Do you think that the GV60 install should be about the same as the Ionic 5? I’ve walked away from an unlocked car one too many times.

[@garyclark6747]

1. Effortlessly Accelerating 2. Spacious Interior 3. Phenomenal Styling 4. Spectacular Heads Up 5. Stellar Charging Every vehicle has drawbacks (I can list five) but the IONIQ 5 good so far out weighs the negatives that it’s a no brainer repeat purchase. 10:22

[@robertblock]

You pretty much nailed it! I also like the “twin displays”, you don’t have to look down to your right at an iPad and take your eyes off the road. Also, it has the right amount of controls so that you don’t have to use the touchscreen if you don’t want to learn. Someone can just jump in and drive it without having to learn multiple steps in the touchscreen.

[@stupidstoops]

Ionic 5 owner since may 2024. 1-superior fast charging 2-phenomenal retro looking style 3-effortless driving, quiet, comfortness feels like daily therapy 4-350+ miles of range on full battery 5-highway driving on sport and even normal modes are exhilarating.

[@axion8788]

Good list of major advantages. There are quite a number of other features I got with my 2023 LTD - Automatic retraction of the seat when the door is opened making it so easy to get in and out. 3-level heated and 3-level ventilated seats The extraordinary lane centering and cruise control. I always have lane centering on cruise is on about 95% of the time, city and highway. 3 odometers with each with its own distance, time and MPK: Every drive, Since recharging and Cumulative. When you adjust the headlight settings and/or wiper settings it shows the status on the driver screen. Really comfortable seats. Very good MPK. Heads-up display! So add it all up and you get a really great EV.

[@Molishious]

That’s what I put in one groups as”bells and whistles”. One of the reasons I’m probably passing on the Y despite the price. Really no luxury features. I’ve always compromised on the trim but by golly, this time, well this time I want it all!

[@douglasjohnson6344]

#6 for me is the seamless (wired) support for Apple CarPlay. I’m probably biased by the negatives of previous things (cars, jobs, houses, whatever) but I’m constantly debugging the broken Bluetooth connection in my wife’s Mini Cooper. In the Ioniq 5, I say “hey Siri, play ” or “directions to J&C’s house” and it just works.

[@MrLwhiteford]

Almost a week being an owner. Love it

[@martalli]

Instant torque is great on my Bolt and Model Y, too. My Subaru Outback's accelerator pedal feels more like a suggestion pedal than a speed chooser.

[@garrydenny5405]

Nice rundown!

[@stiglinneberg751]

Thanks for one of the best EV-reviews so far! Being a Norwegian I've seen and tested a lot of Ev's. In Norway total sales of new cars, Ev's exceeded 90% Personally I'm still on a hold, driving my Crv 2015. . I'm hard bargain when it comes to cars and particulary Ev's, but now you have convinced me to test the new Ionic 5👍

[@JohnSmith-uz3dt]

It’s just fun to drive!

[@minlou4639]

I love that you can move the center drink holders back for more leg room. That’s game changer design.

[@Motowndonna8]

Great summary! You hit my top 4. And I appreciate the details on the regenerative paddles because after owning the EV for 5 months I guess I didn’t get to that chapter in the manual. ….oh my pet peeve is that it has the turning radius of a big school bus. 😂

[@Molishious]

1. Styling inside and out 2. Horsepower 3. Has bells and whistle I want. 4. Enough knobs and buttons 5. Has good paint colors. Planning on purchasing 2025 for NACS and hopefully a rear wiper.

[@Yanquetino]

All good points that I can pretty much confirm! As for your reason 3, I'd just as soon have minimum and maximum (i-Pedal) regen settings, and I wish the latter would remain set after I turn the car off and then start it again. Now I'm curious to know your 5 negative reasons (likely not having a rear window wiper is one of them, but the digital rear view mirror in my Limited eliminates that complaint). I will admit that one important feature it lacks is a dedicated, one-button engaged DOG mode. Using the "utility" mode works, but… is difficult and cumbersome.

