Witnessing the tremendous success and excitement generated by the Ioniq 5 ASEAN Tour, we are propelled to intensify our comprehensive innovation aimed at fortifying the EV (electric vehicle) infrastructure and ecosystem across the region. The journey may have concluded, but the electric excitement has just begun,” noted Hyundai Motor Company ASEAN President Youngtack Lee.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 ASEAN tour was carried out in partnership with several participants from the Association of Singapore, local community influencers, and key opinion leaders from Indonesia and Thailand.

This transformative tour removes my anxiety on EVs capabilities, conclusively proving that EVs not only cover long distances but do so with such style, comfort and reliability,” stated Nithi Thuamprathom, an influencer from Thailand.
Meanwhile, Cambodian influencer and automotive expert Fitra Eri said: “As the first proud owner of the Ioniq 5 in Indonesia, my electric vehicle journey shattered the anxiety about city limits. This tour not only confirmed that beyond urban boundaries, we experienced zero worries and unmatched convenience during long-distance drives with the Ioniq 5 crossing borders of different countries, but it also erased anxieties about finding charging stations.”
