You know, a couple months ago I would have said that most of this is pointless. But after talking with so many people who are hesitant to buy an EV, the vroom vroom noise is a HUGE stickler for them (And none of them track their cars, so the artificial noises aren't going to help them in every day driving). To them, it doesn't feel real without the noise. Also having fake shifts will make the car slower (Assuming it actually limits power), but I think a lot of the vroom vroom drivers will really enjoy it. So this is actually brilliant and I hope it converts some ICE drivers. And I hope they get used to the normal EV stuff so that they don't have to add all this stuff to every EV and add some cost to them. Also, your video showcases these noises super well. Better than others I've watched. Thanks for the high quality video!!!

Fantastic review, Tom. The Ioniq 5 N is not about imitating a combustion engine car. Rather it’s about physics. There’s states of motion called derivatives of position. When we feel acceleration (or the opposite - deceleration) we are experiencing derivatives of position. Race car drivers are attuned to rate of change of position, where they may experience many G forces up to the third order derivative. For fighter pilots or astronauts, perhaps fourth or fifth order derivative. Back to racing, when you attack a turn, you make a prediction on what gear you need to be in (correlating the torque) and you need feedback (the sound of rpm rise and fall + momentum changes due to gearing) at precise moments. If you did not have gearing, like with a single-speed transmission or sound, like with current EVs, you have to micromanage the speed to sense the sweet spot. This is slower to register in the brain compared to sensing gear and rpm. So, the quest with Ioniq 5 N was to synthesize the analog feedback of a DCT. It’s not a domain characteristic of just combustion engine cars anymore, they were just first. Performance driving requires rich signals to be given back to the driver and it can be programmed in a digital electric car. It also happens to be fun because our evolution to action make us very responsive to sound and movement.

I wouldn’t be surprised if changing tires to the normal Ioniq 5 spec would gain a lot of range.

Feel bad for anyone buying these new, EV's are depreciating worse than a Maserati Ghibli. You can pick up 23 EV6 GT's under $40k all day or new ones at $14k off. Porsche isn't even immune; 10 year old Cayman 50% off MSRP, 4 year old Taycan? 50% off. M2 with a manual all day for the same money or a Corvette 1LT.

Meh. Keep a car long enough and depreciation isn't an issue. So buy the car you love, ICE or EV.

There’s no such thing as a car that doesn’t depreciate. There’s better ways to invest your money, but you have to have fun too.

Too bad it's so huge and heavy. Wish it was 3/4ths the size; could've been a hot hatch instead of a warm SUV...
@AdamJRichardson5 ай бұрын
Warm?? It beats a top-spec Maserati Grecale or Porsche Macan SUV by 12 lengths in the 1/4 mile, and 1/2 a second faster than a Lamborghini Urus. It's hotter than any hot hatch ever has been.

@@DrivenCarReviews true. How does Tesla game the EPA to get a higher range rating than most?

@@DrivenCarReviews plus, Hyundai needs access to the super charger network (I think it’s coming) soon so that range figure looks like less of an issue.