[@estebannator2012]

Simply agree

[@MrBucko1990]

1. Charging speed and curve 2. Price to feature ratio vs competition at the time. Since upside down due to price cuts elsewhere and spec downgrades by Hyundai 3. Styling and less of these on the road generally makes it stand out. 4. Had the classic Ioniq 28kWh for 4.5 years before and loved it 5. Boot, interior and trunk space as had a baby on the way at the time to buying 6. It was well received by reviewers across the board. When Bjorn Nyland was also one of these I was sold (he was the reason I picked 28kwh Ioniq in 2018 also).

[@talltree71]

Soft ride and fun

[@lanceareadbhar]

It's a blast to drive, looks good in the parking lot, and there are pretty good deals out there for those considering one. Just make sure you do your research on what affects range for EVs and I would very recommend installing an EVSE at your property to charge overnight at home as that to me is the greatest benefit of owning an EV.

[@fluxgear]

Nice hoodie ;)

[@jameshammonsden]

We have a ‘22 I-5 and I agree with most of favorable points made here, but I'll give you one negative that has determined for us this is our last - shitty service and customer support. A well designed vehicle isn't worth it if you can't get decent service.

[@freddiefamble4774]

Thank for all of the videos on your channel. I just took possession of my 2023 Ioniq5 Limited and I love it! I'm driving back from Florida (where I purchased it) to Texas. Quick question... I'm thinking about setting the SOC percent to 85 while driving the distance then set it back to 80 percent when I get home. Am I gonna ruin anything by doing this? Thoughts?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

I don't believe you can set it in 5% increments. Nope, you can set it to whatever you want and need.

[@ChuckvdL]

Firstly it’s hard to argue with your top 5, and I feel they apply equally well to sister and brother vehicles as well (style preferences obviously differ, but we get such a great variety of styles between the I5, I6, EV6, & GV60 instead of the same egg shape just resized. What I’d add, 6) V2L powers my critical stuff during power outages, or powers blenders or an oven when tailgating or power tools anywhere I can take the car. 7) wired CarPlay is solid and doesn’t cook your phone like most Qi chargers do. 8) love having physical discrete controls for climate, and other frequently used controls. Far less distracting than taking my attention from the road to use a touchscreen while driving

[@ChuckvdL]

There’s one additional regen trick you missed. _Max regen_ Holding down the Left paddle engages _Max_ regen mode for however long you hold the paddle, then returns to whatever level it was set to after you release. That mode is equivalent to full I-pedal regen, effectively _level4_ regen. It’s useful if you are not in I-pedal and want a quick burst of maximum regen without having to hit the brake pedal.

[@SethKrieger]

The Head Up Display, Ventilated Seats, and V2L are my personal killer features. (Limited trim).

[@MrBucko1990]

Here in Europe you can get it with a 58kWh pack which has a peak charging capacity of 176kw. Has the same 10-80% time as the larger pack with higher charge speed. This speed and more importantly the charge curve is why I bought the smaller battery and saved five thousand. I only need to road trip a few times a year so not worth the extra money. This was a huge factor in my purchase decision.

[@jamesphillips2961]

I test drove this a couple of weeks ago, really liked it, especially the regen paddles; it is like downshifting. But I have a question about efficiency vs a Tesla M3. The I5 AWD outweighs the M3 LR by about 500 lbs, and it doesn't seem to be much smaller at all. I know the M3 uses 18" wheels, the SEL 19" . But what else counts for that big weight difference?

[@christianwolski5057]

Very good matching review and very nice orange hoodie, were can I buy it! Thanks Christian

[@christianwolski5057]

[@fluxgear]

[@KiaHyundaiEVPlatform]

Great video. I'm interested in the auto lock/ unlock. Do you have a video of the horn noise in Ev6? It is the reason behind my hesitation

[@TheIoniqGuy]

It's the full horn. You don't have to use the auto-unlock setting that does this though. The device was designed for auto-locking and the auto-unlock is just an added benefit.

[@KiaHyundaiEVPlatform]

@@TheIoniqGuy Thank you so much. I hope one day there's a solution that doesn't have a horn noise. I live in a safe place and garage kept car. Prefer the convenience of lock / unlock without horn noise Thanks again for your candid comments. You rock

[@waynec96]

so any ETA on when we can start using Tesla Super chargers, guess Fords are now allowed to use them

[@Dirk_Taggesell]

I just borrowed one for the weekend (for fun and evaluation) and even after only driving it home, I think about whether I can justify to myself not to have this car. It's quite a porker though :)

[@tigreho253]

congratulations. Ioniq 5 has received a facelift. An 84kw battery is installed, and a rear wiper has finally been added. There have been minor changes other than the digital room mirror, but the basic price remains the same.

