It's hilarious how much all of the reviewers just absolutely love this car, the serious and the casual, it's just universally loved. It's just 100% video game fun 😄
The only reason people like it is because of the 4.5 second to 60mph this SUV can achieve. Most reviewers aren't accustomed to that kind of acceleration so it makes for a very one sided experience. Sure it's definitely quick off the line no question, but 0-60 isn't what I care about with performance. I look for strong 40-120 times.

I honestly take breaks more often than that anyways and if low density Canada can do it with a fast charge network Europe certainly can
Hyundai is just knocking it out of the park with features, design, and price the last 7 years. Still extremely sad it's not a manual ICE. I missed out on the Veloster N.
When I saw the power figure and the N badge when this came out, I came to the realisation that Hyundai had figured out how to do electric: make it hilarious when you want it to be, and just a standard grey box on wheels when you don't. They *get* it.
Driving a normal Ioniq 5 - Love it. Feels premium, has space and if in mood you can throw it around the corner no problem. Fell in love, bought, never regretted it. I love the blue of the N series though 🙂
I don't even get why are they using such stupid and impractical design. Quite a number of cars had 'credit card-sized/shaped' keys (slightly ticker just enough to fit the backup key) more than a decade ago, why return to this impracticality?! It makes zero sense in the modern age. That being said, maybe separating the backup key from the 'real' key serves the purpose to leave the big key behind and carry only the backup in case your phone dies as you ought to be able to open it with your phone as well.
I own a Kia EV6 GT which is the sister car to the 5N. Powertrain is the same, seats are the same, gauge cluster screen is the same. It is stupid fast, and looks more like a space ship rather than an egg. If you can buy one used, do it. It's a 65k car that I bought for 39k with only 6800 miles on it.
@@DJDekgit no not at all. The car is a racecar it's designed to be beaten on. I beat the piss out of mine and keep it topped up at 100% every day. Where did you hear that the EV batteries only last 100k miles? There are people with over 150k on their ev6s and the computer is reporting a degradation of only 2-5%. That's amazing. Anyone who tells you the batteries will go bad is just fearmongering
@@Keyan9 Im saying thats the minimum they SHOULD last. I worry about longevity of buying a used electric car in general. What would need replaced sooner vs buying a new one and at the same age point would it need similar repairs or not. As much as I would LOVE the N, I don;t know if I can give up that much range for a higher price that I definitely cant afford new.
@@DJDekgit since the computer can report to an obd scanner what the battery degradation is, when buying a used EV, just bring a scanner or bring it to a mechanic and have them check that data point.
@@Keyan9 Topping up an NMC battery to 100% every day is the worst possible thing you can do it. Taxi drivers who've done this have wrecked their batteries in
My dad is a VP at HMMA and I sent him this to let him know how all the hard work him and the team do is showing. Although I don't think his plant is making these right now. Anyways, keep making awesome videos! Thank you guys for your videos!
I would be willing to bet $1000 this was a conscious choice. The pixel lights on the ioniq 5 are definitely a conscious because they are a legitimate draw for some people who liked the old rectangular sealed beam headlights
Saw a review on some YT channel (can't remember which one) He said the Sim gear/rev sound was so stupid, but he loves it so much that he could never drive another EV without missing it!
at that point i would love if EV Manufacturers went all in & give me actual Sci-Fi engine sound effects, C'mon gimme the Jetsons' car, or the TIE Fighter, or the Initial D's Engine+EuroBeat, a train Locomotive would be hilarious
It's mandatory to install speakers in most places for fake noise to prevent low speed pedestrian deaths so why not go all the way and use them like this?

Whenever I need a new car def going to be lookin gat Hyundai, they just seem like the only manufacture that actually gets what the consumer wants and isn't making dumb little mistakes.
oh god, the lack of interpolation on the engine sounds makes it sound like a playstation 1 game. They should reach out to AngeTheGreat and license his engine simulator for use in electric cars :D
Who would've thunk you can have a fun car that's also convenient and fits real people and luggage. Love the Tucson we have rn in the family but this is honestly dream car for me. I will also settle for the regular Ioniq 5, but the N color is just fucking amazing.
