Why Hyundai IONIQ 5 Over Tesla Model Y

In this video I share some unique features on the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and explain what it does better than the Tesla Model Y. A lot of these are minor details but these are things you would not see until you actually own the car.

[@RobertHamilton59]

Thanks for the review. Just so you know, Chapman's bathrooms are also amazing. You are 100% right on the Tesla charging network and the app. But one minor error. You said the Tesla batteries charge faster. Nope. A "Supercharger" might have been "super" back in the day but not anymore. The Ioniq 5 can charge at 800V using an Electrify America 350kW charger - way more powerful than a "supercharger". Wait until they build out the entire Electrify network. And wait and wait.. but some day.

[@Superman-xr1oh]

Electrify America's network stinks though.

[@eventwonder8285]

I think he was being sarcastic here lol 👏

[@fredrikfjeld1575]

What really bothered me the hours I drove the Ioniq 5, and I knew would really bother me if I ever owned one, was that you can adjust the regen, but it cannot remember the 1-pedal driving mode. Everything else, sure, but you have to activate that every time. I did love that it had just flippers on each side to adjust it though, but like most of the things I liked on the Ioniq 5, they just missed the mark with things like that. The ventilated seats worked really, really great. Only tested in cold climates though, so might be why they were so insanely effective (below freezing outside). Again, they missed the mark though. They have a big physical button for heated and ventilated seats, called "warmer". So you have to press the physical button, at the bottom of all the buttons, then move your hand and attention up to the screen. Now, if you do not want the heater or the ventilation in the seats to be at max, you have to press down (for cold) or up (for warm) and then move your hands and attention again. This time you have to press the opposite of what you just pressed. So to get to medium heating you press a physical button, move your hand up like 40 cm, or 1 1/3 feet up the screen and press up. Then you move your hand again, down a couple of inches to press down. WHY? Why have buttons at all if you still have to use the screen? The wired Android Auto/Apple CarPlay also bothered me. It connects with a cable to the USB at the bottom, near your right leg. I will definetivly hook it while driving. It also kind of defeats the point of the open space in front of the center console. Now, I find that you HAVE to use Android Auto or Apple CarPlay in the car if you want to navigate or use media. The map was worse than useless. How does a car manufacturer make a map function in a new car that is worse than a 2010 BMW or Audi? Zoom out and you do not see the small roads, which makes it impossible to navigate. Zoom in and you have to know the roads very well to know where you are. And then it takes forever to drag around. Also, while dragging around, not being centered on the car, the map will just randomly change orientation, because it thinks that the car, that stands still, changed direction. Super, super confusing. Going into media controls also takes one physical button and then you have to chose which source on the screen. Like, the car has one button for navigation and for for map. They are the same thing! Why, oh why, can't it have one of them be for sources and the other for radio? Everything took so many god damn button presses in the car. The only thing that was more accessible was driving mode and climate controls (except heated and ventilated seats, which is done extremly poorly). Driving mode is nice, but I hardly ever change the climate controls in a car. I only change it if someone else has adjusted it. And from what I have heard, Tesla remembers how you prefer the air to blow and such. So, I don't really need buttons for it. Another thing that bothered me with the Ioniq 5, is that the Head Up Display was way worse than in the ID4. I could see the HUD, but barely, with my sunglasses in the ID4, but not at all with in the Ioniq 5. WHich would have been okay if I could see my speed in the screen in front of the wheel. Which I can't. I have to move my whole body or adjust the steering wheel into a very unconfortable position. I have never been in a car where my speed has been that blocked before. Much, much easier in the Model Y. Never a problem. Asians, on average, don't have the height of western people. That might be the reason. I have seen others that have sold their cars for the same reasons. Neither the Model Y or the Ioniq 5 was washers for their head lights. HOWEVER, the Ioniq 5s headlights are level with the front, and not on the top. You could not see the headlights at all because of dirt when I drove the car. Salt, slush, mud and snow, that is during smelting weather and such in Norway, will make this a car that doesn't do that well for night driving. Did not have that problem when I tested the Model Y. Other deciding factors for why I didn't go for the Ioniq 5, is that you do not know if they will give the OTA updates they say they will. The cargo space is much, much less than in the Model Y. Even with moving the seats, it was still smaller. Then you are missing the well beneath the trunk and the frunk as well. The Ioniq 5 does not pre-heat the batteries at the moment if you go to a supercharger. Not a deal breaker, and they say they will make it happen at some point. That, however, requires the use of their map. As I have said, I have never, ever, had to use such a piece of garbage. The car CANNOT plan a long trip with charging either. With 80% battery, it told me to get to the nearest charger, when I plotted in a longer trip on the navigation. It didn't show me the rest of the route and just had me find a charger. Useless. Cannot be used for anything at all. Compare that to the Model Y and the ID4. The Ioniq 5 also costs the same as the Model Y here in Norway, if you want the same trim. Service costs more and Tesla gives better loan deals. So cost of ownership is a lot more for the Hyundai. Oh yeah, the range is better in the Model Y as well. Real life range, before the bigger batteries for the 2022 model, is around 52 miles. Now, with the larger battery that is shipped now, we are probably talking a real life range that is 70 miles better than the Ioniq 5. There are things to love with the car though. The front seats have leg support! How neat is that! Probably does wonders on longer trips. The huge open space feels nice, though it mostly makes the car feel like a VW Transporter, or another kind of van. It also removes a lot of storage in front (now, most cars do not have the huge amount of space the Model Y has). The sun roof shader is nicely done and is something that would have been nice in the Model Y. The back seats are probably the best designed ones in almost any car. Being able to move them forwards and recline like is so useful and comfortable for passengers. So if you are a passenger, then the Ioniq 5 would probably win out. Ventilated seats are also nice, but not something I have to have. Especially since I can pre-cool the cabin. The ventilated seats would save energy though. The full power outlet, that lets you use household appliances is just a nice touch. That is probably the feature I would have wanted most for the Model Y. The ride is also a bit smoother in the Ioniq 5, but not as smooth as in the ID4. So it it somewhere between. Now. I have only test driven the Ioniq 5 for a couple of hours and the Model Y for around 12 hours. Before testing them, I thought I would go for the Ioniq 5. It just didn't live up to my expectations the same way the Model Y did. So many small, daily frustrations that I wouldn't like at all, as well as it just having a lot less cargo space. It does look a lot better than the Model Y as well, which is probably why I thought it would be the car I would choose. Many of the things I hate with the car, doesn't bother others at all. There are however "many" people that have sold their cars, or ended up not buying it because they can't see the speed when driving. Recommend everyone to test the car before deciding.

