When I first thought about that I was too gimiky. Doug knows fun & if he says its fun who am I to argue. This might be genius actually.

[@ShufflerBluey]

Hi Doug! love your reviews, I've owned one of these for a few months and need to correct some errors in your review and provide some additional facts\quirks you missed: The range is 448km\280miles - not your quoted 200 miles The digital speedo is available, you were just in sport mode which only has 2 gauges available. Normal and N mode have much more options available and both have digital speedometers. (there's even "classic" gauges too) You can also configure every setting in the N mode, when you hit the button twice it goes to N custom, so you can keep the much more sporty display, but still have traction control and soft suspension enabled There are 3 sound profiles for the simulated exhaust note. The other 2 are a bit more silly, but the jet one is fun as when you "change gear" at "high revs" it lets out sonic boom sounds out the back of the car. It's a really fun gimmick. Also on this, Hyundai have confirmed that more sounds will be coming via future updates, there hasn't been any updates since it's launch yet, but i suspect we will see it in the coming months The regen breaking offers a deceleration force of up to 0.6 G through regenerative braking alone, which is a leading figure in the industry The battery is 800volt which is also industry leading for its ability to withstand track driving with the battery preconditioning modes for track\drag The front seats are heated and ventilated as is the steering wheel The manual seats were intentional as the 5N already weighs in at 2.2 tonnes. I mean, who needs to adjust their seat anyway? (I've never understood this argument expect for large family cars) Lastly, you can control the car remotely via the Blulink app, check the 360 cameras, lock the doors, turn on climate control, etc Overall, I think this could’ve been a much longer video with a lot more details about how track focused this car is, and also with how many technical quirks combined with practicality rarely seen in this kind of package. I honestly feel this car is really pushing towards the future of fun and engaging driving is heading.

[@MilodeVries]

I've also owned one for a few months, welcome to the club! 🙃 I understand he can't include everything for brevity. Also 448km is WLTP, not EPA. And, what I just learned in this thread - the manual seats are so that you can sit lower in the car, which is awesome. It's almost as hard to get out as my lowered cr-z, which I see as a plus - as they said in the Hagerty vid, it's a full send car. (and you can also adjust the seats so high that my head almost hits the roof)

[@ShufflerBluey]

@@MilodeVries congratulations to you too then!, these things are the future for sure. Even with the EPA adjustment it should be about 250 Miles, not 200. In any case, good to know about the seat as well. I never really adjust my seat so I don't see what the big deal is. I just said it once then it's done forever 😅

[@StillShatter]

If anyone is interested Misha Charoudin absolutely sent an Ioniq 5 N on the Nürburgring about a week ago over on his YT channel. It is one of the first electric performance cars he has driven on the ring that actually made it two full laps. If you're curious how this car would perform on the track its a great watch!

[@yuchan063]

Hyundai is the only company that integrates the LSD, motor, and reducer, and this is Hyundai's unique patent. Thanks to this, other companies have to use indirect cooling with coolant, but Hyundai can cool with oil, which allows it to manage heat much better than the Porsche Taycan or Tesla Model S Plaid and run longer on the track. If you drive a Tesla on a track, it will be faster in the beginning, but it will not be able to make a few turns and the power will be limited due to overheating. However, the Hyndai IONIQ 5N can run around the track all day with maximum power, and this is the best among all existing electric vehicles. The IONIQ 5N is the world's first mass-produced car to contain the drive shaft system used in the WRC. Of course, this is not a very advanced technology, but even BMW M and Mercedes AMG cannot use it because the production cost and unit cost are too high and the heat treatment, processing, and suspension assembly processes must all be changed to apply it to mass-produced cars. However, Hyundai applied this system even at the cost of giving up its own profits to improve the driving experience and reduce lap times. I thought Hyundai was a cheap car company that only pursued profits, but after seeing this, my impressions of Hyundai changed to a company of car enthusiasts who are crazy about the soul of motorsports. There is still a gap in technology, but their passion may make them more car enthusiasts than BMW M. I remember when Hyundai first entered the WRC. Almost every car fan in the world laughed at Hyundai. I also felt bad that a company like Hyundai dared to enter the WRC and thought that a company that made money by selling a lot of cheap cars would enter motorsports for marketing. But Hyundai won the WTCR over 20 times and won WRC twice in a row.

