2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N Review // DRAG RACE & LAP TIME
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 05. 2024
- The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N ($78,199 starting in Canada, $66,100 starting in the US) is the first EV to receive the N treatment from Hyundai. A dual-motor, all wheel drive system makes a maximum of 641 horsepower and 568 lb ft of torque. To live up to its N counterparts, the Ioniq 5 N sees numerous performance focused improvements over the normal model. This includes some serious things like fully redesigned suspension, meatier tires, and exterior design elements to help with cooling and aerodynamics. But how does it handle the track? And is it worth the price it asks? Thomas and James are excited to find out. We hope you enjoy the episode. And then subscribe, silly.
Huge thank you to www.carhub.ca for loaning us their Urus

This car feels like it is video game driving in real life.
*DRIVER 2 FLASHBACK Intensifies*.
That moment when you realize all video game cars are EVs and they use REAL electricity. 😱😱😱😱
@@itzblacknred That and you can realistically drive an EV with a controller.
True, comically ugly, at least video games have nice graphics, Hyundai don't.
It is a video game that pretends to be a car...
I'm legitimately happy Hyundai have been killing it these last few years.
Killing their cars with automatic engine combustion you mean lmao
I still miss the old Hyundai models like Tiburon, Accent, and Stargazer.
...by exploding spontaneously
@@sailingadventurerhaha...another one who refuses to see the light.
@@TheBreakfastLover since when, they haven't had issues like that in a while, hundai has been more reliable than most American and European brands as of late
I don't understand people who criticize that the engine sound and gearbox are all 'fake'. Hyundai has added “options” for consumers that other companies do not offer, and most importantly, the experience is fantastic. It can be transformed into one of the world's best family EVs at any time, but when you want to drive, it becomes the world's most fun EV to drive.
It presents a completely different paradigm to the electric vehicle market, which has so far been obsessed with horsepower or 0-100 time in seconds (of course, IONIQ 5N is also quite fast at 650 horsepower and 3.4 seconds). Hyundai's experience will be a huge competitive advantage in how to bring the positive things of internal combustion engines to electric vehicles in the near future when internal combustion engine vehicles will be banned (EU etc.)
in general people like calling things "fake" because it makes themselves feel more "real". that's why they don't have anything further to say after calling something "fake". they won't actually evaluate or look into anything to see merits or understand decisions (isn't it wild that enthusiasts are rating additional sensory feedback in a sports car as a negative just because the feedback isn't "real"?) they just need to convince themselves they're "real" people, not into "fake" stuff
well, this thing is an EV, not an IC vehicle. Not clear to my why EVs need to pretend to be something they are not. But then I have issues with loud Harleys as well....but at least in the case of the Harley, the loudness does make them a little less slow. With this thing, it's all phoniness.
It’s not phoniness…it’s communication. This is a bilingual car in that even though it is an EV it also speaks ICE (and behaves like ICE while doing so) which allows my 50 plus years of ICE wetware calibration to function as intended. I live about 300 kilometres from the nearest city so I still wouldn’t buy an EV because here in Canada the drives are long and the winters are longer. -40 outside means you’re drawing down the battery with the heater on and that kills any chance of decent range. BUT…if I lived in a city with mountain roads nearby I could see this as being a good thing to have no matter the season.
Hyundai ioniq is best Japanese car
@@jaksle6818 toyota is the best korean car, dumbaxx. 🤣🤣🤣
Hyundai/Kia is not only seeking recognition…it’s pushing boundaries like no other. Their competitiveness has made the industry much better. Haters will hate.
Korean manufacturers are doing what Lexus did 35 years ago: raising the bar for the entire industry.
@@cbotten106 Amen!
hyundai kia are amazing
You know what? All the freaking jealous Japanese, Chinese and dumb American haters are flocking to this channel to hate. Whether those haters hate it or not, the stock price of hyundai is closing in to all time high, not to mention it's flying high in a decade.
