Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 12. 2021
- The 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5 (~$59,900 CAD as specced, ~$54,900 USD) is the beginning of the new EV series from Hyundai. Today we have the AWD long range model which has been specced with the ultimate package. That means it gets all sorts of goodies such as the vision sunroof, dual motors, and the augmented reality heads up display. Since James is in the market for an EV to replace his Audi S4, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 might just be a viable option. Let's see what the guys think! We hope you enjoy the episode. SUBSCRIBE!

Amazing the leaps Kia and Hyundai have made since like a 2002 Accent, Rio and Optima. Super innovative.
It really is impressive. I remember getting these crap Hyundai company cars (or rentals) 20yrs ago & they were terrible. Now Korea makes quality vehicles w/ some luxury benefits & you don't feel like a loser driving one. Kia & Hyundai are doing great things!
I have owned 3 Sonatas. All great cars. Current one is a 2020 base model and it practically drives itself.
@@MO_Disk A lot better value than anything else on the market.
Yup, and design-wise kia took a leap when they hired the lead audi designer from early 2000s audi. He's no longer with them but they have it figured out now
If James buys the Ioniq5, he will be the 7th car reviewer to buy a Hyundai/Kia product that I've seen.
Doug Demuro got the Stinger, Carlos Lago has a Telluride, Car Confections bought a Sonata N, and I think the others are Matt from Carwow, MotomanTV, and Everyman Driver.
People that are testing new cars all the time are buying Hyundai/Kias with their own money and putting their families in them; that's really the most compelling argument there is.
We can’t continue to normalize $60k being “affordable”
Exactly what I was thinking, since when did it become the norm for a car to cost $50k plus?
Watch again, they called it "Relative Affordable"
30k is unaffordable for most people
tell us you’re poor without telling us you’re poor
Welcome to Europe! Here, especially petrol and diesel, cars are ridiculously expensive...
I'm 6'5" and having your 6'6" sound engineer sit in the back of the car is the most useful bit of information I've seen in countless reviews and videos. Big props for that! This, alone, earned a subscribe XD
As a chauffeur, I also appreciate this aspect of the review. 😉
I'm 5'6" , but I may have friends who are 6'5"... one day..
I appreciate it too.
I'm a chauffeur too looking at this as well. Get taller guys as well. I'm 6ft personally
Then why didn't they show it?
Good point! They mentioned the EV6. Being 6'4" I found it too tight. The Ionic 5 is perfect for me.
In 13 years of marriage, my wife and I have enjoyed about 35 vehicles. This (Ioniq 5 AWD SEL) is the first one she said she really likes. She didn’t care about a modded Stinger GT, a 2005 GTO, a 429 hp 2013 Genesis R Spec, a pair of trucks and handful of SUVs. She digs her the Ioniq.
I like that both Hyundai and Kia have gone very different directions with their design aesthetics and both been successful. I don't think this looks like a small car but I do think it would look better as a small car.
Yeah, I wonder how it would look if it was like Honda E size.
One hired an Audi designer, the other didn't.
Ioniq 4 or 3. A smaller version of this perhaps?
Excellent perspective and I totally agree. I’d like to see more small EVs which prefer practicality over 0-60 too. 250 miles is more than enough range for most people in European countries, so more Renault 5 sized cars over SUVs.
@@benjaminsmith2287 Yeah, I believe they're aiming for a 3,5,7 line up
It’s really amazing how well Hyundai did with this car. Everyone likes it. It’s funky in all the right ways. It’s modern without being tacky.
I have an Ioniq EV from a few years ago and I absolutely love it. Once I’m done paying it off I will likely get a new one with better range.
Nah!!
Hopefully they don't have the constant/massive fails rolled into an EV as they've had for way too long with ICE setups. Still wouldn't piss away $ on anything from HyunKia as that garbage will never truly cut it.
Hyundai(현대) in korean means "modern"
I just saw one at the mall, it's tacky as hell inside. I know the reviewers in this video liked the exterior styling but I think it looks like the 80s called and want their "futuristic" car back.
Hyundai has made such strides over the past few decades. Who wouldn’t thought we’d be watching a review of an excellent new affordable ev. I think a Hyundai will be my next car
They are doing à good job
Affordable? 50,000$ for base model.
