NEW Hyundai Ioniq 5 review - ALL changes in detail | What Car?

[@martiangod]

Had my ioniq 5 n line s a few weeks now in matte white and absolutely love it, best car ive had by a country mile. Just some pointers, you can drop the rear seats from the boot via a button if you didn't test the cheapest model. Also the boot is quite a bit bigger than the ev6 and you can slide the rear seats forward to make the boot enormous and still have rear leg room, you also store the rear load cover behind the seats. You made several other false statements but not going on with an essay. Cars should be reviewed by people who have used them in a daily life capacity for at least a few weeks

[@stevewhitmill2037]

Also should state that this price is still far too expensive for a car. A used Skoda estate will cost you way less than half this price

[@MrRuv10]

Absolutely agree with the last statement.

[@dstev55]

@@stevewhitmill2037 but will not be anywhere near as well equipped, will be more unreliable and will probably cost you £1000+ more a year to run (not including purchase price and dependent on mileage). Silly statement really.

[@thewelshwarrior4634]

@@stevewhitmill2037 You can also pick up a used Ioniq 5 (2021version) up for about £19-21K depending on the trim so it's not really a fair comparison to compare new vs second hand.

how opinions can differ, lol. Test drove several Teslas, have 24 Ioniq 5 and the interior of the Ioniq 5 feels tons better than the Teslas' ones, looks much more premium as well. I doubt the '25 is so much different but fair enough, personal pref maybe

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

Well original model Y has poor build quality. But the recent models are built much better. All non fremont US models are built extremely well. Only place the Ioniq 5 feels cheaper is the center console which doesn't move with ease or solidity.

If you are going to claim that DC chargers with >50kW power are "rare" and then show that charging with a 50kw charger takes an hour, it would be worthwhile to quantify what "rare" means. There are ~6,500 DC chargers in the UK with >150kw of power, and they are increasing in number very quickly. In the next 6 months I expect this to exceed 8,500*, which is the number of petrol stations in the UK. Are petrol stations also rare? *Number of150kw+ chargers in UK: 2024 YTD: ~6,500 2023: 3,850 2022: 1,750 2021: 1,000

@@ronrubble I don’t think they are that rare anymore either. I use rapid chargers when I drive from the North West to London and back and there plenty of 350kw Gridserve and 150kw Apple Green chargers. They are not cheap, but since I do about 80% of my charging at home on an overnight EV tariff, I can live with the prices.

Am I the only person who quite likes the sound of the motor spooling up when you accelerate? Silence just makes me feel detached from what's actually happening.

[@DarkDepth1001]

No you are not alone, it all depends on your childhood memories, when i was a kid i watched hotwheels acceleracer and they have this team which is consisted of electric cars called silencerz and they managed to make it cool, since then i always think that electric cars are cooler than ice, the emotion that ice lovers are so proud is all just in your head, otherwise people would still be riding horses because those give more emotion and fun and thrills than even the most fun ICE cars

[@GreatSpot8608]

I actually find zero noise is quite dangerous as with out sound it's very easy to go very fast without noticing on a wide road. And all these EVs can go fast quickly. It's not rare to be approaching a corner or junction a little thand you realised you was going. ​@@GreatSpot8608

A great review as always. Very thorough and informative. Given that electric cars will shortly succumb to the "luxury vehicle tax at £40,000" the Advance makes the most sense (if it was in my price range). Why pay an extra £400 vehicle tax annually (??) for a few extras? I will wait until depreciation takes its toll. 😆

Totally. When I first saw one I thought "what a bloater". It's much bigger than you think. Just over £22K for a used two year old long range are on the market now with low mileage. Gotta buy these things on a lease, not a cash purchase.

[@drmexicoii]

But then it wouldn't be so roomy inside. I've ordered one after test driving loads and discounting loads because they were too cramped inside. There are very few EVs where a 6ft person can sit behind another 6ft person comfortably. Either leg room or head room is a problem. Or both.

[@Effortlessful]

The BIGGEST issue with these new Kias and Hyundais is the problem with the steering wheel you mentioned. We have an EV6 as well and the problem comes down to the single large screen they use for both the gauge cluster and the infotainment being too far forward. It would work much better using traditional methods with an inlaid gauge cluster and separate infotainment. Again, this is pretty much my only gripe with the car at this point.

[@belizarius_997]

Have they finally resolved coolant problems? Or at least lower the extortionate service price?

