Hyundai IONIQ 5 N: The Haters Are Wrong… Yes, Even You

[@broimnotyourbro]

People will dismissively say “you’re driving a video game.” Yes. These people have not driven a modern racing sim. This could give companies the ability to make cars - accurately - impersonate historical engines. This could be amazing.

It's a pity the US doesn't get the i20N. Which is known as the better driver's car out of the N range. Absolutely love mine.

[@AlanisKing]

Agree. I’ve been wanting to drive one forever, but juts haven’t gotten to!

[@MadCow582]

I wish for this too. Maybe since I'm older now, but the fact it's a hatch is great for daily practicality and sized for enjoyment too. I used to hate hatchbacks long ago 😅

[@dannyphillips8793]

Would be happy if they brought back the Veloster N

[@Miatalustrium]

I would absolutely love an i20N, but I do also love my 6 M/T N-Line Elantra :) I wish I grabbed the Elantra GT N-Line before it went away, though to get the hatch and get as close to the i20N as possible. That said, I've got a EN on it's way in and haven't decided if I want to pick it up when it comes in or not, because I also like my cheaper payments and gas with the N-Line.

[@lytatroan]

This and the new Dodge Charger are both very interesting with their imitation of ICE, but it makes them so different compared to other EVs which I like I love how both of them look

[@AlanisKing]

I'm really interested to drive the new Charger!

[@Miatalustrium]

It seems like there is a good bit of contrast between how reviews react to them both, and I think Dodge making the Charger an EV has dramatically damaged the reception from reviewers and fans alike on the Charger where there was really no expectation from Hyundai for the I5N, because it didn't have a legacy preceding it. I don't know if I've seen serious-enough reviews on the Charger EV to say if it's as fun as the I5N, but it seems like the biggest difference is truly marketing first, product second. Either way, I absolutely LOVE the I5N and would own one if I had access to a charger on the daily (and could also stomach the payment, haha)

[@lytatroan]

@@Miatalustrium Yeah, the marketing was a big blunder. I really love how the new charger looks and think they should've released the ICE first and EV second, but it is what it is.

[@AlanisKing]

Thank you so much, Chris. I really appreciate this. Happy New Year!

[@fundude9938]

I certainly don't think this is a bad car, and it isn't fair to hate on it simply because it's electric. Looks fun to drive and has great performance. That being said, I still don't like the idea of any electric car trying to mimic a gas car. I get the idea behind it and I think it's impressive, but I think I'd have a lot more fun with and appreciate it if it focused all of its effort on being a fantastic EV, instead of trying to be something it's not and has no reason to be. Certainly not hating on it, but there are tons of fantastic gas cars you could get for 70k 😂. I feel the same way about the new charger EV. Great review thought 👍👏

[@AlanisKing]

You're so right! As a tool, the faking is so good on track. Thank you for watching!

[@big-man-c77]

this car has really intrigued me. i liken its engine noises to vegans who eat meat replacements: people arent moving away from meat because they hate the flavour or experience, much like how people aren’t ditching combustion engines because they hate the sound. in this way, i think you can reach the best of both worlds, and the whole “extra feedback for drivers” thing certainly is an interesting concept that i would like to ask people who own them if it does help

[@AlanisKing]

Thanks for watching! It’s such a good car. I hope you can experience it (or talk to someone who owns one) someday. It really changed the way I think

[@cabal3747]

As a person who is both a vegan and an Ioniq 5 N owner, thank you for making that comparison in a way that's not insulting to both! I keep seeing people make the comparison as a way of being dismissive. But yes, some of us stopped eating meat while we still love the taste, and in the case of the 5 N, it got me into EVs in a way that no other EV could. I traded in a Focus RS for it, for goodness' sake. But the 5 N lets me have my cake and eat it too -- it's the best of both worlds.

[@AlanisKing]

@@cabal3747 That's so awesome. I hope you love it for a long time

[@MotionBerlinR]

@@AlanisKing I as a non-vegetarian would also eat a healthy meat substitute if it tasted like real Wague (haven't found anything at dinner yet unfortunately), switched from the Golf R to the Ioniq 5N and it's just Wague

[@surkh]

That is very well put. I've been coming up with various analogies over the last two years to contextualize for people the 5N's party tricks, but I think you've hit the nail on the head!

[@Francisco.Alvarez98]

Hi Alanis! I didn't even know this car existed, I just got out from under my rock lol. But thank you for showing it to us!

