Hyundai has taken a magical turn with Disney in the passenger seat. The IONIQ 5 Disney100 Platinum Edition, initially unveiled as a concept at the 2023 New York Auto Show, is officially rolling into dealerships.
This special-edition vehicle, born from a collaboration with Walt Disney Imagineering, is making a limited appearance with just 1,000 units up for grabs.
This road-ready model makes a subtle nod to Mickey Mouse, but nothing too goofy. Of note are the exclusive 20-inch alloy wheels, which quietly echo the character’s silhouette. As such, there are hidden Mickeys all around, presented in a sleek and abstract way on the rims.

Elsewhere, the car sports a unique ‘Gravity Gold Matte’ exterior, and adding to its distinctiveness are Disney100 Platinum Edition badges on the front fenders and sleek black ‘H’ badges on the hood and liftgate.

The interior features a dual-tone color scheme of brown and gray, complemented by special trim. Disney fans will appreciate the Disney100 logos adorning the front head restraints, center console, and floormats.

Under the hood, the Disney100 Platinum Edition is based on the powerful 320-horsepower, dual-motor all-wheel-drive IONIQ 5. It boasts an EPA-estimated range of 260 miles per charge.

This collaboration marks a first for Hyundai, with vehicle designers working alongside Walt Disney Imagineering to conjure up a car that celebrates Disney’s 100th anniversary. Now available at select dealerships, the IONIQ 5 Disney100 Platinum Edition is priced at US$59,400.
