The Hyundai IONIQ 5 that transported the late Pope Francis during his historic September 2024 visit to Singapore is now on public display.
Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center Singapore (HMGICS) has placed the very car on show, inviting visitors to view the special car up close.
Why this Hyundai Ioniq 5 matters
The Pontiff, known for humility and his stewardship of environmental and social causes, chose to move about in a quiet, all-electric IONIQ 5, built at Singapore’s only EV manufacturing facility.
The visit itself was a milestone: the first papal visit to Singapore and Southeast Asia in nearly a decade, anchored in interfaith dialogue and community outreach.
You’ll find the car on Level 1 of HMGICS, where it will remain on view during regular visiting hours—Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 7pm. The organisers ask for respectful behaviour, a simple courtesy, entirely in the spirit of the man it once ferried.
In its statement, Hyundai Motor Group notes that the IONIQ 5 on display is not only a manufacturing milestone but also “a quiet reminder of a leader who encouraged peace and unity.”
