[@asimo3089]

The Ioniq 5 is one of the quietest cars I've driven for the price. Quieter than a Model S. I believe their NVH attempts worked wonders. This car is peaceful to sit in.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Thank you so much Asimo!

[@KyleHubb]

Which Model S? The Frameless windows are a bit louder than the framed ones. It's no reason why you need to compare it to a Model S. Kinda like comparing a Ferrari to a Hyundai Elantra in terms of quietness. lol

[@GET2222]

@@KyleHubb agreed. why everyone attempts to throw shade at TESLA, I have no idea. What does quieter mean anyway? What was he measuring it with? How windy was it during both tests? What’s it humid or dry? Was it on the same road?

[@keldbrodthagen618]

And so much better suspension than the mY

[@lachoneu2]

It doesn’t take much to be quieter than a Tesla. The Tesla windows are a wind noise nightmare. Plus the heat pump is really loud. My model 3 is my noisiest vehicle when it’s stopped that I own. The heat pump is louder than an idling internal combustion engine.

[@sava411]

If anyone is wondering why Hyundai uses so many stamped steel components compared to teslas die cast aluminum strategy. Hyundai is the only auto company in the world that produces their own steel. They save a lot of money using their own forges.

@@mrm1885 You clearly don't have a clue if you think this is an "economy" car. From top to bottom, the quality of the workmanship and features are better than the Model 3 or Model Y and just as good as the Mach E. You probably haven't even seen one in person let alone sat in one. From an engineering standpoint, Tesla is better in certain areas like heat pump size, battery capacity and range.

[@yrj77]

@@MunroLive Thank you for the content.

[@koeniglicher]

Major vehicle manufacturers have this knowledge either inhouse in their product development and costing teams or with their suppliers or - ideally - with both of these groups. In the end, they had to design, simulate, produce and test the constructions in the first place. They also have the competitors' products right there. I do not think the short Munro videos will bring much benefit to them. The audience of KZbin videos is rather common KZbin bingewatching people, not industry people. If industry people really appreciate Munro&Associates' work, they will buy the extensive (and expensive) reports, which have way more details than the few rather non-technical sentences in the videos. And if industry wants to review an Ioniq 5 - they will just buy one with the options of their choice, tear it down, look at their parts and software modules of interest and come to their own conclusions.

[@pauldesi]

Yep as an enthusiastic laymen, I appreciate the offensive strategy w crash management with full frontal and full width engagement. Better than adding so much weight into the cabin for defensive management. Also coming soon is side impact 2.0 (been following this years now) you’re going to see manufacturers going back to the drawing board for side structures. However with EVs they tend to have beefy floor sills so they’ll have a huge head start.

Awesome video. Great to see that one of the best looking vehicles out there is also well engineered underneath. And what a dramatic improvement over the previous generation of Kia/Hyundai EVs! Seeing vehicles like this and the Mach E really underscores what a dramatic shift it is to build real Ground Up EVs. The companies muddling about trying to build heavily compromised "platform agnostic" vehicles are just falling further behind the curve. At some point "know how" turns into "dont know how" if they arent putting real world EVs through their paces and learning from them.

You guys comment on the bracket holding the LV pump to be single use then comment the PS motor isn't protected. That's what the bracket serves as well. And it's shrouded underneath. Maintainability is not something you folks seem to focus on. Heavily integrated and buried systems can compromise the warranty costs for the manufacturer. I wish these "analysis" videos looked at the whole life cycle of the product and not just getting it out the door for cheap. Also, you really don't need to keep mentioning Tesla. That really puts your perspectives into a box. Not something I'd look for in a consulting firm.

@@chriauc2976 huh? Ill give you credit if English isn't your first language.

That thinking puts you in a box and shuts off any benefits or possibility of listening to something different. Look at how they critique and interior buttons because "Tesla puts it on a screen". Buttons have purpose and are good man to machine interfaces of used correctly. Saying something is "best" is subjective opinion if no facts are sought and learned.

