2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 allocation announced for Victoria, Queensland, and WA buyers

A second release of the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is set to become available for buyers in Victoria, Queensland, and Western Australia from next Thursday, January 27.

The second allocation will go on sale from 12pm in Victoria (AEDT), 11am in Queensland (AEST) and 9am in Western Australia (AWST).

Those who missed out on the first haul of 240 Ioniq 5s, which sold out on the Hyundai website in two hours, will get another chance in the coming weeks.

To help avoid another website crash, Hyundai Australia has been rolling out the second release based on buyers’ locations. Those in New South Wales and the ACT were given their opportunity last month.

"We are staggering the ordering process across the other states [and territories] in the coming weeks to assist in managing order processing timeframes,” a spokesperson for the brand told Wheels in December.

“Note that this will not affect delivery timing – that is, even though NSW and ACT have ordered first, they will not receive their cars before other states.”

Prospective customers have been warned the second allocation “could take six months or more,” with stock allocated based on a first-come-first-serve basis.

As with the NSW/ACT release, the Korean carmaker has not disclosed how many vehicles will be available to order at this allocation.

The fully-electric Ioniq 5 starts from $71,900 before on-road costs for the rear-wheel-drive model, or $75,900 plus on-road costs for the all-wheel-drive variant.

The second release of the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 goes on sale for the selected buyers at 12pm AEDT on January 27 on the Hyundai website.
