Trading My Volkswagen ID.4 For A Hyundai IONIQ 5!

[@anthonyc8499]

That's a man so genuinely happy to have his son out with him for a fun day out buying a car. Kyle, you're a good kid and your dad is awesome.

[@wcg66]

Not to get too sappy but cherish these moments, Kyle. My Dad was an engineer and car nut and he would be amazed at the the tech in EVs we have today. Unfortunately, we lost him to cancer in 2006.

[@DouginaBoxster]

Nice video with your Dad. We lost our Dad in 2015 (cancer). I miss him every day for a million reasons, but I often think about how much he would have enjoyed riding in and driving our Mach-E. I think he would have like the IONIQ 5 as well. Don't lose sight of these special times together!

[@JuiceBoxScott]

Love your dad speaking the truth about the level of charger you need being based on your daily driving needs, not the car. It doesn't matter if I own a 50 miles or 500 mile EV, 110v charging will meet my needs.

[@mowcowbell]

I thought the same thing, but for $250 I had a 240v NEMA 14-50 outlet installed in my garage. Even a basic 16amp 240v charger ($200 on Amazon) will charge at 3x the speed of 120v. You never know when you might want a quicker charge in case you need to use the car for longer trips after work.

[@gman9543]

@@mowcowbell Well that and actually use less electricity too (there's a higher conversion rate penalty charging at the lower voltage.)

[@nosoupforyou425]

Have been charging my i-pace inside on a 120 for bout 6 weeks while another vehicle is in shop - 240 awaiting back in the elements - 😆

[@lanceareadbhar]

I'm always surprised that people dismiss it and quote how long it would take to go from 10% to 100%. The solution would be to charge it sooner than 10% and use a fast charger if you are ever in a situation where you are at 10% and need it closer to 90%.

[@360dom360]

I rocked the 110v for over a year. It was totally manageable. Once or twice had to go do a third party charger top up. Getting the 240v turned it from being manageable to being something I dont really think about

Congratulations! Awesome to see such father son relationship.

Every dealer should install these chargers. It will really help.

[@klossfam]

All the local Hyundai dealers in Western NY have 1-2 ChargePoints like this installed. Free to use with the ChargePoint app and you even get a branded Hyundai/ChargePoint NFC card you can tie to your CP account. Basically saves you taking out your phone but convenient. Our selling dealer on our I5 Ltd is 2 miles from our house and in a great area for restaurants and shopping. Their CPs are just 62.5 KW units with one CCS and one Chad plug each.

[@theredmonkey]

Chargers at dealers is a great idea. I figured a great way to save malls is to add a huge number of DC Fast Chargers and improve the food courts.

I’m a Volkswagen guy 100%but I must admit I love the looks of the ionic 5 it really looks like a MK 1 or MK2 Golf if it had a VW badge it would not look out of place I hope Volkswagen would make a EV than looked like a early Golf.

[@Wasabi9111]

I really like the id4. But next to the Ioniq 5 the id4 all in a sudden looks so frumpy.

There was the MK7 e-Golf, but was limited in range due to a small battery (35kWh) and discontinued. It still is a great car and I really love mine (2017 e-Golf SEL)

[@Josh-179]

It's ironic that Ioniq 5 looks more like a traditional VW design and nothing like any Hyundai and VW is going into a totally different design language with their I.D. EV's.

[@keoki777]

@@leonarddejesus6752 Hi I have a e Golf 2015 SEL it was a California car and now it lives in Canada on the Est Coast I’m a European car technician and I had to have one I love it but one thing I wish it had is a heated battery pack I lose so much range when the battery is cold but I try to keep it in a heated garage during the winter months if there was a mode that would just keep the battery at 80% soc and keep the temperature at room temperature when the car is connected to a AC supply I think that just for fun I might build a heated coolant loop underneath the battery with PEX plastic pipes or in floor radiant heating coils this is what they should have From the Factory what I always wonder how the car is able to charge when the pack is under freezing conditions as you know lithium cell are not supposed to be charged under freezing conditions I was never able to find any information on this subject I have look in self studies programs and did not find any answers.

My Dad just bought an Ioniq 5 limited trim. I got to pick it up from the dealer for him about 70 miles away from where we live. Short story… it’s excellent. Comfortable, great power, the tech is very usable and familiar if you have dealt with a recent Hyundai. I have a Model 3 on order and I don’t think the Ioniq will win the sale for a few reasons but it’s an excellent vehicle and will absolutely sell well for Hyundai.. well done.

[@LonnieC916]

Nice to see and hear about a positive dealer experience for a change. You guys are great together too. Nice to see Dad & son's get along so well. Looking forward to the ownership experience update. Especially, regarding the upkeep of that matte paint exterior.

[@phonephixer]

I bought a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon from Gary Rome back in 2002 and it was a great experience. I drove up from Poughkeepsie NY and Gary took the dealer plate off his wife's car (she was coming back from vacation that day) so I could drive my car back home. GREAT DEALERSHIP AND GREAT OWNER!!

