This is the ShortCircuit car video that has me convinced you’re doing it right. Alex, your coverage is like a breath of fresh air. I really appreciate your dedication to showing hvac and media controls. Love Andy’s perspectives too, really good back and forth you had there. I was super impressed with how you’ve described, demonstrated, and explained the suspension issue…well done. Finally, I think what made this video click for me was how well you contrasted it with the ev6 and model y. You’re starting to have this library of car experiences you can point people to as they consider their options. Love this concept, love your execution, please keep this up!

As a BC IONIQ 5 owner, I've been waiting for this for a while! I think you guys did great job covering the car, only thing I noted that you sort-of got wrong is that you can reorganize the apps on the screen, so the ones you use most can be moved closer to the steering column. Otherwise, everything else was pretty spot on. Absolutely do not regret getting this thing, feeling pretty satisfied with that pre-order I placed back in July.

It has also held up perfectly in the 6 years I've had it, and the design did too. Love it! Sad to see that they went the touch route on this one, the climate control dials and buttons on the Tucson are G R E A T. I'll never stop mentioning it lol. They clearly they know how to do UX right, so... Ugh The steering is the same thing on the Tucson though. It feels very light and at the same time weirdly heavy, after long trips my arms are tired!

Just a slight addendum about the non-Tesla high-kilowatt level 3 charger availability situation: it might currently suck in BC, but at least in the eastern US, it's apparently fairly decent and continuing to improve. Robert Dunn and Alec Watson (of YT channels Aging Wheels and Technology Connections, respectively) literally just did a collab within the past couple of weeks to drive a 1200-mile road trip from Alec's home base in the Chicagoland area to somewhere in Florida in Alec's new Ioniq 5, using Electrify America's network: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4fQkHSJopetnNU TL;DR: depending where you are in North America and where you need to go, it is indeed possible to not have (many) issues finding non-Tesla high-kilowatt level 3 charging stations.

[@namAehT]

IMO Elon really needs to put his money where his mouth is and open up the Tesla Superchargers to CCS charging. He's all about the electric future, he should be willing to play nice with other manufacturers. And I say this as a Tesla owner. I love my car warts and all, but Tesla is far too closed-source for my liking.

Just came from that video! Robert and Alec have been making awesome content and Robert has the best sense of humour.

[@GuusKlaas]

@@namAehT In Europe every Tesla has been CCS for quite a while now, and in return, the superchargers have been as well. They recently opened them up here (NL) for other brands as well (which works great on even my ancient 63KW charging Ioniq). In return, shopping a new car (ordered an Ioniq 5), I was pleasantly surprised to see that Tesla also includes non-Tesla "superchargers" (like Fastned, Ionity, Shell Recharge, and so on) in their trip planning list. It's truely both ways here. In part due to regulation mandating Tesla to use CCS. Compared to the Ioniq they are slow chargers though (capping at "only" 170kW -- you can charge a non-tesla faster at a tesla charger than a tesla now)

[@FerralVideo]

Alec notes in his video that Tesla has/will open up standard charging on their Superchargers. It's already been five minutes since I watched it though, and don't remember if that includes HVDC, but at least now Tesla chargers are an option for non-Tesla cars.

The main things the Limited has over the SEL is: - Heads up display - Sound system (from reviews I heard its not that great or sounds the same) - Ventilated Seats (the main one I care about) - V2L in the rear seats - Memory Seats (Driver is memory but passenger is manual in SEL) - Sunroof - Can move Center Console forward and back - Park Assist - 20 inch wheels Main things I'd want are the HUD and ventilated seats which I wish were an option but other than that the SEL is the best choice. Just got the I5 SEL in Shooting Star and my wife and I love it. Hope this helps!

Amazing, right down to the colour scheme and the wheels that's exactly my wife's car. Luckily we got the higher trim. The tested one looks wierd. As owners, we can say that in everyday use this thing is absolutely great. Quiet, , comfy, roomy, fast, enough range, very quick to charge. The only issue I have with it is the colour scheme. All black paint, 20 millimeters lower, a wider stance and the 20 inch rims would make it awesome. My wife loves it that way though.

Thanks for the review! I picked up a mid tier (SEL) I5 in March. My first electric, and I had some reservations, but I find it's easy to do anything I was doing with my ICE car with this one. I do agree that the 'sound system' needs some work. Ugh. And I do miss seat memory. But I don't miss filling my tank with high octane fuel every week. The big difference between this and any Tesla down here in the states is that Tesla no longer qualifies for a federal tax rebate ($7,500 USD). That brings the price of the I5 down quite a bit. The rebate will stay in place until Hyundai sells 200,000 EVs, or when Congress finds out we're pocketing money they could have spent on their mistresses.

