This is a Motormouth couple car review of the 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5 electric utility.We decided to take it for a week since we only got to drive it for one day in San Diego. We’ll do another review on it, “Living with the IONIQ 5 for a week.” The entry-level standard range comes with a smaller 58 kWh battery and RWD only. It has 168 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque with 354 km/220 miles of EV range. The RWD Long Range model with the larger 77.4 kWh battery has 225 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, it offers the most range at 488 km/303 miles. The AWD Long Range model has the most power, 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque and gets 414 km/256 miles of EV range. The IONIQ 5 offers four different driving modes, Eco, Normal, Sport and Snow and provides performance without compromise. It has a smooth and nimble ride with a quiet cabin. It comes with paddle shifters to control the regenerative braking with four levels to choose from. This EV has an eco-friendly interior and a smart living theme with integrated digital tech and flexible spaces to create an expansive and open interior. Sustainable materials are used throughout the cabin like recycled plastic bottles. The IONIQ 5 comes standard with dual 12.3” displays, Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a power driver’s seat, a manual passenger seat, black-cloth upholstery and heated front seats. The top trim comes with all the extra features, like ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a head-up display, an 8-speaker Bose Sound system, wireless charger, a power passenger seat and a leatherette interior. The IONIQ 5 offers a ground clearance of 6.1”, less than the ID.4 at 6.7” and the Model Y at 6.6” but more than the Mustang Mach-E at 5.7”. The IONIQ 5 RWD SR starts at $44,999 CAD/$39,700 USD, AWD LR $54,999 CAD/$47,150 USD and the top trim is $59,999 CAD/$54,500 USD.

I know it is a personal choice and perspective but I do think the IONIQ is quite handsome and one of the best looking EVs out there...
Hyundai sales rep alert ⚠️ 📢
I agree, a lot of people prefer the looks of the EV6 and I personally just can't stand it. I went and saw both at the dealership EV6 felt more like a young kid car (I sound like a dad)
The photographs made me rush out to see one in person ... I found it incredibly disappointing in person, especially from the rear
I really like it too. Much nicer than the kia and ID4..
I think it'll age well. The lower trims have smaller wheels and simple lights that throw off the look quite a bit. The pre production model looked great - they changed it before release.
We’ve had the Ioniq 5 SE AWD for three weeks. I think we like it more now than the day we bought it. There are some things like the lack of a rear wiper/seat warmer button and funky door handles that I questioned. In actual use I am not finding those much of an issue.
We do have a garage (not heated) which already had a 240V outlet for a level 2 charger. Home charging costs us $3.50 for 256 miles of range. A recent 130 mile round trip in temperatures ranging from 29F to 48F saw an average of 4.3 miles/kWH when driving in ECO mode at 60-65 mph.
We initially wanted a PHEV like the RAV4 Prime but couldn’t find anything available. The I5 was unexpectedly available at our local dealer. Living in Colorado we have up to $10k in tax credits available.
I think this is an awesome looking car. Extremely unique.
I agree!
I'd take this over the EV6, love it's style, kinda retro futurist and conservative at the same time
We've had an I5 Limited for a month. Love it. NOTE: The short cut to the heated/cooled seats and steering wheel heat is the WARMER button in the climate control panel. One push and your screen pops up. No, not as convenient as buttons but not too bad. My son has an EV6 and yes, it's direct buttons are better.
It's nice to have the buttons, but I am sure you can get used to anything after using it many times over.
You can use voice commands I believe for heated seats …not sure 🤔. I know you can control heating and cooling this way. I would prefer buttons. Maybe in a next iteration since many new options will already be available in 2023 : digital rear view mirror, battery preheating for fast charge, etc.
You all remember when phones ditched the buttons? And then iPhone ditched the center button for control and finger print access? Guess what? The phones without buttons are all there is now and despite the complaints, most of us got used to it 🤷🏿♂️. Sells more than the previous. A complaint about no button on cars will be obsolete. And yes, the warmer access is as easy as having the button on ev6.
3 ways to turn on heated seats. 1. Use warmer button on climate control panel. 2. Use voice command. 3. Use screen like reviewers did. (Hardest way)
@@monsieurve6554 are you able to post a link to what new options/changes are in store for the 2023 Ioniq 5?
oh by the way, I love those moments when Zack hears Andrea talking about needing new things... heated garage??? Zack's face is priceless. Dollar signs!!