Tesla model 3 performance. Faster. Better range. Cheaper.
greatest morphius costume ever
One could say that was the greatest Morpheus ever lol
@@MaverickPhantomrumors say that this was the greatest Morpheus ever
@@caleb5849 I have to agree with those rumors
@@caleb5849when the 2025 Ioniq car could be on sale? I think it could be next year.
I was in tears 😂😂
The horse reference had me DYING 😂
The horse reference reminds me a bit to RED DEAD REDEMPTION.😂
He is right.
im too afraid to ask what it is but.... what is it ._.
I think it’s about how farmers get 2 horses to have sex, then pull out the penis while it’s having sex, tricking it to still think it’s having sex with the other horse, then collecting the semen for artificial insemination with other horses (selling dna). I could be wrong though, idk.
I think it's horse sperm extraction thingy...@@CaptainBlitz
When this car was first released I fell in love with its design. This new N now is a whole new level. If back to the future was made today this would be the car to star in it!
Or the at least the pony coupè
I hope they make the N Vision 74 and just make it an EV supercar like this. Truly a reincarnated BttF car.
The Hyundai N Vision 74 would be
seen one on the dealer lot and it looks amazing, just way up there in price haha. Someone in our Hyundai N group had a friend buy one though.
Perhaps when my wife and I are in our new home, and I can install a charger I'll look into this a bit deeper.
빙고 ㅋㅋ
“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! 😂
Save a cow, save the environment, and save your health! Why don't people do it?
Beyond Meat might not taste exactly like meat, but it is just as tasty.
Impossible tastes even more like meat and tastes even better than meat according to a blind taste test on the Slickdeals CZcams channel!
Funny cause it’s true.
14:40 it's like another British car guy who once said "So I went on the Internet, and I found this ..."
Well thats a very interesting package that they found.
lmao I was thinking the exact same thing
Just the fact that you can humiliate an Urus in a drag race in your Hundej is worthy of the price alone.
Urus is so overrated. A vw suv with hard lambo lines.
only if you are a weak person and you have a fragile ego.
No one buying a Urus is cross shopping some Hyundai. Cool the electric car one in the quarter mile, but that Lamborghini beats it in every other category by a mile. Build quality, looks, driving emotion, trackability, braking.
@@O2TG Hah, I think you meant braking.
@@nathanmaxtro1 My comment was edited 16 minutes ago and you posted 3 minutes ago. Blame Google voice.
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.
They are making Performance affordable ❤❤❤
The promise of EVs is finally coming true. WHEEEE!
Elantra N FBO ran a track time of 1:29 (forget which track it was, not the Nurburgring) but I have three screenshots of the Elantra running faster times then super cars, vipers, Audis, teslas, jaguars, hell even Porsches. If anyone wants the proof I can share em
Everyone always compares EVs to super cars and it always felt odd when other gas cars can easily do it as well
yeah but urus is real. you don't have to deal with fake this and fake that in an urus.
@@SoulTouchMusic93 the amount urus costs...is not difficult to build something like that without fake this and that. Its how to give a high end experience without charging high.
My wife got an Ionic6 a few weeks ago and being the first EV I've driven, I'm totally sold. So much fun to drive. Can't wait to replace my CRV in several years with a fun new EV.
When these cars get 600-700 klm per charge then we’ll talk.Don’t need panic attacks.
@@quercus5398 my performance car gets 450. All I want is cheap adn fast charging, then range is no issue for 99% of people
I need something that can ride in a steppe with good ground clearance.
BMW X5/Land Cruiser for me, or Range Rover but it's too pricy.
@quercus5398 just wait for the next generation of battery tech. More important than that though is the charging infrastructure. Even current EVs have more than enough range, provided it is as easy to find a functioning fast charger as it is to find a gas station. Unfortunately, charging stations aren't plentiful enough right now, especially those that charge at 350kW+.
@@Briggsian I agree with you.
Once they will solve weight issue, recharching speed issue, infrastructure and range electric cars will dominate the market.
This Hyundai is more popular than the cybertruck right now
It's cheaper, and way cooler looking
Plus it's a capable car
you crazy
@@lytatroan
You and OP are delusional. The Cybertruck has significantly more demand than this…I’d wager the new Model 3 Performance has at least triple the demand of this car.
