Hyundai Ioniq 5 Gearbox Replacement Parts

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 launched in the UK in 2021 and received a facelift for the 2024 model year, bringing updates to the battery, software, and interior. For gearbox purposes, the key detail is not the model year alone but the drive configuration — single-motor rear-wheel drive or dual-motor all-wheel drive — because each uses a different reduction gear unit. Always confirm the exact specification of the donor vehicle against your registration before buying.

Both the 2022 and 2023 Ioniq 5 sit within the pre-facelift generation, so a gearbox from that period is more likely to be compatible provided the drive configuration matches exactly — single-motor RWD to single-motor RWD, or dual-motor AWD to dual-motor AWD. The Ioniq 5 uses a single-speed reduction gearbox rather than a conventional multi-speed unit, so there is no traditional gear selection to match, but the unit is still motor-specific. Confirm ancillary and mounting details with the breaker against your registration before proceeding.

The 2024 facelift introduced updated motor and battery specifications, which means a reduction gear unit from a 2021–2023 car crossing into a 2024 facelift model is an uncertain swap. Name the boundary confidently — pre-facelift ends with 2023 production and the facelift begins with 2024 — but whether the specific unit interchanges across that boundary is something you must confirm with the breaker against your registration number.

Trim level does not affect gearbox fitment on the Ioniq 5; the reduction gear unit is determined by whether the car is single-motor rear-wheel drive or dual-motor all-wheel drive, not by whether it is a Standard Range, Premium, or Ultimate. You may find cosmetic or interior differences between donor and recipient cars, but none of those affect the mechanical drivetrain. Focus on matching the drive configuration and confirming the motor specification with the breaker.

Because the Ioniq 5 uses an electric motor rather than a combustion engine, there is no traditional engine code, so the most important details to supply are your full registration number, the drive configuration (RWD or AWD), and the battery size if known (58 kWh or 77.4 kWh in pre-facelift models). ECU pairing and any immobiliser or inverter coding requirements are things you must confirm directly with the breaker rather than assume, as these can vary. Providing your V5 or running a VIN check will give the breaker everything they need to source the correct unit.

The Ioniq 5 N uses a significantly uprated dual-motor powertrain with different motor outputs and a two-speed rear transmission unit, which makes it mechanically distinct from the standard Ioniq 5 dual-motor setup. A reduction gear unit from a standard AWD Ioniq 5 is very unlikely to be a straightforward swap into an Ioniq 5 N or vice versa. Always confirm compatibility with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing.
