Happy Weds guys! Incase you're wondering, our full review on the 2023 Ioniq 6 will be posting on 4/3 at midnight EST! Until then, we wanted to refresh your mind on the excellent Ioniq 5 with this updated review! Amazing how this car still turns heads even after a full year on the market!

Looking forward to that review. The design seems polarizing but it looks very sleek from certain angles.

I can't believe they still haven't added a rear windshield wiper. Do they not have dirt or snow at all in S. Korea?

Great video review! I was browsing our EV dataset at Predicta and couldn't believe how much customers LOVE the Ioniq 5. We measure sentiment for dimensions of the car on a 0.0 to a 1.0 scale. ALL of the dimensions for the Ioniq 5 measured above 0.9 on the average sentiment scale. Wow! I've never seen that for any of the other EVs we track! It's nice to see great video reviews, but it's also nice to know that actual customers are loving the Ioniq!

[@patrick7228]

I never even considered an electric vehicle until this one came out. Now I'm thinking about getting this.

[@michaellippmann4474]

Nice re - review! We LOVE our 22 Ioniq5 AWD Ultimate...0 complanits. It hits all the marks for my wife and I. We put on over 1000km per week and road trip a lot. So the fast charging is very nice! We came from a Kona EV which we put 48,000km on in 10 months of owning it. 0 problems with the Kona, so very happy with the quality of the Hyundai products and our dealer has been really good to deal with. No regrets. Oh and the head rests do go forward and back, 3 different positions. Great video - Thank you Mike

[@Honmeg]

The iONIQ 5 is probably my favorite EV, and im really glad they added battery preconditioning for 2023 models!

[@thomaskief1752]

Love your content, I generally watch every episode. I was wondering if you could do a brief night visual to show the ambient lighting on all reviews. A lot of people (like me) are very interested in how the vehicular lighting is during the night and daytime. Again, thank you for your detailed content.

[@TalismanPHX]

Such a retro 80s looking EV. Love it!

[@vartsi83]

You dont need to go the menus for the heated seats. The warmer text on there is also a shortcut (button) to heated seats and aircon👍

[@bredtoplease]

Great overview. Thank you!

[@alienationism]

Thank you for the good and informative review. Though I've been missing in all the reviews of IONIQ 5 that there is a lot you can do with the voice commands like setting inner temperature, turning the seat heating and cooling, steering heating, etc. This is what I tried during a test drive and it works perfectly. Give it a try.😊

[@TomTomdog]

Does it come with back camera instead of wipers?

[@damandeepdhillon4592]

Good reviews and great content. I was wondering if you can add details about real world range in regards o EVs.

[@matthewchase8181]

If you press the “warmer” hard button where the climate controls are it brings you directly to the screen on the infotainment system for the steering wheel & seat warmers, etc. This makes it where you don’t have to fumble around the options on the touch screen to find them. 😉

The ECO mode in the 2023 requires a software update as there is an issue with ECO being so slow, you can really notice this with a 2022 model that has not had the software update.

[@Yanquetino]

You could swap the front and rear headrests for a less forward angle in front.

[@DSRQ1]

Yes, retro-modern, not "futuristic" as I heard one reviewer describe it. Reminds me of the 80s-90s era VW Golf. Not sure if that is because of the German designers Hyundai group has poached, but a very handsome design. Fine review, still my favorite EV.

[@darknessislight3689]

It reminds me of three cars from the past Chevy Spectrum/Isuzu I-Mark 3dr and later on the Hyundai Excel 3dr ( similar silhouette)

[@atweber]

My Ioniq 5 here is Israel has rear heated seats and an ottoman chair for the passenger as well. Plus the back seat slides forward and backward with electric control.

If you're only supposed to charge to 80%, what's the range? 160 miles?

[@paean109]

I really like the look of this vehicle.

[@DRayL_]

Quite frankly,...4.5 seconds to 60 is PLENTY fast. I'd have no reason to get the performance version. I'm currently driving a 2014 Honda Civic....so even this will be crazy fast for me.

[@MatthewGaither]

I've tested the long-range single motor (225hp) and it still feels quick and does 60mph in the 6.5 second range and, I suspect, will still be plenty for most people. That's last gen GTI performance out of a big, funky hatchback. I loved it.

[@DRayL_]

@@MatthewGaither True. Even 6.5 seconds to 60 would be a vast improvement over my current car. The only issue I have with the single motor is that it is rear wheel drive, I believe. Now, is the motor for the single motor in the back to give weight? I'm thinking mostly of winter driving.

[@MatthewGaither]

@@DRayL_ yes the single motor is in the rear. I bought the single motor SEL long range today and have driven both the single and dual motor back to back. The steering feels nicer and more natural in the single motor whereas the dual motor is noticeably faster provided you get deep into the throttle. At light throttle in Normal mode I cant tell a difference. Can’t go wrong either way.