@@josephquinto5812Tesla fanboy, the CT is not even coming close to sales expectations.
My man, a wet fart is better than that thing.
If the Ioniq 5 N is this good i can't even imagine what the 6 N would be like
That’s the one i would definitely trade my Veloster N in for. Love the Ioniq 5 n but way too big for my taste.
@@alecbraun6272feels smaller while driving. But nowhere near the veloster N lol. I was worried when I went from the K5 to the Ioniq5 but surprisingly felt natural.
Kind of the same, but way more ugly?
It's literally like how the veloster N/kona N was to the Elantra N...it's just gonna be a N performance sedan instead of a SUV/CUV?
It will be ugly
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.
The CORRECT KOREAN pronunciation is "hyon-dé" (2 syllables)
With this, a new era of sports car is born and it is good. Im waiting for a two door coupe version like the concept N 74
N74 200대한정 26년 생산이랍니다.. 지금정보로
I thought I’d never say…my most anticipated car this year is a Hyundai. That’s coming from an Alfa Romeo owner. Wtf. What a vehicle.
Weird times that we live in
Dude the minute you put it into N-mode and got on it I immediately had an uncontrollable smile. That thing is a LIVING VIDEO GAME.
I guess I should keep my Tesla in fart mode all the time. Makes it feel even faster.
I have seen a lot of video reviews about the Ioniq 5 N, you have been the best who reviewed it. MEGA JOB GUYS!
I LOVE that they did the N version of an Ioniq 5!!! I know I will be getting an Ioniq 5 in about 3 years, and giving my Tucson (which I absolutely love) to my fiance. While I would LOVE to get the N, I'll be sticking with the Limited in AWD.....but man those fake me out engine noises and you guys reactions too them...that was golden!!
The most entertaining and informative car CZcamsrs on the planet, and James pronounces Hyundai correctly. Pinch me.
The American videos with folk saying Hunday 🤦
Yes giving Kia the respect is deserves. Can't wait to be behind another 2022 hunday with zero working tail lights. Hunday deserves tons of respect. They own F1, Rally, Nascar, Formula D, etc...
@@Secretlyanothername Don't get me started on how the brits pronounce Nissian but who cares really bro?
I was like aint no way.
But no he pronounced it right
Honestly the first time ive heard it pronounced right from a non korean video
@@Secretlyanothername Hyundai literally spent millions of dollars on commercials teaching Americans to call it “Hun-Day like Sunday”
Hyundai are trying to bring fun out of ev’s, and I’m all for it
Suddenly all the fake enthusiast love fake sounds and gears 😂
@@beautyisontheinsidethe original cars sounds still better than EV ones.😢
@@purwantiallan5089always will be
@@beautyisontheinside at least to me it seems like the first time it's been done with intent and actually adds something new, instead of just being some half-assed droning noises you immediately want to turn off.
@@beautyisontheinsidebecause it's bringing some personality to an EV. I don't want fake sounds in a gas car, but to fake an engine and gear box that adds some fun to an EV. I'd have a blast driving that around mountain roads.
WOW this thing exceeded my expectations in all the right ways
This video actually got me emotional, it is purely amazing to see that there are still car makers who make vehicles with car guys in mind, and it actually looks so good, I’d love to see one in real life, cause here it looks like a hatchback with absolutely oversized wheels, and you guys keep bringing some of the highest quality videos on the car scene, I am absolutely one or your biggest fans for that, appreciate all the work you guys are doing, and when we feel like you’ve reached your highest point regarding quality, you keep surprising us further.
Keep on doing what you are doing, you guys are beyond great.
I've owned one of these beasts for the last couple months. It's insane and a total game changer. I've owned RX7's, Golf R's, etc. This is the future, ignore the haters, the "fake" rev sounds remind you this is a big toy, and it wants to be played with 😂
Yeah I like the fake engine sound in this application, it's adding engagement and fun to an EV.
I don't want fake engine noises in any other application.
I would totally own one of these.
