I own a 2023, and I can say that I am very happy with it. I am a long-time Honda fan, and I can tell you that this doesn't drive like an old integra or civic. It does have a lot to offer when you spend a little time with it and learn what it is good at. It handles extremely well, especially if you are applying power through corners. Understeer is completely neutralized in this setting. The steering is quick and precise. If you are approaching a decreasing radius turn, then it feels a little nose heavy in these situations. The transmission is excellent when left in automatic mode in sport plus. It stays in the right gear and makes great sounds. It is pretty quick too. Obviously, an m340 is faster!! I am impressed with the brakes for Back Road blasts. Track work would overheat them. The seats are excellent. Supportive, comfortable, and grippy. Seat ventilation is a great feature. The stereo is clear and has a nice full sound. It might be a little bass heavy with certain music. I personally love the looks. Wide and low never went out of style. It feels like it is more expensive than it is. All the switches have a quality feel. The engine sounds expensive and refined. There is the promise of low running costs, which can't be underestimated. Cars are depreciating assets, and expensive repairs will affect your long-term term financial position. Now, to be fair, we are still talking about an expensive purchase. If we were all and little smarter and a little more practical, we would drive Camrys!

You can still have the sound and/or shifts in sprint mode, just go to N custom 😄

18:00 why does the engine noise sound exactly like how Roblox cars tend to sound

Should I be proud or ashamed that I got the horse reference?

Ugly. But great content :)

Its heavier than a Urus?!😢🤯

effin loved James

Now where is the Ionic 6 N?!!!

I've posted too many comments on this video, but one more: search for "Car Throttle Renault Zoe", first video that comes up. *That's* what's missing from the performance EV market, not another 5000lb lowered crossover with gimmicky videogame tidbits! Light weight, good power, requires the driver to pay attention, sounds great *without* any augmentation and while being true to what it is rather than emulating what it's not.

Ok, that, is impressive!

At 11:52 based on Thomas's phrasing I thought he was going to say "super easy - barely an inconvenience", Ryan George's Pitch Meeting line

They did all this trying to make it seem like a fun awesome ICE engine, when they could have just used a ICE engine! Absolutely pointless. Comparing that to a Urus is also pointless, no one's going to take that over the Lamborghini. 😂🤡

This car has a faster Nürburgring time (only by a few seconds) than the Urus as well. Which means it is overall a faster car. That's wild to think about.

Brilliant review. -And for the first time in the past 25 years, I've FINALLY heard the CORRECT way to pronounce "Hyundai" from a reviewer. THANK you, James!!!! That is EXACTLY how any VP of Hyundai (I was our local Cali company's service "face" to them for their micro-chip division, back then -to pronounce their own company's name.. even when they made crappy cars but good memory chips.) This is a great car... (Kinda expensive, but brilliant.) I love your reviews, and have for over a decade. Just so damn honest and real.

If this depreciates like every other electric car, I'm buying one in a few years.

That beyond meat analogy is bs...look in to it...not healthy...Keep up the good work guys!

Best solution for me... buy the '24 manual (before they disappear) and replace the steering wheel with the one from the '25 when it comes out to get rid of the capacitive buttons.

This is both the most impressive and most insulting feat of engineering ever.

I want one

No EV for me. EVs are NOT the future, contrary to the agenda being pushed by politicians and mainstream media.

I feel like this is a perfect time for them to bring the Genesis Coupe back as an N vehicle… even though it’s sort of a Hyundai, sort of a Genesis.

Fantastic product from everything I see/read...genuinely excited to drive one and check it out.

I like the gear selector its identical to a freightliner, pete, kw, and international

I hope you have as much fun in a 24’ M3P

Neat but, still not going to buy an EV...

Being charged extra for fake stuff is like paying extra for meat grown in a lab. Its more expensive to produce it but you want the real stuff. You cannot ignore the money aspect

Ah yes! Finally! A bipolar car to go with my disorder. 🤣

My biggest problem with hyundai N cars is that theyre designed to appeal to 16 yr olds with the styling and flashy colors, but you have to be 30+ yrs old to afford one.

After Hyundai quoting two customers in Canada 50k for battery replacement on their ionic 5s those things should be boycotted

It's a fantastic looking truck, but considering the fact that this is their first vehicle, I'll probably wait for the refresh, I'm not the biggest early adopter.

I actually like this Ioniq 5 N.

Squeeze benz made it in the video!

I hope a Kia EV6 GT gets these fun features.

Tesla take note, we want this, a Model 3 performance with HUD, different steering wheel, a wider body/arches (to set it apart from the normal model 3), sport seats and the fake shifting because it's fun! cars are supposed to be fun.

I just don’t know why you would want fake engine noise in your EV… It’s like getting a bicycle and then adding motorcycle sounds and get wild about it. What are you… twelve?? It’s an EV. Get over the lack of sound thing. 😂

Modern videogames are *really* advanced, these days.

Why would say the former 20th ranker to be a "steaming hunk of crap" tho... Is it to sandbag the Hyundai? I guess everything 20 and below performed like steaming hunks of crap then?

70k. For a joke. With a badge no one cares about and a charging network that is unreliable. I'm surprised you guys can rave about this brick with a straight face. Are you even car guys anymore or is Hyundai paying off your mortgages? Something's SUS.

HYUNDAI deserves more credit for what they're doing. They've recreated dynamic feedback in an EV. It's super critical when driving a car hard or tracking one. The important parts are not fake. The feeling, the sensation, weight shift, intertia is all real. Any car maker in the performance EV space is now playing catch up.

I would definitely buy an EV that makes you feel like it isn’t an EV transmission!

Coolest car being made right now!

I’d opt for the Genesis GV60 Magma. I have the current one and that’s plenty fast. If Genesis has the Magma, it should be a tad bit faster than this and people still won’t know what the hell it is.

“If it’s Beyond meat and it tastes like meat and I save a cow! Why wouldn’t I do it!?” Omg I was DYING! 😂

The trick will be when you pay the insurance premium, or when you have to pay to repair it or when it bursts into flames and takes your house with it.

Hey look, those turbines are powering 1/10,000th of one second of that Ioniq 5 run!

I'm now curious about the possible Ioniq 6 N

How the VE Tiguan should have looked

Love the intro. Cant believe you found a car that would make me root for the lambo. Good job. Enjoy your electric car. Bye.