[@robertnoel6414]

#6 for me is the V2L

[@danielmalatesta5139]

What about that white interior? Does it stain? Jeans etc? And the winter snow to maintain it clean? Im worried abiut that color or else im gonna go dark interior but it doesn't come in digital teal green...

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Depending on your jeans, it’ll show a bit of dye transfer on the lower seat cushion bolster but it washes right off. I personally hate dark interiors. In my experience, blue jeans are a non issue

[@mateharris]

Also part of reason 3 for me is the ability to use the left paddle as a brake to slow down the car beyond the level of regen selected.

[@CRVgarage]

I didn't get it. Can you pls elaborate on how to use it to brake??

[@mateharris]

@@CRVgarage The left paddle increases regenerative braking from 0 (off), 1, 2, 3, and 4 (one pedal driving). The right paddle decreases regenerative braking. Regardless of regenerative braking level, if you pull and hold the left paddle (not just clicking it), the car will brake and come to a complete stop. This is different from one pedal driving. In town, I like regenerative braking level 2 plus I will brake the car by pulling and holding the left paddle at stop signs and intersections. I generally prefer the friction brakes for going around corners.

[@CRVgarage]

@@mateharris thanks so much for the info.

[@allenbaylus3378]

Corbin - the EA experience in FL has really pushed me away from buying right now. I do not have a local charging station - although Tesla did just open one in Jan around 10 miles from me. Glad that they took the 7500 back off- any idea when they will be able to use the Tesla Superchargers?

[@fleecystheking]

An EV is a good buy when you charge it at home. Local fast charging stations are useless when you charge at home.

[@ChuckvdL]

For the most part my advice is don’t buy an EV if you can’t charge where you park. That might be at work, at a park and ride, or at a home or apartment. If your daily miles are under 30-40 a standard 110v circuit may suffice. You REALLY don’t want to depend on DC fast charging for day to day use in most cases, mostly because of the higher cost. The exception might be if you can combine charging and grocery shopping and don’t mind paying about 3x your home electricity rate.

[@StorytellerSueW]

Looks, comfort, the smoothness of the drive, interior, and yeah, that GO factor. I live 12 miles out in the country from my dinky small town on what is mostly a two-lane highway. And hilly, so there are only two stretches where one can pass legally (and no shoulders on the rest of it as it cuts through those hills). Speed is 60 mph. Locals usually drive 65-70, because, Texas. If I am behind Grampy McGrampster driving 48 mph? BOOM. Pop it in sport mode and I am back to average driving speed. My real only dislike (I'll save up for next week): the nicking from road dirt and gravel on the silver-tone plastic bumper and trim areas. Mine is only 8 months old, but that is gonna look like hell in another year.

[@MrSmokemeat]

On a road trip can you pick a charger that's less than 30%

[@TheIoniqGuy]

I’m not sure what it will do if you drive past one that it tells you to stop and charge at at 30%. It might reroute to one further down the road but I don’t know

[@tomrossman9371]

First in?

[@Molishious]

Corbin, I’d like to challenge you to see who can get a 2025 earlier. I’ll probably lose because I’ll want to wait for my state’s incentive but it always runs out and then takes a while to get restarted the next year. So by the time the 2025 comes out it this year, it will be gone. But I challenge you none the less. 😊

[@leolamph.d.6397]

#6 should be build quality. The Ioniq 5 is much better built than a Tesla Model Y. Panel gaps are tight, nothing is sharp, material choices are great.

[@terrymattingly6843]

Alas, I have NEVER - once - charge at over 180 or so. Most EAs stuck at 50 or so. I love my I5, but we can never road trip in it.

[@CRVgarage]

Thats what is stopping me from pulling the trigger. I'm unsure & not confident in taking this on a road trip. Around the city & near by towns its unbeatable. I think we should rent a gas car for long journeys.