Edit: somewhat related I THINK there is a patent that Toyota? Filed that was very similar to this, but included a clutch pedal and 6 speed transmission, to emulate both in an electric car, including faking clutch slip and grip points of a real clutch disc on an EV.
What’s the 60-130 time
haters? yeah I hate you, you lucky bastard😂
@@mmf9765how often can you do 60-130 pull without risk of losing your license?
There aren't many tracks that allow that speed
The only hating I'm doing is hating that you have it and I don't
When you know exactly which horse video James is talking about 😭🐴
😂 WTF
Good job typing that with one hand
i can guess what he's talking about but dont know what video exactly, can you explain?
Which video ?
Same😭
I have the 'Digital Teal' "normal" I5, and wrapped it in Xpel stealth PPF. The whole car is now matte, and it just changes it in a subtle way, but without the hassle or maintenance of matte paint finish.
So much to love in this episode - James' horse story is a TH top 5 all time classic and the closing pill sequence was just too funny. Kudos to Hyundai for not only overdelivering on new ideas but also for making all the tech work and injecting fun into EV ownership. Fab car, fab episode. You guys never disappoint.
I'm old enough (57) to remember enthusiasts in the very early 80s convinced that cool cars were over: the V8 was dying and they were convinced 'econoboxes' were plastic, souless, no-fun cars. That cohort was happy when the 5.0 Mustang proved them wrong, but a new generation of enthusiasts gravitated towards the hotted up versions of those econoboxes -- the GTI, the Civic Si. Then, in the 90s, a new gen didn't lust after Camaros and Mustangs -- they wanted turbo RX-7s, 300ZXs and Supras.
Everytime something new comes along, one group of enthusiasts is convinced it's the end of the world: "you'll pry my big-block, four-speed, 4:11-geared musclecar from my cold, dead hands." But a different (often younger) group discovers car enthusiasm can come in all kinds of different styles.
There will be fun EVs. Some folks will embrace them, others will not. I'm waiting for the day that they are a little cheaper and a little lighter, though a used Bolt with decent tires might be worth a look as values come down!
no engine? no thank you.
the left has stolen our dreams from us.
You don't even have to be old to realise that, you just have to be realistic.
Same thing happened in 2000-2010 when manufacturers began to turbocharge every engine and people were crying that it isn't real fun anymore
You had me up to used Bolt 🤣
Absolutely! I test drove the Ioniq 5N last week for a bit, and it was insanely fun. This car as a used car a few years from now when it gets cheaper, will be perfect for young people who wants a fast car. This is a great EV for a future boy racer. The endless options in the menus to set the car up to your specific liking and give it different personalities and driving characteristics, will be a dream for a younger generation used to set up cars to race in Playstation games. People can share online setups and hacks they have found and perhaps someone figures out how to update sounds and torque responses etc The possibilities are endless. And if Huyndai or other EV manufacturers make a smaller car with the same technology it would be even better. And I am sure it is coming.
The values do come dowm, Evs depreciate faster than ICE cars, why?
They have inherent problems that are expensive to fix (battery) that get worse with age, any other component failures are also extremely expensive
Got to drive one at my dealership when it came in, it is the wildest hyundai ever for sure. First time driving a performance EV so my stomach was in knots after a few launches lol
2025 Ioniq 5N looked like Audi A2 1.4 a bit.
I am sure whoever buys it will be thrilled the dealership thrashed it around beforehand
And it’s not even that fast compared to some of the others 😂 I’ve got to burnish the brakes on a Taycan Turbo S and I legitimately had a sore neck for the rest of the day.
@@griffins750ummm bruh, the taycan costs over 150k. 😂
@@TonyStark-wr7ob Yeah and? I wasn’t comparing affordability I was comparing performance… I know they aren’t at the same price point but I was just commenting on how ridiculously fast they are, enough to physically hurt you from the acceleration.
Absolutely nailed it Hyundai, what a brilliant laugh, pure joy, and you guys nailed the video, as always 💙💙💙
Good job , the funnier the better. Great video ,just wanting for a bit more of driving it along the track
As a Korean, I am very proud of the work Hyundai has done for the last few years!