I love this series, hope they eventually go into things like vespas, mopeds, bicycles and motorbikes! I guess you can't make a video per moped or whatever, but maybe a top 5/10 style? With the top 10 mopeds/vespas to get, top motorbikes, etc.
Actually quite a lot of Rimac tech in there probably. They invested early and still have some ownership in Rimac Technology (not Bugatti Rimac I believe)
As a hot hatch enthusiast who’s owned a MK7 GTI and now I own an FK8 Type R, the Ioniq 5N is actually incredibly fun and fast. Definitely not a car I’d own as my only vehicle, but would be a kick a** second car as a daily for commuting to work.
I had fun just watching you drive, so I bet actually driving it must be awesome. Love the customisability and even the fake shifter, if it's fun why not. Looking forward to the Hyundai N vision 74
I actually love the idea of a simulated gear shifter and fake engine noises. I would love an electric car for the superior performance and fuel savings, but I would miss the fun of driving a manual transmission and hearing the sounds of the engine. I hope they add even more engine sound profiles from honda civic to ford pickup to lambo
If you dont live in Norway or something the savings are by FAR out weighted by evs being overpriced. If you live in Germany for example. An ev would make zero sense for saving money. Like seriously. How about getting a car for 30k that uses a 1000$ of fuel a year Instead of that 50k ev that uses 500$. Be honest with yourself. If you want a ev you simply want one. The majority of Evs in my country are company vehicles. Why? Government subsidies checks. Those are pretty big, big enough for ecs to make sense for savings.
@@OutOfNameIdeas2I mean this is a sport/racing EVs. Ppl here who want this is definitely mainly because they WANT rather than NEED it though. Another review mentioned that this is actually racing specs so you can use this as an actual track car and that makes it an actual killer deal given track vehicles aren't street usable and need specialized fuel
@@mcslender2965 agreed. But no its not a track car. Its too heavy. Its still just a road car. Its made to be sporty for an ev sure. But by no means is it an actual track car.
Why do people talk about a vehicle with a range of 220+ as if it has a range of 40 miles? The vehicles range is enough for the VAST amount of people's daily driving.
Yes but a car needs to be versatile when it comes to the things you can do range wise as standard. So like a gas cars, you need to be able to drive to and from work or maybe even super market. But you also need to be able to take longer trips and drive hundreds of km without thinking about how much % you have in the tank, again like a gas cars. I am all for electric cars, but currently I have a gas car and I never have to think about how much gas I have in a tank because it can fit so much benzine in it. That, alongside the fact that these super charging stations are not everywhere and are still in the process of being at every charging station is what stops me from buying one at the moment. Unfortunately right now, only the most most expensive cars like Tesla (and even more Lucid) that come the closest to a gas cars in terms of range. Hopefully that will develop more in the upcoming years for cheaper cars as well :)
@@emiel255 issue 1 - you drive ~110mi in one direction. you can STILL drive ~110mi home. and charge. issue 2 - you drive ~220mi in one direction. i *GUARANTEE* you will pass a charger in those miles. btw, neither 1 or 2 are an issue...
@@dobrzpe I’m not saying you I want find a charging station I said that I want a super charger at every charging station which is now not the case. I don’t want to be standing there for 30+ minutes if I’m not home and need to charge. It should as close as gassing up your gas car as one can get. I just wish we would go to a car trend where we can get the closest to a gas car as possible when it comes to range and charging speed And I like to do road trips and I don’t want to stop every time to charge. I like to be able to drive for hundreds of km without having to stop (or maybe go to the toilet at a gas station and that’s it) instead of waiting for a long time for my battery to charge because there aren’t any super fast chargers
They are the only company making an ev that a petrol head would love.... the Fake gear changes are huge... people say the noise makes a difference but its the feeling of a gear box that people feel
That was quite a flip in opinion from "simulated engine sounds for an electric car, so stupid and unnecesary" to "still stupid and unnecesary, but actually kinda fun as a gimmic"
The fact that this car does not offer electric seats is just a joke. Yeah yeah sporty car bla bla. It‘s 2.5 tons. Just add it. My girlfriend is more than a head shorter than me. Memory seats are a must 🙄 especially since the normal Ioniq 5 offers them
you can lease through Hyundai Finance and get the rebate - whether you qualify for it or not! you can also get any state-specific incentives as well. mine was $10k off MSRP! then just get a loan at the end of the lease. (or pay it off...)
