Hyundai is taking the Ioniq 5 Disney100 Platinum Concept from the New York Auto Show and making it a production reality.

This special edition model features a Gravity Gold Matte exterior with wheels inspired by Mickey Mouse. It also boasts “Disney100 Platinum” badging. However, one feature that didn’t make it from the concept to production is the digital grille and headlights that displayed “sparkle animations” and fireworks.

Instead, the production version features a special startup screen for the infotainment system that combines iconic Disney music with a Disney100 logo and “pixie dust.” In addition, the special edition model includes Mickey Mouse-inspired trim, unique floor mats, and embossed Disney100 logos on the front seats and center console.

Production of the Ioniq 5 Disney100 Platinum Edition will be limited to 1,000 units, and it is expected to go on sale early next year. This collaboration comes as Hyundai is the exclusive North American automotive sponsor for Disney100, celebrating a century of timeless stories and characters that have entertained and inspired people of all ages.

The Ioniq 5 Disney100 Platinum Edition is the result of a collaboration between Disney Imagineering and Hyundai, and it is part of the celebration of Disney’s 100th anniversary.