They need more subscribers and views.
@@michaels3003 everybody subscribe so they can get a heated garage!!!
@@kevinn1158 , actually I am a new subscriber.
LOL. On Zack!!!
Home improvements headed your way soon!
I've had a different experience with my Ioniq 5 where people often come and ask me about the car in parking lots.
I was a bit surprised by that, I thought the same would happen.
@@andreaspencer9813 when I test drove it people were looking
@@OmarAmroussy I always look when I see one, they are so unique looking.
Good job you two. . Nice to see someone in my neighbourhood doing youtube reviews!
Got one my wife, AWD SE, extremely awesome EV.
Fantastic, congratulations!
Definitely my favorite car reviewer.Two honest,wether positive or negative opinions on many different vehicles types.With different typeof driving conditions (southern tip of Louisiana resident) Thanks for keeping it real from one motor head to another.
Soooooo…. A new garage, followed by a new Taycan. Love the videos. Keep them coming!
just hit the warmer button on the climate control bar under the volume, the screen will show heated cooler seats and steering wheel heat options, and I believe if you hit it again it might jump back to your earlier screen.
A shame that they present this as one of the main drawbacks, but don’t look into the solution you mention. It’s still not as convenient as hard button, but not at all as bad as they make it out in the movie.
Poor review. Could it read the warmer button text. The door handles confused them, they would rather not drive EVs (wanted the Tucson instead). LOLz
The Deloitte study was interesting - if one looks at the US, the main category that was skewing the results for gas vehicles were people over 55. The people under 40 were really interested in EVs
I like these two, very refreshing. Identify with realstic practical and conceptual mix of information.
About that "seat heater", there's a shortcut... You guys know that right? You always have a display for the climate controls... Just press "warmer" and voilà, you're in the screen to adjust the seats and the steering.... I think you're just mooting at this point...
Yes, we know but we like buttons like in the EV6.
I LOVE the looks of this car!
Love the test of the IONIQ5 and nice looking. Andrea does a great job with the fashion game. I agree with Andrea get a EV and have a heated garage to keep it in.
I love how you guys always keep it real. I think EV‘s are just so expensive right now, especially after the dealer mark ups. It’s probably best to wait a couple years anyways.
Hey guys ,
Great review and yes agree with handles .😆
This was one of your best videos. Especially, for an electric vehicle like this, where a little more time benefits of digesting your impressions. Thanks for another electrifying video.
Wow, thank you, we appreciate the kind words.
You guys are great! I really appreciate your videos, your wise insights, and your good natured humanity. It's one of the highlights of my week when your videos drop! I'm getting a RAV4 Prime in a few weeks, and its in part due to your helpful reviews on that stellar vehicle. All the best to you both!!
Thanks for posting this video! Just curious, is it safe in heavy snow? The back wiper is definitely a NECESSITY in heavy snowy or a sand storm.
Of the EV or PHEV SUV options what would you choose to drive down a logging road in search of a waterfall? I am talking about big pothole gravel and dirt roads.
Hey! Does the free charging applies also in quebec since we're stuck with Electric Circuit instead of Electrify Canada?
My brother has a four car garage that is climate control ..
He did that mainly for his dogs when it either gets too cold or warm for them ..
But since he is also a "shop nerd," I think he equally did it for himself ..
I think there is a setting to hit one button for the seat recline, i think u press and hold and once it starts u can release then it does it for you
Great review, from a couple’s perspective a bonus. Love the additional commentary about the auto industry as a whole. Hmmm, make the jump or buy another ICE car, just one last time….
Great job!
I have a 2021 Jeep cherokee trailhawk elite and the heated seat are on the 8.4'' touch screen too so its about the same. Great reviewsand the ioniq you tested is the same one i ordered, i love that color.
Awesome review Zack and Andrea! Quick question: can you give the car instructions for example to turn on the heat, or turn on the heated seats? That could save time without the buttons for heating. Also, do you have any opinion on having telescoping infortainment screens to address the issue of it being too far? Thanks!
You can always use voice command but it doesn't always work. Although the Tesla system is excellent and it works more times than not for me.
I’ve heard people using the voice commands for the seat warmers. If the commands don’t work well then that’s no good.
Had the car for a month. I can't think of the last time "turn on/off seat warmer" voice command didn't work for me.
