This will be my next car. I have the original 2017 Ioniq and was dreaming of owning a Tesla model 3 but I have always liked Hyundai service and I fell in love with the new Ioniq design.

[@johnnorris1546]

I also have the Ionia hybrid. The quality is fantastic and fuel economy is outstanding. I’m also thinking hard about getting the ioniq5 but probably going to wait another 12 months to see what else Hyundai comes out with. Defiantly don’t want the Kona though!

[@therealcdnuser]

@@johnnorris1546 the Ioniq 7 is also in the works but not sure when that is coming.

[@BrantfordKia]

I would absolutely choose this over a Tesla model 3. I like the Tesla, but this solves some of the things that I don't like about the Tesla. This is an EXCELLENT vehicle! Owners are going to love them!

[@doingshtonmaltman6225]

You are an excellent presenter. Your dealer is lucky to you. 👍👍

[@heymike7037]

This was actually an excellent walkthrough of the car! I've been to far too many dealerships that couldn't care less about EVs so it's nice to know there are at least some dealers out there eager and excited about them. My only remaining question about the car is about towing - how do I get towing stuff installed etc. I pre-ordered this car as soon as I could back in June, I have a test drive here in Ottawa on Wednesday and I can't wait to get my car which should be built in January! I'm the VP of our local EV council and do a lot of public outreach events and I plan on getting an electric BBQ and cooking using the power from the car at the EV events. I think it would be fun and a good demonstration of what EV's can do that fossil cars can't so I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who plans to hook a BBQ to the car!! lol

[@BrantfordKia]

Haha! I can't wait to get a vehicle with Vehicle to Load, so that I can do a LIVE video like this, while cooking burgers on my electric bbq!! Yeah, our dealer group doesn't shy from EVs at all. They've been great for us! As far as a trailer hitch, you'll probably have to check with your local dealer. They may not be available at launch, but I would expect them to make their way to production this year.

[@BrantfordKia]

[@ChrisPollard]

Having just bought two new vehicles in the last 16 months, it's going to be a few years before we're in the market again, but I can EASILY see this (or an EV6!) replacing our Equinox until Hyundai figures out an E-GMP version of the Santa Cruz. This actually has the range we need for our commute (200km/day) and with the charge times that 800V system is capable of, heck, it would even be a good road tripper. This may be the EV tipping point for me, even if we have much more limited infrastructure up in this end of the province. Looking forward to seeing more about it! (And an EV6 when you get the Kia version! Can't wait for a side-by-side of the siblings.)

Picking ours up on Tuesday, can't wait to go through all the features. The only thing I don't like is the location of the charging port, which means we will have to back up the car into the driveway. We're also coming from a Soul EV, which with the port in the front it was easy to charge (even though in Canadian winters it required 2 people to open the frozen door).

[@dalekaechler4872]

Thank you for the videos. I test drove the iconic 5 basic model yesterday and I was so impressed I ordered the long range awd with all the top features today. Now I have to find a qualified electrician that sells and installs level 2 home charger.

[@jamespaul2587]

Great overview Peter. My undestanding is all vehicles have VTL functionality, with an optional $300 plug that taps into the chargeport, there may be one in the underfloor storage area. Certain trims also have an output plug at the bottom of the rear seat

[@BrantfordKia]

I haven't heard that, but I'm asking the question so that I can find out for later.

[@ronlaverdiere]

Any word on why they didn't include the drawer style glove box? Seeing that on the European spec I thought it was a great idea. It would have been cheaper for them to leave that for all specs rather than changing it for North America. I really wish they had put that minor expenditure towards something that mattered like a rear wiper.

[@nixquev]

North American markets apparently required bigger gloveboxes (not sure if there are even regulations for that) and the drawer hinges diminished the volume available. I also would have liked the drawer:(

[@isaac198428]

These are the best looking ev wheels. Makes the car look luxurious and futuristic.

[@BrantfordKia]

I thought they looked good in person too! Even in the 19" size, the wheels and tires are BIG on this car.