[@TheJensss]

Great video Alex, and I love that LTT has started with EV reviews. However, i'm a big tech and car nerd, so I would have loved to se a much more detailed review of the car, that other reviewers often forget. Since I live in Norway where it is cold, which models have a heat pump? How does the prewarming before charging work? What is the maintenance and service cost? What is the expected lifetime of the battery? How long are the warranty and battery warranty? How is the anti rust treatment? How is the pricing and availability for parts? And the last and most important question, is it possible to repair and maintain the Ioniq 5 yourself? Right to repair is important on cars too! This is because cars get used, cars break, cars gets old and all cars need regular care and maintenance.

[@richie_k]

Hello to beautiful Norway from Austria! Having compared a lot of EV options over the last years, I learnt that some of the things you are mentioning can be very different in local markets due to different trims and price targets. So even I really second your thoughts, this is probably making it hard to fit in a review with international viewers - especially impacting the elephant in the room here which is the heat pump that might be omitted with EVs in warmer markets for cost savings. Heck, even when I compared some Hyundai/Kia specs of trims sold in either Germany or Austria, there were differences even though everyone would expect them to be essentially the same market. And with this video I was kinda shocked that even the second to highest Canada trim of the Ioiniq 5 does not seem have the front lightbar as standard, opposing to the Austrian spec where only the lowest trim doesn't have it. It's crazy how different the essentially same car can be in another part of the world.

[@AditMahesh]

Problem with Hyundai and Kia charging is, as of now, there are issues with thermal management (thermal throttling and, more commonly, “cold-gating”) which greatly decreases kW at fast chargers. Got to hand it to Tesla there (and Polestar and Lucid, maybe a few others) with their preconditioning before fast chargers. It’s fantastic on my Y, and fully automatic with the built in trip planner.

[@WilsonCalvert]

European models got preconditioning via an update a few months ago, and all '23 models in US and Canada will have it, so they are making the change. Only AWD models in the US came with the heat pump and we are hoping that they enable preconditioning for us as well :/ They did just enable widescreen Android Auto via update a week ago, so they are trying to support us early adopters.

[@AditMahesh]

@@WilsonCalvert good to hear. Curious how well the software will be optimized. Also saw comments from owners (including someone who lives nearby) about throttling after multiple fast charges (ie long distance). Don’t have personal experience with Ioniq but curious why that’s the case as well.

[@WilsonCalvert]

@@AditMahesh US owners are getting two years of free 30 minute charging at Electrify America stations, and honestly, they have been hit or miss on charging rates for me. The same station some days I'll get 150 kW (the station limit) and some days I get 60-80 with the same external temps. Basically, it is probably more of an EA issue since I read that they are dealing with a lack of replacement parts.

[@AditMahesh]

@@WilsonCalvert could be. EA in Ohio is a hit or miss according to friends with EVs. Still planning on getting the CCS adapter when Tesla releases it for “backup.” EA is a bit more expensive than Supercharging though, especially in the Midwest. Supercharging here is quite cheap. Need to keep that in mind as well. Also heard EA has some charging losses between the bay and the car, but that I’m less sure about.

“I think there’s only a three grand price difference between this and the Model Y.” I can only assume that this video was filmed a while ago, since the current starting price for a Model Y is $63,000 while the starting MSRP for an Ioniq 5 is $44,000 and tops out at $55,000 (without including any tax credits).

[@neutronpcxt372]

Personally, I think the Ioniq 5 is good enough as an electrical car to be a slightly lower performance alternative to the Tesla Model Y if the latter is not available(or prices are actually somewhat controlled on Hyundai's side). Hopefully this'll make Tesla and especially other manufacturers to actually step up their game. Moreso Tesla than the others honestly since they seem to have, through their intense manufacturing investment, actual delivery capacity internationally.e

@@neutronpcxt372 Range is the big one but give hyundai et al a year or two and tesla will have to lower their prices back down to compete. The reason I ordered the ioniq5 is that it's more of a useable family vehicle AND there is a dealer in my town for parts and service. Tesla has very little presence outside of major cities.

[@ChevySpeedAddict]

Not sure if this is the cause of the trunk moisture issue, but many vehicles have little rubber grommets behind the taillights where the wiring and whatnot gets fed into the body of the car to prevent water intrusion. Sometimes, these grommets either fall out from vibration and harsh bumps, or degrade over time (which shouldn't be the case with a brand new car).

This video came just at the right time! I'm currently shopping around for a new car and potentially my first electric one. I like the Niro for how cheap it is for the quality, the Sportage hybrid and of course, the Ioniq. Just wondering if the latter is worth the big price increase of the other 2.

