Front-seat side airbags are standard across every UK Hyundai IONIQ 5 trim, so airbag-compatible cover seams with breakaway thread are non-negotiable. The N Line has sport-styled seats with integrated headrests, and the IONIQ 5 N (641 hp) adds heavily bolstered bucket seats, so those trims need semi-custom covers cut for them. On non-N trims the rear bench slides about 135 mm fore and aft.

Frequently asked questions
Will a universal cover fit the sport-seat trims?
N Line fits sport-styled seats with integrated headrests; the IONIQ 5 N (641 hp) adds heavily bolstered bucket seats that block strap-mount organisers. Semi-custom covers cut for those specific trims fit; strictly-universal covers do not.
Do covers cross-fit related models in the Hyundai range?
The Hyundai IONIQ 5’s front seat shape is shared with some siblings in the same generation, but rear cushion width usually differs. Confirm by measuring cushion width before buying a cross-model set.