[@AlanisKing]

Francisco! Hi! I hope you’re having a great holiday season. Thank you for all of your support and kind messages 💙

[@SterlingWheel]

I've seen every review of this car. EV is such an appliance with no soul. But Hyundai fixed that by making an EV fun. I hope that they are built well enough that we can enjoy it on the second-hand market.

[@AlanisKing]

Me too! Thanks for always watching 💙

[@Neojhun]

I doubt Hyundai can build them as sturdy enough to survive unscathed how hard people will drive these. Lead foot screaming around corners will cause problem on even well built cars. Expect repairs at several years old.

[@BryceLovesTech]

Imagine in a few years picking one of these up for about 20K. That’s gonna be an incredible deal.

[@onehorsepower]

As a driver enthusiast and 5 N owner, I welcome the fresh look at the idea this car represents. 'Love letter to the gasoline car" - so true! This car has challenged me in several ways. No1 is weight, I was a weight snob basically and couldn't think I could truly enjoy a car above 3500lbs. So I don't agree with Alanis comments on weight, I think it hides it really well as long as you don't drive in the underdamped comfort setting. A test drive changed my mind and owning one sealed it, heavy cars can be fun! Second, I hate fake engine noises - my last three ICE cars had them and I really had to switch them off to not feel miserable. So I really was sceptical I would like it longer term. 6 months in, I still love it, but only with the gears. Without I hate it. And only on a good drive. On a traffic jam commute, it's the opposite, what a relevation to be able to drive such a fun car in total silence. So much less stress! Having the choice is golden... As for explaining to peoples who don't get the fake stuff, I don't have food analogies. Simplest is to just take them for a ride. For written comments as here, I liken it to music and dancing. The 5 N is not the live concerto of the best musicians of the world. You do not listen to it like you can listening to a NA high revving V12 with a great exhaust. The sounds it makes are a complement to driving, and driving is like dancing. Dancing without music is possible but it feels empty - that's how I felt about EVs before, some EVs steer objectvely good, but it's empty emotionally. The Ioniq 5 N is live dancing to very good music, emotional engagement check. And when the music is good, it actually doesn't matter much if it's a live band, or a good recording or if the music was created electronically. What matters is that it makes you want to dance. So the Ioniq 5 N isn't a live band, but the music is good. At times, given the right road, very good. You're completely absorbed and the last thing on your mind is if the music is 'real'. Something like that...

[@AlanisKing]

So glad to hear this. I do think it hides its weight really well! But there’s still a bottom-heaviness on the track (and canyon roads) imo. It could be MUCH worse and does a great job of feeling agile, but still has the tendency to make me feel queasy

[@onehorsepower]

​@@AlanisKingfair enough. Don't have the same feeling, but I could tell it feels a bit different, perhaps unfamiliar? Because it is unlike any gas car. With learning the car I'm perfectly happy leaning on it all day, maybe give it some time?

[@JEndless2025]

I wonder how far can someone take the Gas Car emulation via modifications? Like imagine videogame rumble engines to the stearing and seats. Or an aromatic system to get the smell of an old carburated car. Imagine electrifying an old 60's muscle car while still retaining the old car character.

[@AlanisKing]

This is such a fun idea. I love it

[@MotionBerlinR]

Imagine you could switch between the 60‘s muscle car, BMW M3 and a Lambo Aventador sitting in the same car 🥳

[@kurtg5405]

I love this video and review. Candid and no silly prejudice because it's an EV, with honest observations and feedback. I'm exicited for what N division and other manufacturers do with this exciting new tech, blending it with what makes cars fun.

[@WFO.]

[@AlanisKing]

Totally makes sense. I think it will price a lot of people out on the new-car market

[@mekg5430]

Hopefully tracks can afford to implement reliable fast-charging infrastructure to help ease the minds of current EV drivers and motivate other people to try tracking an EV. A larger variety of drivers should help keep more tracks open!

[@AlanisKing]

Yes! I hope to see more and more track chargers in the future

[@MadCow582]

Great job scoping out the feel and non tangibles! It's a great effort to bridge the ICE and EV of driving passion. Numbers and specs are only one part of the equation. Quoting Jeremy Clarkson, he once noted the 1M as his car of the year, not because of power or record times but due its FUN nature to drive.