[@atiprocharger]

You need to start recording your video's in 1080p.

Thanks Peter for showcasing the amazing Ioniq5! Does this car still have 'utility mode' that allows heat/ac from the hvac for car camping? Also, really looking forward to taking advantage of the vehicle to load feature allowing us to use the battery for cooking appliances when out camping!

[@BrantfordKia]

That's a feature that I want to look into, and I didn't get the chance to do that so far. We are going to do an overnight camping trip video where we use the car to power my entire trailer using the Vehicle to Load function! Look for that in the Spring!

[@sherriwade2207]

Thank you so much for this detailed video. I am an ev newbie this video was a huge help

[@MrBlkbwoy]

Hi I was wondering with all the technology that is available. Couldn't they have set it so that the doors locked once the key fab is out of range....That would be nice . Just a thought...

[@sbrandum]

Hi Peter. I'm a brand new, very happy, owner of the Ioniq 5 here in the Ottawa area. The RWD smaller battery trim. So far I love it - I simply LOVE the drive, the ride - but you have to respect my learning curve has been humungous, having gone from a 2005 Hyundai Accent (roll-down windows) to this. Your detailed videos are great and I have two points. One big question: There is a "winter" setting for the battery, to protect it against the cold. At what temperature should I turn it on or off? 2nd point - sorry, but having now driven it for about 2 weeks in winter crud, it absolutely needs a rear windshield wiper. I appreciate the aerodynamics, I clean it every time I start out, I use RainX on it, but it is not enough. The grunge of the streets coats it in a way that makes rear viewing bad! And, yes, I saw your short video about it. I disagree and will be letting Hyundai know.

[@BrantfordKia]

I think we're on the same page about the wiper. It would be nice, but it shouldn't keep anyone from buying the car. As far as the "winter setting" I don't have the specs in front of me, but based on the previous generation electric vehicles, that is something that is activated at -10 degrees. I would leave it on in the winter, but again, I just want to do a little more research to make sure I fully understand the feature before I go to far with the comments.

[@sbrandum]

@@BrantfordKia Tks. Keen to hear what you find out further about the temp setting.

[@justinl9077]

It is beautiful, cool, and awesome! I love it. The dash is like nothing that has ever been made.

Yeah, I like the dash, it's both easy to read, and full of good information in easy to find places.

[@martyhunterdurand]

Really good complete review. without test drive of course !

[@Josh-179]

One of the only videos of the base Ioniq 5. It doesn't look bad but it loses a lot without the silver painted trim and 20" wheels.

[@BrantfordKia]

I don't think it looks the same in person. I hear what you're saying, but I think people have been really impressed with it in person too. The 19 inch wheels with 55 series sidewalls have some real presence still. This is one of those vehicles (like the Santa Cruz) that doesn't photograph as well as it looks in person.

[@Phaenon00]

I test drove one yesterday. It is an amazing car and already pre-ordered it prior. I test drove a Lucid Blue with black trim. The black painted trim loses its "cyberpunk" look. Hope the AWD package has silver trim.

[@imaadh]

Not looking forward to dealer markup when trying to get one.

[@BrantfordKia]

We don't mark things up at our dealers.

[@repCanada]

I really wish you could get the ultimate package with the smaller wheels. Also call me crazy but I prefer the black side skirt over the silver side skirt

[@BrantfordKia]

I don't think you're crazy at all. I've heard people complain about the black, but I think it looks good in person.

[@vincent2921]

I'm going to pick up my Hyundai IONIQ 5 very soon (in Jan. 2022), my questions are : 1/ How the 12V battery keep fully charged (from the BIG batteries with adapter) ? 2/ Is it come with the first 2 years free of charge (in dealer or public chargers) ? 3/ How wallet on wheel works ? 4/ If vehicle equipped with 360 cameras then can it auto recording 24hr if I installed a USB stick ? Thanks.