Like the look of it. I like how electric vehicles look like concept vehicles where gas powered vehicles can’t break out of their more boring molds.
What is the 0 to 60 time for the RWD model ? It only has 225 hp but a decent 258 lb ft of torque and an attractive 303 miles of range in the US.
Excellent video you guys! Such a great honest discussion. I’m in Vancouver too with gas hitting 234.9/litre soon/today? Like many, I’m going down this rabbit hole about EV cars but reality might be PHEV or even PZEV with super clean gas engine. Anyway, I like the look of Hyundai Ioniq 5 - it’s very cyber tron, concept prototype looking! Really attractive imo but yea, might look very dated with certain touches. Someone else said it best: retro futuristic look. When I saw the door handles, I thought too bad.
You can quickly access the heated seat controls by clicking the WARMER button (physical button) below the screen and it will bring up the menu. Not too bad.
I think the best door handle on both ICE cars and EVs is not really a handle. The VW ID4 has the best idea. It is a hidden button under the area to pull with your fingers. It is easy to use, right or left handed and for everyone in the cold weather areas, it's NOT affected by ice! Perfect.
Doesn’t anybody use voice control on this? And what about use of the programmable buttons?
Zack, you have been reading my mind. Automakers, STOP changing controls which have evolved over 100 years, and work well.
Yup, so true!
These two feel just like we are talking to a neighbor about a car. Very smart. Agree with everything they say.
Is the car in this video, the matte gray color one?
Great review, team! I’m curious how you handled charging for the week you had the car, since I’m guessing you don’t have a Level 2 charger at home. 👍
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it. You are right, no Level 2 charger at home so we had to get in line at a charging station. Zack went to Petro-Canada to charge this IONIQ 5 but we always find it to be such a pain to be honest with you. As more EV's come in for us to review, we will have to consider installing a Level 2 charger at home.
@@andreaspencer9813 thanks for the answer! I thought you might have given level 1 charging a shot in your driveway, to see if it’s at all viable for a short distance commuter in Vancouver.
@@gregholloway2656 I actually suggested that to Zack but in the end he went to PetroCanada. I think we should try it next time, it will save us time.
If you're driving 50 - 100 kilometres per day, level one will be just fine. I was looking at installing a Level 2 charger but I'll wait until I have 3 to 6 months of real world =experience before O make a final decision. $1,200 for a decent Level 2 charger plus installation will buy a lot of time at public charging points. We also have at least two FREE-TO-USE level 2 charge points with 4 kilometres of our home.
Totally agree why that silly door handle. Why reinvent ? Maybe next new thing - square tires😃
lol! I guess just trying to be unique but I agree regular door handles please. I did like the ones on the EQS, very solid, you just pull on them.
Less drag
I laughed out loud when I saw you face after attempting to use the ottoman lol
I admire Telsa owners. they are okay with anything about Tesla. Tell a Tesla owner that the seats were missing on your new Tesla when it arrived, they will say "no problem. get some plastic chairs. I got mine from Amazon. they are really good and nicely fit". here we are nit picking over tiny details.
So true, they are very accepting.
There are plenty reasonable Tesla owners. The extreme ones spoil it for what is probably the majority of reasonable ones. The reasonable ones that find certain things needing improvement will help Tesla improve. They already have in some ways. (I'm not a Tesla owner and wouldn't consider buying one, btw).
Noticed that you never mentioned warranty on the battery. Is there one and for how long? Like all batteries it’s ok when new but 4 or 5 years of recharging though and they’re not holding the same amount of charge. What’s the cost of a replacement battery cause I’m pretty sure that if you keep the car for ten years you’re going to need a new battery. With out doing that I can just imagine what resale or trade-in value would be.
For those who live in southern california, is the RWD model adequate? While more power would be nice with the AWD model, I'm more concerned about range.
Terence, I've heard that even in areas with snowy winters, rear wheel drive is sufficient with a good set of winter tires, you should be fine
One thing on the winter driving we have to remember that the battery provides a far amount of weight and from a Tesla owner who is in Calgary with his M3 rear wheel drive has next to no issues in the winter. Rocky Mountain Tesla is the channel which has some very good winter experiences with cold and snow.
Yes, you guys need an EV. I just picked up a Tesla model Y performance on the weekend. Wow is it fast. Love the acceleration. Looking at getting a second EV. I like the Ioniq 5, EV6 and Genesis EV60.