Even though I'm not a fan of ev, Ioniq 5n is something that really interests me for sure. 👍
I've visited Korea and loved it, a lot of thought and care goes into every detail, very impressive!

10:07 it would be cool if the engineers could do a software update to have the sounds and shifting WHILE I’m drift mode. If Tesla can do it, Hyundai can too. Let go N Division 🔥🔥🔥
Wait… I can’t believe you guys got Laurence Fishburne to do the intro! @1:04
Fun fact, he was credited as "Larry Fishburne" in Nightmare on Elm Street
01:05 - Thomas is... 'Dorkphius' 😏🤣 Thomas' Mommy made it for him for Halloween to go 'Twick or tweating'... 🤣🤣🤣 😎🇬🇧
I’m impressed that the “engine” (or should I say, N-gine) sounds follow the drivetrain pulsation when you pogo about the track. That’s a nice touch of realism.
That was probably his foot bounced on the throttle due to the pogo'ing - but it's definitely a nice touch.
Yes something that does not translate well over video and need to be tested on your own, the simulation is not just Throttle -> Speaker. It simulates sound for how the car behaves and if it is slipping or if the powerband is running out.
I have been waiting for this review more than any other car review. Thank you.
Another best car review video so far this year, you guys reviewing the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N!!!🤩🤩🤩
THIS! This is what I've been waiting for! An electric car that gives the same audio and sensory experience as an ICE car. I really hope more companies follow suit.
It feels like its 4 cars in one. Excellent.
Been waiting a long time for you guys to review this car! :)
LOVE this car - saw one driving the other day and has proper road presence; not your every day Ioniq 5. Great vid!!
Watched enough reviews on this to say that if other manufacturers offered what Hyundai have done then I reckon more in brackets "petrol heads" would buy into the whole EV thing. What you have here is a genuine dual personality car beyond anything else, it can do the whole normal silent EV thing where it's driving experience is buttery smooth with single pedal driving etc and then with the press of a button become a full on Group B rally monster. Completely amazed by this thing.
Agreed. I think it could do great if they worked allowing more of the fun stuff in the track and drift modes, and increase the battery range.
The only major thing is the 3rd party chargers are not consistent like the Tesla chargers.
@@DragonKnightX12 Yeah and with the costs of third party charging this will be it's downfall because with such a entertaining involvement and such a small range you will need to be using them A LOT.
BRAVO! Brought mine home 3 weeks ago. You captured it all as I have experienced. Did the unveil to my local exotic car group…with much reservation….and was relieved when many said they had seen the car reviews online and couldn’t wait to see one. One couple even offered to buy it on the spot. Ha! Now, about that Emira in the garage…….😊
your reviews are top class fun. keep it up! This car is special!
this car is a milestone. not in the same way the Model S was, its not gonna revolutionize the car industry. But it is a proof of concept that enthusiast vehicles will exist and can be good in an EV future. Massive respect to Hyundai for building this.

They put so much effort and care into making this car great for enthusiasts, and I'm here for it. I CAN'T WAIT to see what they do with the Vision 74 when it goes into production.

I love the Ionic, the design, the squares, the dots, the whole car is funk, feels good just looking at it and now this beast, because crushing the Urus effortlessly, well, suffice to say really. Not to mention the amazing 8 speed transmission simulator with all the beautiful noises that you probably feel like you are handling The Enterprise!! Another great review fellas, all the best , as always from West Spain ❤
This is of my favorite they ever made Hyundai
Same. I also love this Hyundai surprisingly despite its still looked strange compared to Accent 2001.
I'm so proud to have a car brand like this in Korea nowadays, after all the hard times we've gone through since the Korean War, when we were a small country in the East.
I bought the Elantra N after watching Hyundai's WRC motorsports video.
If you want to see and feel Hyundai's real technology
I highly recommend Hyundai's Genesis and N brand vehicles
This content/channel is like at the top of my entertainment list, you guys are awesome...and im happy that it comes from Oh Canada :P
Once again, Hyundai is just crushing it. I personally love all of the settings that they make available since you only need to learn where they all are once. As someone that was never a car guy, Hyundai has really peaked my interest with their latest cars and features as they seem to be one of the few manufacturers that haven't forgotten about the fun element with making cars.

