KUALA LUMPUR: The Hyundai Ioniq 5 has embarked on an epic "Go Far with Zero Worries" tour covering an exceptional 2,751 km route in 11 days across five ASEAN countries. The flagging-off ceremony of the convoy, which comprises five Hyundai Ioniq 5 EVs, took place at the Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center Singapore (HMGICS) on 20 November 2023. 

From the bustling streets of Singapore, the convoy will navigate through the transcendent beauty of Malaysia, the vibrancy of Thailand, the cultural richness of Cambodia, and the historical charm of Vietnam. It will conclude at Ho Chi Minh City’s Royal Palace in Vietnam on 30 November 2023 after exploring more than 20 iconic destinations, including the Penang Heritage Walk in Malaysia and the Bayon Temple in Cambodia. The convoy took a halt at Sime Darby Motors City in Ara Damansara yesterday.

Organised by the Association of Singapore (AAS) and Hyundai, with the support of Hyundai's ASEAN headquarters, this tour aims to highlight the Ioniq 5's reliability, eco-friendliness, and long-distance capabilities.  

The convoy consists of three cars from Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center Singapore (HMGICS) and two from Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (HMMI). A group of 24 participants with diverse backgrounds, comprising representatives from Hyundai Motor Company, the AAS, Hyundai club members, local community influencers from ASEAN countries, and Key Opinion Leaders (KOL) from Indonesia and Thailand, will participate in this journey.

“This thousand miles of EV comfort and eco-friendly drive will prove that going the distance has never been this stylish.”

“The tour not only marks a historic collaboration between many key stakeholders but also symbolises seamless connectivity and cooperation across borders. This journey becomes a catalyst for positive change and technological innovation,” says Hyundai.