As an owner of 5N, who actually drives at the track pretty hard, this is not for someone who’s just looking for a fun EV on the street. Unless you are planning to drive on a track, you’re better off with other cheaper EV that can do 95% of what 5N does at fraction of the cost. Only reason I bought 5N is to replace my track car(c6 z06) and my daily(Model Y LR) to make space for motorcycles 😂. Yes. The Ioniq 5N is slower and less engaging than c6 z06 and has less range than Model Y LR but it can fulfill both role pretty damn well.
The Ioniq 5, in this or the normal version, is superb... But goodness, can I just get a nice wagon EV? I don't have the money or patience to buy a normal wagon, for the limited options there are in North America, and take the electric guts from another EV to turn the normal car into one. Enough of the SUVs, enough of the crossovers, *gimme wagon EV.*
@@EnricoBrandt I kid you not, I was watching a short from CarWow earlier today that went over the Skoda Superb. That's one very well appointed vehicle. I'd buy it in a heartbeat as a wagon EV.
It’s even better looking in person. The blue doesn’t come out good enough on camera it’s so light and textured in person it’s hard to explain but it looks so good
@@sandorski56 Hyundai recently tried charging two different people 60k after running over "Debris" on the road with nothing more than minor visible damage. Look it up. Your insurance "Buys" the battery, therefore totaling the car. And to make things even worse, as soon as hyundai says the battery isnt "Road safe", they contact your insurance immediately and you take over full liability on the vehicle driving it off the lot.
I've been hyping up the ionic 5 and 6 N for about 2 and a half years now. it's great to see the love from all the reviewers... But 2 years ago everyone laughed at the concept
@@sismofytter Yeah, and they're not that big. Like they're barely bigger than a VW GTI - 6 inches taller and wider, 17 inches longer. Hyundai only classifies it as an SUV because they have no other hatchback options after killing the Veloster.
@@DarthVader-dc5efThat’s a massive difference??? 1.5 entire feet is huge. The Ioniq 5 n is 1 inch shorter lengthwise and 3 inches shorter heightwise than a BMW X3. Don’t tell me you actually think an X3 is a hot hatch.
At first I didn't like the fake sounds but once you mentioned about enjoying racing games I was like.. maybe it's not that bad when you think about it like that
They aren't really "unreasonably" expensive, they are just expensive. R&D and manufacturing vehicles cost a ton of money, the price point makes sense, even if it's wildly out of the range of "affordable" for a lot of people.
For real anyone who buys this is a real sucker: if you wanna be this close to the edge of innovation it is gonna cost you and in a year or two the new one will make you wish you waited. I can’t afford a ioniq and my 4090 payments.
I'm there with you. I live paycheck to paycheck. I drive a regular cab '96 Tacoma right now. It cost me $2,200. I've spent about $5K on keeping it going over the last 7 years. The thought of spending $66,000 on a car is hard to even imagine for me.
What is unreasonably expensive about this car? Electric motors are expensive. Batteries are expensive. Modern cars with all the safety features are expensive, even when you're using tried and true internal combustion engines, now out on top of that all the extra stuff that Hyundai did for this vehicle. And they could probably sell this for $40,000. But then how the hell are they going to fund all the engineers to develop more vehicles? If it's not the right vehicle for you then just don't buy it
Get one used, EV's currently depreciate something fierce, my polestar 2 was ~$51K new, or $25K lightly used after 2 years & 30K mi. (Granted I have no plans on selling so the depreciation doesn't bother me.)
Hey Alex: a small suggestion to improve your reviews. Make sure you mention your own HEIGHT when you are showcasing both front and rear seat space....It's a small but IMO vital piece of info for everyone. :)
Isn't this the car that shut down during an update and wouldn't let you drive... pass. Oh yeah, they also charged an entire cars worth to replace the battery!