I will never understand why people have a problem with manual seats.

I much prefer manual seat adjustments.

[@vails]

This, and you seriously set it only once, it's not like you grow on daily basis and have to change the seating position. I can understand it somewhat if there are multiple drivers, but it's still so silly to make such a fuss about it..

It’s nice if combined with memory seats if more than one person regularly drives a car. Other than that I totally agree

This tech basically allows any EV to be a simulator platform for any other car, be it real or imagined. I predict we'll see content packages you can buy later for your EV, and manufacturers of iconic cars making a lot of money with engine sound, gearbox & torque curve content. How many owners of Ioniq 5 N would buy a simulation of Ferrari 250 GTO? Or an early aircooled 911? Or a 2CV to experience how slow cars used to be?

One can adjust manual seats so much more quickly. We have two old school vehicles, one with manual seats, oddly, the older one with electric. I'm 6'2", wife is 5'5". Electric seat are so slow.

[@volvo09]

Yeah, and they are lighter (kind of irrelevant in an EV) but manual seats are fine.

[@lithobreak3812]

I always find it weird when reviewers complain about cars having manual seat adjustment, unless the electric ones come with the option to set presets i don't see the point

[@19581998]

I also prefer manual seats

[@cenciende9401]

Wrong, 30 sec vs whatever sec is nothing. Also electric seats can remember their adjustments so it's a simple one button press, vs manual seats spending days trying to get it just 'right' where it was perfect again

[@Wargasm54]

My car knows who I am and it adjusts automatically when my wife takes it out. But it’s not that big of an issue because I bought my wife her own Benz.

[@manoman0]

That revving noise is right out of an AMIGA!

[@samtriglone8858]

My Renault Clio had an engine sound simulator like that with a number of options, best by far was a 12 cylinder engine from some 1930's roadster. Used to blow passengers minds when you turned it on.

[@highbee6057]

Been waiting for this 🔥🔥

[@riba2233]

[@radguy72]

Some manufacturer will come out with a 3 pedal gated manual shifter for their sports car. You'll be able to simulate 3 pedal driving when you want the thrill and switch back to "1 pedal" driving on your daily commute.

[@Rome1017Lights]

GM is actually considering that for the next gen Camaro

[@robgriffin4801]

I wonder if this is why we have so much animal hide in our cars, people missed it from when they transitioned to cars from horses

[@saabreplay7553]

Those manual adjust seats are actually really nice

[@dole9783]

Out of all the sportscar brands out there, it's little hyundai that gave us what we want in EV; ICE simulation. EV Cayman replacement better be like this...

[@volvo09]

Yeah I'm surprised it took an automaker so long to do this. Toyota? Patented EV manual transmission tech (simulating a clutch pedal, friction zone, and gear torque curves) it would be so cool if someone did that in an EV. Imagine when you are bored and want to have fun driving an EV with 3 pedals, and when you aren't in that kind of mood simply put it in "classic EV" mode and ignore the clutch and shifter! Someone has to do that, it's the next step up from what Hyundai did here!

[@trstnhn]

@@volvo09 Toyota can't even make a proper commuter EV yet.

[@lordwalker71]

Would you complain about manual seats in a Porsche 911 GT3 which costs way more umm no you wouldn’t. Funny how everyone else said it handles great.