One of your best reviews yet, Alanis! I think it's really cool what Hyundai is doing with the IONIQ 5 N, I hope you get to review the Elantra N too! I continue to question though if electric cars will be the 'end-all-be-all' with sales seeming to slow and more brands shifting away from plans to go EV-only to building hybrids instead. Interestingly, the British Touring Car Championship dropped hybrid systems to go with a 100% sustainable fossil-free fuel called Hiperflo ECO102 R100 for the 2025 season. Wonder if there might be something there 🤔

Fantastic video! You do a really nice job conveying the joy and emotion in the car’s driving experience, as well as placing it in context as a watershed vehicle. Q: You said the 5 N made you nauseous driving hard on canyon roads. When you did this, did you use the manual mode and powertrain sounds, or were you just in full traditional EV settings? (I ask because even though I enjoy EVs and one-pedal driving, I struggle with motion sickness. The sounds and shift points of 5 N inadvertently significantly help combat this problem for me.)

[@AlanisKing]

Awww thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed. It made me sick in both modes (fake sounds and traditional EV)

5:35...who is driving? Your cosplay alter ego, Goth Alanis? Seriously, very cool video with excellent track footage. You make a good point for consumers to consider: The way it makes you feel nauseous in some street driving situations because of its bottom-heavy nature is an observation about the car I haven't heard from any other reviewers. My Mazda dealership is paired with a Hyundai store; when I was in for service recently, I noticed two Ioniq 5 Ns sitting out front. I was tempted to ask if I could test drive one, but I bet they don't let those things off the lot with anyone but a seriously interested buyer. Plus the test drive would tempt me to buy a car I can't remotely afford...

[@SuppressiveSquirrel]

@AlanisKing , thanks for the reply. Note that Car and Driver and several other enthusiast publications have all gotten sub-200 mile range out of it and that was driving gingerly. I suspect your track driving made for a lot less than 150 miles total . Oh, and the reason why you were limited in track session laps is that the car can only do so many before needing a recharge and/or overheating motors or pack. Even Hyundai says it’ll only do two full Nürburgring laps before needing a rest and recharge.

There are 2 cases where if 1 small dent that probably was there from previous owner. Will cost $60,000 ( Canadian Dollars) or $44,000 US Dollars, to replace the Battery 🔋 Packs after 1st Service. Hyundai, and all other Electric Vehicle's. Replace the whole battery 🔋 Packs, and not portions of it like a Tesla service Technicians. With Hyundai Ionic they don't honor warranty if damaged occurs, and Insurance totals it. In YT there was UBER drivers who replaced the Tesla's within 2 year's. Just before 100,000 miles. They regret the 3rd year of ownership and still making payments on it, for 2 extra years. With possible replacement of $25,000 battery cost $8,900 & tech labour's is always 90% of the cost. 2 battery replacement means waste, damaging the Environment including Water Resources 💧. There were 4 Recycling ♻️ Centers in the United States. Note none are in California, due to Environmental Impact. Now only 1 is in operation. This year 2 burned down in March Phoenix Arizona, November Missouri, with 202p Illinois facilities burned twice. Hard to believe 1 Electric Vehicle is more Toxic to the Environment than all V8's ever made combined. Don't believe me look up : " Missouri Lithium Recycling Plant Explosion - Analysis " it shows dead Fish 🐟. Reasons : Reasons Fire crews dousing water in to fire's to maintain area cool as Lithium burned out. For 10 days the crews Sprayed the Granulated Minerals into Creeks, Rivers, and Lakes . Environmental assessment dead fish 🐟, and well and Faucet Tap Water was Polluted to where boiling won't purify the Water. I would say that cleaning air, has been to the best it will ever get. China is still the dirtiest air industrial country blowing across Pacific Ocean. Like Sahara sand blowing to Florida. I remember 1980's, in El Monte California you couldn't see the Mountains. Now they are very clear though, obscured by Dreaging Quarry in Irwindale, Duarte, area from 10 on 605 to 210 freeways. I live in the area and had a black Mustang. 10 minutes after washing, it was full of dust. . The EPA measures the Carbon in the Air and blame cars. They have to Add China and the 69 Volcanoes 🌋 all over the spewing Magma and Smoke Ash, Sulfur as well. They can't take away my much cleaner reliable V8, Mustang. It has 113,000 miles with no Leaks . V8's Forever! 🇺🇸👦👍🏎🏁🚩