I don't get why they don't make the infotainment screen adjustable instead of in a fixed position. The possibility to move it up or down by a couple of centremetres would make all the difference with the flexibility.

[@hughjanus7354]

The reason why these cars have to be so expensive is because previous generations were expensive. And as most cars are bought on finance if they lowered their prices to something more realistic that would destroy their balance sheets because old cars would automatically devalue way beyond the GFV's and they'd have to write all that down. It's happening "unofficially" already with EV's getting massively discounted and used cars being fraction of the price, but the official line has to stay on the lalaland level for the lie to stick for as long as possible. The only hope for consumers is in other cheap manufacturers entering the market - which is why EU is putting all the tariffs in place.

[@Krosamos]

My problem with the display in my 2023 Ioniq 5 is not that the top of the steering wheel is blocking any sight. It is the center of the steering wheel that blocks the lower part of the display. This will then be worse in the 2025 model. Where the sight is blocked depends on how you position your seat, how you position the steering wheel and on your length (I am a tall guy at 206 cm). I think the better solution that Hyundai could have done was to give us the ability to individually change where the different display widgets are positioned. In my case I would like to have most of the information widgets at the top of the display as it is that part I have a clear sight of.

I can't believe Hyundai didn't upgrade their interior to premier quality like the Chinese EV. If prices are close, the Xpeng G6, Zeekr X and Byd sealion 7 are much higher quality in its interior. Buyers have a wider range to choose now...

[@aravindradhakrishna8660]

How did you put the links your comment? But yes I agree with what you have said.

[@deekayjee_original]

@@aravindradhakrishna8660it’s a new KZbin feature, it does it automatically!

[@timothyi6492]

Sadly none of them are available in the UK yet. What I really hate is the bodged on camera mirror screens.

[@KTPurdy]

The 2025 rear end is less flashy. I don't like it.

[@lechprotean]

I'm seriously considering renting this one or something similar that's not too expensive. It's a competent car, but not exactly cheap and unlikely to hold its value over time especially as Chinese competitors offer betters specs already

[@bodrulm1]

For a family car, rear seats are important. Shame the reviewer doesn't call out that the floor is too high/seats low meaning no thigh support. This is uncomfortable for long journeys and makes this an impractical car. My BMW iX3 has amazing back seats compared to most EVs.

[@daviddawson9099]

Looked great till you mentioned the price. Just does not make sense for a low mileage driver.

[@lifespyjackson6292]

So the same as every other ev?????

[@FéargalO]

If by same you mean different then yes.

[@Pipsicle330]

MG and Hyundai have fitted rear wipers after criticism. Toyota on the other hand have removed them from new Prius and CHR 👎👎👎

[@DMulabiTalejan]

Niiice but you missed the XRT in your intro please. Accept my biase because it is the one i want for my off-roading/upcountry needs

[@drmexicoii]

Don't think this is available in the UK, hence why not mentioned.

[@CosyP]

XRT is only available in USA where presumably it is also being made in one of their factories there.

[@Auto2car]

Are you satisfied with this model, does it meet all your needs for a pleasant driving experience???

[@savannah65]

They didn't want to have a rear wiper because it would affect drag. Now that the rear wiper will be on all models, the drag is slightly higher, and range is slightly reduced. I guess that they originally felt that range was the most important thing.

[@ashb8572]

It's just another reminder why to avoid buying 1st gen tech on wheels and how fast things move along with newer better EVs

[@arda_]

Why is your pick of the bunch the one with the smaller 400V battery? 800V 84kWh battery with its crazy charging speed is incredibly rare in this price range and a steal at that price point.

[@maximilianw4354]

Yeah, that recommendation makes zero sense. The 800v bigger battery version makes this a properly viable long distance motorway car.

[@d33m42]

Youve kinda misunderstood how this works. Both batteries sit in the same 800v system architecture. Neither actually accept that high a voltage in reality. The only difference is in capacity gross 84kwh vs 63kwh, usable will be lower…anyway the point is at higher power input the higher voltage acceptance means that the current required to push the electricity into the vehicle is reduced and therefore less heat generation which is better for battery life in the long term. A 400v system can also charge a car fast but will f the battery up quicker because a higher current is required for a faster charge

[@garyclack3807]

You British get a lot more cool EV then we do in the States…..All we have is the UAW TO SLOW THINGS DOWN

[@gathonar]

Nice video, quirky car but this car is not for me.