Wow, congratulations!
Genesis is GV60.
Can voice commands control most of the settings, like seat heaters?
Yes, they can but I find it doesn't always work.
5:40 There is a button called [WARMER] in the panel. If you hit it, the control screen pops up. Once you get used to it, not too much inconvenient.
Yes I am sure you can get used to anything if you use it often enough.
Does it remotely heat well?
Real benefit of the paddles is that it allows you to reduce the regen "grab" when winter driving and you are on a slippery hill. Allows you to use the regen instead of your brakes.
Does the Hyundai have a retractable sunroof screen and what is the turning radius compared to probably the best ID 4. ?? Thanks
Google
5:42 can’t you use a voice command for heated seats?
Hi Andrea, please link where you buy your tops with those cute little buttons on the sleeves...love all of your videos and your outfits are amazing!!!
Awe thank you so much, I like this idea, thanks for the suggestion. These light weight sweaters are from Zara. I always wash in cold water and hang to dry. Fabulous and comfortable!
@@andreaspencer9813 thank you for replying so quickly and considering sharing your fashion style and ideas...maybe a new channel idea:-)
@@Erica-222 For sure!
I drove to my sisters house in the cold it was -5DegC. parked it in their garage and a 10-100% charge in a 2019 Kia Soul EV (only 30KWH battery) heated the insulated garage so it was warm for us to drive back from Calgary to Vancouver that morning (the garage and car - no I did not preheat the car)!
Your sister is going to freak over her electric bill. 😋
Problems with heated seat button access? Just hit the button on the wheel and say “drivers seat heat level 2”.
What do you think of the light interior of you have children under 12?
Great video Andrea! This vehicle is very futuristic looking vehicle and in fact it’s looks a bit of boxing that has an advantage for the driver and the passenger compartment and some nice features like reclining seats for driver to take an nap while charging. cheers! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, so glad you liked the review. It is a very spacious EV and so bright!
@@andreaspencer9813 You are an very welcome Andrea! It’s bright because those huge glass roof! 👍🏻👍🏻
Reclining. Not declining. 🤣🤣
And all cars have reclining seats.
The back wiper is absolutely NEEDED in a snowy/salty/sandy environnement
When discussing the trims, it would be nice to see a graphic (comparison chart) as you're narrating. It would help us understand them.
Thanks for the suggestion.
How much cubic feet with the seats down
It isn't "futuristic" its retro-futuristic... so essentially what someone from the 80's would have envisioned as the car of the future.
Great point, 80's vibe for sure!
Has a Golf/Rabbit shape to it but the detail work and size and body creases are current.
My husband’s Dodge Ram has the heated seat controls in the touch screen as well. It’s like jumping onto The Abyss just to turn the function on and off. Ridiculous.
Hyundai is killing it .... this car looks awesome. A guy in the US did a test by wetting the door handle with a spray bottle and let it freeze. The door won't open.
I bought the Santa Fe UC and loving every minute of it. You guys do a professional and comprehensive review and look good doing it. 😀Cheers.
This reminds me of the Hyundai Excel came out in the 80s .. boxy style, 5-Dr hatch back, 2-spoke steering wheel .. my uncle had a silver one
Not the same, that is for sure.
The only thing I noticed with the Ioniq5 and the EV6 is the speedometer is on the side of the instrument cluster. It could be blocked from view and would have been better if it was in the middle where it can be clearly seen.
18:26 Which road / intersection is this ? it's gorgeous .
Good solid review. I know you mentioned the price, but think we need to also mention the EV rebates per province. In BC its 8K plus another $350 for charger as well which is why we decided to purchase the top trim. At the end of the day, its the best affordable and family EV vehicle in my opinion. With the rebate, i would much rather have this car than a low to mid end luxury suv. Paying low 50' for a vehicle that can go 0-60 in 4.9 helps justify the pricing as well =) With the global increase in gas, think the price of these makes it less of an issue in my opinion. The rear wiper doesnt bother me, its no different than driving a large sedan and they dont have wipers. With all the technology now it compensates for that. I love your comment about winter driving. 100% agree. AWD helps but at the end of the day its how you drive and your ability to make the right decisions in that weather that makes the most difference. And yes, the stiff wheel in "S" mode is to help control the subtle steering wheel handling during those conditions. Great review.