[@manuelias86]

I came back to rewatch this video. I was in line to get the LE R1S, but just got priced out and I always liked the Ioniq 5.

[@tomcramer1450]

I did the same thing. I traded in my ID4 RWD Pro S for an Ioniq SEL RWD with digital teal and "dark green" interior. I too loved the ID4 and there was nothing wrong with it but overall I like the ride of the Ioniq better. Having owned both, I would say they are equally efficient (or inefficient) in the cold and at highway speeds. However, I think the Ioniq is better efficiency for city driving. Like your son documented, I haven't gotten advertised charging speeds with a cold battery and that is pretty disappointing. I hope they do updates on it but as you know, I had the ID4 since May and never received any software updates. Good luck with the car. I am happy that there is someone who trades these cars more often than I do. I've had a Ford Focus electric, 2 Volts, 2 Teslas, a Ford C-Max hybrid, numerous Prius hybrids but I think you have me beat.

Same height here. I've only driven the ID4, but I found the dashboard and doors to be a bit high and restricting of good visibility, didn't like that.

By then I hope to see vehicles that not only have 800V+ architectures, but also have next-generation batteries with double the range. -Matt

[@lanceareadbhar]

I normally hold on too, but the used market is stupid right now with EVs that I don't blame anyone for trading up. Obviously, he was paying more for each higher level trim even if he was essentially breaking even on the previous car when you take into account car fees, taxes, and interest.

[@tymanot]

Thanks for the Video Kyle. We tested EV 6 and Ioniq 5 and compared it with our enyaq. And I have to say that the enyaq is the best family car if you do not need to travel long distances often. From these three it is the most comfartable, relaxed driving car with the best space and the best safety features. As a family of 4 neither the EV 6 nor the Ioniq 5 came close to the usability of the Enyaq. Except the charging speed. But again - how often does the average family travel long distances. And even then - do the last minutes really count or are not other aspects more relevant... Good that we have choices. Greetings from Germany.

I personally think the best version of the model year would be the RWD Limited with the battery heating system if that can be optioned in the RWD models. Right now, no RWD cars in the US have the battery heating system which seems like an oversight to think only people in Florida, Texas, and California would buy the RWD model.

Aaron, what dealership? I too would like the RWD Limited in Digital Teal (two tone green interior), but there are none. I'd buy an AWD in a minute if they'd sell it to me for the RWD price. I'm near Albany and you are on LI, right?

[@MegaSn0wb0ardJunkie]

@@tomrossman9371 check their inventory. Centereach Hyundai. The only reason I got the AWD at the RWD price was because they were supposed to get a few in stock in the next couple weeks.

[@amin77illinois]

I drive the 2023 AWD ionic 5 and it is a great car and very quick. But if you drive faster then 75 and more it’ll reduce your range some but you can increase your range just driving around in town or city which is far more range I ran 9 80mph and 90 😁 just enjoying it and it did reduce my range some. But by me keep speeds down it’ll raise back up to more range. So if you drive 70mph and lower it’s perfect but if you drive 73ish and more it’ll get a little less of range see the difference. Like if it says 200 miles you can get that like a gas car but you gotta keep speeds around 70-and lower like 68mph

Yeah a lot of grocery stores have tons of excess parking, especially off to the sides. I am actually looking at buying a plaza right now which has a ton of extra parking, I could probably put in about 50 chargers easily and not touch the existing spots that are there.

That glass roof looks amazing, shame that we can't get it at all in the UK. Come on Hyundai, who is making these idiotic decisions, they need sacking. We may not get the sun that much but we'd like to let the light in.

I would really like to know how your Dad got the deal he did. No reservation, walked in to get a Limited at MSRP without lots of add ons... There is one of a similar spec listed on their website currently, but it has $200 'cargo package' as well as the floor mats, plus it's marked up from the $56,140 on the window sticker to a 'Gary Rome Price' of $61,140. I'd love one of these cars, but I don't have a YT channel to do "not sponsored" videos on to save myself the $5,000 this dealer is loading onto the car compared to the deal your Dad got.

his dad said he knew Gary Rome from high school too.

So, after owning the Ionic 5 for a bit, how does your ownership experience compare to the ID-4? We are trying to decide between the two for our next EV. Thanks.

[@dconner9]

They are both great cars for sure. But there are many things I like more about the Ioniq5. Thinking of shooting a video update this weekend to share my thoughts…

[@kabish5601]

Defiantly an upgrade for sure. Although I don't care for the Ioniq 5 info screen, lack of frunk/storage, and the lack of back window wiper. Far as looks go though, looks damn good. I own the Ford MME, even though their software is still a bit questionable at times, I think I'd still choose the MME over the Hyundai. Although I will admit, that electric roof liner is pretty damn slick!!!

If the V2L adapter is backward compatible it would be great for my E-Niro

[@philipa5568]

good luck with the car. Waiting for them to add the rear wipers before making the plunge. Can not see squat out the back with bad weather. Should have them next year.