[@DRayL_]

@@MatthewGaither Oh wow! That's good to know, because most of the time, people will drive in normal mode. And thank you for the info on where the motor is. I would be good with the rear drive option in that case. Would probably no good enough in the snow. Again, thanks for the input! 🙂

[@dannnnnny]

The exterior is by far one of my favorite designs of the century. But I really think Hyundai could have done a better job of the interior: steering wheel, screens, and A/C controls. I really hope a refresh of the Ioniq maintains the same great exterior but amps the interior styling to match the impressive exterior.

[@truckercowboyed2638]

Higher quality interior means more expensive, no need to have every EV too expensive for average buyers

[@BowlerActuary]

@Redline Reviews, what do you think of the EV6 compared to it? I have owned both an EV6 (presently) and I owned an Ioniq 5.. EV6 feels slightly firmer, but the more aerodynamic EV6 is much more efficient

[@MatthewGaither]

I tested both on the same day and concur. The EV6 is a little firmer and the seats also felt firmer (which I did not like). I did like the more cockpit like design and the lighting in the EV6 though and would happily drive either.

[@COSolar6419]

Voice commands are available for controlling the seat warmers.

[@eugenechan3754]

For the Kia EV6 sound system, you probably meant Meridian, not Harman Kardon.

[@TnTteam09]

umm excuse me . I need to correct you. The sound system in the ev6 is Meridian, and the Harman Kardon Are in the Niro Ev.

[@TheMazTheSpaz]

The slight cons the reviewer mentioned have and are being addressed: 1. Rear windshield wiper coming to future models. 2. Wireless car play coming or already deployed in software update. 3. If you press the warmer button twice, it acts as a shortcut to the seat ventilation system!

[@mr.tuckers2848]

Everything sounded good until you mentioned wired connection to Apple CarPlay. It was a precursor when you started you mention where they cheaped out with plastic dashboard.

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

All Hyundai/Kia/Genesis with bigger screen (10 or 12 inch screen) never come with wireless CarPlay, it’s been about 2 to 3 years since the introduction of wireless CarPlay on their smaller 8 inch screen.

[@mr.tuckers2848]

@@blackwhirlwind1245 they need to put some more engineers working on that effort because it just looks downright silly without a wireless system and everything else looks modern and updated

Sure hope those cool door arm rest/handles don't catch rainwater and damage the LED light when you roll down the window at a drive thru in a thunderstorm

[@ryancraig2795]

Its fast charging capabilities are impressive, and it's a nice car.. Unfortunately you still have to deal with the realities of the public fast charging network. Tesla still has everyone beat in that department.

[@phatgringo2.0]

Public charging in most of USA is a joke.

[@sentryion3106]

That will only change in the future. Besides if you can charge at home/work you rarely need to visit fast charger so it’s pretty much a non issue for the vast majority of people

[@javilink7]

Yet, still charges way faster than a Tesla.

[@What-ei5nz]

The inconsistency kills me. He complains that you have to go through a screen to access the heated seats and steering wheel. But you have to go through a screen to access everything in a Model 3 or Y, even to open the freaking glove box! And I didn't hear that complaint during the Model 3 and Y reviews.

[@Tokamak3.1415]

My friends that own 3/Ys usually use voice commands for some of those operations - like the glovebox is easy to open with voice because "glovebox" isn't confused with any other words. I haven't tried voice commands in the Ioniq. Reminds me of Matt Watson on CarWow being annoying at "Hey Mercedes" every 5 seconds lol.

[@spacepanda420]

I want it so bad 😢

[@tanukibrahma]

I call my 2023 gold Ioniq 5 a “DeLorioniq” because it’s soo Back to the Future looking. Note that a lease does somehow qualify for the $7500 tax credit/loophole.

[@presw2pw123]

Thanks for the review. It helped find a few features I didn't yet know (I just got mine today). I wanted to mention that as of July 2023 it DID get the Federal $7,500 rebate (still manufactured in Korea). I also got $2,500 loyalty and $500 state (plus a mysterious extra $1,000 rebate that was dealer case I think)- a total of $11,500 rebates.

[@deceptor99]

My opinion on no rear wiper. Your in town stuck in slow moving traffic and its raining. Your back windscreen is impossible to see out of. Driving in town at 30mph when its raining you cant see out of the rear windscreen. Its really early in the morning and you are getting ready to drive to work and its snowing how visibility in all these scenarios is zero. In my opinion doing away with the rear wiper is foolish bordering on dangerous.

[@ChazzDDTV]

If only the RWD came with the heat pump like the RWD Ioniq 6

[@steverussell7383]

Is does.

My understanding is that all the trims now come with a battery pre-heater, but only the AWD models have the cabin heat pump.

[@RigiLiquid945]

So far, I would prefer EV6 awd for an EV

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

One the reasons why Mach e is selling so well is because it still has tax credit, most of the competitors don’t have tax credits like Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Subaru, Nissan, I believe ID4 only has half of the tax credit, so only Model Y and mach E have tax credit.