Great review, and a testament to the work Hyundai and the rest of the industry is doing to make EVs fun. Almost everyone has been giving Dodge the thumbs down for going the fake sound route, but it clearly does add to the experience. The sound options on the 5 N are also pretty cool.
The horses part of this video killed me! 😂 🐎 🥛
I really don't care about the ICE emulator, I even disabled the fake engine sound augmentation in my RS, but I *do* like the way Hyundai have prioritized driver involvement over safety when it comes to handling and letting you step over the limit. It's big, but they've finally decided to make a hot hatch EV.
I think the big thing with the engine sound in the I5N isn't that it has fake engine sound, but that Hyundai have done such a good job matching it with the fake gears (inc. downshift, lift-off, redline, etc)... fake engine noise without (manual) gears just sounds... fake. With the gears, and the physical sensations (as hyundai cut the motor on shift, etc), it works as a complete package.
@@logicalChimp Yeah... Which seems to have been well done, but it's also a little silly because it's limiting the torque by gear/RPM to emulate a gasoline engine, so you're giving up performance by turning on the emulation.
I can see how it will work for some people, basically it's like playing a video game with options to mess around with, but if anyone thinks it will satiate the "purists" then they definitely don't understand the purists in the first place... It's not about any specific behavior of the sound and feel, it's how the physical mechanisms at work create that sound and feel that matter. You might could say that this is to a gasoline car as a video game like Dirt Rally with a full motion simulator is to actual rallying.
That doesn't mean that "purists" won't ever like EVs, though, to sell EVs to driving purists you have to stop pretending the EV is something that it isn't, and instead focus on the EVs strengths... I.e., low center of mass, instant torque, extremely dynamic torque vectoring (*especially* in a hot hatch!)... You don't have a gas engine anymore, so ease up on the NVH and allow some sound into the cabin. If it's not direct drive and has gears anywhere, use straight cut gears since they sound epic as their pitch increases with speed. Electric race cars without all the sound deadening can actually sound really cool for the driver, so save some weight, remove noise insulation between the cabin and drivetrain, and let the driver hear the motors spool up as they accelerate.
The main thing is going to be weight, though... A smaller hot hatch in the vein of this car but with more real drivetrain noise making it to the cabin, 1500-2000 lbs less weight, and a lower price would be much more interesting even without the ICE emulation gimmicks. I don't want to take my new girlfriend on all the same dates as my ex, that's just sad. I want to have new experiences.
@@matthewbrown7659 pretty much hit it on the head. I dont want to step on anyone's fun because there's no doubt that if i were to drive this i'd love it. But what makes me love driving is the reality of it. The machine basically telling me that if I screw up then I'll be lucky to walk away. The open window shoving air into my face and the heat coming through the sunroof, and of course, the G-force of a corner taken at err... totally legal speeds.
I have spent all my life playing racing games and I will continue to do so, there's nothing special about a car that simulates all the things that a game does for me!
I really look forward to an EV that pretty much feels like a golf cart to drive.
EVs with fake gears and engine noise?

Yeah once they got the Audi and BMW engineers and designers to come over, they definitely have improved.
The newer EV Hyundai's and the newer "n line" gas cars are the first Hyundai's I'd buy. They look like a lot of fun and remind me of when I bought my 09 civic SI... A nice reliable daily driver with a sporty fun touch, and easy to live with.
@mediocreman2 they did a lot more than that but so many idiots can only see those things and regurgitate it like a broken record
I think we should celebrate Hyundai for the Ionic 5N because it shows that EVs can be fun to drive and that they are raising the bar for the EV industry in that way. Thanks Hyundai!
Fair play to them for trying to make the car fun. The Fiat 500e abarth is just one constant drone. This genuinely seems fun to drive and use
Congratulations Hyundai….you have come a long way!
Ive been so excited for this car, this has been one of the most anticipated reviews ive seen
Waited so long for this, so excited it’s here
Love it great review happy you guys love this ioniq N nice work Hyundai
Hyundai is knockin them outta the park year after year. Compared to the Japan, South Korea is kickin ass.