I will NEVER buy an all electric vehicle until the manufactures start posting charging times and ranges at low temperatures. For example what is the charge time and range at -10, -20, -30, -40. Yes I understand in Vancouver it doesn't matter.
I have owned EV's for 7 years and have charged them on public chargers less than 10 times in all those years. You charge when you sleep, and have full battery every morning. With the latest Tesla's, you can go over 1000 kilometers on 20 minutes of charging given you leave from home fully charged, so what's really the issue? Edit: And I live in the cold part of Norway. EV's during winter is epic! Always starts and heats up in a few minutes. The range cap due to cold climate ia heavily over exaggerated by EV haters. You basically do not feel any limitations
Why do you need to know the charge times at -40? Why are you going over 200 km when it's that cold? Also where do you even live where it gets that cold?
@villipend Why? If you navigate to a supercharger, you automatically enable preheating of the battery. At least on proper EVs. Never had slow charging on Tesla's at least, and I have charged at -30. Why exactly are you constructing bullshit scenarios, lol? With EVs, you wake up with preconditioned batteries, heated steering wheel, seats and coupe, loving your life, regardless if it's -50 degrees

Hyundai is just knocking it out of the park with features, design, and price the last 7 years. Still extremely sad it's not a manual ICE. I missed out on the Veloster N.
When I saw the power figure and the N badge when this came out, I came to the realisation that Hyundai had figured out how to do electric: make it hilarious when you want it to be, and just a standard grey box on wheels when you don't. They *get* it.
Driving a normal Ioniq 5 - Love it. Feels premium, has space and if in mood you can throw it around the corner no problem. Fell in love, bought, never regretted it. I love the blue of the N series though 🙂
That's weird. My Ioniq 5, not an N, has the backup key in the fob. Wonder why they did it like that for the N.
They started doing that recently. My 2024 Santa Fe has the same backup key it's very stupid.
They changed the key fob design in the new models. No one likes the new egg looking ones
I don't even get why are they using such stupid and impractical design. Quite a number of cars had 'credit card-sized/shaped' keys (slightly ticker just enough to fit the backup key) more than a decade ago, why return to this impracticality?! It makes zero sense in the modern age. That being said, maybe separating the backup key from the 'real' key serves the purpose to leave the big key behind and carry only the backup in case your phone dies as you ought to be able to open it with your phone as well.
@@sungbaek3526it's especially bad for the ioniq 6, they colored it in such a way it's the ugliest thing I've ever seen

Honda Driver cosplay 👏👏😄
Old, worn-out folks stuck reminiscing about cars from 30 years ago. 🤭
I own a Kia EV6 GT which is the sister car to the 5N. Powertrain is the same, seats are the same, gauge cluster screen is the same. It is stupid fast, and looks more like a space ship rather than an egg. If you can buy one used, do it. It's a 65k car that I bought for 39k with only 6800 miles on it.
Do you have concerns about the car being "beaten" on by previous owner(s) for that much mileage? ideally the battery is rated for atleast 100k miles.
@@DJDekgit no not at all. The car is a racecar it's designed to be beaten on. I beat the piss out of mine and keep it topped up at 100% every day. Where did you hear that the EV batteries only last 100k miles? There are people with over 150k on their ev6s and the computer is reporting a degradation of only 2-5%. That's amazing. Anyone who tells you the batteries will go bad is just fearmongering
@@Keyan9 Im saying thats the minimum they SHOULD last. I worry about longevity of buying a used electric car in general. What would need replaced sooner vs buying a new one and at the same age point would it need similar repairs or not.
As much as I would LOVE the N, I don;t know if I can give up that much range for a higher price that I definitely cant afford new.
@@DJDekgit since the computer can report to an obd scanner what the battery degradation is, when buying a used EV, just bring a scanner or bring it to a mechanic and have them check that data point.
@@Keyan9 Topping up an NMC battery to 100% every day is the worst possible thing you can do it. Taxi drivers who've done this have wrecked their batteries in
My dad is a VP at HMMA and I sent him this to let him know how all the hard work him and the team do is showing. Although I don't think his plant is making these right now. Anyways, keep making awesome videos! Thank you guys for your videos!