[@BrantfordKia]

It's probably best to check with your dealer on those. It sounds like you're American, and we don't have free charging here. So that will be different where you are. The 12 volt battery will take care of itself in the EV, so that's not a concern. The 360 cameras can not record anything at this point. I don't know if they've planned for that feature in the future or not.

[@estherkim1892]

Very useful video. One point however - the fed government site says only the models up to $55k are offered. The top model is $60k. Could you clarify this please?

[@BrantfordKia]

What I've been told is that the top trim, isn't actually a trim, but an option package that takes it over that threshold. Apparently Hyundai has cleared things with the government, and they all will receive the rebate.

[@estherkim1892]

@@BrantfordKia Wow, that would be great! Hope that is the case.

[@OscarFelixKlein]

Great video! What are the options for hitch receivers?

[@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834]

do you mean tow bar??? if so its an optional extra?

[@BrantfordKia]

I don't have any information on that yet. I believe the initial specs said that it can handle 2000lbs when towing, so I expect there to be a Hyundai accessory hitch in the future.

[@oscarusprime]

Why did they change the wheel style? The UK ones looked so cool and added to the look. Are those not going to be available?

[@BrantfordKia]

In Canada, we have two different wheel options. Most of the marketing material here shows the 20-inch wheels, but these are the 19-inch rims.

F'in Excellent having a cold beer watching this. You can sleep in the back Bjorn Nyland has shown that! Exactly how I ordered and will receive very shortly, hope demo is what I expect!! Cyber Grey colour? Looks like my EV6 deposit will be refunded. Hopefully frunk insert is incorrect. Auto handles , bonus, too bad no rear wiper that is a flaw, best we can do is use a glass coating to improve the stick resistance. Does it have the double pane glass on front D&P windows?. Hoping the stereo is not too bad as it is not the upgrade BOSE of the Ultimate. I am fine w wired AA, I don't really care about that. $23K less than a Model Y, this car is killing it, I realize it is not a sports car nor overly quick as a Tesla M3, it is more leaning to hot large hatch?? Loads of value, reality is those in Europe have had since Aug, I read a post of a guy loving it having put 15K on already , recurring comments are quality is very good and it took automobile of the year in European magazines. The key is going to be proper software support, that what will tell its long term future draw. Thanks for posting the video., styling is killer.

A little unhappy that elsewhere in the world you can get the belt trim in silver in any trim from base to “ultimate” but here in Canada it’s only available with the ultimate trim. What’s even worst, is that none of this was mentioned until recently when the dealerships received the spec sheets.

[@MrPenguinsfan66]

Looks nice. Now start selling them in Michigan.

[@nixquev]

Apparently the small frunk even though it's not AWD and could be bigger is a Canadian thing. There's a transport Canada thing that says if you have a trunk over X liters, a kid can crawl in and get stuck so there must be a lever to open from inside. Hyundai's solution for the trunk ? Make it smaller to be under X liters. Not their fault;) Also, the gap between the trunk and the folded backseat is at the perfect spot to insert the pedals of a bicycle and can be an advantage.

[@BrantfordKia]

Oh that's interesting. I hadn't heard that. And yes, I used to have a Kia Rondo with middle row seats that slid forward or backwards, and I always used that space that could be created to store various camping equipment, or other small items that I wanted to be protected from all sides. That space is absolutely useful!

I could see the center console rear passenger end looks different, it's a flat surface all the way flush to the floor, usually there would be a storage there slopping down.

[@BrantfordKia]

I don't disagree, but that's what's happening with Kia/Hyundai on the larger screens right now.

[@perenighttimefrogs4957]

Great video. Need more. Ours is on its way. In Vancouver, be here mid Jan. Would really like a video of its belly. Can you get it up on the hoist and give us a good look around underneath? How have Hyundai cars been for rust and the insane amount of salt Ontario uses? Also what type of TPMS have in it? It is a live read like Chev uses in the Silverado? Just need to decide if going to spend the extra for TPMS in the snow tires. Cheers and thanks for the great videos

[@BrantfordKia]

I'll try to get it in the air. The bottom is just flat... not super exciting. As far as the TPMS sensors... just get them. It will throw an undefeatable warning light, and it will drive you nuts as it takes over part of the digital display with a warning message. You have to drive to display the exact pressure, but yes, it will show you the pressure and regularly recalculate.

