      today's car designers are under tremendous pressure to come up with something different than what exist already.
      And they usually end up with something weird.
      It is not easy to come up with something different, yet eye pleasing.

      I think his overuse of weird and quirky we're a little bit over-the-top. I agree, I think it's a good looking car and has a lot of good merits to it. The only bad thing is the Hyundai dealership where I went added a $5,000 premium to the price... I and at least three other people just walked away after hearing that. The EV Revolution is here, but it will be slowed down by adding $5,000 premiums to the price of new EV cars. By the way the the magnet for the most part is used to hold your phone but can be used for other things I'm sure.

      Thats exactly right. In S.Korea everyone uses their phone navi over car navi and mount it up front, because businesses and roads change so fast that car navi become inaccurate after a few months. So people just use their phones for accuracy. The roads in the major city can be unending mazes.
      Edit: Mainly to keep up with correct speed limits and traffic cams that are everywhere. I dont know about other countries but S.Korean navi warns you if you are about to approach a speed cam. Car navis sometimes display incorrect speed limit which in turn you end up with fines. Smart phone navis are always up to date so its just common practice here.

    Another good thing worth mentioning about Kia/Hyundai models is they update their maps for free. I have a 2017 Ioniq and have been getting built-in nav updates via SD card since I bought it all for free. This really helps with the livability of your car long-term as you don't need to shell out hundreds at the dealership to get them to update it for you.

    The bonus cushion at the foot of the driver seat isn't a thigh support adjustment. It's supposed to function as an Ottoman. When you are stopped and charging somewhere and you have nowhere to go whilst you wait for said charge, they included this for people who may want to just lie back and relax in what is almost a recliner. If im not mistaken there is a button in the car somewhere that I think does this automatically, like a "max" or "max relax" or "max recline" button that does all the seat adjustment and ottoman deployment in one touch.

But at the same time it's good that he doesn't parrot what everyone else says all the time.

    1. The design on the speakers and cup holders is a 3D cube which is a variant of a pixel square just FYI and 2. USB A makes way more sense as most cables and companies still leverage the technology more so than USB C. I actually appreciate it since I have so many of the cables. 3. The leg rest is to go into relaxation mode which puts the driver seat fully flat and reclined. It is not meant for thigh support while driving.

    I actually test drove one last week from our local Hyundai Dealer and it was awesome. One of the things that caught my attention was, that even though the car takes a futuristic and modern approach, they still decided to put buttons in for the infotainment system below the touchscreeen. I hate the fact that other manufacturers go only screens. I still like a turning knob for the volume rather than having to find the button on the touch display and pushing it multiple times to turn up the volume while driving. What’s wrong with putting in some of the most essential buttons. So hats of to Hyundai for going with some buttons!

This car looks new today, but watch the more conservative others follow with a refreshed design language pretty soon.

The diagonal in the side of the exterior and the "cyclone" design around the wheels are definitely a bit odd, but I like them, and I do like the new color. As for the magnetic panel to the right of the instrument display, my guess is that it is intended to hold cellphones, not refrigerator magnets. I think that's a smart idea.

    I'm starting to see these around on the roads where I live in SW Pennsylvania. In person, they are as neat looking as they are on screen. Even better since on screen you get that flicker of the lights and 2-dimensional view. In person, they really pop! I LIKE IT! Now, as many already know, I'm no fan of screens being the sole option to use various functions. I do like that the climate controls are pulled out of the screen and put in their typical, rightful place as a separate unit. That, and the stereo appears to have physical controls like buttons and that little "Tune" key-lever control. Plus the vents look to be normal. Like, just use your fingers to adjust the airflow. Unlike another EV vehicle where you have to fuss around with a screen to even do that basic thing... (Rivian) The drivers' screen is nice. I like the futuristic layout, but I feel that some (even me) would actually prefer an option with more of a traditional dial type of display. That, and an absolute requirement would be a dark theme. Even available for day time use. Which I'm sure it has since I could see the edge of the screen in a dark mode in the preview video. The matching center screen is good in that it is WIDE and actually goes along with the naturally horizontal characteristics of a cars interior layout. Unlike some others where the screen is turned on its end like some big goofy cellphone leaned up against the dash (Tesla) Plus,, it's not like it MUST remain on "Home" screen when not being used, right? Just pop it onto the menu screen or whichever screen you choose and leave it there. Bonus points if your particular choice could be set to default. But overall, while I would like to see more physical controls, I get it that some things like GPS and system settings are simpler with a screen. I would like to see an IONIQ 5 in a deep, forest-green metallic with just a hint of goldflake, or in black metallic with a subtle touch of purple or red flake. Burgundy/goldflake would be beautiful as well.
    Hyundai IONIQ 5 ... I REALLY like it! The rectangular lights, the pixelated details, the squared-off edges and the sharp body lines and creases all look good to me. I mean I really want an Aptera, but that's like a Cybertruck. Lots of promises, and nothing on the road yet, and no one knows when it will happen. IONIQ 5 is here. Now.
    GIMME ONE! 😃

    I think it is an awesome design, inside and out, sure some people are gonna love it, some people are gonna hate it but you gotta give it to Hyundai for being unique👌💯

    The magnetic panel inside is probably made to mount phones with a magnet on them... Pretty useful.
    Great and very entertaining video 👍

    Doug's the type of guy to jumpstart an electric car when it runs out of range

    Doug used the word "Weird" to many times. There is nothing "Weird" about this car. The squares he is going on about are "Grid" squares. The car is built to run exclusively off the electrical grid system. Grid/Graph paper is composed of squares, so it makes sense design wise.
    I think the design of this car is on point. It is a beautiful car, and I have been following it's development for a long time. I am glad to see it came into fruition close to the concept.

    I think you completely missed the selectable 5 level regenerative braking setting which offers one pedal driving. This is a great feature. Regenerative braking offers outstanding control down curvy mountain roads, has a big impact on range and efficiency. One pedal driving is great after a little getting used to it. These features should be covered in all EV reviews. I took a test drive in the Ioniq 5, and when I asked the salesman about how to use the regenerative braking settings, he was insistent that there weren't any. People need informative CZcams videos to help them select the right EV, and dealers need your help as well.

      I wonder how much range does the regen braking add when used?

    Why call everything "weird". A manufacturer decides to design a car that does not conform to the "norm". Who defines normal anyway? I think this looks brilliant and well done to Hyundai for designing something different.

      Toyota also did the same thing with the CHR, yet people called them ugly for being distinctive and different from Karen Crossovers

      It's weird In a good way where the EQS is weird in a bad way

      Because he’s just babbling at this point. He’ll wax endlessly about how cool some mid 80s thing that was a POS when it was new, but them call one of the best new designs in years “weird” for no good reason.
