The super popular Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan, whom we also know and love as “King Khan,” has been the brand ambassador of Hyundai for 25 years. For this reason, the actor has been gifted a number of popular Hyundai cars over the years. Of these, the most recent gift was a Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV crossover. Shahrukh Khan was seen taking delivery of this unique EV crossover back in December. Now, finally, after almost a year, his Ioniq 5 EV has been spotted on the road.
Shahrukh Khan’s Hyundai Ioniq 5 seen for the first time
This video showing Shahrukh Khan’s Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV has been shared on YouTube by Cars For You on their channel. In the short clip, the Bollywood superstar’s Ioniq 5 was seen exiting his famous sea-facing house “Mannat.”
It has to be noted that Shahrukh Khan himself was not seen inside the vehicle. The actor is mostly seen being driven around in his Rolls Royce Cullinan Black Badge. Most likely, this particular Hyundai Ioniq 5 is used by his staff members.
What’s interesting is that, like all his other cars, this particular Ioniq 5 has also been opted with the same “0555” registration number, which most of Shahrukh Khan’s cars are seen with.

As mentioned above, this particular vehicle is not new to his garage. He received this electric crossover back in December of last year, prior to the launch of the new generation Hyundai Creta. It has also to be noted that although the vehicle was delivered to him in December 2023, it was registered in May of this year.
What’s special about this Hyundai Ioniq 5?
For those who may not be aware, Shahrukh Khan unveiled the Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV at the 2023 Bharat Mobility Auto Expo. He is the first brand ambassador of Hyundai and has been associated with the company for more than 25 years. At the unveiling of the Ioniq 5, the actor also shared a few funny statements.
He stated, “As the seniormost member of Hyundai in India…this wonderful set of people from Hyundai here to make it a company policy that whenever I come to Delhi to launch a new car, then that car I should get to take home for free.”
The actor also added, “Now I am the corporate brand ambassador and have to talk about Creta and everything. But still, my all-time favorite car is Santro.”
Following this unveiling later in the year, the actor was again invited by Hyundai. This time around, he was handed over the keys to his very own Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV. Now the special part about Shahrukh Khan’s Ioniq 5 EV is that it is the 1100th unit of this vehicle to be delivered in India. It is finished in the lovely shade of Gravity Gold.