Wow! You wrote an essay and have only so far just 1 like. Good job! Here’s a like from me too 👍

[@francoisluneau]

Thanks for those insights. Very pertinent.

[@zeethree]

Trying to decide between ID4 Pro S and Ioniq Limited. It's about $5-6K more for the Ioniq in the US. I'm leaning toward ID4, but I have not driven any of these cars. What would you recommend? Model Y is over $60K here and out of my price range with no tax rebate.

[@fredrikfjeld1575]

@@zeethree Not sure what is standard for The ID4 Pro S, so my thoughts might not be totally accurate. When it comes to storage, they are about the same, but the Ioniq 5s trunk has a bit less height near the back (because of a stronger slope) This might be a problem when it comes to dog cages and such. The Ioniq 5 can however move the backseats forward (Why don't more cars have this feature?), which makes it so you can fit more in the back if you want to. The frunk is so small in the Ioniq 5 that it can only hold your charging cable, and nothing more. The ID4 has no space there at all. The seats in the Ioniq 5 are better. You get ventilated seats and leg support. The open space makes it so you can stretch out your right leg from time to time. If you regularly have five people in the car, being able to move the center console forward is also a huge pluss. You can adjust the regen on the Ioniq 5, while the ID4 only has with or without regen. However, the Ioniq 5 does not remember 1-pedal driving and it has to be activated every time you start driving. You also have to manually start the Ioniq 5 with a button (I think, but I might be wrong) while the ID4 has a start button, but you do not have to use it. The ID4 rides more smoothly. You do not feel the road as much and it isn't nearly as stiff as the Ioniq 5. I also found the ID4 to be more quiet. The Ioniq 5 is however much sportier. It feels like a smaller car than what it actually is and has a faster 0-60 (100). The front lights on the ID4 are placed much better when it comes to grime from the road. Neither of the car have washers for their headlights, but the lights on the Ioniq 5 are placed much worse when it comes to dirt. The head up display in the ID4 was much clearer and brighter than the Ioniq 5. Which means there is a higher probability you can see it with sunglasses. The screen in front of you is also much better placed in the ID4. Granted, it isn't as pretty, but you can see your speed much clearer. It also shows you navigation info, if I remember correctly. I do however know that the Ioniq 5 does not show navigation in the screen, only in the HUD. The ID4 has wireless android auto and carplay, instead of cabled. The navigation worked really well, and it showed the nearest rest stops on your route, in case you want to stop to eat or get a snack. Loved that feature. It also planned charging, which the Ioniq 5 did not. The Ioniq 5 charges a lot faster though, and if it gets the update to pre-heat the batteries, then it will "out-charge" most other EVs. That does not help if you have to use that god-awful map though. I seriously do not know how they can ship that with a car. It is impressively bad. The ID4 also has short-cuts to regulate your heated seats. Use two fingers on the climate controls to tap the different setting. Instead of using both buttons and screen to get to where you want to. Navigating media is also better in the ID4. The Ioniq 5 just requires to many button and screen presses for every little thing. So now it all comes down to what you prefer. The ID4 is more of a standard family car and it feels like any VW product. It drives and acts like a ICE car and the largest draw back is that it lacks one pedal driving (in my opinion). The Ioniq 5 looks better, has better seats, but have menues that feel outdated and maps that are totally useless. CarPlay requires a cable which removes any benefit of the open space the car gives. Do note that on the Skoda Enyaq, some people have complained that android auto stopped working on longer trips. Might be because the phone gets hot while charging. Have that in mind for the ID4 as well, since they use the same system. So it all comes down to what you prefer. Personally, I liked the ID4 better. If only for the navigation and the fact that I didn't have to push 2-5 buttons more for every single thing I wanted to do on the screen. If I was going to be a passenger, then I think the Ioniq 5 would win. For longer commutes it is probably a draw. Better seats vs better ride comfort and less noise.