When the braking level is set to i-PEDAL is the car using regenerated braking (like it does with level 3) or is it actually using the brakes?

[@BrantfordKia]

It's always going to prioritize regenerative braking. I have to double check if it uses the wheel brakes in iPedal, but it's definitely going to use regenerative braking. I'll have much more on iPedal in the coming days and weeks.

[@TheMonemone2]

I like the teddy bear measurement. Useful for comparing every car.

[@BrantfordKia]

Yeah, measuring litres or cubic feet does nothing, but what I like to do is use Teddy because it makes it consistent across our videos. If we show a smaller trunk, you can see how much smaller, and a larger one will show you how much larger. It's not perfect, but it does allow you to compare between our videos.

[@utubesujisam]

It all depends on the mileage.. Looks like awd only give 250 miles and the other thing that scares me in this video is that in the beginning when the gentleman was showing it was showing 499 km and within few mins of him keeping the car idle and talking it dropped to 380 something in eco mode when he was moving it little bit for charging.. So probably the car was idle running for 20 mins at that point i think.... Also he safely showed the trunk space he did not mention about the illusion of space.. of course it will fit the teddy bear but if you keep suitcases you can only keep it very close to the back seat and if it extends slightly outside or close to the back, you will not be able to close the trunk door... What i m trying to say is that the space is not real when the door is closed fully on the back. So for the price i am not sold for the miles it gives and i can ignore the trunk space part... That is what i see as many others might too.

[@BrantfordKia]

I can explain the range drop that you saw. It predicts differently with different drive modes, and with things like heat and fan speed use. If the ENTIRE trip was going to have that much heat required or fan speed, than the predicted range will drop. What I find with my EV is that once the vehicle has reached temperature, and the fan speed returns to normal, the range is restored. I hear what you're saying with the trunk space, but I'm trying to be as clear as I can with things. I won't hide from things. If you want me to use luggage in the future, I'd be happy to do that. Finally, we have to acknowledge that there is going to be a learning curve to understanding these cars. Sometimes customers make assumptions about what they read, or see in a video, and that can easily be explained away with full context. I can tell you that I bought an EV as my SECONDARY vehicle two and a half years ago because it didn't have the range that I thought I would need, but it has very quickly become our primary vehicle for just about everything that my family does. I'm not saying it's right for you yet, but I will say that you might be surprised, so do yourself a favour and try to keep an open mind about things, because you may find that you'll love it sooner than you expected to if you understand everything.

[@perenighttimefrogs4957]

Regarding people's concern about lack of rear windshield wiper, I read one commentator who said you can always use the rear camera if your back window view is obscured, but I test drove a Preferred and you cannot (it will only turn on when you're NOT driving, eg when you're parking). I'm wondering if you can use the rear camera while driving on Ultimate trims? (they didn't have any to test)

First time EV shopper here: When charging in a driveway, is it okay to have the garage door closed with the charging cable underneath, or should I leave the garage door open a crack for the cable?

[@BrantfordKia]

I'm sure that the proper answer is to say to stop the garage door from pinching the cable, but I can tell you that we have many customers who just allow their garage door to shut on the cable without any issue. I think best practice, if you're shutting the door on the cable, would be just inspect the cable regularly to make sure that you're not rubbing it against abrasive things that could cause premature wear of the cable.

[@estherkim1892]

@@fredericsunewp My dealer told me the same story - no rebate for the Ultimate. The government site says only up to $55k and as you know, the Ultimate is $60k. Despite this, I ordered the Ultimate but that $10k effective premium is a bit hard to swallow.

