Hyundai works together with Disney to present the IONIQ 5 Disney100 Platinum Edition, which was first seen as a concept design during last year's New York Auto Show. It is now rolling into dealership markets this year -- it is limited with only 1,000 units made.
Prepped for the roads, the design is a subtle celebration of the iconic Mickey Mouse with the exclusive alloy wheels that have details that nod to the character. There are many other emblems that quietly and abstractly honor Mickey Mouse. Otherwise, the car is made with a unique Gravity Gold Matte color as the exterior with mades that read Disney100 Platinum Edition along the front fenders and branding badges on the liftgate and hood.
