[@AndrewBergN]

"similar" costs seems a little wrong (MSRP): Ioniq 5 middle trim SEL RWD @ 300 miles is $45K... Mach-e Middle Trim Premium RWD @ 300 miles is $55K.... OR the CA Route1 RWD one at $53K... They really aren't in the same range for most.. $8-10K difference.

[@priddle3392]

Main problem I have with Hyundai Ioniq 5 is the limited distribution plan Hyundai has. They only offer their EV's is a handful of states so the Ioniq 5 is not widely available since you cannot purchase in most states. Otherwise I would give it a serious look.

They have no fucking batteries to sell cars, you need to build plants to manufacture batteries or have some serious suppliers that would rather supply you instead of some other company. but ya only temporary for 3 years until they get that going

Sorry to hear that. I was lucky to be in one of the states that has it. You could work out a deal for MSRP via email if you are up for the drive. You can get then to send you the contract with the manager's signature to ensure that there won't be any surprises when you get there. I love it for what it is, but it's definitely not perfect either.

Excellent review, job well done. You made me a follower.

Canadian manufacturer charging spec for the Ioniq 5 is for 350kW charging capability. I’m hoping that’s the case, just ordered one :) Like the channel bud, good stuff. And we actually have a 350kW network across Canada (some areas 250, but not complaining).

My husband got a polestar and I have an Ioniq on order. I wouldn’t say the polestar experience was stellar since the polestar went thru the associated Volvo dealer process. They “accidentally” tacked on $800 in fee for some paint protection.

When do you plan to release the ioniq 5 range test?

[@denault3985]

The Ionic 5 is larger than I thought, saw one yesterday and it's as big as the Mach-E which is huge.

[@fasttl]

Hard to say when you see it standing alone it does look like a smaller car. When I see it next to the Mach e in next to the Tesla model three I’m surprised again at how large the ionic five is. The shape of it reminds me of an 80s hatchback and I guess that’s why I think compact car when I see it but it’s actually a pretty decent size.

[@lautoka63]

We've had the IONIQ 5 here in New Zealand for about 4 months and have driven about 7,000 km. I still love it; the software can do odd things occassionally, but the updates have fixed most problems. The manual is like an encyclopaedia( one written by one someone paid by the word), but Hyundai US has some useful videos on KZbin.

[@omelvold]

The Mach-E is not an option if you need a roof rack. In Norway, all Mach-E's are actually retrofitted with a load thru system from the importer. Unfortunately, that doesn't help much for a family of four that want to bring skis, snowboards etc.

[@prerunnerwannabe]

Kyle, Thanks for the reviews of the vehicles! Looks like you are also here in Colorado. I have a quick question, you've raved about the Ioniq 5 and how great it is on road trips... How does it do up in the mountains? Have you taken your Iconiq up to Estes Park or any similar mountain drives? I would love to hear what that does to the range.

[@COSolar6419]

Actually mountain driving doesn’t seem to impact range as much as speed does. With regenerative braking going on I’ve averaged about 4 miles/kWh when driving 60 mph on Colorado mountain roads.

I drove a Mach E, and I thought the one pedal driving experience was horrible. It does a weird thing near the end, and then the brakes grab. You should drive a Chevy bolt in low, If you want to experience how smooth one pedal driving can be, especially when coming to a complete stop. Silky smooth. Ford has some learning to do

Ioniq 5 drives the best!

[@be236]

Why does it look like Ioniq 5 steering wheel is almost touching Kyle's knees (eg, tight sitting position compared to Mustang)?

[@bingoboyz1113]

Some things not mentioned: Ford navigation helps route you to chargers. Ford has wireless CarPlay/AndroidAuto which is awesome once you have it. Ford has a rear wiper. Ford has charging in front which is subjective as to personal preference. I feel it’s more natural to pull in to charge as opposed to backing in. Ford has the digital keypad which is another great feature if using phone as a key because you could still get in the vehicle and drive if you don’t or can’t use your phone. You also can valet park with the Ford without carrying the key. Hyundai has a more polished experience in some ways as I’ve owned ICE and hybrid Hyundais as well as a Ford Fusion Plug-in and a Chevy Volt. I wish the Ford had ventilated seats and a thigh extender so it may come down to seat comfort for me but I really want the Mach E because it just feels/looks more substantial.

Narrower tires on Mach E degrades starting on ice and curve handling. I’ve already seen your video on Ionic 5 charging and it did not meet the 18 minute, 10 to 80% in colder weather. I’ll have to watch the Mach E charging video. Hopefully, done in similar weather conditions. I don’t consider these a SUV. More of a crossover style. I would refer to these as Mini-SUV category. The prices are way to high to get from point A to point B as compared to ICE offerings at this time. Maybe free charging for 3 years will attract some people who travel a lot. Thanks for video.

[@davidwestlund8954]

My local dealer called me to say that they had a Ionic 5 in and I came and looked at it and it was the lowest trim level. I was tempted to buy it but then they said it was going to cost me an extra $5,000 dealer profit. So they wanted to give me to pay an extra $5,000 for the lowest model instead of waiting to get a better car with that $5,000 and when that higher trim model came in they would still charge me an extra $5,000! So I literally went across the street to the Ford dealer and put in my order for a Ford Mach E which I think is going to be a much better looking car and actually a better car! For Toyota's hybrids many dealers will charge an extra two to $5,000 for what they call an appearance package that amounts to a wax job!

