Hyundai Ioniq 5 Timing Chain Replacement Parts

No — the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a fully electric vehicle across every variant sold in the UK, meaning it has no internal combustion engine at all. Without an engine, there is no timing chain, camshaft, or any related valvetrain components. If you are searching for a timing chain, it is possible you are looking at the wrong vehicle, or you may have confused the Ioniq 5 with a petrol or diesel Hyundai model such as the Ioniq (first-generation hybrid/PHEV) or another Hyundai in the range.

Because the Ioniq 5 is battery-electric, it does not use a timing chain or any engine-driven timing components — there is simply no combustion engine to time. If your concern is related to a noise or a mechanical fault, the Ioniq 5's drivetrain consists of electric motors, a single-speed reduction gearbox, and associated inverters and controllers rather than a traditional engine. A UK breaker specialising in EVs or Hyundai electric vehicles would be the right starting point to diagnose what component you actually need.

This question does not apply to the Ioniq 5, as no variant of this model — 2021 onwards — was ever fitted with a timing chain or any combustion engine. The Ioniq 5 uses only electric motors in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations, so there is no timing chain to source from any year of this vehicle. If you are looking for a drivetrain component, contact a breaker with your registration so they can identify the correct electric drivetrain part for your specific variant.

Trim level is irrelevant here, but not for the usual reason — the Ioniq 5 does not have a timing chain in any trim, including SE Connect, Ultimate, N Line, or any other UK specification. All trim levels share the same fully electric powertrain, so none of them have a combustion engine or timing components of any kind. If you are trying to source a drivetrain or powertrain part, let a breaker know your trim and whether your car is rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive, as motor configuration does differ between variants.

The original Hyundai Ioniq (sold in the UK from 2016) was available in hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric versions, and the hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants do use a petrol engine that includes a timing chain — but this is a completely different vehicle from the Ioniq 5. The Ioniq 5 is a dedicated electric-only model on a different platform and shares no engine components with the original Ioniq. A timing chain from the earlier Ioniq hybrid will not fit or be of any use on an Ioniq 5.
