The players had just 18 minutes – the time it takes the Hyundai IONIQ 5 to charge from 10 per cent to 80 per cent – to solve a number of Chelsea FC riddles and complete football skill games to be crowned the winners.The teams pitted experience against youth, with Jorginho and Cesar Azpilicueta taking on Ben Chilwell and Billy Gilmour, and the challenge was hosted by Chelsea FC legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Each of the teams met other legends along the way, with Thomas Tuchel watching on.

Taking place at Stamford Bridge, the teams met pitchside while Hasselbaink plugged in his IONIQ 5 and the clock began to tick down from 18 minutes, adding roughly 60 miles of range to the car every five minutes. From there, the challenges took them all around their home stadium, from the museum to the dressing rooms, calling upon their knowledge of Chelsea history as well as their abilities with a football as the challenge progresses.The futuristic-looking Hyundai IONIQ 5 is based upon Hyundai’s breakthrough Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), which delivers faster charging, increased driving range, superior handling and more interior space. In addition to revolutionising sustainable mobility, the IONIQ 5 offers an interior that provides a whole new in-car experience – redefining living space and moving space. Environmentally friendly materials, such as eco-processed leather and recycled yarn, are used extensively in the IONIQ 5.

Offered with a range of electric powertrains and two- and four-wheel drive configurations, the IONIQ 5 is able to charge from 10 per cent to 80 per cent in just 18 minutes, accelerate from 0-62mph in as little as 5.2 seconds and travel up to 300 miles on a single charge.Hyundai’s relationship with Chelsea sees the company’s famous logo appear on match shirt sleeves in all domestic matches, from the men’s and women’s teams through to the Academy. The four-year deal represents Hyundai’s first venture into the British football market, having enjoyed a long-term association with the international game over almost 20 years.

Ashley Andrew, Hyundai Motor UK MD, said: ‘With IONIQ 5 recently being named as Car of the Year by Auto Express magazine, it’s only right that we bring together our own titleholder with Chelsea’s Champions League heroes for a bit of fun. With this film we really want to bring to life some of the benefits of IONIQ 5 ownership that can be lost in the new language around electric vehicles. When we say it has 350kW charging, that may not mean much to most people but, with the help of our partners at Chelsea FC, to see it in action in a really engaging way really helps to hammer home the message that IONIQ 5 is a car without compromises.’
