Hyundai Ioniq 5 Review: Interior, Price, Range & 0-60mph Test | Top Gear Tested

Can Hyundai continue its excellent recent form (making good sensible cars and fun hot hatchbacks) into the world of EVs?
That’s the question for the Hyundai Ioniq, the edgy electric family crossover that’s the first of Hyundai’s new family of Ioniq-badged EVs. Instead of using raw speed to sell it, this is an electric car groaning under the weight of thoughtful design touches, clever details - and one or two gimmicks - to lure you away from rivals like Ford, VW, and (you guessed it) Tesla.
Is the Ioniq another smash hit for Hyundai? Top Gear Magazine's Serious Car Tester, Ollie Kew is here with the Tested treatment to find out.

why are people still surprised that hyundai are making good cars? theyve been kicking goals for a decade.

[@dannnsss8034]

People just can't accept that Hyundai is good 🤦 Internalized racism or ignorance.

[@dzello]

@@dannnsss8034 You're severly pushing it by assuming racism and ignorance, it's just they generally aren't groundbreaking. They make good products for the price, but they don't break barriers. Solid cars at a low price, which is what they do, is just not very thrilling to people.

@@dzelloI agree mostly but hyundai had proven its self to be able to make both reliable, high quality, luxurious, cars all at a lower price than their competitors, I agree it's not ground breaking but they certainly have put the customers much higher up their list than alot of other manufacturers, for example pretty much all hyundai kia genesis models come with or can be optioned with a blind spot cam In the Guage cluster and that should be on every car but it's not, mainly hyundai kia no one else

[@dzello]

@@tenderjerky3504 Yes, that's what they do. They take what others innovate and sell it for a way lower price and with a reliable product. It's why they're growing so much, they're doing what actual customers want (good product, low price). But you don't see them do like an hypercar with top technologies they developped.

It's the opposite actually: if it was smaller, it would probably lose points more than win any. People prefer big cars and you'd lose space inside (room, storage, etc.) by making it smaller.

[@rustybaws]

@@Lewis_Standing it is massive, when compared to what it looks like in pictures anyway. You'd expect it to be a similar size to a hatchback like a Golf or similar. It's wheelbase is longer than a standard range rover I am sure. It's size feels similar to a Volvo XC60 or something along those lines. It's more of a SUV than a hatch anyway. It is a wide car as well and because of the wheelbase the space inside is quite vast, the legroom in the rear is very generous.

No, you can't. Some 485,000 vehicles from the Korean automakers have been recalled.

Eleven fires have been reported in the U.S. with no injuries.

[@bilgyno1]

Hyundai are not completely vertically integrated. For a start, they get their batteries from LG Chem (yes, same as Bolt... and they did have to recall a lot of Kona EVs to replace batteries) and SK Innovation (which are in this Ioniq 5). ADAS is the run of the mill MobilEye technology you see in a lot of brands. If you want vertical integration, go to Tesla and especially BYD. Sony seems a pipe dream, and Lucid still very nascent.

Mine already has had an ICC replacement and multiple electronic failures. It's been back to the dealer multiple times and has caused nothing but frustration and inconvenience. Tbh, I was surprised given all the awards and postive reviews. However, just take a look at the online forums and you'll see the litany of faults and problems with the Ioniq 5. In over 30 years of motoring I've never had such a poor experience with any vehicle. And I'm one of many, many people. Do yourself a favour and avoid at all costs.

[@shirleymoffat3338]

So, it's November 2023 now. Not quite 2025 but we recently bought the upgraded Ioniq 5. There's not a whole lot of difference to be seen for the upgrade - I think the lower spec model has been dropped and a new one, the Namsan, has been added to the top. We're getting around 280 - 300 miles of range. And it's everything that the review says. Boring but practical things like boot capacity, sound system quality,, visibility etc, all get a thumbs up from me too.

8:55 The range dropping faster than the trip increases only means that you are using charge faster than you were a couple minutes ago for the data it used to estimate range and it is now recalculating based on more aggressive use, as you would expect on a high-speed run.
