[@Lascarnn]

I've chosen this car over TMY and I'm really happy about it. My main points were: - screen behind the wheel with speedometer and other controls - HUD - V2L (to charge electric grill from the car, while camping) - ventilated seats, adjustable headrest - better suspension than Tesla, much smoother - better sound isolation Acceleration is really fast enough.

[@DenisLeskovar]

I had it for two days. This is by far the nicest and most relaxing car to drive, it is superb in every aspect. If I had to choose one car for the rest of the life, this would be the one. It is really as good as the reviews say. As for the range, I had RWD 58kWh hour model, and I was slaming it hard on highway, did some normal driving (50/50 mix of slaming to full and highway in 150km/h, and half 130 kmh highway and normal driving), it can easily do 380 kilometers, with 130 km/h on highway.

[@SuicidalNapk1n]

Was the ride quality pretty smooth? I saw earlier videos back in March that showed the ride was very firm and jolty. Did they fix that?

[@DenisLeskovar]

@@SuicidalNapk1n for me it was comfortable, but we don't really bad roads where I live so I might be a bit biased. I think it is a bit on a firmer side, but that pays off in corners where car doesn't feel heavy.

[@goulash75]

Walked out of a school I teach at here in Korea and one of these was parked right next to my car. I had to walk around the back to check out what it was. Looks much better in person than the video shows.

[@bogdanmihaicazacu]

For a 90's kid that grew up with pixelated video games, the design of the exterior and interior for that matter just makes me tingle inside. Any retro-futuristic, cyberpunk design makes me salivate at the prospect of owning such a car, and I think that's the idea why they went with this. Most of us younger generation that started to afford cars are more interested in quirky designs than classic ones that you see in a Mercedes or BMW. At least that's my theory.

[@evornotev7794]

Rory - great review as ever, but you missed one of the most important points - the speed of charging. Speed of charge is as critical if not more so than range and this car can take the 350Kw chargers that are being built all over the UK. For long distance driving that's brilliant as it charges in I think 18 minutes from 10% to 80%. As an EV driver I can promise you this is the most significant step forward only previously available in Porshe Taycan or Tesla. Kia EV6 has the same architecture. These 2 brands are leading the way for EVs. Can't wait to see what they bring out in the smaller car sector. But as always the public charger network needs to keep up, which Gridserve thankfully are working hard to achieve.

Tesla is 400 volt and is slower on the charging curve. This is 800 volt like Taican and Audi GT. Insideev had some comparative test where the Tesla where it was like 10 minutes more for 10 to 80%, but had longer range. But if I am not mistaken it was against the Model 3. This truly is one of the most important tech of this car, its like more than twice as fast to charge than any of the VW meb platform EV. It has set a new standard in the normal consumer market.

[@TobiasRieper047]

Got to admit, for not being a huge Hyundai guy, this car does appeal to me. I like its design, cause it stands out (at least it does currently until other cars pop up in the near future from writing this). It seems like a nice step in to the direction of how EV's should be. Not just a vehicle to bring you from A to B, but something that also gives more than just being a drivable tool. This seems like it delivers that multi-purpose kind of satisfaction. Sure other cars do that too, and some may offer more luxury or comfort. But this seems to be a middle-route that divides other branches and their models. Off the car topic, I hope that the EU and the rest of the world start making charging stations in a more common frequency. Currently I feel like, despite there are a bunch, some areas in some countries lack a lot of them. Which may make people hesitate to get an EV to begin with. Perhaps Autotrader could do an episode about this.

[@adamlipare1033]

I rented a hyundai Elentra in 2016 on vacation and my experience with it was very bland and unammusing. So naturally I've never cared for hyundai. But these last 6 years ive seen them produce some cars that I think beat some luxury makers. KUDOS to the south korean company really making leaps and bounds when it comes to raising its reputation. They have taken their design from a normal low end economy car to high end while still keeping the prices reasonably low

@@petitkruger2175 Who gives a fuck about what EU thinks? If you don't want it, don't buy it.. Car works perfectly fine without it..

[@petitkruger2175]

yes. I was just giving a reason why 'K P' might find Tesla's life threatening

[@paulerhimona9244]

I think there a lot Tesla need to learn from these car for the model Y.*how it drives,*3 step Regen braking,R2G,*display shows your blind spot left or right while u turn.Dont be surprised if model Y don't sell well in Europe.

Love this guys reviews. He's so onto it and creative. Fun times all round.

[@axem.8338]

Actually the best looking Hyundai and the features are crazy good.

[@Contractor815]

The more I see of the Ioniq 5, the less interested I become in the Mustang Mach-E.

[@ZekeMagnum]

i loved the look of mach e until i saw the rear of it. wtf is that

[@mattclark1278]

YEP.

[@discardingsabot5898]

Watch Sandy Munroe's vid on mach-e, he took the frunk out and feined passing out at the crappy design.

[@keithjames3024]

Now this is a great review! Been searching for a good Ionic 5 review all day! Thank you!

[@nomebear]

The review is brilliant, as is the Ioniq 5.

[@ToreHansen]

Having seen several videos on this model, this is the first that manage to show the "glove department". Kudos!

