Don’t Buy Hyundai IONIQ 5 N- The Reasons Are So Sad ☹️

[@hassanaindastageer]

You're right... This vehicle isnt for you. Drive something boring and moan all day. You are the opposite of what Hyundai was aiming for with this car.

[@matthewliuliu666]

Why do you complain so much? If you think model y is a better buy, just go buy the model y, people who buy this car doesn’t care what other cars cost, they will really appreciate the style , the performance, the joy that this car can bring to them, and really enjoy to drive this car everyday

[@maikel74]

my thoughts exactly, yes, you can buy prettier cars for the same money, why buy it if you dont appreciate the performance package, because it is a beast..

You only care about 0-60 for performance? This is a track car as are all N cars. It’s a niche EV designed for cornering, drifting, thrill of shifting, and exhaust sound albeit virtual. Comparing it to a Model Y is just plain ignorant. Btw, Hyundai is not pronounced Hondai.

I5N's range is what it is...till it isn't. I'd love to see what a cold weather climate owner I5N's range average is after a hard winter. Seems like Hyundai has a winner to me.

[@MotionBerlinR]

@@cbotten106 Range is no problem, because it’s charging so fast and you need the same time for >600miles like a Model Y LR. In normal everyday life, you charge at home anyway and don't drive over 200 miles, at least I don't know anyone who does that The problem seems the bad charging infrastructure in the US, other than Tesla. In Europe we have so many 350kW chargers, so we don’t have to use the Tesla netwerk. I think that's a shame because I really love the States and it seems like Tesla has a huge competitive advantage just because of the charging infrastructure and not because they build particularly great cars. I hope there will be more independent charging providers so that you can choose the car that suits you best. Maybe I'm wrong in my assessment, but it looks that way from the outside.

[@Hdgkrosj838]

I’m a huge N fan (& own an I30N) but these points are pretty valid at this price point. Objectively most people buying an N are doing it for performance and N cars sometimes compromising on other areas such as comfort etc. Thanks for the unbiased review!

[@robpr315]

There's always a premium to pay with performance. If you add luxury with the same level of performance, you're looking at vehicles that start near $100K. The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing will give you a tad bit less performance, but will cost $100K. If you look at the Lucid Air Grand Touring, it also gives you a little more luxury, and more performance, but rings in at over $110K. Performance is the Ionic 5N's target, and it's hit the mark rather well. The other items can be forgiven for those that strictly care about performance. The Audi RS3, btw, slower 0-60 times, similar price, but also has manual seats. And as for the Tesla, regardless of what you think about Elon's policies, their products are always being ridiculed for their lack of quality. I doubt I would trust a Tesla with my family.

[@benlea19]

It's what I'd describe as a novelty buy. The acceleration is great and so is the handling, but the price is incredibly high for such short range and there are many better buys. Definitely might be worthwhile in a few years when it's half the price when purchased used.

[@sinccrruon]

The only valid point i heard was the range. Other than that. All the compromises are for the performance and handling. And the rest of your points are only for yourself.

[@shiftsgiggles962]

Bought it! You’re spot on.

[@davebway6371]

It’s pronounced HI-UN-DAY - and you buy the car for its performance, that’s why its worth the price. It’s selling well in the UK. This car can be a silent EV family car, and with one press of a button, switch to a total hooligan, V8 imitating, track weapon. No other car can do that. By the way, if you lease you probably can’ track it. Buy it. Keep it. It’s a future classic. This guy actually knows fuck all.

When I saw that you bought this, I said OH NO. LOL and here we are...I've seen you buy a lot of cars, the best by far was your Plaid and the Porsche. Leave these overpriced one trick cars to the people that are LOYAL to the brand, because this is a HORRIBLE deal for the price. No other way to spin it, it's just not worth it. Online, there are very few actual owners...you being one of them. The rest are just infomercials from people given the car by the company. Bad trade off for real buyers. Great honest video, but it's funny. The internet LOVES drama, and videos like this. Because you did a video on why you SHOULD buy this car, and there are no views or comments like this. Sad.

Porsche EV's are pathetic when it comes to resale. If you in the market for a fun EV that gives some driver enjoyment, what are you sugesting that can compete with the Ioniq 5 N? Its not just 0-100 but fun factor. The typical buyer is not looking for a big SUV but for an EV that that can push through the mountains but still accomodate a few kids in the back. I would say you are looking at this from the wrong perspective. And I am not even a fan of this car. Way, way, way too heavy.

[@bijdikh8516]

I don't think many of the reasons are great reasons, but the range is a pretty good reason. You really have to be a huge Hyundai fanboy to want this car over the competition. Model 3 performance is a little quicker with a lot better range for $15k less. i4 M50 is almost as quick, but has more range and is way more luxurious for the price point. The Lucid Air Touring is a little slower, but gets 2x the range and has a really luxurious interior for $8k more. The Model S LR is also the same MSRP but qualifies for new EV tax credit in the US (whereas the Hyundai does not), and has 2x the range with close to the same 0-60 time with a much nicer interior. That being said, if you want a fun EV hot hatch, nothing beats the Ioniq 5N. But for $65k, it's hard to justify that price for a 4 door EV hatchback that's best suited on a race track, and sucks to live with in the real world as a daily driver.

[@craig8638]

The range is problematic. Also, the dealers in my area quote over a thousand a month to lease it. Hard sell when an i4 goes for less.

[@dex2531]

He's complaining about the range, but comparing to the Model Y and if you're driving the same way. Well, guess what? same range issues as you drive anything hard, it loses range.

Even in the significantly reduced power mode, the performance drops significantly after 13 minutes and it is almost lapped 🤣. You don't even need endurance mode for the Ioniq 5N, you can still stay in sprint mode for 13 minutes. You can see how the new Tesla Model 3P performs on the Nordschleife (Misha Charoudin Tesla Model 3 Performance). Overheated brakes after 1/3, overheated battery at the beginning of the last 1/3. I've seen it myself several times on the Nordschleife, how the Teslas suddenly lose power. Or take a look at the direct comparison of M3P vs 5N at Throttle House. The 5N is >0.7 sec. faster than the Tesla on the very short course with a 1:12.44. And the Tesla is even in sprint mode.

Depends what you're looking for, the driving experience of the 5N is on another level, if you just care about 0-60 and being a poser, the M3P is perfect. The same reason there are still 'slow' performance cars for double the price of the M3P.