I absolutely agree that the route planning and battery management software HAS to be rock solid. From watching road-tripping reviewers both in the U.S. and Europe, it appears many cars' software isn't. On his road trips Kyle will usually comment on any problems he encounters with route planning and range estimating/reporting programs and that's helpful, but I don't know anyone who actually evaluates this functionality in any consistent, apples-to-apples method across manufacturers. I don't know how you would do that except by driving a specific long road trip with every car you test. Not practical to do that, so the ad hoc, subjective comments by reviewers are what we have.

Mach-E is wireless, Hyundai is wired

[@twospirits411]

Hyundai has a habit of making the top level trim Infotainment system wired only, yet the lower trims are wireless in all their models. It drives me nuts.

[@cashmoneybling9699]

@@twospirits411 Agreed. Very strange... I wish they at least would leave room for it to be somehow be added later.

Actually, I clicked on the video because you guys are fun. I am not in the market for a car.

[@idonotcarenow]

I’m late to the party here, but I find the Mach-E to be a superior vehicle. I thought the ride quality is better, it’s more spacious, 2 car seats fit in the back and a 3rd adult fits comfortably, the Ioniq 5 doesn’t accomplish that. The Mach-E also gets above EPA at around 328 miles per charge. I find the Mach-E to be the better Road Trip car as it offers way more storage and space, which are both more important in my humble opinion then the 30 min EA charging session, also I don’t think EA has 350Kwh stations everywhere, I know they are installing them, but are they everywhere yet? Because if they are still the old 150kwh stations like EVgo and ChargePoint then the faster charging of the Ioniq 5 is not utilized rendering it useless. To each their own, I honestly prefer the Mach-E because Interior space (width) was the most important to fit the 2 car seats and an adult comfortable, storage space was second, range 3rd, and looks 4th, which I think Mach-E bests the Ioniq in.

[@jamoss55]

I would have considered the Ioniq 5, but I live in one of the many states where it is not available. I also don't appreciate some of the dealers with their mark-ups on the Mach-e. In the end, I opted for the Model Y. It should be arriving sometime in the next month.

[@emmcey]

Model Y is nice but you don’t get the $7500 tax rebate.

[@jamoss55]

@@emmcey So, I could pay 5-10K more for the Mach-e and get $7500 back which is about what I am paying for a Model Y. Think I'll take the Tesla.

[@jntx9575]

I was going to buy the Ioniq but the $5K market adjustment made it too much more expensive than the Mach_E which was being sold at MSRP.

[@CindyGillett]

Good choice

[@matthewliuliu666]

I rather spend $20k more on ionic 5, it is a much better car

[@rdk3996]

Not sure why, but you always fail to mention I-Pace, out since 2019 model year.

[@dionaeaqi07]

Aftermarket larger IQ5 frunk from Europe?

[@gaprofitt]

I'm in the south, do I skip the AWD and get the RWD with more range?

[@emmcey]

Yes, I would.

[@b.c.6542]

Yup, that’s my thought. Unfortunately RWD on Limited is insanely hard to find.

[@centauri0]

The IONIQ 5 and Kia EV6 are NOT SUV's. The seating position is way to low and it has cramped headroom, they should just be called sedans. Ev tech changes so fast they will have to constantly update cars every few years just to keep up since both are already superior to the Mach E.

[@beautyofgrace3915]

Ioniq5 is what I like but since they're not coming to North Carolina until later, I'm considering ev6.

[@RemoteSpeed007]

Kyle, you praise high charge rates, honestly only something that can be judged in years to come, there is no new battery tech at this time, so manufacturers are using what is available in the market (Tesla is an exception to a point) therefore we can only presume the higher charging cars are doing it a loss for longevity of the battery. Batteries are to be charged at a fixed voltage and a variable current, normally determined by the manufacturer.

[@aaronalter2000]

How's the rear visibility in the Ioniq5?

[@IVH-BE]

as you are driving it's great.. backing into a long driveway and a garage at the end, like I have is a bit more difficult, but there are multiple view options on the multiple camera's that help a lot.. , where the rear view camera on my previous VW Passat GTE were tricky and unreliable, the ones on the Ioniq 5 are doing an excellent job. I find myself relying on them more and more. They show reality and the projected lines are correct. Also the 'view from above the car' is growing on me fast.

[@aaronalter2000]

@@IVH-BE Even though technology can be of great assistance in viewing the rear of the car, it wouldn't be as necessary if the car manufacturers would have clear visibility out of the rear window, in my opinion.

[@IVH-BE]

@@aaronalter2000 correct ! though we all want a car to be good looking, and the cute Ioniq has a big (C) pillar (I think it is) in the back, that is the only part blocking my view as I have to turn backwards into my driveway. other than that, the rear view is OK... Not having a rear view window wiper here in rainy Belgium is a bigger issue in my opinion. I have an extra coating on the rear window, but it's no substitute for a wiper ! (other thought... we all like tinted windows, but they don't help visibility either when backing into my (dark) driveway)

[@lanceareadbhar]

The tiny frunk comes in the I5 RWD as well, unfortunately. It was done to get around the additional safety measures they would have been forced to add if a doll the size or a three year old could fit in it. God bless America.
