Hyundai IONIQ 5 Trim Levels Compared

[@Josh-179]

The limited just has so many "must haves" to deny. If you can afford it, it's a no brainer. The other trims will get you from A-B but the limited just looks so much better and has the wanted features.

[@CrazyGuy9990]

Trim level difference is kind of on par with the Tucson Hybrid. I opted for the Limited and I don't regret it. Even for $5K more. The 360 surround view, memory seats, and blind spot view cameras are worth it.

[@johnpoldo8817]

Kyle, thanks for the wonderful comparison. Limited is the model I would buy if Tesla couldn’t deliver. I love all the Limited model bells & whistles. Glass or sunroof is a must.

[@GuusKlaas]

Trims are completely different here in Europe (Benelux). Fortunately the sun roof is something you can remove on each trim (ordered a lounge edition here). The sun roof sits 4.5cm lower. Which is a huge issue here in The Netherlands. Considering we're all giants.

[@thatawesomekidd]

[@LS7-OQ]

Nice to see a SE mini review. Most reviewers are only reviewing the Limited. It is a nice car and was all set to buy one but the seats, (side bolsters), were very uncomfortable for me.

[@_Moto215]

I currently have a deposit on a limited and my wife just got the SE. I was driving it today and I have the same concern. Think my butt is just too big lol.

[@michaelgoetz7506]

Those chargers kind of look familiar... The outdoor review of the Limited was shot at the new(ish) EA chargers about 2 miles from my house. I remember that 70 degree day; the next day it was in the 30's. Yes, the Limited is definitely the way to go. The roof really changes the car, and the heads up display is transformative. However, after test driving both the Ioniq 5 and the sibling Kia EV6, the Kia's handling is much more to my liking. I'm shopping around for one now.

[@15schmitd]

lol i saw "olympic plaza" and thought "wow another with an ea station?" not looking at the phone number initially, then i saw tj max and whent "oh i know where he is"

[@wtfx5757]

Compared the two myself---went with the ioniq 5. The handling on the EV6 is definitely more sporty, but I prefer the added comfort of the ioniq. Both really fun and great cars.

[@brandenflasch]

Glass roof on SEL would’ve made it a lot more comparable with ID.4.

[@TechDork1]

I think the SEL is the best value proposition. I dont think kyle knew the price differences but the price jump from se to sel is minor for all the things you get compared to the massive price jump to limited.

[@0hypnotoad0]

Going sans glass roof will definitely quiet down the ride a bit with the extra headliner insulation. I tend to drive around with a roof rack and/or roof box, sometimes with ladders and other noisy items on the roof, a glass roof would probably be annoying as all hell.

[@MrZola1234]

The SE comes standard with rwd with a 77kw battery for 44k...the small batery for 39k will come later this year.

All I need is the SE with AWD. If it has the heat pipe and battery warmer, I'm good

[@vlad2838]

New Ioniq 5 SEL RWD owner. Living in FL, I’m glad that this model doesn’t have a glass roof, which leads to a baking of the interior even in the winter. I like the leatherette seating surfaces, and not having the reduced range of the AWD reduces my range anxiety. Call me old skool, but I don’t use driver assistance-too invasive for my driving style.

[@misterfunnybones]

Didn't mention the heat pump addition from the essential trim to the preferred trim. It's more stuff that can break, but it's a range extender in cold & hot climates because it's more efficient than traditional aircon or resistive electric heat.

[@tomcal25]

It's extremely complicated system for a very small improvement in range and known to have issues. Just ask Tesla. It extracts heat from the motors, battery, electronics and other heat sources to supplement the 100 efficient resistive heating.

[@John-hp2hg]

The more I see them, the more I want one. Really cool car.

[@3dw3dw]

They are very rare. I thought my lotus Elise was a rare car because I'd see 5-6 lamborghinis in the wild between sighting another Lotus. I've had the Ioniq 5 for a year, and besides at the dealership, I've never seen another one in person.

[@smileandlaughs]

Paying 47k for the SE trim and Hyundai goes out of its way to reduce the software functionality from high way assist 2 to 1. This car is really feeling overpriced for what it's offered.

[@thomasrider5852]

Honestly I think the SEL trim is their volume seller. For people like me that live in a hot state the rear AC is a must with kids. The limited is because you want it all, SE is what you test drive for price and SEL is what you buy for a little bit more money but more features

[@kyliefan7]

Seems like they are trying to compete with the model Y but this is not an SUV and from what reviewers have said it sits like a car/hatchback. I honestly don’t see how they will compete with prices that are same or higher than a Tesla model 3!!!