[@jati]

Are you seriously comparing these two cars? I don’t even know where to start …

[@KameeGaming]

Don't give much value to what anyone says handles great, it's kinda subjective, however that weekend score being barely higher than the Mach-e even though you can literally track this car out of the factory shows how little the doug score means, can't wait for Savagegeese with their review doug is just an entertainment channel not a car review channel

Meh. I want a Hyundai N Vision 74 !

[@eggegg6101]

[@user-qy2jk1xs2f]

I agree with Doug that it probably won’t sell well, but I think Hyundai knows that too. It seems to be a showcase for new tech and ideas rather than a mass market product. The fake shifting is done surprisingly well and I think it works because it’s kinda like a sim racing rig, I can see people like me who grew up playing racing games finding it fun

[@aftermathsample305]

I gotta say, I absolutely LOVE the similated gear shifting and the indoor engine noise. However, outside it sounds flimsy. Doesn't matter because as long as its good for the driver then good enough. Well done Hyundai!

[@chartreux1532]

I've recently seen someone with one of those (Manufacturer Plates) here in Germany at the Nürburgring. Despite being a SUV, it does extremely well around the Ring! Hyundai is definitely creating very exciting Stuff! Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps

[@snakeplissken1754]

The most impressive thing... it has proper controls for indicator, lights etc ... and you can even shift into gear without using a touchscreen. And you even get a proper steering wheel. Amazing.

As if the most accurate and incredible simulations in existence, made from real recordings of legendary vehicles, could be a bad thing. Top tip, it sounds way better than whatever you're playing through your crappy TV speakers

[@art.ref.eugecagayandeoroci9986]

If nobody mentioned it yet, i think the vertical red strip on the front and back is a reference to the N logo. Though i find its shown usually tilted on other N cars. I kind of wish Hyundai leans on the tilted red more; would also love if they included the black angled strip as well.

[@jaydenjohner6901]

You should have a whole range of engine sounds to choose from. Imagine driving around sounding like an F1 V12

[@plutothe9th361]

Doug, find an 80's Alfa GTV6 to review! Lots of them in the SD area.

[@forgingluck]

[@Stona999]

Very impressed that they got this faux shifting/reving to work so well. A great option to have when you get bored.

[@jamesl5352]

Huh, in the engine simulation does it turn up regen braking to simulate engine braking in different gears or is it just sound? It is interesting enough that I am tempted to try it.

[@PwnstarUK]

It’s called N cos it’s better than BMWs M

[@jcsrst]

It would be great if you could select the engine type and sound from a menu.

[@marvinscheer1028]

You can change between "ignition", "electric" and "supersonic" for sound

[@SuperSpruce]

They should allow users to upload and download sounds and torque curves. Personally I want to see a Yamaha R6 Profile.

That simulated transmission is the one thing I wanted in an electric car! I love shifting gears when I’m driving, and I’m not a fan of having a single gear.

[@drunkpolack7612]

Why do car journalists hate manual seats so much? They’re lightweight, easier to clean under the seat, and faster to adjust.

[@volvo09]

Probably because they are always used to high trim vehicles and never really see manual seats anymore.

[@Wargasm54]

They don’t hate manual seats. You just come to expect them at the 70k level

[@Iceeeen]

electric seats fall under the same category as those stupidly slow electric tail gates. I really don't get it. Have both in one of the cars I own and it just annoying. Especially when you switch between drivers and it takes forever to move the seat around.

[@Henchman1977]

Was looking forward to this video and like Doug videos generally. He definitely made some good points and was glad to see it placed at the top of the leaderboard. However, when he said it's not as good handling as a Golf R, it shows me that he's not much of a driver around the track. This thing would leave an R in a heartbeat around a decent track, let alone in a straight line. Watch the many other videos, especially Misha on the Nurburgring, following one of the chief drivers / engineers for Hyandai and tell me different. Or Harris review. For reference channel with initial TH, their track here were the results Golf R - 114.48 Type R - 114.41 Tesla Plaid normal - 112.50 Ionic 5N - 112.44 About the only EV i would consider looking at once prices come down.