[@billlobban9158]

Good work Peter! I noticed that this model has the front turn signals below the headlights. I believe the day time running lamps are used for signals on the top trim. Can you confirm this?

[@JT-fq2bl]

That's correct.

[@dannypellerin3948]

Hey Peter, like your reviews. Are you sure about the 5k federal grant not being available for the preferred awd ultimate version? I have heard otherwise.

[@BrantfordKia]

I was mistaken originally. I've been told that Hyundai has confirmed with the Canadian Government that ALL Ioniq 5's will be eligible for the discount in 2022.

[@JudithHammond]

Is it right that the Preferred trim Ioniq5 EVs are arriving in Canada (at least Vancouver) Jan/22 but Ultimate trim won't land here until at least Sep/22? It seems like a long wait if you want to compare the two...

[@BrantfordKia]

I haven't heard that schedule, but I expect sold orders to be almost all of the arrivals over the next few months. I'll try to make a video about that soon when I know more.

[@michelleshimenosky8194]

@@BrantfordKia I would be interested in that information. Thank you.

[@dionaeaqi07]

For this trim is there more space under the trunk floor lid? Maybe the subwoofer is less bulky than higher trims?

I'll have to get the vehicle back to take a better look. I don't remember off-hand.

[@johnnyv5995]

Thanks for the review. One question, where's the rear wiper??

[@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834]

bont need it they say, but yes we do seem to like our rea wipers, buy we should use the side mirrors more., and /or cameras

[@BrantfordKia]

It looks like that Globe and Mail article has gotten a lot of views. If you drive this car, and experience all it has to offer, you won't even think about the rear wiper. To me, that was lazy reporting where the author clearly didn't take the time to learn about the car, so he make an entire article about something that won't matter to 99.9% of buyers of this vehicle, and at best it will be a side note to them. (ex. "It would be nice to have, but it's not a big deal")

[@Kevinchong18]

can you plug in a flash drive and use the car camera as dash cam? and does it has tesla similar century mode?

[@BrantfordKia]

At this point, I don't think you can do that.

How easy is it to get into this and ev6? I want to get one of them. But I am concerned that the cars a bit too low riding. I want to get one these for my mother. What is your Opinion ? 😄

[@svengaefgen5909]

We have an Ioniq 5 and know the EV6 only from test videos, but I bet your mother would prefer the Ioniq 5 and love it. You get more range and a more sporty feeling with the EV6, but much less headspace and ease of entry for the rear passengers.

[@Hermann0909]

Can you confirm that all or at least to your knowledge the LR RWD Preferred come with electronic door handles?

[@BrantfordKia]

I can confirm that this model is a LR RWD Preferred trim and it does have electronic door handles.

[@Hermann0909]

@@BrantfordKia Thanks! That would be a nice added bonus.

[@CL-yy9rq]

Love your detailed reviews. Right now, when you enter a destination in the Nav system that is further than the remaining battery range, it does not tell you where you need to stop for a charge (unlike Tesla). Can we expect an update in the near future from Hyundai to correct this issue?

[@BrantfordKia]

I'll have to look into that. I'm pretty sure my Soul EV lets me know if I won't make a destination, and I believe it can show me charging stations along the way, but that might be a setting. I'll have to play with the Ioniq 5 to see if there are settings to adjust this. Personally, I tend to use Charge Station Apps to find charge stations as I find them a little more detailed and accurate than the factory navigation. Either way, I'll try to look into things.

[@brucemacneil]

The car is great. Will Hyundai be installing 350KW chargers at the dealers?

[@BrantfordKia]

Dealers are individually owned, so I don't think there will be a national plan on this, but I do think there will be talk of more, and better charging at dealers, even just so that we can handle the increase of EV's around here for service and sales.

[@brucemacneil]

@@BrantfordKia interesting. Dealers have been significant obstacles to EV sales as they seek to protect the service profit.