This analogy is absolutely spot on
This car is essentially a driving simulator rig that you can actually drive on the street.
I think that was the idea. But with real consequences if you misread the physics, so to speak.
9:52 - Wait for the 2026 Hyundai N. 🤷♂
11:15 - 💯. I feel aaaalllll that weight even in my Ioniq 6 on the fwy at lvl 0 regen. You're flyin!
I actively avoid electric car reviews now because they are so dull (particularly the 'performance models') but this was actually quite interesting. Hopefully other manufacturers will start to care about drivers' interest again.
Been waiting for the Throttle House review!
Driving a video game simulator in a car body, on real roads. Noice 👌🏾
And this is their 1st go integrating sounds and feel. Imagine how it can improve in the future. V8 Tau engine sounds, vibrators in the seat and steering wheel to enhance it, changing the sound when you open a window even. I'm glad they offer it.
Great review my fellow Canadian’s, keep up the spectacular work
I've been waiting for your guys review of this! As always top tier. Can't wait to see your 2024 Elantra N video.
My mom's car but souped up, also my dream car! Thanks for the review
18:10 The guilty pleasure in his face when he says "that's fun tho.." 😂
I 'dislike' that you beat the caca out of the Urus. Brilliant video Throttle house! Long time fan, I'll keep spreading the word!
Best car review ever. I loved it and you gave me a future. Defnitely the blue pill!!! Thank you!
I had a 2019 Hyundai GT, it was fun, and I never had any issues. I traded it in at 60k on a new Elantra N. It was great up to about 20K, and then it kept having weird issues like bad fuel injectors, DSG recalls, and a couple of other things. The warranty service was awful. After having it towed 3 times in 2 months to the dealer, where I was not given a loner while they had to wait for parts, I lost confidence in the car. How could I let my wife drive it when it could happen to her? So I traded it in on a used 4Runner and couldn't be happier. My point is, Hyundai's are really fun, I personally like the looks, and they're definitely better than they used to be, but in my experience they are not sorted out and they really need to beef up the customer service/warranty depot before I would give them another shot. Honestly, my wife and I both Drive Toyotas now. We've had no issues with either car for years. It's going to be tough to pry us off of that brand moving forward.
It is quite amazing that this Hyundai has created an N sub brand that could be taken seriously right from the get-go.
I agree with Thomas, it needs the sounds in all modes, but short of that and actual driving...this is my new favorite EV. If I were looking to buy an EV this would be top of my list to test.
The horse bit OMFG how many takes for Thomas not to laugh?? 😭
Been waiting for this video. This car is hopefully a sign of great things to come. Hyundai proved it can be done right, and hopefully higher range, lighter batteries solve the last issues in the next 5-10 years. Upsetting they didnt get the UI stuff down though, surprising cause the general UI in the none N is fine.
I heard that 5 yrs ago and here we are with a sub 200 mile range EV car.
My (gas) Jeep has a 250 mile range, and I'm not complaining @Marbind
@@JoshuaTootell Well, you have many options to refill in ~5min. 🤷♂
@@JoshuaTootellmy humble Mazda 3 does almost 800km in one tank.
The thing is, this is just the beginning. EV technology has a lot of growth to it, thus it won't be long before it simply makes sense to own and drive an EV.
I have the regular Ioniq 5 dual motor and it's an amazing car. So I wish it had slightly more range, absolutely. But I get by with it just fine as it is.
Love the car! Love the presentation! I do have a suggestion though! This fact paced stuff looks jittery in 25 fps, can you please try to upload your videos in 30 fps? It'll make a huge difference. 🔥
I cannot express how happy I am to finally see this pop up in my feed. Been waiting for this video for a very, very long time. The I5N is absolutely incredible.
Was the video eNjoyable ?
Lol at that intro. Man I love y'all's content.
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.
The have been playing catch up for a while now and now are falling even further behind with this gem.
I test drove the normal Ioniq 5 today, you are quite correct about it's size, but it drives smaller.