Seems like he REALLY REALLY loves this car.. Though Really enjoyed his enthusiasm for the vehicle
idk if the rims looking like a binary tree is a conscious choice to go along with the pixel lights but I fuckign love it.
I would be willing to bet $1000 this was a conscious choice. The pixel lights on the ioniq 5 are definitely a conscious because they are a legitimate draw for some people who liked the old rectangular sealed beam headlights
Okay calling the boost button the "grin boost" is insanely clever and funny
Saw a review on some YT channel (can't remember which one) He said the Sim gear/rev sound was so stupid, but he loves it so much that he could never drive another EV without missing it!
at that point i would love if EV Manufacturers went all in & give me actual Sci-Fi engine sound effects, C'mon gimme the Jetsons' car, or the TIE Fighter, or the Initial D's Engine+EuroBeat, a train Locomotive would be hilarious
It's mandatory to install speakers in most places for fake noise to prevent low speed pedestrian deaths so why not go all the way and use them like this?

I really love the way Hyundai designs their EVs. If I was going to drop my GT86 for anything, it'd be one of these...
Starting at $66k!?... Oof I never thought the day I couldn't afford a Hyundai...
8:12 really gives the vibes that he has actually been playing around with
Sounds awesome, but they should drop the "N torque, N pedal, race, etc." it already sounded terrible in the 2000s when everything was "i" something
I'm not anywhere close to a car guy, but Alex's joy was infectious here
Didn't know Comical could be a description for a sports car.
Petition to give Alex his own car channel!
He has the educational background to know what he's talking, he's clearly passionate, and car videos are growing on RUclips!
Whenever I need a new car def going to be lookin gat Hyundai, they just seem like the only manufacture that actually gets what the consumer wants and isn't making dumb little mistakes.
oh god, the lack of interpolation on the engine sounds makes it sound like a playstation 1 game. They should reach out to AngeTheGreat and license his engine simulator for use in electric cars :D
I dig the car reviews here
the racing game analogy is a very good point, you're still having fun
I don’t even care about cars, I’m just watching Alex having fun with them.
VW are you listening? this is what we want in a gti-e. Those paddle shifters are a trip
Yay Alex and Cars are back!
I own an Elantra N, and I would actually give up ICE if I could afford one of those. Absolutely amazing vehicle!
I'm usually just here for computers, not really a car person
But damn it was fun to watch Alex talk about this car with this energy
These really should be on their own channel, I want an LTT Top Gear esc channel, sort of sells them short on short circuit
Who would've thunk you can have a fun car that's also convenient and fits real people and luggage. Love the Tucson we have rn in the family but this is honestly dream car for me. I will also settle for the regular Ioniq 5, but the N color is just fucking amazing.
I love this series, hope they eventually go into things like vespas, mopeds, bicycles and motorbikes! I guess you can't make a video per moped or whatever, but maybe a top 5/10 style? With the top 10 mopeds/vespas to get, top motorbikes, etc.
Actually quite a lot of Rimac tech in there probably. They invested early and still have some ownership in Rimac Technology (not Bugatti Rimac I believe)
2:05 the defeated little deflation of the backpack is hilarious
The Ioniq 5N is the best EV out there and will likely be overtaken by the Ioniq 6N or the Genesis EV supercar.
As a hot hatch enthusiast who’s owned a MK7 GTI and now I own an FK8 Type R, the Ioniq 5N is actually incredibly fun and fast. Definitely not a car I’d own as my only vehicle, but would be a kick a** second car as a daily for commuting to work.
Please include how tall Alex is when showing the legroom
and only show it in metric so all the U.S. viewers gripe in the comments.
He's six feet tall.
tried it, it was sooooooooo cool . disneyland everyday if you want that car
thats literally how my brother in-law had his seat in his Honda... LMAO
I had fun just watching you drive, so I bet actually driving it must be awesome.
Love the customisability and even the fake shifter, if it's fun why not.
Looking forward to the Hyundai N vision 74
I actually love the idea of a simulated gear shifter and fake engine noises. I would love an electric car for the superior performance and fuel savings, but I would miss the fun of driving a manual transmission and hearing the sounds of the engine. I hope they add even more engine sound profiles from honda civic to ford pickup to lambo
They can easily add H pattern manual shifter like sim racing. LMAO.