[@BN99239]

This car honestly looks so nice. I actually like everything about it, inside and out. The only thing I would even criticize is that the dual screen should be a darker color material. The light grey really makes the huge bezels stand out. Other than that, Hyundai is doing an amazing job. I currently drive an $80k car and there are some features in this Hyundai that I wish my car has. I'd definitely take this over the Tesla.

[@gordonwalker2984]

Picked mine up last week - after 50+ years of driving everything from Ford XR3i, Saab Turbo, Mercedes AMG C43 BMW 335 etc the car is truly superb.

[@dlhussain81]

Rory mate, this is your best video by far! Love it!!!

[@jeevesh09]

That car even Hyundai haters gonna love and buy.

[@Bylov6812]

Me being born in 2001: I understood every reference, Rory. Don't worry, I was poor, I had cassettes.

[@noclu4u384]

Yeah I had 8 tracks . Yes im old . Lol . In my defense though I caught them on the way out .

[@petemiller519]

@@noclu4u384 Ah the days of the 8 track. In cold weather they would slow down, so they needed a little warm up with the defrost cycle on the dash to play at almost normal speed. A gas of tank would cost $12, and I would earn $5 per hour, which was a good wage. Ironically, the price of electricity here in British Columbia costs the same to fill up an EV battery as much as it did to fill up a tank of gas 40 years ago. ICE is toast!!. Cheers from Canada.

Recently purchased the Hyundai Elantra. This company is so impressive with their scope of design and engineering!! Very happy that we did!👍👍👍

[@jainamshah9497]

Congratulations

[@beachamgroup2482]

One of the best reviews for this car. You showed features others missed. Just subbed.

[@shastriroopchand1245]

Hyundai really won with this one.. exceptional.

[@jax1079]

I am so ready for this thing! Finally, a mainstream automaker taking the fight to Tesla... for real. Not just saying stuff. It's a truly compelling EV in every single way.

[@EpicLemonMusic]

Well not really, shit autonomous driving you dont know what luxury is until FSD/Tesla autonomous, small storage, worse range, much slower, no super computer inside still that runs apps/smooth af display, cheapo seat, towing, charger network prices/availibility, glass roof not as sexy for the price, the interior damping nowhere near as nice, since only a few thousand made much less custom ability, obviously Hyundais current bad streak with electric car reliability. Is it a great car for the price? Yep. But its rough to say it is Killer of Tesla who is barely keeping up with building more cars that sell 15k above their build price, I really do hope tesla makes a smaller cuv like this for 25k cause that is the price that will ve amazing.

[@Dan-uq8rr]

i love this video the gardening part is so funny. great work!!!

[@heliharris69]

Great review as always... I've just been for a test drive and agree with all your observations and statements (didn't stop for a hedge trim though!). Bottom line... I've ordered a Cyber Grey Ultimate 4wd with the Eco & Tech Pack... Only dissapointment is.. Not expected to arrive at dealers until mid January 22...

[@ortontom]

i have the Kona, and would love next to be in the Ionic 5. Does everything - and I sell high end Porsches for a living..

[@user-yw8yx7fh7t]

Really? What do you think about the Taycan as a daily driver

Because it’s Hyundai I will buy it 🙆🏾‍♂️🔑👊🏾reliability will be great👌

Great review - very factual and love the humour. Gotta subscribe as you are brilliant !!

You can see when someone is loving cars and it shows in this presentation. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@douglassantos8918]

As a Model Y owner I LOVE THIS Ioniq 5, this thing is beautiful...

[@douglassantos8918]

@@stockey Never! I got mine with no problems whatsoever and I would definitely buy another one (and I will FOR SURE). With all respect, don’t be fooled by people talking shit on the internet and showing you “what they wanna show you for views” buy one yourself, try yourself, test drive yourself and make your own perspective of the car, or just buy the IONIQ 5. Both cars are amazing in my opinion, Tesla wouldn’t be where they are right now making a “low quality, shitty, horrible cars, slow, whatever you think they are”. Come on man, it’s not even hard to understand that. When this car is available here where I live I will definitely check it out MYSELF and make a decision from there If I wanna have both. But on this video it looks amazing but it’s all about how YOU feel in the car.

[@Kimjongil-pu6rk]

Hahahahaha "It looks like a DeLorean - for your mum!" killed me. Spot fucking on.

[@shaunmckenna1923]

Great review . I went in to buy the Kona at a dealership in Canada but after doing the test drive in both no contest the Ioniq 5 is the winner hands down, I ordered the Long Range AWD top of the line the only thing we can't get here is the solar roof which is too bad, however there is one criterium the car does not have a rear wiper it was raining very hard the day I test drove the car within about 10 mins I could not see a thing out of the rear window. I do believe there is a rear viewing camera so that may work ok. Again great review thanks.

[@e688699]

I watch a lot of car reviews and although this seems a hard selling video the astonishing tech application to everyday life is a sweet step up in the industry. Checking out the price now!

[@CoryBurke]

Great review! Enthusiastic presentation and overall just a very nice job providing details with a few splashes of humor as well. Laughed at the hedging the neighbors bit. I love the design of this car and have watched numerous videos on it already. Can't wait to test drive one myself! Cheers

[@edumaker-alexgibson]

Great looking car, really smart features and I really enjoyed Rory's presentation and the editing was great too. 5*

[@davevisse]

Wow, blown away on this car. Hyundai design team, congrats! And congrats to management too, kicking ass.