[@mayflowerconsulting5540]

I too was surprised to see forged aluminum on a rear LCA / spring support. Most common are cast aluminum or stamped steel, with light cars like Malibu and the smaller Ford Bronco using the extruded aluminum, called ExtruForm from Raufoss. I was also surprised to see the extruded bracket welded to the rear of the pack, yet maybe this shape is already used on the pack, and was convenient.

[@BryanSeigneur0]

12:00 Additional hypothesis for the space between pack and frame: this pack is a common part of the platform, but chassis size can vary; i.e., they can make another narrower car than the Ioniq5 with this same pack design. (Ultracompact with 77kwhr & 400 miles & instant tire shred? That would be sweet, but probably just with the 58kwhr package.)

I'm interested on mounting a trailer hitch on the rear for a bike rack. Is that what the two brackets are for? It looked like they had studs ready to receive the attachments. I know they have a factory supplied hitch available but I need a 2" receiver not just a ball hitch.

[@BryanSeigneur0]

4:10 OMG I would have never in a million years stumbled on a random piece of slag metal (in a nice disc shape with a nice coating I guess) and guessed that it was just extra mass because of a negative harmonic found late in the design process. Loving the details from professional vehicle designer/engineers. 16:50 I wonder if the RWD (w/300 miles yeah!) I anticipate getting will get all the same mass dampening bits as the ultimate AWDs that everyone is reviewing. Because everyone is super impressed with the low noise level, but they only have the ultimate AWD to test.

Regarding the gap at the side of the battery pack,. The car is built on the Hyundai E-GMP platform which is meant to be used on a variety of vehicles. The Ioniq 5 is a little wider, thus a gap. A future car may be narrower without a gap at the side of the battery pack. The ability to use E-GMP platform across a range of future vehicles would still be advantageous.

[@papageo79]

Great video (as usual) ! I have a question: Do you get any feedback for the youtube videos from the companies that you make the analysis? I am sure that you have reports coming and going, but I was wondering about the videos that we see on yt. In this case did the Hyundai PR guys said something? Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@rogerstarkey5390]

As I just mentioned elsewhere, perhaps the prime example of "feedback" (that we, the viewers have seen) was the response of Ford to the Mach E critique, which it seems has influenced not only the redesign of that vehicle, but quite possibly a major rethink of the production development process, leading to a Tesla style "instant upgrade" policy.......?

[@wtmayhew]

It was not long ago that Hyundai/Kia were an also-ran in automotive engineering. This Iconiq 5 is a very savvy demonstration of engineering approaching or equaling world class. Kia have shown an excellent balance between safety, manufacturability and control of NVH for comfort. The use of mass dampers is somewhat of a, “fix,” but here their use is judicious. I have seen added mass on BMWs that is almost a transition from, “fix,” to, “kludge.” Over all, Kia’s engineering makes sense for getting the car to production while controlling up front and running costs. Well done.

[@johnreese3762]

[@TekweksTV]

[@bilgyno1]

Interesting detail on the mass dampeners. There are some people in Europe who experience vibrations in the car body at some speeds. Mine seems fine, so there might be some variation between cars.

[@rkan2]

Often also car manufacturers forgo to cater for places with harder pavement (bigger stone size because of freezing conditions or the use of studs) or unpaved roads. Take a German car to a typical German paved road and your interior noise is of no issue - take the same car on a road in a nordic country just after a winter and you'll feel like you are suddenly driving on an unpaved road :D

[@oloilmann4288]

Many places in Europe still have cobble stone roadways.

[@alexanderbrown5376]

Is the rear mass damper to be removed when installing rear hitch bar? Is it firmly connected to the same immobile part of the frame as the hitch mounts? The hitch can have significant weight (40 lbs) that could change balance if there is not weight that can be removed.

The discussion of the old Kona and Niro platforms just barely getting by their crash evaluations is the bad thing for those models. Having a much better for crash worthiness front end design on the Ioniq 5 is a good thing for that model. They have to walk a fine line here as an important part of their business is selling reports on new vehicles to other OEMs, who have a tendency to not buy anything from you if you show their mistakes to everyone.

Is it ok to have the low voltage pump and those plastic hose lines so exposed to dirt, water, snow and salt spray slush from the road surface?