@@dmoney3491 i mean for an EV.. its on the affordable sides.
I'm considering this for my next car. I remember a Hyundai Pony my Dad drove in the early '90s, how the door slam sounded like a tin can, so flimsy. Hyundai certainly has come a long way.
I had Huyndai ioniq 2017 hybrid. It was pretty good. I had to sell it because I went to financial problems and it wasn't fully electic like this so I couldn't afford gas because well it wasn't even plug in version. I did a huge mistake by buying the cheapest 2017 model but still it was my best car so far and I drove 200km/h one time on an empty highway
I think Hyundai nailed it to be honest. It looks awesome and ticks so many boxes in terms of what you'd probably want out of a daily driver/family car.
This is the car I ordered in July and still waiting . these reviews make it seem more like I made the right decision. I have mostly driven sportier cars but now I bought a 21 Honda ridgeline and love the more comfort oriented ride. The Ioniq 5 sounds like it rides comfortably and I am near 70 so say no more! I loved the review and you guys have a natural comedic wit (similar to Ryan Reynolds ) so that is a compliment to you guys
There's a N version coming soon
Congrats man!
I saw K Dyer and thought for a second that I don't remember making this comment
I know someone that ordered a Mercedes E series amg convertible and it took a year for then to get it and they were missing some of the chips to complete some of the interior features so she has to go back and take it in to get installed.
@@whosdondada An N version coming soon? That's cool.
I'm Korean who are owned ioniq 5.
Even Korea version of ioniq 5 has digital side mirror.
I think it's better than nomal mirror. Especially when rainning day and night.
I always satisfied it's space and performance.
The funny thing is Everybody looking my car. b cuz it has unique and futurestic design.
Anyway, Happy new year !! 🎉🎉
Do you know if it gets improve range by Having the digital mirrors instead of the "normal" ones?
@@Kurre. It without a doubt does but it could only be several miles.
It is now proven that the KIA EV6 has achieved longer distances on a single charge.
Happy new year 🎉
bro squid game was wild give the creator my best
First I liked Kia EV6 better but more I look into these two (Ioniq5 and EV6), I am starting to liking Ioniq5 more. It's very unique in design, no cars (gas or electronic) in the market look like Ioniq5, it has it's own style that is very unique. Furthermore, Ioniq5 is capable of covering all round ages target, from young people to old people, don't matter, this car will fit into their style whether you are teens and seniors (60+).. extemely well balanced in styling.
This car is so elegant I just bought mine yesterday, I was extremely lucky that they had one in the lot. Super spacious! You can have the seats all the way back and someone who is 6 ft tall sit comfortably. Yes the torque is insane too. I love my new car 🖤
This is a shockingly good car.
Gggg try r
Ú
Crippling discombobulated ugliness in those junkyard doors . No lines flow at all full marks to the designer for going full ugly. Did the Pontiac aztec designer move to hyundai??
@@28naveenator27van i do think the car has a ……. Growing affect on you. I used to hateee how this looks but the more i see the car on the road the better it looks
In 5 years when it's panels have rusted through will you say the same thing?
@@grayman618 how do you know in 5 years the panels would be rusty ? Im serious is it an actual issue right now or what ?
The design is absolutely beautiful, and perfect for a family. The design team at Hyundai are true artists.
Your kidding, right!
@@davidp.3170 why would he be? It looks fabulous
Yes, the new genesis cars and SUVs are beautiful vehicles.
Supposedly they hired an Audi designer, that's why they're looking so nice lately.
At an age where Mercs and Audis look like Corollas and visa versa, the Ioniq 5 is a red carpet welcome!
I just got my I5 on Friday and wow I love it. It is the AWD with Ultimate pack. It drives way better then a Model Y. It is was quieter and smooth. It needs a wiper on the back but not a huge issue. You can still see out of it with it a little dirty. I love it and glad I got it. Thanks for the great reviews guys. I am in Edmonton and it is cold so it is getting a proper test here. So far so good.
The wiper Hyundai say they will gonna add digital room mirror.
@@studiobdsj7629 Yes adding a digital rear camera to the rear view mirror is a good idea but it still will get dirty from road salt and grime. still have to clean it. it really does not get that bad you can still see out the back even on the worse days here so far.
