Both Ioniq 5 and EV6 designs hide their size really well, when I first saw the pictures I thought they were small hatchback sized and was really surprised seeing them in real life and how big they actually were
The Ioniq 5 is currently my "really, really want it" car. I always wanted a Lancia Delta HF Integrale back in the day, and this looks quite similar to it. Love the technology aspects of the Ioniq 5 too, with the Kia EV6 also a strikingly good looking car, both being part of the same company, they are offering serious competition to the likes of Tesla/Polestar/Rivian etc. Funny video too Mat ;-)
Early 90’s I had for 8 years a Lancia Delta HF Int 16v. I instantly loved the fantastic look of the Ioniq 5, indeed Delta like. I want to go EV with this car.
The guy who designed the Ioniq 5 stated the Integrale as his favourite car, hence the resemblance. Apparently, he also liked Tetris...so perhaps that's part of the lighting cues.
Zak - like you I have a AWD Ultimate on order and I too am worried about the range. Dont know whether you noticed but in Mat's video when he was on the motorway it was showing 1.6M/KWh!!!!! Still the 220KW charging should compensate to a degree.
@@Lyndalewinder I have the premium 217bhp 73kwh which has a bigger range than the awd apparently.( you lose range having awd from what I have read). I have done a 230mile round trip in mine which needed a good full charge after.
I have driven 3000 miles in my Ioniq 5 now (Denmark) and I love the seats. I used to get a sore lower back with both my ID.3 and e-Niro, but I can easily drive for 8 hours in one day without any trouble. I haven't had other cars where I could do that.
I liked your review. I have this car for past 3 months now. And I absolutely love it. It is so comfy, fast, spacious, luxurious, quite and has all the features which a car must have.
The ioniq was called the 45 and it does kind of look the same. It also pays tribute to the Giorgetto Giugiaro designed Pony. They did an amazing job with the design.
It's hilariously that - due to the Ioniqs styling and proportions - Matt looks like a small boy standing next to a compact hatchback in the last shot. 🤣
@@NordicDartfrog The Pony, The Golf Mk1 and the Lancia Delta all were made by Giugiaro, so that´s why the car looks really similar to all those 3 cars.
@@NordicDartfrog Well, you can think that if you like but unless you’re the person who designed the car it’s simply not. Person above is right as Hyundai have said it’s inspired by the Pony themselves. Oh, and to me the Golf Mk1 was a tribute to the Honda Civic Mk1 that preceded it!

I’ve got the Ioniq 5 Project 45. Excellent car full stop. I find the seats very comfortable. And the handles are powered on my version - they open as you approach the car with key in pocket. Solar PV roof is a cool gimmick
@@CanOfRabbitHoles morning. I’ve had the Ioniq 5 for 3 years. Brilliant car. It’s fine back now at the end of 3 year PCP. I’ve ordered a replacement via salary sacrifice - an Ioniq 5 N model. Other than delayed a few weeks, I’m very excited. Wouldn’t go back to an ICE car
@@CanOfRabbitHoles yes definitely. I think my 3 year old P45 Ioniq 5 would have made an excellent 2nd hand car. Mine was the Digital Teal Green, with the cream interior. Loads of “toys” inc head up display, heated and cooled front seats and electric everything. I’d encourage you to test drive one.
It's a good review in terms of detail. But Matt it's unbearable to watch. Took me 3 days to get through it all. I'll subscribe and return to the channel once is replaced as host.
Wow.. This car is exactly what I've been waiting for cars to look like. Finally a car that actually looks like we're in 2021. So tired of the same average boring looking cars. This thing looks like the future 😍