If you dont live in Norway or something the savings are by FAR out weighted by evs being overpriced. If you live in Germany for example. An ev would make zero sense for saving money. Like seriously. How about getting a car for 30k that uses a 1000$ of fuel a year
Instead of that 50k ev that uses 500$.
Be honest with yourself. If you want a ev you simply want one. The majority of Evs in my country are company vehicles. Why? Government subsidies checks. Those are pretty big, big enough for ecs to make sense for savings.
@@OutOfNameIdeas2I mean this is a sport/racing EVs. Ppl here who want this is definitely mainly because they WANT rather than NEED it though. Another review mentioned that this is actually racing specs so you can use this as an actual track car and that makes it an actual killer deal given track vehicles aren't street usable and need specialized fuel
@@mcslender2965 agreed. But no its not a track car. Its too heavy. Its still just a road car. Its made to be sporty for an ev sure. But by no means is it an actual track car.
@@OutOfNameIdeas2 someone else here mentioned that they actually have this car for both track and street purpose and it worked out well.
The more I watch, the more Top Gear/Grand Tour vibes I'm getting from Alex.
Really hoping that they gonna make their own channels for cars
Why do people talk about a vehicle with a range of 220+ as if it has a range of 40 miles?
The vehicles range is enough for the VAST amount of people's daily driving.
Yes but a car needs to be versatile when it comes to the things you can do range wise as standard. So like a gas cars, you need to be able to drive to and from work or maybe even super market. But you also need to be able to take longer trips and drive hundreds of km without thinking about how much % you have in the tank, again like a gas cars.
I am all for electric cars, but currently I have a gas car and I never have to think about how much gas I have in a tank because it can fit so much benzine in it. That, alongside the fact that these super charging stations are not everywhere and are still in the process of being at every charging station is what stops me from buying one at the moment.
Unfortunately right now, only the most most expensive cars like Tesla (and even more Lucid) that come the closest to a gas cars in terms of range. Hopefully that will develop more in the upcoming years for cheaper cars as well :)
you are SO right.
@@emiel255 issue 1 - you drive ~110mi in one direction. you can STILL drive ~110mi home. and charge.
issue 2 - you drive ~220mi in one direction. i *GUARANTEE* you will pass a charger in those miles.
btw, neither 1 or 2 are an issue...
@@dobrzpe I’m not saying you I want find a charging station I said that I want a super charger at every charging station which is now not the case. I don’t want to be standing there for 30+ minutes if I’m not home and need to charge. It should as close as gassing up your gas car as one can get. I just wish we would go to a car trend where we can get the closest to a gas car as possible when it comes to range and charging speed
And I like to do road trips and I don’t want to stop every time to charge. I like to be able to drive for hundreds of km without having to stop (or maybe go to the toilet at a gas station and that’s it) instead of waiting for a long time for my battery to charge because there aren’t any super fast chargers
@emiel255 did u just say tesla is luxurious? And ioniq 5 long range model has long range as well. U don't really seem to be well informed.
They are the only company making an ev that a petrol head would love.... the
Fake gear changes are huge... people say the noise makes a difference but its the feeling of a gear box that people feel
wow, looks fun! can you hear the fake exhaust from the outside? I hope you guys get the chance to review the N Vision 74 if ever allowed to do so.
Yes speakers outside 🙂
You can turn the exhaust sounds that play on the external speakers on and off
That was quite a flip in opinion from "simulated engine sounds for an electric car, so stupid and unnecesary" to "still stupid and unnecesary, but actually kinda fun as a gimmic"
I got the chance to ride along in one of these on a track with a pro driver, the grip and handling is nuts
Great video! I love these EV reviews and can't wait for the next one!
11:22 we may hear the sound if you stop moaning everytime u press the button😂
Man these beam ng updates are getting wild
The fact that this car does not offer electric seats is just a joke. Yeah yeah sporty car bla bla. It‘s 2.5 tons. Just add it. My girlfriend is more than a head shorter than me. Memory seats are a must 🙄 especially since the normal Ioniq 5 offers them
Your gf shouldn't be driving this lol
Bro just lean forward and push the seat back then drop it down if y'all sharing cars don't get it get the EV6 🤔i think its got electric seats
I personally prefer the manual sliding, I hate waiting for the electric seats to get into position.
