Hyundai Ioniq 5 Major Price Cut: Up to €5,000 Discount
Synopsis: Dit artikel is een samenvatting van content gepubliceerd door Hyundai Newsroom op 10/1/2025
Hyundai Ioniq 5 discount up to €5,000 — that's the news for Dutch buyers in 2026. The popular electric crossover is now available starting at €37,995, a significant price drop compared to previous years. Globally, Hyundai reduced prices by an average of €8,500.
New prices in the Netherlands
Hyundai Netherlands currently offers:
| Version | New price | Discount |
|---|---|---|
| Ioniq 5 base | from €37,995 | €5,000 |
| Ioniq 5 84 kWh RWD | from €46,995 | varies |
| Ioniq 5 N | from €73,995 | - |
The €5,000 discount including VAT applies to selected versions. Additionally, Hyundai offers financing benefits up to €3,000, further reducing monthly costs.
Why the price reduction?
Hyundai cites two reasons:
- Record sales in 2025 — higher volumes reduce unit costs
- Own production — the new Megaplant in the US produces more efficiently
In the US, the price reduction compensates for the expiration of the $7,500 federal subsidy. In the Netherlands, there's no direct subsidy anymore (SEPP ended), but the lower price makes the Ioniq 5 more attractive.
What does this mean for bijtelling?
With the new starting price of €37,995, the Ioniq 5 falls above the €30,000 threshold for the reduced 18% bijtelling rate.
Calculation example at €37,995:
- Bijtelling: 18% × €30,000 + 22% × €7,995 = €5,400 + €1,759 = €7,159 per year
- That's €597 per month gross added to your salary
For comparison: at the old price of €42,995, that was €8,259 per year — a difference of €1,100 per year, or €92 per month.
What do you get for that price?
The Ioniq 5 remains one of the strongest EVs in its class:
- Range: Up to 507 km (WLTP) with 84 kWh battery
- 800V charging: 10-80% in 18 minutes at 350 kW charger
- Power: 168 kW (229 hp) RWD or 239 kW (325 hp) AWD
- Vehicle-to-Load: 3.6 kW outlet in the car
The 2026 version is technically unchanged. New additions include a supplied charging cable and extra color options.