So this and the Cybertruck are the closest things we have to futuristic looking vehicles right now.
Yes! I have been waiting for you to review this car for ages. Test drove one twice and put a deposit down, very excited. The Carwow reviews are awesome, thank you!
I've found what it reminds me of. The old alfa sz. That squared front end and square lights. I knew I'd seen something really similar before. High praise really, if your going to take design highlights for any EV to continue to persuade more people into battery cars then picking an alfa design cue is a good place to start. Although, "your still not a petrol head until you've owned an alfa"
tbh hyundai is always a car company i never really had a personal attraction to until recent car models. The company is building up a very "iconiq" reputation with this cars
I've had mine nearly two weeks now and love it. I've found the seats very comfortable. I went for the rear wheel 212HP for max range. It still feels quick but the 4 wheel drive must be amazing. I had a 140 mile run out in it last weekend and got 4.6 mikes/kWh which is not bad at all for a big car. I used to get 5 miles/kWh in my i3S with gentle driving which is a much lighter car. We have had lots of positive comments from people while out driving, more than any other car I've owned.👍
@@judahdaneshtaol Yes I do. I wanted leather after my i3S experience of marking the cloth seats. Spilling coffee onto the seat between your legs doesn't look good. 😂

If the market wasn't there for pricier cars, there wouldn't be as many as there are. The average price of a car, most of which are currently fuel cars, is $48k.
Seen two of these in London yesterday and they’re as eye catching as most sport cars out there. Plus they actually feel innovative. I’d buy this anyway.
7:22 - the reason there is no USB-C is because there are lots of devices that have different ports. But one thing they usually all have in common is they start from a USB-A connector.

Thanks for this review really good mate , 10 out of 10, was waiting for this one since the KIA EV6 review. Cant wait to see your Nissan Ariya and Toyota BZ review.Then I will decide which one I will buy :-)
Ah, once again, using the Ioniq 5 as a power source like that EV6 review. No surprise since they share the same platform, also same with the upcoming Genesis GV60.
@@tmeisenmann3285 Just because that recall alone? You know that there's petrol, diesel and even hybrid options that might not have the same issue as the ev model? Plus, Kona ev and Ioniq 5 ain't sharing exactly the same battery. Ioniq 5 was a *ground up* electric car, Kona EV was converted from a petrol car.
@@tmeisenmann3285 but most Electric car company in world use korean battery system (LG chemical , SK innovation). So there won't be an electric car in the world that you'll live in this world.
This car is awesome, and it's not really expensive for what it is. Personally I would go for the single motor long range version. As it is adequate in terms of power, and has the most range. If you drive it propperly you can exceed the advertised range with up to 15%
Honestly a good review! It's a great car. I wish the Tucson had gotten this type of review. This one felt genuinely interested in the features of the car; whereas on the Tucson's review, it was just kind of bagging it the entire time and missed a lot of nice features that are otherwise praised on other vehicles.
Feel like if Marty Mcfly needed a new car for Doc to work on as the next time machine, this would be the 2021 DMC Deloreon! Stunning car especially in silver!
Had the privilege of seeing one of these in the showroom and sit in it. Looks incredible in person and the inside actually really nice quality but feel the screens will look old quickly… An EV I would buy though!
@@judahdaneshtaol I feel it would look dated. Like looking back at old cars like a Lada, that clearly don’t look new. I feel these screens would look dated quicker than normal vehicles would
6:30 - The main reason for the reduced capacity of the front boot on four-wheel-drive versions of the Ioniq 5 is because most of the space underneath is taken up by the front motor. That’s why rear-wheel-drive only versions have a bigger front boot than the four-wheel-drives, as they have no front motor taking up space.

