I’ve got one. 2 track days and 2nd in class in the Great Western Sprint in a completely showroom car and I love it. Gentle, quiet EV on the road as a daily. Fun geared and engined car on the road when I want to play. MONSTER on the track. What’s not to like - Oh and my tyres still look like new after 2k miles.

You forgot to mention as part of that performance ICE simulation they also added exhaust splutter which you hear from the rear speakers- so authentic! I test drove the Ionic 5 N at Everything Electric Farnborough this year (2024) and really astonishing the level of engagement they’ve achieved. I currently drive a RWD GV60 but if the shortly to be released Genesis incarnation is anywhere as good I could be saving up for a Genesis GV60 Magma.

You touch on an important point. Often in reviews it is just assumed that a car, any car, is suitable for anyone. But this thing is a weapon and just like a literal weapon, it takes time and training and maturity to learn to handle it. I can say I really use the accelerative and cornering performance of my 5N on a daily basis* and I love it, but it is very well judged where I do it, where I let of etc and I never put others in danger. I don't have 'moments' or 'near misses' with others. I've been working up myself the driving skill ranks for 30 years, yet anyone with a drivers' licence could pick this up, in a few years for 'normal' new car money. That is quite scary, and not just for this car, but for most cars, in all times. Cliche, but with great power comes great responsibility.... * also underestimated a lot, no need to warm the engine for 10-15min before being able to have a go, literally gold on a daily basis and such a relief

A great absolutely down to earth review. The difference of buying a super car to a family car. The power is far too much for most people and the extra power would pretty much stay unused. If you are a racer going on track days this would be an amazing car to play with! On the other hand it still gives the complete petrolheads the old sounds and jerks made by the car will be ideal to get them driving an EV.

Hyundai and their sister cars are able to be stolen in seconds, and they are just refusing to even acknowledge the issue. This car would need even better security as it would be top of the list for a joy ride or bank job! (I own a regular Ioniq 5, which now has a tracker and steering wheel lock!)🙁.

I agree, a press car is always going to have poor recorded efficiency on GOM. Drive it efficiently for a month, and the GOM will recalculate to give better average efficiency.