[@BrantfordKia]

@@brucemacneil I can promise you that our dealer, (where I work at Brantford Kia) and the two Hyundai dealers that we work with (Brantford Hyundai, and Owen Sound Hyundai) are fully on board with EV's. Adapt or die, right? I'm positive that we've pre-sold more EV6's here than anywhere in the province. Knowing these vehicles, and becoming experts on every part of them is a great business opportunity! Hiding from the inevitable switch to EVs isn't good business if you ask me!

[@brucemacneil]

@@BrantfordKia You are absolutely correct. Adapt or die. The combination of the Ioniq 5 charging at 350KW and Petro-Canada having 350KW chargers prompted an immediate order from me. Now - Hyundai needs every dealer to have 200KW+ charging at the location. And, team up with strategic businesses to have fast charge more ubiquitous - McDonalds would be great.

[@brendanng4358]

Thanks for the video! 1. Does the 19 in wheels get more driving range than 20in? 2. Why is there such a big drop in range from RWD to AWD? The iD4 does not have that issue. Thanks

[@BrantfordKia]

I don't think it's the wheels that offer more or less range, although there is some science to say that it could effect things. As far as the RWD and AWD range, I'll explain that in a further video. The big thing is they seem to have focused on adding performance with that system, over adding range.

[@jamespaul2587]

@@BrantfordKia Peter, I've heard that eco mode disconnects front motor when not required, which should improve range for dual motor version. I believe the ID.4 uses the same method to improve range

are the ioniq5 front seat the same as EV6? or EV6 has it own ? I had problem fitting the front seat of the Ioniq 5.

They're completely different seats. Check out our 2022 LA Auto show videos where I sit in both in the same day (separate videos)

[@paulhetherington969]

Aren’t you a little bit late to introducing this car. It’s been around for quite a while in the U.K., and the Kia ev6 is getting massive interest. I’ve already test driven both and ordered the ev6 gt-s awd. So not sure why you are just introducing it now, as a main Hyundai and Kia dealer. I would have thought that North America would be at least as fast as U.K. on getting these. Maybe not?

[@BrantfordKia]

Yeah, I'm not late, we're probably the first dealer to put a video up in Canada. This car is JUST arriving now. No dealer has test driven an EV6 yet here and we actually flew to the LA Auto Show to see one in person for the first time last month. Europe is a priority when it comes to EV's, and we get them a little later.

[@paulhetherington969]

It’s a change the U.K. beating the North America to tech. Wow. But you are going to love these cars! Wait til you see the EV6. The Hyundai is the Rebel alliance. The Kia is the sith empire. Really sexy.

[@donzimmerman5829]

Should have a rear wiper.

[@BrantfordKia]

Most sedans don't. I don't think it's as big of a deal as that Globe and Mail article seems to think. To be honest, I think that article was lazy reporting where the author spent no time researching to understand the vehicle, so he wasted words on something that I think would be a minor footnote to most Ionic 5 buyers.

@@BrantfordKia We have a lot of gravel roads and blowing dust from farm fields. We currently have an XC70 and the use the rear wiper quite a bit. Without it you could not use the rear view mirror.

Does the Ioniq 5 have rear winfow defrost and rear wiper for vancouver type weather?

[@BrantfordKia]

It will definitely have a defrost, and I'll be honest, there's a Globe and Mail article about the lack of a rear wiper on this car, and frankly, I just think it's lazy reporting. If you drive this car, and don't learn about the features of this car, (what people are actually interested in!) and you write an article about it having no wiper as a key point in the experience of the car, then you shouldn't be considered a journalist, and you have no idea what the Ioniq 5 buyer is really going to be looking for in the car. At best, most owners are going to think of it as a passing side note, like "yeah, it would be nice to have a rear wiper, but let me tell you why I love the car" that's the reality of experiencing this vehicle.

[@DrAdrianRobichaud]

How much is a level 2 charger? Does Hyundai sell them?

I'm sure they do! To get the maximum Federal Government rebate, you'll need to lease it for 4 years. The rebate decreases with each year less than four years on a lease.
