.
The full name is Forward Collision Awareness Assist with Pedestrian Detection system or FCA-Ped for short. Its main job is to alert the driver and apply emergency brakes in case of an imminent crash. The FCA-Ped has two primary modes — 'Active Assist' and 'Warning Only.' When the Active Assist is turned on, the system will sound an alarm and apply brakes to mitigate an imminent forward collision.