For the remote control, you have to lock the car first. You can control the parking assistant from outside with the remote also.

It's not just forward or back either. You can parallel park and park into a parking lot spot with it, but you have to activate it, from the inside.

Love the video. Some things to point out, there's is a V2L 120v outlet underneath the rear seats on the limited trim. Also Hyundai does have a digit key card option if you want to unlock and start your vehicle with a credit card size key or your Android phone, soon on iOS devices as well. Great video . Well done!

[@robp3431]

I finally test-drove my first EV two weeks ago, a model Y. Super-impressed ! Easier to navigate the screen than I expected and a ton of space (as a tall driver) On the negative, there was more road noise (smooth city streets), but I could get used to it. The killer was the back-sweat. It was a mild afternoon afternoon in FL (not hot by FL standards), and after only 20 minutes of driving, I was feeling wet. The car itself was cool from the start, but the seats don't seem to breath.

[@alex98053]

The Ioniq 5's cooled/ventilated seats would have been a great feature to have. Also, the panoramic sunroof in the Ioniq has sun shade to physically block out 100% of the sunlight coming from above..

Will you be reviewing the Kia EV6. I have seen it and thing you might like it more then Ioniq. Can you make review with both ?

[@espencapable]

I had an Ioniq 5 for a weekend. I felt it was cheaper all over. The throttle and steering response was numb. A lot of beeping sounds for everything. Navigation was sluggish. I own a Model Y and look at that as an SUV with emphasis on sport and I like that. Ioniq 5 reminds me of other Kia/Hyundai cars. Bland and simple. A car for older people.

[@gforce2002]

The only thing I can think that would be s showstopper for me, being in a wintry climate, is the lack of a rear window washer/wiper. It’s hard to imagine that Hyundai won’t add that in a model year or two. Also, can I just say that your channel has become one of the best EV related ones on KZbin? Fun, but balanced and reasonable with a variety of content. I’ve unfollowed a bunch of channels that were basically all-Tesla, all the time. That becomes boring after a while.

[@kennordsfan1494]

Yes the cult of Tesla gets annoying fast lol. I find there is zero impartiality when trying to talk about Tesla’s good or bad. I find you can’t get a impartial view on Tesla’s just because it’s a Tesla. I do like what Tesla has done to move the EV world but the it isn’t a Tesla gets boring fast. I enjoy Geebs videos as he presents the cars he reviews with impartiality which is refreshing.

There is no rear wiper in the 2023 model but there is a digital rear view mirror with a camera under the spoiler (option in Sweden). Don't know how well it solves the problem though. I won't find out until january 2023 when I take delivery.

[@4SeaDoc]

I have a Tesla 3 Performance which I love, but needed a 2nd car, and I was deciding between a Y and the Ioniq 5 Limited - I found the speed of charging faster from 15-90% faster at Electrify America than at the Tesla SuperCharger. Thanks for the magnet on the dash, never knew that. Auto cool feature... Love the ventilated seats... I love the display and heads up display and looks great with the black / light screen. Also, the bi-directional energy access is in the Limited version below the 2nd back seat. I really love the Ioniq 5 Limited over the Y... But still love my 3!!! The Hyundai key app works great too!!! Nice job!

[@Superman-xr1oh]

Now they just need to build out a better charging infrastructure. Also, I've heard the battery preconditioning isn't great on the Ioniq 5.