@ValentinM97 soft
Could just be an optional deal
Love your work on Parks & Rec as well as the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.

I'm waiting for Kia/Hyundai to finally finish the Georgia plant so I can buy one of their EVs, made in North America, with a $7500 rebate.
you can lease through Hyundai Finance and get the rebate - whether you qualify for it or not! you can also get any state-specific incentives as well. mine was $10k off MSRP! then just get a loan at the end of the lease. (or pay it off...)
I have owned an i30 diesel now for 15 years and never missed a beat, but dam tempted for an upgrade
As an owner of 5N, who actually drives at the track pretty hard, this is not for someone who’s just looking for a fun EV on the street. Unless you are planning to drive on a track, you’re better off with other cheaper EV that can do 95% of what 5N does at fraction of the cost. Only reason I bought 5N is to replace my track car(c6 z06) and my daily(Model Y LR) to make space for motorcycles 😂.
Yes. The Ioniq 5N is slower and less engaging than c6 z06 and has less range than Model Y LR but it can fulfill both role pretty damn well.
@@z06yellowcorvette52 i dont track mine but still happy 😄
I love that they chose the engine noise from the Pole Position arcade game as the fake engine sound.
Hyundai has taken the torch from BMW at this point.
BMW stans incoming ;)
@@jivewig what torch? BMWs sucked for a while now
No coincidence considering the director of the n division is ex BMW m division
I recall them poaching key staff from VW / Porsche
And at around half the price too
I ended up getting the plug-in hybrid Tuscon but I strongly considered the Ioniq. Hyundai has been killing the game lately and I'm here for it.
The Ioniq 5, in this or the normal version, is superb... But goodness, can I just get a nice wagon EV? I don't have the money or patience to buy a normal wagon, for the limited options there are in North America, and take the electric guts from another EV to turn the normal car into one.
Enough of the SUVs, enough of the crossovers, *gimme wagon EV.*
Skoda Superb EV?
@@EnricoBrandt I kid you not, I was watching a short from CarWow earlier today that went over the Skoda Superb. That's one very well appointed vehicle. I'd buy it in a heartbeat as a wagon EV.
It’s even better looking in person. The blue doesn’t come out good enough on camera it’s so light and textured in person it’s hard to explain but it looks so good
why did it take you this long to review the car
I bet the facelift version will also have good range, like Porsche did when they figured out how to achieve good power on more efficient engines
You should look up what hyundai charges for a replacement battery. People make fun of tesla for $10-15k. Hyundai out here charging 30-60k.
No one buys a battery.
@@sandorski56 Hyundai recently tried charging two different people 60k after running over "Debris" on the road with nothing more than minor visible damage. Look it up. Your insurance "Buys" the battery, therefore totaling the car.
And to make things even worse, as soon as hyundai says the battery isnt "Road safe", they contact your insurance immediately and you take over full liability on the vehicle driving it off the lot.
@@Maniac1551 Like I said, no one buys batteries. They buy cars. If a repair is too much, get a different car.
10 year/100,000 mi warranty.
@@dobrzpe The point is that if you run over literally anything, they will classify the repair as "Out of warranty" and you will be footing the bill.
I've been hyping up the ionic 5 and 6 N for about 2 and a half years now. it's great to see the love from all the reviewers... But 2 years ago everyone laughed at the concept

Certainly a hatchback or wagon. Even crossover is the wrong word for it.
@@SEVENTEENPOINT1 I had to stop watching at that point.
its not an SUV, but also its too big for a hot hatch, there is no category it fits perfectly into
No a hot hatch is small, Ford Focus sized. The Ionic 5 is a SUV that looks like a hatchback, it's about the same size as a BMW X3.
@@camoxide Focus Estate(Wagon) is the same length as the Ioniq 5. So I think wagon is a perfect category for it.