Ok so Telsa is in one of the highest insurance groups so that’s a no no for me in the U.K. the model 3 would cost more than my Range Rover Sport! I saw the Tucson today 30 miles a day (claimed 50) and costs £2 a day to plug in and charge at home. So that’s about £40 - £50 a month in charging costs the same with the Rav 4 plug-in and then petrol on top of that if you go past your 30 mile limit.
ID3 doesn't look any fun at all. It's really ugly, BUT I loved to drive it. The ID4 looks good but it's boring, even with 300 hp. I'd prefer the ID3........Enter Ioniq 5, damn....I'm sold! I'm buying that!
Hey Matt, just test driven the Ioniq 5 which I was ready to place an order on having seen all the gadgets, sat in the cockpit and wowed (see what I did there) at the exterior design & lights. And then I did the drive, which was all going well until it absolutely chucked it down with rain on the M5 just outside Exeter then going into the A30. The view through the rear window was just a blur, I couldn't make out if the car behind me with its headlights on (and thank god it did or I just wouldn't have known it was there) was 10 feet behind me or 100. Such a danger & such a shame. I love the design & was happy with the price but as the wife pointed out when Hyundai don't do a sunroof option for the UK because of the inclement weather then why the hell did they not include a rear wiper considering the sometimes awful weather we get. A real shame but I suspect the Ioniq 5 mk 2 may well have a rear wiper fitted as standard. Watch this space!
Interesting, and not the first to make this point. If worst comes to worst, I understand the rear view camera stays clear (and can be switched on permanently)
The best part of this video was 06:17 & 07:39, to actually get to know all pros and cons of the product you are following since long!!!. Thank you for posting such honest content.
Thanks Matt for noticing the seats and pointing them out. I sold my Sportage because I developed back and neck pain after driving it for long hours and I liked the car otherwise. I think the seats are too small and not made for taller people. No such problem in Touareg.
Good review as usual. Superb looking car. We test drive a standard Hyundai Ioniq last week. The difference in design & style between the Ioniq & Ioniq 5 is truly remarkable tbh. It's honestly like the car came from 2 different companies.
Why the exterior design team don't communicate with the interior design team? In all new hyundai models the exterior is very angular but in the interior all edges are rounded!
Fuck it! I'm a massive petrol head, I love classic British cars, Aston DB5, E type Jag, I love classic American Muscle... Mustang's, Dodge's, Chevies, classic race cars like the Ford GT40, Porsche 917, AC Cobras etc... but I also adore the Delorean... This car reminds me of that 80's futuristic sharp lines... I want to hate EV's but this car makes it hard to do so, it's a gorgeous piece of automotive design, I hate to love it... but aesthetically love it!

A handful of US states get the 2021 leftovers and for everyone else there is always calendar year 2022 and maybe you can get a 2023 model that has a rear wiper and comes as a N. 😉
Love Your Videos! I have a really fun and delightful time spent, every time you review cars. And I trust your reviews more than anyone elses! Important note on the ioniq 5 (my absolute favorite car) Its got a reeeally low actual payload. So you wont be able to carry a family on vacation with the luggage needed. Barely the family.
Test drove one of these and was the first EV I’d ever driven.. I’ve gone through 7/8 different cars now I’m back round to thinking very seriously about this again.. so effin annoying to make the right decision! Edit: I bought one
Hyundai really know what they are doing when it comes to the new generation cars like this. However, like Mat was saying in more recent times the price of cars are starting to really get way more expensive than the average person can really afford. Good news for the public transport industry.
That is an awesome car in many ways and you are hilarious and entertaining to watch, something different to what I see in the states. Thanks. Thumbs up.
@@peglor this is my main reason for not switching at the moment, there are times when I'm towing a small tailer with 4 bikes on the roof on family holidays etc.
After a whole year of leasing one, I'm going to furiously proclaim,... It's brilliant. It just is. Couple of minor gripes - the stereo system isn't great (and the DAB radio refused to pick up DAB until it was updated over the air a few months back). Materials in the front are a bit cheap on anything but the highest trim, too. But that's it. It drives beautifully, is immensely comfortable when cruising at motorway speeds, the regen braking system is PERFECTLY judged, it has a vast interior, it's nippy, disguises its size well. Quiet, stylish, fun, relaxing, very efficient in summer months (middling in the depths of winter if you don't get the heat pump) and, so, costs pennies to run. It's just a really great car.😊
I sat on one today, it's about 830 million idr (46k pounds), for the long range single motor, signature trim. Beautiful car. Really considering to getting one.
Those rims are dope!! 🔥 And 4.8 in a little, completely silent car is nice too! I just can't understand the problem with seats 🤷🏻♂️ Cars have been, for some reason, built with seats forever, they should be perfectioned to the humans body already 🤔
@@Vanguardkl it’s an amazing car, I’m very happy. I do have the top spec AWD model though. I thing the RWD version maybe underpowered for the size of the car. Although it will still be quicker than a petrol car of the same size.
I did a test drive on this car about a week ago and I can say I loved the car but the seats aren't that comfortable which is a real down side as I was really close to getting it.