U were able to get it now? I live in quebec and they told me 1 year wait
Reason why sedans don’t have wipers is due to trunk directing airflow and thus mud and spray away from back window. All small hatchback SUVs and vans that don’t have a trunk to speak of have a wiper. Unless Hyundai found a way to address this thru special aero pieces in the back (possible) it will be an issue for those driving in vast majority of Canada in winter months
@@gs98999 yeah still doesn't bother me. Have a kia sorento and a murano and think I used it once in 6 months
@@babyganga8786 no I get it I'm summer. Test drove one in December.
I was about to buy this car, but I found the seats very uncomfortable and firm for my liking. It was a great car nonetheless. Nice review
I dont like firm seats either. My old Nissan LEAF was so comfy/soft. My Kia Niro EV has firm seats too and I notice it whenever I go to drive it.. so I'll be sure to test out the seats when I get ready to test drive this Ioniq 5...
I’m waiting for more details and hands-on testing of the Genesis GV60, especially what it’ll be priced at! I fear though with Genesis positioning itself as a luxury brand that the GV60 (also AWD) will be yet another too-expensive EV, even if comes well equipped vs it’s luxury competitors (taking a page out of Hyundai’s playbook to get market share).
The new thumbnails are nice! Keep innovating, improving and growing! I have noticed ab 12k new subs since January. 6% growth already in Q1 PROUD of ya'll 💪
Wow, thanks for the kind words!
Awe thank you so much, we really appreciate the support and kind words.
There are vents that redirect air from the roof to over the rear window. I think Hyundai was hoping this would replace the need for a wiper.
Annnddd….they were proven wrong. It doesn’t work. It definitely needs a wiper.
12:25 - Because of the aerodynamic slope of the rear window, I doubt if a rear wiper would really help much on the Ioniq 5. Our Prius Prime has small, near-vertical window at the bottom, with deeply forward-sloped window above it. The sloped window doesn’t get an appreciable amount of spray from the rear tires. The smaller window at the bottom does. Also the airflow around the car goes right down that sloped window, so I doubt if much water direct falling from the sky would collect on it.
Press the "Warmer" button in the climate area and it brings you right to the screen to warm the seats.
Hello! I'm glad you mentioned this....also voice command will bring it up. There is more then one way to get it done. 👍🏽
@@sharkishark2094 Have you tried voice command? The only voice command system that works more times than not is Tesla. For some reason, she couldn't understand my voice many times in the IONIQ 5. It becomes frustrating unless the system works most of the time.
Yes, you are right but hitting one button is still easier than going into the screen. You can get used to anything, we are just saying buttons are nice like in the EV6.
@@sharkishark2094 I also want to add you can get used to anything even if you have to go into the screen or use voice commands. I think our point is it would be nice to have buttons like in the EV6.
22 reviews I have watched from professional and mom and dad reviewers and you're literally the first one I saw that didn't have absolutely positive things to say about the way it looks. Your review is definitely the outlier. Cannot take this review seriously.
Very interesting video
Nice review. Here is my question. Living also in Canada, I came to prioritize AWD for safety in the winter especially for my wife and daughter. How is RWD in these and other electric cars in very snow or icy conditions? Is it worth the price difference to get an AWD? Thanks 😊
I agree AWD the way to go here in Cda but getting into mid-55K CAD price before taxes already w/c is too exp IMO. I would suggest to get the upcoming BZ4X from Toyota with entry level as FWD but still gives you 400km range and the heat pump for Cdn winters! Not to mention Toyota’s track record for reliability and for sure great warranty on EV batt & components
We're in Toronto and have the RWD LR. Haven't had any issues and we've driven through some storms already.
Had two Toyotas, never again. They went downhill.
Bonjour, I am from Montreal. I made a deposit on both the ID4 and the Ioniq 5, both AWD. What would be your final choice? Thank you very much.
The VW has more ground clearance if you drive in deep snow.
Somebody's getting a new garage! That's what I learned in this video. LOL. BTW, we picked up our new Ioniq 5 SE a couple days ago. The most impressive thing so far is its charging speed. It's was super fast at Electrify America and at another fast-charging station we used. It's charging 2 to 3 times faster than our VW ID.4. It's also very quiet to drive.
Setting aside charge time, which do you like more and why? I’m looking at both & can’t make up my mind. If VW would bring the id3 to North America, I’d definitely buy that!
