Why I Won't Be Buying an Ioniq5N - TheSmokingTire

[@connormckay9429]

The fact that a Hyundai is so close to a Porsche in its given category it's absolutely insane and very commendable. I've personally had bad experiences with the brand prior, but the dedication they are showing into making practical, fun and dynamic cars absolutely is worthy of being commended.

[@heyhayhay247]

It will still always be a Hyundai. That's not as embarrassing as it use to be 10 or 15 years ago, but it just carries zero weight in the curb/brand appeal department. No one is going to be excited to see one of these on the street for the first time.

[@diydrivenGA]

Agreed. Hyundai needs to ditch the franchise dealership model for their EVs. Every make that isn't Telsa has hurt and part of that pain was due to recalls (which is expected to a degree) and dealership follow through. Easy fix would be to hire corporate master techs for EVs, pay them well, and assign them regionally to cover a handful of dealerships. Dealerships will have a designated area for EV repairs as well as any other tooling required so the tech just shows up with a few of their own specialized tools.

So the Macan is obviously better built and more comfortable. It follows more the luxury car ethos. Quiet and smooth running. Thats where a luxury EV works. But it sounds like the Ionic 5N simply does sport better. This is the first EV to actually properly involve the drivers multiple senses-acceleration, braking, handling, sound, and gear changes both up and down. This is what you want in a sports car. Will the EV Boxster/Cayman live up to this Ionic 5N. For the enthusiast driver, these are the characteristics that will get an "ice only" driver to possibly take the plunge to an EV.

You have to be careful critiquing the adjustability of the system, lest Hyundai simply remove the ability to adjust most settings. I understand you are critical of the confusing interface due to the unintuitive menu structure (as most reviews have stated), but it's important to clarify that you also appreciate what the adjustability adds to the car. It might make more sense to offer a "standard" drive mode menu for most people and quick selection, with a number of factory preset modes on one screen. Then an option for "advanced settings" which lets you tweak all the individual components, such as fake engine sound profile, steering, suspension, regen, etc.--while also improving that advanced menu to make navigating to the individual settings to be more direct and intuitive.

Good video. I like what Kia/Hyundai is doing with their EV's. I would have bought an Ioniq 5, if I weren't turned off by Kia/Hyundai quality. Having owned two, I swore off the brand. Until they prove things won't fall apart after a year or two, I will continue to avoid them.

Perhaps Hyundai should produce tutorial videos to help customers navigate the complex menu structure. If I were a customer that would be a resource that I would draw upon

I'm waiting for the next version of this, but I really want one

I think it's great that they give you all those different options/settings. But it would probably be a good idea, if they devided them into sections. A simple one, with a couple of presets. And the advanced/pro version, with all the options.

Matt, I’m curious if you and Hannah are considering any other current or upcoming EVs.

Cripes...the number of people who go straight to the "sex doll" analogy when mentioning the fake engine noises. People, you're telling on yourself. For me, the fact that literally everyone who has driven this vehicle and posted a video about it, loves the fake engine noises makes me think...hmmm, maybe I should listen to them in person before dismissing the electronic trickery here.

They're atrocious. BMW got it right with futuristic sounds.