[@RemoteSpeed007]

With the Y, you can do almost everything with voice commands, how does the I5 do with voice commands? Does I5 also have a sentry mode?

[@KineticEV]

It would be interesting to see your take on the Kia EV6 vs. the Ioniq 5 and they compare to the Model. I went for the Model Y that I take delivery of in June but the Ioniq 5, EV6 and the Nissan Ariya were on my short list. Another thing that appeals to me is all three of the ones I mentioned but excluding Tesla still qualify for the current US EV tax credit. In a day and time where Tesla is continuing to increase their prices these three might be good alternatives. We still have to see how the Ariya stacks up once they release produce them and release them for review. Either way it's god to see some additional and affordable varieties starting to hit the roads here in the US.

[@MrVeeBlog]

Thanks Gjeebs. I am doing a test drive today. I'm hoping they will allow me to hang onto it over the weekend. Yeah, I can dream. lol.

I've used it perhaps 3x in almost a year. It's a pity you can't use it while charging. Then it could really save you some time making a coffee etc during the wait. Now, I had to wait for the charging to finish and only then make the coffee whereas I really want to leave when it's done charging.

The charging network is improving quickly and 10~80% charge in 18 minutes is the fastest in the non-Supercharger network.

As per typical online reviews, this Ioniq 5 is a top model trim. The SE trim long range battery is the bargain EV to buy. I did. Cloth heated seats, all safety features, voice control for many items, same ultra fast charging rate, etc.AND as a RWD model, the most efficient closely matching the Y’s 280 range from full to minus 10 miles, dead battery.

omg I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that hates the sound of the door closing on the Model Y.... makes it feel so cheap.

[@littleherms3285]

The IONIC 5 reminds me of the Turbo Omni GLH I had years ago. Or Volkswagen Golf in the same '80s period, you know, the best period...lol.

Please add your comments on the lack of a rear wiper.

Selling my I5 to replace it with MY. Cargo space is too small for us. Can slide bench forward, but that limits passenger space too much. Will miss the Regen shifters, but could get the S3XY Buttons instead.

[@Abebe345]

You're getting a model Y for tech, AP, performance, range, room. Many other choices ICE and non for sure.

[@TryingSO]

Im really am thinking trading in my 2022 model 3 LR 4K miles for a Ioniq 5 (either SEL or Limited)

[@idellameyer7411]

Everything about Tesla is crazy! The battery life, the tail lights, the interior etc. Tesla stocks is the best of them all! I have always hoped to invest in Tesla stocks one day but the thought of doing so without enough knowledge of the stocks market makes the whole thing less attractive to me. One cannot afford to lose any money in this pandemic era

[@gaileickhoff116]

@Jooste Constance Rebecca True! I made this mistake some years back. I was sure I had learnt the DIY ropes, invested all by myself and lost thousands of dollars. It was the saddest year for my journey to FI but after much persuasion from a relative, I decided to give stocks a try again. This time, with the help of an investment broker I came across in a cnbc interview. Made $245,000 in profit within few months of investing and recovered my losses

Look into index funds like the SNP500, safe and reliable growth. But if investing large sums of money, to be safe always consult a professional and plan out your financial goals

[@lucidf8]

Nice video! Funny! Chipotle ha! Scottsdale Lambo owners! Production value all over the place! Keep it going! Some day I may actually take delivery of a Model Y. When I finally get one, will I feel that I should sell it for an immediate profit and then buy an Ioniq 5 and pocket the difference? Hmmm.

[@MrQwerty3000]

can't think why Id want to adjust regen so often I 'd need the controls on the stetting wheel paddles - are other people adjusting like crazy?

[@littleherms3285]

This would be VERY nice to have in a hilly city like I live in. That was a major + for me.

[@sydjaguar]

Gjeebs is good, hidden features special

[@alex98053]

One small detail but one I really appreciate is how the Ioniq 5's DOOR HANDLES automatically pop out when you approach the vehicle. I believe you have to go through the press and pull on the Tesla if I'm not mistaken. It's the small details in the Ioniq that add up and make it such an appealing package for me..

[@Superman-xr1oh]

I believe there's an aftermarket kit available for the Tesla that makes the door handles pop out when you approach the vehicle.

[@p3rrypm]

Ioniq 5 is top 2 for charging on the market, I highly doubt that the Tesla with a DC charger is faster than the Ioniq 5.

[@suavemasky]

You're correct, just that it's difficult to find fast charging point for ioniq 5, so you're stuck to chargers that charges tesla faster

[@shawnmitchell4605]

Cool video

[@gerilc]

"In Elon We Trust" ... too funny. TBH, if this had been available when I had to purchase my next car, I probably would have chosen this over my Tesla Model Y.