@@CKG1973 Ya I think so, like Canada or Ru**ia may not work
@@studiobdsj7629 Yeah I am in Canada, Edmonton, and it is a mess on the roads in the winter. dirt salt and rocks. the front sensors get frozen up and the rear window gets dirty. But you can still see out of it even on the worst days. But you do have to clean the car in the winter for sure.
This IONIQ 5 is to EV SUV's as the Mazda MX-5 RF is to the roadster. Both iconic, both current, and both are undoubtedly going to be classics.
Hyundai could just make a 75% scale version of this and sell it as a Golf GTI alternative and the sales would be insane. They really should it'd be so easy.
I'd 100% buy it if it was a hatchback. I hate the size and height of SUVs, but it looks fuckin amazing. I just want the same but smaller.
"I still feel like I need to make it last as long as possible...a familiar goal"
this one hit too close to home, James
Haha one of the better reasons to be married with kid(s) - then it's a sprint...much better!
@@JKennedy442 😂 that’s the goal
Glad I'm not the only one who picked that up
Epic one! 🤣
@@robssmgeveryone watching picked it up. Not “rocket” science.
'I feel like I need to make it last as long as possible, a familiar goal' I nearly died 😂
The reason I liked this video🤣
James is a genius!
I’m a huge fan of this design. Would love to see a whole sub lineup of vehicles styled like this. One can only dream
Check out the NVision74!
I never NOT laugh at any of James and Thomas review on cars. This is why I keep coming back to watch their reviews. Great work lad.
When I was a kid in the 80’s and they penned what a car in the future would look like, this was it! I can stare at this car all day long. I would easily be proud to drive that thing around any car crowd in town.
Not happy with it.
@@davidp.3170 why? Each to their own!
This is the first affordable EV that could actually fit my family of 5 (three kids in car seats) and it doesn't have terrible build-quality issues. I'm very interested in checking this out.
Also that recharge speed and range are pretty exciting
charging infrastructure isn't there unfornately
@@Superfastjellyfish669 While I agree that charging speed and range are good things, maybe even the number 3 and 4 features for my personally, it could charge in 1 minute and have a thousand mile range but if it doesn't fit my family, it's a no go. I am able to charge slowly overnight at home every day and only need about a 40 mile range typically, so a plug in hybrid with a battery with 40-60 miles of range would be awesome with the right vehicle but we have so much of those in the US.
@@fluxcapacitor3000 Most homes in the US have an outside outlet and if you plug in every night, even with slow charging, you should be fine. EVs should be focused on home charging, not exchanging a gas station for a charging station.
@@FoYo1005 true but im saying for road trips it'll be a bit more difficult
You guys are so entertaining to watch. Incredible knowledge, but the humor takes it over the top!
I really like the Ioniq5... It's one of the best-looking EVs available.... The sharp corners are edgy and sweet looking...
It looks like lancia delta integrale suv. I love it!
The exterior design is major 🔥!! It has sharp futuristic lines, with a rally hatchback sort of design to it. Not too big, not too small. It’s really good looking! 10/10!!
It’s really ugly
how much is south korea paying you?
Looks like first drawing of VW golf, it's not good looking. It's ok at best. It has nice elements but as whole it not that good. LCD screens in interior also look cheap and boring. Zero style pure utility. Perfect car for people that hate cars.
It's very good looking
I also love the look
You gotta love what Hyundai/Kia have been doing. I traded in my Audi and got myself a 2022 Sonata N line with that 2.5T and it is absolutely mind blowing what Hyundai are doing while still offering these price points. Fantastic cars. This Ioniq looks better than the Model Y in my opinion.
Hi Jason
Which Audi did you have
When you went with the Sonata N line, did you consider the Kia K5 GT? If so what made you go with the Sonata?
@@amzab123 Plus the elantra N
The only Tesla model body I like is the Model S. The Model 3 looks acceptable. But the Model Y looks like a bloated Model 3. I don't care for the interior of Teslas, however. I like Kia and Hyundai's designs. Even the Sonata which some people criticize. I think it looks great.
One of the best Hyundai ever made.... litreally such an amazing car!
I have a 2019 Ioniq EV and it’s wonderful. This new line adds all the things I wanted in it.