[@danomitepoop]

BEVs are great, assuming you can charge at home, you'll never know how dumb going to a gas station seems until you experience it. Take you max normal daily driving distance and multiply by 1.6 and choose a vehicle with equal to or more range than that for no charging daily trips and healthy battery practices. Niro is not purpose built EV, I don't think highly of those. Personally not interested in Hybrid (more complex, more to break and maintain) Demand is high, so are prices. I recommend watching Sandy Munro for quality assessment. My choices for currently available entry level BEV: 1 Tesla Model 3/Y 2 Kia EV6 3 Mach E 4 Ioniq 5 5 VW ID4

[@coughfee_beans]

@@danomitepoop Interesting. I just refuse to buy a Tesla until they make good cars, no matter how good their batteries are. Anyways, as you've said, I do plan to charge at home and therefore only use a station charger in case of emergency but I'm usually quite the nerd when it comes to tech and making sure everything is at 100% all the time just incase so I really don't need Tesla's superior charging network. One car that intrigues me quite a bit is the Subaru Solterra but that one is only supposed to release this summer so my interest is only based on very little info. After looking at all the available EVs, I'm just not sure about any of them. I find them all lacking in some way. The Sportage is closer to what I'm looking for but yes, it's only a hybrid. The Solterra might be the one but I won't know for a while.

[@danomitepoop]

@@danomitepoop I just don't want to drive a QC nightmare like a Tesla and I find them to have a bad interior and boring exterior. The Solterra looks much better and potentially for much less. But so far since I'll only be leasing for 3-4 years, out of the cars already out released, I'm most interested by the Tucson Hybrid. I also can't wait to see what the PHEV Sportage will be like. A good Tucson competitor. The only EV I really like besides the Solterra is the E-Tron but that's a little out of my budget.

Then I saw it: "I O N I Q 5" I had to do a double-take. Hyundai? With a genuinely nice looking car? Am I dreaming?

[@GoldenSun5631]

I have a Hyundai Kona 2022. Great all rounder of a car in my opinion. Hyundai has been really on top of their car game in recent years for sure. Didn't get an electric model because first, there wasn't any in stock or even in back order availability (and even then due to chip shortage it took almost 4 months for my car shipment to arrive) and two - there are virtually no public charging points in my country (even though the gov is promising deployment of places) so I can basically only charge at home which is a non starter for me.

[@KoRbA2310]

02:20 I'd say it's just condensation, car spent some of time not being used when previously being kept in humid environment (somebody left window slightly open on the lot or similar) as most of the cars have vents in the back all that water tend to accumulate in the trunk.

I find the rear seat review interesting, especially the head clearance (usually a problem for me), but it appears the front seat wasn't pushed back before attempting to sit in the back. As a somewhat tall guy that needs more leg room up front, I always test the back seat of new cars after adjusting the front seat to my needs, in order to get a more accurate reflection of what my passengers would be put through if I was driving.

[@lucassatie]

I test back seat comfort in a similar way. I'll have a family member get in, who's known for needing the driving seat fairly far back, and then I'll get in the rear seat. I like going to consumer car shows and the rear seat test is the very first thing I do when checking out a new car. My two biggest gripes about backseat comfort typically have to do with cars that don't give enough heel room (forcing your legs farther forward), and those cars that have the hard plastics on the backs of the front seats. It's amazing to me how many cars get it wrong. I've been in some rather small cars that managed to do backseat comfort really well, and then in some higher end luxury cars that just botched it terribly.

[@spoutingfiction]

The rear seats on the ioniq 5 not only recline but shift forwards and backwards. So the leg room May not be a problem even with the front seat pushed back :)

Got an Ioniq 5 in early February. Fantastic vehicle. My only real complaint is that you have to manually change the charging current settings when changing it from charging at home and charging at a public charger. If I don’t change it before I plug it in at home it puts my charger into short circuit mode and won’t charge the car

[@RuralFisherman]

We got lucky to purchase a Ioniq 5 when walking in to test drive one. We were initially told that they did not even have a model for us to look at, but the couple buying the one they had on the lot ended up having financing issues so we were able to snag up theirs without hitting the wait list. Initial thoughts after a month of ownership. Audio took A LOT of tweaking to make it passable, and it is still leaves a lot to be desired. We have done 2 separate 900 mile road trips with ours, charging in the Southern USA is 1 million .5 times better than it was up in the Northern USA. 350 KW Electrify America chargers are really well placed along just about any route we have mapped out (Thanks VW) and charging as advertised is super freaking fast. That said, sometimes even at the 350kw stations you only get 100 or so, so be prepared to be hanging out for longer than anticipated. Overall, we chose the Ioniq over the Model Y to get away from the Elon of it all, and are super happy with our choice 1 month in.

I cannot see myself ever wanting a car bad enough to pay the local 15K markup for the car. I really want to swap over to EV and make this my first EV, but the mark up is absurd.