Plus, Kona ev and Ioniq 5 ain't sharing exactly the same battery. Ioniq 5 was a *ground up* electric car, Kona EV was converted from a petrol car.
@@tmeisenmann3285 commented the same comment in two places. Tell me stranger, are you a bot or a hater?
@@tmeisenmann3285 but most Electric car company in world use korean battery system (LG chemical , SK innovation). So there won't be an electric car in the world that you'll live in this world.
@@hugo5643 byd panasonic tesla and catl is the biggest battery manufacturer
This car is awesome, and it's not really expensive for what it is. Personally I would go for the single motor long range version. As it is adequate in terms of power, and has the most range. If you drive it propperly you can exceed the advertised range with up to 15%
Honestly a good review! It's a great car.
I wish the Tucson had gotten this type of review. This one felt genuinely interested in the features of the car; whereas on the Tucson's review, it was just kind of bagging it the entire time and missed a lot of nice features that are otherwise praised on other vehicles.
Feel like if Marty Mcfly needed a new car for Doc to work on as the next time machine, this would be the 2021 DMC Deloreon! Stunning car especially in silver!
Had the privilege of seeing one of these in the showroom and sit in it. Looks incredible in person and the inside actually really nice quality but feel the screens will look old quickly… An EV I would buy though!
Why will they look old?
@@judahdaneshtaol I feel it would look dated.
Like looking back at old cars like a Lada, that clearly don’t look new. I feel these screens would look dated quicker than normal vehicles would
@@MultipleMadness1 "normal vehicles" have analog dials in the dashboard which already look ancient.
Why would the screens date that quickly?
Not sure if many reviews mention how large this car is. It's got a similar wheelbase to an Audi A8!
The length of the wheelbase is 3000mm.

오타.. ㅋㅋㅋ
At last, Ive been waiting ages for this. Thank you Carwow!
Just seen in one and that brought me to come and watch this review. It's futuristic and simply beautiful. Well done, Hyundai.
Well done, mate. Made me chuckle. I like the car. it's on my list when I'm ready for my first EV.
6:30 - The main reason for the reduced capacity of the front boot on four-wheel-drive versions of the Ioniq 5 is because most of the space underneath is taken up by the front motor. That’s why rear-wheel-drive only versions have a bigger front boot than the four-wheel-drives, as they have no front motor taking up space.
Model Y AWD has a huge frunk. Or froot if you like.
@@mcplutt downside is that it's a tesla.
"the coolest EV in the world" indeed! I want one if it's on Japanese market.
I think it's going to be released. Hyundai is preparing to enter Japan and saw a picture of IONIQ 5 being tested in Japan. 😃
@인성 Speaking of internal combustion cars and Hybrid Japanese cars are still better, but EV.
Somebody needs their eye checking
I think it cant be.. sorry
Carwow is growing very rapidly and I am very happy because Mat explains everything nicely thank you mat