Hyundai and Kia deserve a lot of credit. They are pushing, innovating and looking for different paths. I couldn't quite convince my family to buy one because cars are big investments and carry a significant fear, but it will eventually happen.
Investments appreciate in value. This won't be appreciating in value any time soon. 😉
@@danieljohnson4418 expenses, I should have said
Whenever people ask what EV I would recommend, the first car I'd say is the Hyundai Ioniq 5 / Kia EV 6. They nailed it.
Same
Fisker Ocean way better on paper, we'll see though.
@@JKennedy442 We'll see. As much as I want to be hopeful, there's a big difference between a spec sheet on paper and actual units being produced in full scale.
I've been eyeing the Genesis GV60. I like the styling more and the overall package but the price might be going out of my range (not officially announced yet but est. to be about 4k more than Hyundai/Kia)
I love the way this thing looks. Even 10x better when you see one in person. It looks like the futuristic classic Honda I always wish they had made. I do like the new Honda EV too tho
We were also impressed by the design features, comfort, futuristic approach and innovative all electric power. Hyundai seems to be putting in the extra effort to bring a solid entry into the EV space, the future is looking bright for electric vehicles if more stylish entries like this get added to the market.
The interesting thing is that the Chevy Bolt exists... And no one gives a damn. They squandered one hell of a lead with unfortunate styling and pretty much zero marketing support. Next to this? It would literally be invisible. Awesome work, guys!
And major recalls from exploding batteries
@@WhiteGoldSynesthesia That didn't help 😬
@@jax1079 not even a lil bit 😅
GM never marketed it nor pushed with dealers. Crossovers and SUV were short term profit grabs. This is long term business.
@@erichellner956 they were hoping to put support behind the new model year 2021 Bolt EV and EUV but stepped back when the recalls happened for the older models as brand sentiment / consumer confidence in the nameplate were poor. They were / are continuing to suffer in terms of production capabilities due to the chip shortages too. Just a general clusterfuck and lack of ability to capitalise on being early to market, with a cheaper (but worse) EV option. Source: I worked for them
The ev6 looks great. the Korean car makers are definitely going to top German and Japanese EVs in the future.
I dont like the back of EV6
i will not lie... i watch all of your videos not for the cars but how you guys are good at what you do.. respect guys.. love from cameroon
Hyundai designed the best gear shifter. Great position, easy to operate, no need to look & fully frees up the center console.
It has a shortcut for the heated/ventilated seats! Just push the “warmer” button under climate button it will go to that screen if you have latest software update 117 :)
software update to enable? Why didn’t it have it to begin with lol
Still one step longer than it should be. Heated and ventilated seats should always have dedicated 1 push buttons. It can still be on a screen but should always remain static. Like the row of controls at the bottom of a Tesla screen.
still should just be a physical button
@@Josh-179 You haven't been in a Tesla lately, have you? That row is sadly gone
@@Josh-179 tesla buried it - it used to be a one touch button
I cannot wait the Kia ev6 🔥🔥
Yeah, tough choice between the two. Both top of the heap at the moment.
I already drove it and I can tell you it drives very good and looks incredible🔥
I can!
James and Thomas are the best duo and the best channel for me. Love you guys.
this is a great looking car imo. I love the retro design. Hyundai did well with this one.
Now do a comparison with the Kia EV6 😁
13 years ago, my father bought the ugliest yellow Samsonite hardcase suitcase I've ever seen. I was horrified, but over time, fell in love with it. It's unlike any other suitcase, and always stands out at the airport - it's the only hideous yellow Samsonite I've ever seen. It's my bag. I love it.
Today, I watched James pull that same Samsonite out of the trunk of an electric car. Huh. You guys have HORRIBLE taste in luggage. Bravo.
thank you so much for sharing this 😭😭😭
At 7:43, I think the wheels look simply amazing. Unique and distinctive and one of my favourite styling details of this vehicle. REALLY appreciate black wheels as they tend to hide the dirt better...so bonus points for practicality.
Good video, and helpful points. Missed mentioning and showing a few significant features, including Vehicle to Load (V2L) charging - ability to charge external devices from the IONIQ 5 (and Kia EV6), even able to charge another EV (although that is not at all the target function, think more while camping, or operating plug in tools, or even use during a power outage).