@@DarthVader-dc5efmore SUV than a hatchback (The size and height makes the difference)
@@sismofytter Yeah, and they're not that big. Like they're barely bigger than a VW GTI - 6 inches taller and wider, 17 inches longer. Hyundai only classifies it as an SUV because they have no other hatchback options after killing the Veloster.
@@DarthVader-dc5efThat’s a massive difference??? 1.5 entire feet is huge. The Ioniq 5 n is 1 inch shorter lengthwise and 3 inches shorter heightwise than a BMW X3. Don’t tell me you actually think an X3 is a hot hatch.

At first I didn't like the fake sounds but once you mentioned about enjoying racing games I was like.. maybe it's not that bad when you think about it like that
yea, when i first saw a video about it, i thought the same. until you get IN one - it's just absolutely FUN!
Yea I guess this is my cope with cars with fake sounds now
I’ll stick with my 20 year old POS Pontiac because I’m extremely poor and cars are unreasonably expensive, thank you very much.
They aren't really "unreasonably" expensive, they are just expensive. R&D and manufacturing vehicles cost a ton of money, the price point makes sense, even if it's wildly out of the range of "affordable" for a lot of people.
For real anyone who buys this is a real sucker: if you wanna be this close to the edge of innovation it is gonna cost you and in a year or two the new one will make you wish you waited. I can’t afford a ioniq and my 4090 payments.
I'm there with you. I live paycheck to paycheck. I drive a regular cab '96 Tacoma right now. It cost me $2,200. I've spent about $5K on keeping it going over the last 7 years. The thought of spending $66,000 on a car is hard to even imagine for me.
What is unreasonably expensive about this car? Electric motors are expensive. Batteries are expensive. Modern cars with all the safety features are expensive, even when you're using tried and true internal combustion engines, now out on top of that all the extra stuff that Hyundai did for this vehicle. And they could probably sell this for $40,000. But then how the hell are they going to fund all the engineers to develop more vehicles? If it's not the right vehicle for you then just don't buy it
Get one used, EV's currently depreciate something fierce, my polestar 2 was ~$51K new, or $25K lightly used after 2 years & 30K mi. (Granted I have no plans on selling so the depreciation doesn't bother me.)
The Dark Grey color on the car is only missing a red 7 and you have a perfect vehicle for cosplaying Shepard from Mass Effect.
Battery Assembly is $30K all by itself. No thank you.
... check out how much a similar performing C8 replacement engine is...😊
Hey Alex: a small suggestion to improve your reviews. Make sure you mention your own HEIGHT when you are showcasing both front and rear seat space....It's a small but IMO vital piece of info for everyone. :)
Isn't this the car that shut down during an update and wouldn't let you drive... pass. Oh yeah, they also charged an entire cars worth to replace the battery!
its the same case with bmw x3, modern cars and their ECUs..
@abh2188 Just horrible. Why do we allow manufacturers to do as they please.
have the normal 2022 version and it is the best car to own.
I will NEVER buy an all electric vehicle until the manufactures start posting charging times and ranges at low temperatures. For example what is the charge time and range at -10, -20, -30, -40. Yes I understand in Vancouver it doesn't matter.
I have owned EV's for 7 years and have charged them on public chargers less than 10 times in all those years. You charge when you sleep, and have full battery every morning.
With the latest Tesla's, you can go over 1000 kilometers on 20 minutes of charging given you leave from home fully charged, so what's really the issue?
Edit: And I live in the cold part of Norway. EV's during winter is epic! Always starts and heats up in a few minutes. The range cap due to cold climate ia heavily over exaggerated by EV haters. You basically do not feel any limitations
@@apekatt2007 Then the manufacturers should post the information. What's the issue?
Why do you need to know the charge times at -40? Why are you going over 200 km when it's that cold? Also where do you even live where it gets that cold?
@villipend Why? If you navigate to a supercharger, you automatically enable preheating of the battery. At least on proper EVs. Never had slow charging on Tesla's at least, and I have charged at -30.
Why exactly are you constructing bullshit scenarios, lol? With EVs, you wake up with preconditioned batteries, heated steering wheel, seats and coupe, loving your life, regardless if it's -50 degrees