With regards to multiple presses to turn on heated seats, my Tesla presents the same issues and I originally had several mini temper tantrums. Then I discovered that the voice control could handle almost everything that I needed the screen to control.
2023 EU trim is going to have a camera under the back spoiler to negate the poor visibility issue
Zack you don’t seem to be a fan of this car. You seemed annoyed during the whole video, but maybe that’s just because of the pending new garage. Solid review!
I'm gonna wait till these vehicles get 500 miles to charge, and can be either flat towed or with a tow dolly, just me. Thanks
unlimited 30 min charging sessions at Electrify America, did you really mean Electrify Canada? You are Canadian how does that really help us.
We do reviews for all of our viewers including, Americans. Unfortunately, Hyundai and Kia do not have a charging credit programs in Canada.
I am with team Andrea here... EV should be in the garage for sure.
It has to be kept warm!!!
@@wgemini4422 I don't think it would be wise to subject the battery to extreme temperature fluctuations. No matter how good your cars battery temperature control is. It's probably not going to overcome -10 temperature outside whole its off. But that's just a thought. I could be wrong.
@@wgemini4422 that's true. Taking care of an EVs battery seems like the most important part of owning one and if putting it in the garage helps the cars range last longer. It seems like a no brainer.
Edit: not to mention cars probably have some sort of program to help maintain the battery's optimal health if it's plugged in. At least I would hope.
If you click the “warmer” button next to the temperature control, it opens up the warmer menu on the screen. Handy to know
Same with climate button too.
Thank you for saying it: prices need to come down. I believe this problem stems from the fact that there's too much focus on "SUV-type" vehicles and in order to get people to buy EV they need to be "luxurious."
I am very intrigued by the IONIQ 5, but I get the feeling that the IONIQ 6 is likely the dream EV sedan I am thinking of in terms of both size and *hopefully* price. 😮💨
Agreed with you on the fact that the Tucson PHEV makes good sense. Yet if you live in Quebec the government rebate is 13K making the Ioniq 5 the cheapest overall by far
Another excellent review by my now favourite reviewers.
Awe thank you!
As you said , 70% of new vehicles sold are ICE vehicles, however, as one who just bought a new ICE small cuv, i would have preferred a hybrid, but none was offered. Auto makers insist on offering hybrids in mid size and large sizes only ignoring the smaller cuv/suv market, excluding a large percentage of customers such as myself .
I think this is one of the best looking EVs out there. Better looking than the Model 3 or Mustang Mach E. Hyundai has a good reputation as an automobile builder. Every Tesla I drive in creaks and rattles? This is crazy makes me concerned about the fit and finish?
I know a lot of people make a big deal about the matte grey paint, which is beautiful but I think if I were going to buy the ioniq I would really consider the teal green that you all had. Plus it’s a lot easier to maintain……at the end of the day I’m going to keep the order that I have in for my Tesla model y. But mainly because of cost. I feel like as nice as the ioniq 5 is it’s overpriced by about 5 grand. And while it’s true Tesla is not a luxury car…But it is a high tech car, with leading technology. Plus the y has been around for a couple years now, almost 3. And the ioniq is brand new. And you know what they say about buying a car it’s first year in production…
The Model Y is about $16,000 USD more than the Ionic 5 SE.
Yes Zach! Never met the perfect ev as well.
The door handles are that way to reduce drag on the vehicle for more range
Program a "Star" button for the heated seats if you want that. Otherwise use voice control. Don't dig through the menu. Cheers, Steve
Those door handles froze on me, I couldn’t close them as they were full of ice, and I had to drive with them open as I was going along. And it was only 3 below zero in Ireland 🇮🇪.
Warm water? Hair drier?
@@cablebrain9691 I just drove the car till I got to work and it warmed up enough for them to close, next time warm water on the handles.
Overprised is the right word!
How about the Skoda enyak or the Audi etron?
Not available in the market no?
@@michaellim4165 I believe the eTron is available in Canada however at a higher price than this vehicle
you don't need to hit the home button or use the touch screen to get to the heated and ventilated seats, click the warmer button next to climate control it takes you there immediately then you select, it is one click extra still
Zack is right on this one. I haven’t seen an EV that I’m sold on yet either. Whether it’s the range or price they’re just not very practical
I share charging availability concerns in the near term. The states will be slow to catch up and install the infrastructure needed. People often do nothing until its ALMOST too late.
I'm looking forward to the future of EVs.