I just love that Hyundai and Kia differentiate their cars so much even though they are basically the same underneath. Meanwhile Toyota and Subaru…
Hyundai did very well on this! The good looks, bigger than it seems, and appliance grade (unremarkable) operation are 100% on point with the market. Get a big (240v) home charger and possibly a work charger (getting more common) and never hit a filling station again! Great review dudes!
"Big home charger" in Europe is 22KW 400V three phase. 🤙
The video quality is amazing
Great work
After 37 foreign and North Am Ioniq 5 reviews here, you guyz are THE First to finally show the ceiking cover Closes under the Sunroof as to not get so hot in the interior, can be over 240 deg at times in the Southwest. pet furbaby and kid owner Good News! Thx guyz !
The design of the Ioniq 5 has to be greatest car design of this era. I still can't believe that it is not a small hatchback!
I think the Kia looks good as well
I know it would never come to the US if it existed but I would buy the hell out of a Ioniq 3 hatchback just make it a small version of the 5.
Looks bad!
@@davidp.3170 Get your vision checked, you might be legally blind.
The EV6 has reported better handling and battery management. I'd try both before buying.
Was going to say a similar thing. Just an all round slightly better car
actually carwow did a range test of these two plus a bunch of other EVs recently, and they also show how they behave when they run out of battery. (I wouldn't think this went passed these boys' radar, but it's a good one to watch.)
Also a firmer ride. Maybe hardly any waft quality and more of the one and down motion Thomas is looking for.
It's mainly that the ioniq has a smaller battery while Kia fitted the SV6 with a bigger battery. So it's not the battery management but the battery size. I
@@lbnewell23 however you do compromise some trunk and rear seat space. I'd go with the ev6 myself.
I like how they're so confident they put a number in, already planning the 4 and 6.
I saw this thing on the road and immediately fell in love with the design. Had to look it up.
Intro never fails to make me smile, congrats on the success men
Fax
Just seen my first one in person today while in my dads 2022 NIRO EV. These things look sexy in person. Both front and rear end is sharp looking. KIA and Hyundai are both killing it in the EV game
Excellent job!!!!!! Thank you for your work and information.
Just u wait till you see the N versions of these electric Hyundais with a simulated split differential. Electric cars will now come in "manual" folks! What a dream!
Love to see more competition in the EV space! Cant wait for more affordable EV options coming soon
As a film instructor, love the colour grade! As a Throttle House fan, love the review!
Have a wonderful 2022, gents! Cheers from Vacouver!
아니 뭔 리뷰가 제로백부터 시작. 주행성능에 진심인 리뷰네요. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 잘 보고 갑니다.
Since this is a new video, I wanted to welcome the both of you to San Diego and thank you for bringing us some rain :) Great review guys as we San Diegans with probably the highest rate of EV Adoption in the country love your show. Keep those great reviews coming!
Everytime I see this car on YT I'm increasingly accepting of its looks. I definitely think in person I'm more on the EV6 end of it, still, even though it'll be a little bit less unique. My concern is going to be price gap, because this thing gets a Bose sound system and what, mid 300 horsepower at the top end, and it's $60K CAD...
The EV6 will be getting a meridian sound system, and 577 horsepower at the top trim... And I'm really scared it'll be the first Kia ever that is "unaffordable". So we'll see.
One interesting tidbit about the wheels, for some reason in other markets there are actually a shit ton of wheel designs to choose from. In the Hyundai group on FB someone showed their website (Norway) and there were maybe 6 different designs. So even if they don't make it to the U.S., you'd probably be able to fix the wheel problem with enough scheming & searching, but for a decent chunk of money because OEM wheels always cost as much as a human leg.
Human legs are also much easier to come by. Especially since the pandemic when you can’t get certain wheels.
@@BoomKing69 🤔 you may not be wrong
EV6 is also going to be sold by Kia's notoriously garbage dealer network. No chance in hell I'm buying another Kia - no matter how good the cars get - until they've completely overhauled the dealership experience. At this point I think it might require something on the scale of buying back all their existing dealership licenses and starting over.
@@deep.c I've heard the horror stories. Fortunately my Kia dealership has been the best experience I've ever had. It's a shame they can't be consistent. But yeah, I've gone through Nissans, a Mazda, a Honda and a Hyundai and my Kia dealer was my favorite. PERHAPS it was because I had a Stinger, and they have their people put an emphasis on those customers, but that's all I can speak for. Me. The dealership itself is nice too. Good showroom, good salespeople and it's always clean 👌 when I've gone & waited for my oil change.