I wish the range was better on the Ioniq. Ioniq is quite competitive with the model Y. Ioniq simply has better manners and doesn't abuse me with extraneous chimes and muting music, and panic braking.

that sun roof is amazing. Great comparison review btw.

[@officialyasir]

Thank you for doing this review even though it was raining!

[@Yanquetino]

Good comparison! Answered a lot of my questions about the differences. I'd definitely go for the Limited. I know the Ioniq 5 has a tow rating of 2,000 lbs., but nobody can tell me if it's possible to order one *with* the tow hitch installed. Gotta know that to pull a tiny 265 lb. camping trailer before I could take the plunge.

[@amigajoe]

The tow hitch is on the list of 'Port Installed Accessories'. So, I guess it depends on whether your dealer is actually letting you 'order' your car while it is still in-transit, or if they are only selling off the dealership floor.

[@mjorn19]

SE's piling up on lots with no Limited's in sight. Really disappointing.

Honestly the only thing that I really miss between the SEL and the Limited is the wheels! The starburst pattern is really awesome. I've owned a few cars with sun/moon roofs over the years and honestly almost NEVER open them. Haven't enjoyed HUD in cars I've driven AND I'm the only driver so a memory function is also kind of useless for me.

[@simeonellinger2064]

I like memory for having a reclining position with the steering wheel tucked away.

[@davidraymond8994]

The only thing I really care about that is missing in the SE and what is causing me to pause buying one is the front parking sensors which is ridiculous that the SE doesn't have it for $49k IMHO.

[@nxtiak]

Driver's seat headrest in Limited is adjustable too (not sure on other trims), can move forward and back. Also Digital Key, use your phone or an NFC card to unlock and start the car, only in Limited. Limited also has rear window sunshades. Limited has automatic up/down front windows.

If you don’t care about all the options the SE offers everything you need for less money. I got an SE for 43, and for my family that was an awesome deal for a car that had more options standard than our previous car. I was looking for the spec that will be most efficient and last the longest. The only thing about the SE I don’t like is the stereo is pretty weak, but for what we paid it’s still a ton of car for the money in 2023.

[@brandywell44]

No one mentions the Kia equivalent of this car. In the UK the first cars sold came with a solar panel roof for recharging and internal ventilation on hot days when parked.

[@belavet]

I imagine the sliding center console is designed that way for when you are lounging to be able to easily pick up drinks or whatever you set down there, but from a practicality standpoint I can see myself parallel parking and hopping out the passenger's side during rush hour. Can't tell you how annoying it is in Boston to park and then be boxed in lol. This is made even worse when there is snow on the ground.

[@larrysyverson9164]

A super comparison of the three models! Thank you so much. One issue no one has covered is the necessity of AWD for winter driving. I have had a front engine, front wheel drive vehicle for years and have had no problems with NE Ohio winter. Is an AWD EV really necessary under these circumstances? With a rear wheel drive only configuration you would be saving money on the purchase price, reduce the vehicle’s weight and complexity and not have to give up the range - considerable in some cases - of AWD . Any thoughts on this by anyone? Thank you

[@dconner9]

Agree you would most likely be fine with RWD; especially since the motor sits over the rear axle. You would however be giving up more power; although I have driven the RWD and it seemed fine to me from a performance perspective. You will also lose the heat pump which could hurt range in the Winter months. Thanks for watching!

[@moonsapling]

If you dont plan on going offroading (which this vehicle isnt made for) RWD is all you need. It has absolutely enough power to travel comfortably and the money you save on AWD you can spend on good tires. Also dont forget the fact that the electric motor sits on the rear axle and combined with very precise traction control and good tires I highly doubt you will have any issues even in snow. A friend of mine has a Ioniq 5 Long Range RWD, he has winter tires on jt and it had no trouble climbing to the ski resort unlike some AWD SUVs with bad tires which struggled to get through what we did. If you dont need 300hp then you wont miss the AWD. It acts like RWD 99% of the time anyways.

[@davidmmuench]

I think every car in every trim should have memory seats. I'm also baffled by the fact that neither the Ionic 5 nor the EV6 have rear wipers. Question for you: Can you change the HUD size to be larger?

[@jzed]

I don’t have an Ioniq 5, but I do have a 2020 Genesis G70 with the HUD. I imagine they’re similar in settings since they’re both newer Hyundai cars. On mine, I can change the size of the speed, but cannot change the overall size of the HUD display. That said, you can move the HUD up and down and rotate/tilt side to side to get it in just the right spot.