I never thought my dream car would be a Hyundai
Ok so Telsa is in one of the highest insurance groups so that’s a no no for me in the U.K. the model 3 would cost more than my Range Rover Sport! I saw the Tucson today 30 miles a day (claimed 50) and costs £2 a day to plug in and charge at home. So that’s about £40 - £50 a month in charging costs the same with the Rav 4 plug-in and then petrol on top of that if you go past your 30 mile limit.
It looks much better than ID3.
It competes against the ID.4
ID3 doesn't look any fun at all. It's really ugly, BUT I loved to drive it. The ID4 looks good but it's boring, even with 300 hp. I'd prefer the ID3........Enter Ioniq 5, damn....I'm sold! I'm buying that!
@@NordicDartfrog enjoy your EV car!!!
@@ideas8 Thank you I will, but I'm not getting the car until march or april.
“I can slide my feet through there and kick my front passenger. Don’t know why I’d do that?” -Mat Watson 2021
Nurrrr... bur..... gring..... on the chronometer
Been waiting for this. Matt has the magic touch when it comes to reviews!
Hey Matt, just test driven the Ioniq 5 which I was ready to place an order on having seen all the gadgets, sat in the cockpit and wowed (see what I did there) at the exterior design & lights. And then I did the drive, which was all going well until it absolutely chucked it down with rain on the M5 just outside Exeter then going into the A30. The view through the rear window was just a blur, I couldn't make out if the car behind me with its headlights on (and thank god it did or I just wouldn't have known it was there) was 10 feet behind me or 100. Such a danger & such a shame. I love the design & was happy with the price but as the wife pointed out when Hyundai don't do a sunroof option for the UK because of the inclement weather then why the hell did they not include a rear wiper considering the sometimes awful weather we get. A real shame but I suspect the Ioniq 5 mk 2 may well have a rear wiper fitted as standard. Watch this space!
Interesting, and not the first to make this point. If worst comes to worst, I understand the rear view camera stays clear (and can be switched on permanently)
original ioniq never had a wiper either.
The best part of this video was 06:17 & 07:39, to actually get to know all pros and cons of the product you are following since long!!!. Thank you for posting such honest content.
If DeLorean was made into a SUV.
Giorgetto Giugiaro, who designed DeLorean, also designed the Hyundai Pony which is a motivation of the ioniq 5.
@@scu549 great knowledge 👍🏼
I’ve been seeing this car a lot here in norway and been very excited every single time
Still, I will go for the german Tesla.
@@mcplutt What the hell is a German Tesla lol.
@@aoh4905 A Model Y from Berlin.
Those Norwegian oil barons can afford nice cars...
@@petermartin9494 Yes, but we don't like to pay for expensive gas or diesel. Only charge 😃
The Ioniq 5 is easily the best looking non premium ev today! Except for the EQS, that thing look like melted clay

Thanks Matt for noticing the seats and pointing them out. I sold my Sportage because I developed back and neck pain after driving it for long hours and I liked the car otherwise. I think the seats are too small and not made for taller people. No such problem in Touareg.
Good review as usual. Superb looking car. We test drive a standard Hyundai Ioniq last week. The difference in design & style between the Ioniq & Ioniq 5 is truly remarkable tbh. It's honestly like the car came from 2 different companies.
I have to admit, cars like this mean I'll probably change my hot hatch for an electric sooner than I expected. Also "Glove drawer", I want one!
Why the exterior design team don't communicate with the interior design team? In all new hyundai models the exterior is very angular but in the interior all edges are rounded!
A very odd decision from Hyundai
The EV6 is far better on the inside but the Ioniq wins the exterior design battle. Wish I could mix them.
If we get an N version of this with the powertrain from the Kia EV6, that would be pretty epic 😃👍. Awesome content :)
I think there's spy shots of the n line at the nurburgring
@@mclarenspeedtail8988 yeah I saw spyshots which hint at the full N model in one of my magazines
@@nathanb2100 yup
This guy is the most entertaining car reviewer i have ever seen.
Fuck it! I'm a massive petrol head, I love classic British cars, Aston DB5, E type Jag, I love classic American Muscle... Mustang's, Dodge's, Chevies, classic race cars like the Ford GT40, Porsche 917, AC Cobras etc... but I also adore the Delorean...
This car reminds me of that 80's futuristic sharp lines... I want to hate EV's but this car makes it hard to do so, it's a gorgeous piece of automotive design, I hate to love it... but aesthetically love it!
Love the outside not so much the inside …
For me still the Kia EV6 GT 😍
We love the inside! 😳
Honestly, this SUV will always stand out, and I absolutely love that.