[@Chrisb8s]

Great review. Are you going to do the opposite ? Why model Y over Hyundai? I would say that one of my favorite features is the hepa filter in the Y. And my tow hitch(does the ioniq have one?) and well its my work long haul ride so the supercharger network for Tesla . I looked at this for a second ev but its too pricey. And we don't need all that in a second car. You should check out the mini es. People hate the range but I have. Even driving an ev for 6 years now and I know that in town mg wife and I rarely go 80 miles in a day. And if we do, we usually come back home. (And can charge it ho again) So we have a MIni on order. Its fun. Its freaking cheap and it's basically a BMW

[@MikeWeida]

Using a better route planner either in Android auto or Apple carplay is a better experience than the Tesla navigation adding a $20 Bluetooth dongle. It routes you to the high speed chargers and you can add preferences for specific networks or charging speeds I have only been to two electrify America stations that do not have 800 volt charging.

[@joinandy]

Any chance you would test the i4 edrive40?

[@Gjeebs]

Of I could get one I would

[@philsalley3278]

I assume that if you leave out long distance driving, that Ionic 5 would be your 1st choice since it seems way better everywhere else.

[@jackrabbitjohansen]

lets see a charge contest

[@sludog]

Do you have a Tesla wall charger for your Model Y? Wondering if I could use my Tesla wall charger and charge this car or another brand EV. With an adapter of course.

[@Gjeebs]

I just have a NEMA 14-50 plug that I use so I can plug anything into it

[@TreeHugger826]

Yes you can. There is an adapter on Amazon costing around $50 that lets you connect them very easily.

[@zeethree]

Are they ever going to make the limited edition available in RWD? The AWD is just a bit too much at $55-$58K. No rear wiper is also a problem for me.

[@ands1983]

I own a RWD Tesla and it is not great in the winter time. It works fine, but the skidding when hitting the pedal just a little harder is annoying. Why is the rear wiper important? Never needed it in my car..

[@justwatchingrandomly]

Limited RWDs are coming, around April and they’re likely all sold out. Just like Tesla production, they come in batches.. but with Hyundai, they came from a ship.

[@justwatchingrandomly]

@Ryan Nguyen $60k price is an illusion. Model Y OTD now would be around $70k. At least with these new evs, they are also eligible for $7.5k tax credit

[@qrlee6762]

I would choose Ioniq 5 because it is more practical. I want to have an option to go to Ikea or Costco and load items for everyday living. I just subscribed because I like your sense of humor.

[@Gjeebs]

What is more practical about the ionic 5? Just curious

[@qrlee6762]

@@Gjeebs 1. Ioniq 5 has a traditional dashboard so I do not have to take my eyes off the road. 2. Ioniq 5 is made by a traditional carmaker. 3. I can either charge at home or use DC combo charging stations established by governments 4. Loading items at stores without worrying about my image (there is a certain image to driving a Tesla EV) 5. If Tesla broke down I would not know where to get it fixed since there are no dealerships I am going to assume no Tesla dedicated auto shops. Hyundai has a warranty (100,000 miles/10 years) 6. Tesla relies too much on software and is too futuristic without "infrastructures" to support it. 7. The CEO of Tesla is doing too many projects and I do not know if the company can sustain itself 5 or 10 years later. The list can go on but I think the referenced reasons are reason enough for me to say Ioniq 5 is more practical.

[@LukeKwan78]

Bruh, I had to stop what I was doing while driving and hit the light button just because you talked about your chipotle incident that’s funny as shit dude

How could you do this to us and put the performance stripe on the LR! STI wing was forgivable but you also put the badge on the WRX :(

Love the content tho :)

[@steinareliassen385]

The charge network part is not an issue in Europe, and Tesla is opening their network so this car is just as much a long distace car as Model Y here, and I am pretty sure the network will be rather amazing in the US very quickly... :O

[@joris-zuphert]

Main reason for me to go for the ioniq5 is that it simply looks stunning compared to the dull tesla bubbles.

[@artfeingold3856]

Does the Ioniq have good voice commands?

[@Gjeebs]

No I tried them

[@Ozzie4Para]

Tesla should be the clear choice just for the fact that they are the king of the hill in terms of nationwide charging network. No one and I mean no one can compete with that. Not now or not anytime in the near future.

[@AZCONA]

I really don't care much about the network so much I care about who gets a better range between 2020 range model y or this

[@Gjeebs]

Tesla gets better range

[@zerokool-2058]

The Tesla charging network is great and that's why I'm leaning towards it. But waiting to see what Toyota brings at the end of 2022.