[@hahahacho9474]

Here's an interesting question. How does the range on a RWD extended range compare to using an AWD trim in eco mode (ie RWD mode)?I doubt it's exactly the same because of the extra weight of a 2nd motor.

[@DarriusTaylor]

256-ish mile range AWD / 303 RWD

[@aronsingletary]

It's surprising Hyundai doesn't provide a simple trim level comparison on Hyundai's web page. Features like memory seats and V2L shouldn't be tied to Limited trim. I don't understand people's fascination with glass roofs. It's one feature I generally try to avoid because hail in Texas will take out the roof.

[@aronsingletary]

Nice, the external V2L functionality apparently exists for all trim levels. It's just the interior V2L connector which the Limited provides.

[@Wasabi9111]

Would you put your purse in front of the console or underneath the center arm rest? I would be afraid to put anything in front of the sliding console in case it accidentally roll over to the accelerator pedal. I don’t new the center console to slide. I would much prefer to have more cubbies in front of the sliding console, especially for my phone.

[@MikeColburn]

Clearly you never had a full glass roof in Arizona with 115 degree temperatures. The only reason I didn't buy the Limited was because it came with this giant radiator/sunburn! Even with the shade closed and the window tinted it still emits a lot of heat into the car! I had a moon roof in the past and that was just a small piece of glass over the driver seat, it was miserable and we never opened it up. I can't imagine the entire roof all glass!

[@jayxie402]

[@jimrichard5535]

In person there is a big jump in the appearance of the interior from the SE to the SEL and again with the Limited trim but good luck finding a Limited.

I rather the HUD on the mid spec on the Ev6 too which I've seen on other KZbin channel (Kia Hyundai channel) you can go in the settings and change the height higher or lower for each driver preference. What also gets me about these cars with a big pano glass roof is they don't open here N. AMERICA but I seen in a Phillipines video the Id.4 roof opens. I want an open roof why pay for glass hot box and it doesn't open for $1-$2k extra. Also why they give Asia an open roof and US fixed glass when Asians constantly have monsoon downpour rains is beyond me. 🤣🤣Give us all open roofs not everyone has to be another Tesla.

Shows their integrity. I walked away from one that was asking 5k over. They called me 2 hours later to say they will take it down 1k and I sent him a picture of the invoice of the SE I bought at msrp.

No one answers my questions, when can I get one in the State of Virginia. I called the dealers and they tell me not available.

SE RWD for the win.

[@mr88cet]

I’m thinking Limited RWD: Range, glass roof, HUD, and ventilated seats. (That is, if Limited is even available in RWD…?) But also wait a couple years for dealers to stop marking them up by … what? $5K? Not interested in the matte paint and the sub, personally. Heat pump: gotta have it!

@@mr88cet It appears that most of the AWD drive cars are destined for the northern states, and the RWD cars are mostly sent to the southern states. You can find a few AWDs in the south and a few RWDs in the north, but they're rarer. It may be worth travelling or having a car shipped to get what you want. You may also want to do a little travelling or have the car shipped in order to save a little (or a lot) of money. A lot of dealers are charging insultingly high markups above MSRP (10K+ is not unheard of), but it is possible to get the Ioniq 5 or the EV 6 at MSRP if you shop around a bit and are flexible regarding where you're willing to purchase. I live in the NYC suburbs where the second part of this video was shot, and the dealers around here want between 3K to 6K above MSRP. I can drive an hour or two out to Long Island or north to Albany and get either car at MSRP. Do your homework and call around. It is possible to get these cars at MSRP. It's somewhat harder to get the exact choice of colors, however.

@@michaelgoetz7506, excellent info, thanks! I’m in Austin TX, so I might find it easier to get RWD. Cool!

@@mr88cet My sister's in McAllen, and there's definitely a lot fewer dealers near her. I advised her to get the RWD version since chargers are far between down there and the extra range may be useful.

@@mr88cet Q: stop marking them up by … what? $5K? A: worse upwards of $20K and $30K, but of course if you listen to the teenagers tell it (hint, disconnected from the real word and not yet living as TRUE adults) battery technology and EV vehicles as whole are supposedly going to "get cheaper" in the near future. Phil's response: ok when...? and this has been my question going back to 2020 and the arrival of the GLOBAL PANDEMIC, and before the onset of WW3 in Ukraine.