So as long as they don't change, I'm cool buying another Kia.
@@deep.c I think that's the only weak point of Hyundai/Kia. They should indeed care about the dealer network.
Hyundai/Kia/Genesis are absolutely killing it right now. I really love the Mach-E, but I’d take this over that all day long.
10 years ago I would laugh at virtually anything that came from the brands, minus a genesis coupe of course. I have to respect the incredible effort they’ve put into rebranding themselves.
Also, I support the bench seat idea! 😂
2 million subscribers! Congrats guys!👍🍻🥳
One fun way to drive this car that I don't see many people talk a about is playing with the different levels of regenerative braking using the paddle shifters while driving. While i-pedal is nice for no thinking driving, you can have a lot of fun changing the levels where on hilly roads you can gain enough speed going up, switch to level 0 and the car can coast downhill and the momentum can take it back a good amount uphill without touching the drive pedal. Note that if you are at level 0 when stopped, the car will likely lurch forward when you take your foot off of the brake, so it's best to switch to one of the other levels that you find comfortable. It's just another new way to drive a car for people that want more control in how the car drivess.
Kudos to Hyundai for releasing something more innovative than anything I've seen (barring Tesla), in the last 10 years.
I love this design! for me, this design reminds me of the shelby omni from the 80s. if they were to make a hot hatch that looks like this it would be amazing!
In my opinion this is the most beautiful and well built EV at the moment.
Just the opposite in my opinion.
This video’s quality and production is incredible
i love this. i agree with james that it’s the best looking ev on sale short of a very few of the expensive luxury ones. i wish i could afford it
Great review gentlemen... I'm expecting my Ioniq 5 to arrive in March and I can hardly wait. Your review just underscores the fact that I made a great decision for my first EV.
yeah, if you're new here, this is a great automotive channel in my opinion
Your comic timing and hidden puns are amazing mate. 👏 great review.
This was a great review. Well done TH.
I love it when car reviewers say “relatively affordable” which means expensive.
that, or you're "relatively poor" ...
Thankfully this car is actually cheap for what it is
Been in love with this car since it was first revealed.
I'm honestly in love with this car 😍🖤
Imagine if a Hyundai brand started from scratch with this car, damn it really caught my eye
That IONIQ looks phenomenal. My goodness. I hear the sound of electric motors whirring in my future.
Great car overall. Fun to drive but also lots of room inside so it's practical.
It's very efficient (100 MPGe) and ultra cheap to charge at home ($6-$10), so you'll save $10-15k on fuel & maintenance over 5 yrs.
It also has a state of the art 800 volt charging system, so it has a very high fast charging system.
I think a lot of people will like this car, hope it sells well!
Exactly what I said the 1st time I saw this car- it has retro-modern vibes, like how would have seen futuristic car in the future. This is it , with the big squre LEDs, really nice and different looking like itself!
This is the best channel for new car tests in the rain. 🚗🌧 I think it follows these guys because it rarely rains in California.
Great review, guys! This car wasn't even on my radar until this video, but I think it looks amazing!
James always sounds so joyful and happy about that he is, in fact, James! :)
I saw my first one in person the other day and my GOD they look way cooler in person, already looking so cool in press
Reminds me of how the Audi TT's design impacted in the late-90s, yet perfectly Tesla'd up some.
Very _smart._
I've been really looking forward to this car and it is definitely ripe for the N/N-Line treatment if proven a successful model.
Yes, Albert N President of Hyundai has confirmed they're prototyping the N version for 2023 or 4.
This car is very aesthetically pleasing.
We're sorry, that is an incorrect answer. Please try again later.
I'm getting one of those since you didn't James! This review was the beginning of my interest in actually ordering one of these when it was first aired. I very much approve of you getting the century over this though, what an interestingly impressive choice, you just might be a genius
Bought this back in March vs the Tesla Model 3. Got it in AWD and base trim, for the same price as the Tesla. Loving it so far
Anything you'd change about it, or any trims you wish you'd sprung for?
@@teancoffee208 I would've waited just a bit longer and gone for the SEL tbh.