A handful of US states get the 2021 leftovers and for everyone else there is always calendar year 2022 and maybe you can get a 2023 model that has a rear wiper and comes as a N. 😉
😆 🤣
Love Your Videos! I have a really fun and delightful time spent, every time you review cars. And I trust your reviews more than anyone elses!
Important note on the ioniq 5 (my absolute favorite car)
Its got a reeeally low actual payload. So you wont be able to carry a family on vacation with the luggage needed. Barely the family.
Ordered a matt gold one today. Two weeks can't wait 😊
The wheels looks impressive.....and also the gauges cluster😀😀👌👌
It's like what people in the '80s thought future cars would look like 😂
That's because cars from the 80's used cheap plastic as well. I think it totally ruins the car.
I prefere old fashion USB than newer because every cable I have use this USB
I saw one on the Autobahn the other day... those rear lights.. so sick... cant imagine how nice they would look in the dark
Love love love it. Plan on getting one soon 😍
You know you’re getting old when they have to demonstrate what Spirograph is for the younglings.
This thing looks so much cooler and distinct from other crossovers. Most crossovers look the exact same.
Model Y is different too....
@@mcplutt Yes
I love these cars and these reviews
Ahhhh we get ours at the end of January after being delayed since the start of September and I'm so excited to get in it :DDD
Just ordered a i4 M50 but this is the best purpose built looking EV to date.It stands out from every brand!!!
That sliding center console is super genius, its really really difficult to go across in every car ever
its something no one will actually use tho?
My 68 reg Jeep Compass has one AND a power outlet for the rear passengers...
@@nigelrowe2204 same as this then... this has an actual power outlet in the back.
Test drove one of these and was the first EV I’d ever driven.. I’ve gone through 7/8 different cars now I’m back round to thinking very seriously about this again.. so effin annoying to make the right decision!
Edit: I bought one
Hyundai really know what they are doing when it comes to the new generation cars like this.
However, like Mat was saying in more recent times the price of cars are starting to really get way more expensive than the average person can really afford.
Good news for the public transport industry.
That is an awesome car in many ways and you are hilarious and entertaining to watch, something different to what I see in the states. Thanks. Thumbs up.
This car also has a nice acceptable 'future' look to it, not bland like others.
2:55 Matt, the reason why the steering wheel has 4 dots is because 4 dots is "H" in morse code. H as in Hyundai !
This is my favourite EV right now, purely because of the way it looks. Hyundai nailed it with this one.
I love horse and EV's. I would love to see if you could explore the effect on range towing something is!!
The fast lane car and truck channel on youtube do a lot of this - EV range is more or less unusable for long range towing.
@@peglor this is my main reason for not switching at the moment, there are times when I'm towing a small tailer with 4 bikes on the roof on family holidays etc.
I have to get this off my chest. The Ioniq looks like an Opel/Vauxhall Mokka/Crossland/Grandland from the front.
After a whole year of leasing one, I'm going to furiously proclaim,...
It's brilliant. It just is. Couple of minor gripes - the stereo system isn't great (and the DAB radio refused to pick up DAB until it was updated over the air a few months back). Materials in the front are a bit cheap on anything but the highest trim, too. But that's it.
It drives beautifully, is immensely comfortable when cruising at motorway speeds, the regen braking system is PERFECTLY judged, it has a vast interior, it's nippy, disguises its size well.
Quiet, stylish, fun, relaxing, very efficient in summer months (middling in the depths of winter if you don't get the heat pump) and, so, costs pennies to run.
It's just a really great car.😊
I sat on one today, it's about 830 million idr (46k pounds), for the long range single motor, signature trim. Beautiful car. Really considering to getting one.
Those rims are dope!! 🔥
And 4.8 in a little, completely silent car is nice too!
I just can't understand the problem with seats 🤷🏻♂️
Cars have been, for some reason, built with seats forever, they should be perfectioned to the humans body already 🤔
How is this exclusive? I’ve had my Ioniq 5 for a month now?
How is it?
@@Vanguardkl it’s an amazing car, I’m very happy. I do have the top spec AWD model though. I thing the RWD version maybe underpowered for the size of the car. Although it will still be quicker than a petrol car of the same size.
@@troypoynter8484 . . We,v. Had ours the ultimate. Grey. Leather Gravity Gold . SO. HAPPY . &. GETTING. 290. Miles Average. WAYTO GO .
I did a test drive on this car about a week ago and I can say I loved the car but the seats aren't that comfortable which is a real down side as I was really close to getting it.
IMO the leather seats on p45 version are really comfortable especialy on long trips
Just saw this car a few days ago. The car belongs to HM Sultan of Johor state in Malaysia.