For things I'd change, the lack of a rear wiper is annoying. And non-Tesla fast charging is really not great yet. Also OTA updates are pretty rare, only got 2 since i got the car. Other than that, I can say it's still great 14 months later, no issues.
Patiently waiting for your review of EV6 GT line guys 😉
So glad to see this video. Wanted to see your opinions on this car. Still seems to be a best buy in this price range. This or the kia ev6, which i heard, feels a bit sporty
Had mine for a year now, still a brilliant car, practical, fast and comfortable, reliable, and everyone stares at it. Still have a z4m coupe for the giggles
i have to say- all my dream cars are gas engines, but i LOVE the way this car looks inside and outside.
I like where Hyundai is headed with this. As for best looking EV: I'd have to go with the Audi Etron GT (unfortunately in terms of specs it's not as great)
The Audi etron is like a 100k you can’t compare the two. This is the best looking main stream EV for the masses with a usable range and great recharge speed over the Audi
@@Superfastjellyfish669 Um... yes you can compare any two cars in terms of looks. Sure, they're not in the same price bracket and not catered towards the same crowd, but that doesn't make the cheaper or more expensive one any prettier (subjectively). It's also just an opinion (I personally prefer the Taycan over the Etron in terms of EV looks, but I also really like the looks of this Hyundai as well)
Etron gt is like 150k how u gon compare it to 50k car. ofc it has better looking desgin and spec
@@dlwoans5672 I can compare by saying this Hyundai in my eyes looks better than the Audi, but a Taycan looks better than this Hyundai. Just my personal opinion, and everyone has different tastes. An expensive car can be ugly; again, just because it's more expensive doesn't make it prettier.
@@Superfastjellyfish669 This isn't really for the masses either. No one is spending over $35K for a Kia or Hyundai that's not a Telluride. The closest EV for the masses is either the Honda e or the Nissan Leaf, both of which peak out around 35K for high trims.
Great review again guys! This (and its Kia brother) looks like a really good EV option for the money here in Canada, and I'm a model 3 performance owner.
Here is the only problem that this car has: You need to suffer the Hyundai/Kia dealership experience to own one. A family member of mine tried to buy a Kona EV a year or so ago. The dealer took a deposit and said to wait 6 months or more for one to come. Fair enough, there is clear demand for EVs. 8 months went by and the dealer seemed unsure about when it would come or what options were included in the order. The salesperson who made the original deal was long gone and the overall interest on the part of the dealership to complete the sale was in a word, meh. She got her deposit back and ordered a LR model 3 which came in 6 weeks.
Car dealerships don't want to sell EVs. About a third to a half of their revenue comes from the service department. EVs have fewer moving parts and require less regular maintenance, meaning less money to the dealer on an ongoing basis. As good as this car looks and I think it looks like a good car at a good price, I predict wait times will be astronomical and dealers will be lukewarm at best to promote and sell them.
If you're going to hold onto your next car for years, then in this new EV market we live in, you will be willing to wait 9-12 months. Especially when such an ionic 5 that has a better build quality than a Tesla MY, cool retro vibe, cost $20-30k less! ($30k less with the government rebates. $80k AWD MY vs $50k AWD 5, in CAD.)
That intro was brilliant. You get a like immediately when you have a sense of humor.
Excellent gents, sorry I missed you out here in SD. Next time!
we have the EV6 in Germany and I can say the Car looks sick, it´s very wide and low and has a stiffer suspension as the Hyundai.
I can’t wait for them to make a smaller version of this retro/modern looking vehicle! My fiancé is going to need a vehicle soon, and this just seems a bit large for what she needs, but a vehicle with the wheelbase of perhaps an X3 or even a smaller size of a Golf GTI would be perfect for her! This car’s just brilliant!
We all have different preferences, I'm looking at it wishing it was larger and higher off the ground.
Ioniq 6 is just about to hit the shelves. Now would be the best time to pre-order one if you like what you find in the Ioniq 5 but want it in a smaller package
@@JT-ic9mpKia’s EV9 is coming out so Hyundai should have their counterpart soon as well.
what an intro! well done. I'm subscribing.
I was riding my electric scooter downtown and seen one of these. I had to apply the brakes hard and check it out. Very Clean EV with sick taillights amazing interior.
