After covering a few hundred miles in a Hyundai Ioniq 5 here I give my verdict including the things i like and do NOT like about the Hyundai Ioniq 5.
It's a great car but there are a few niggles along the way so here i will explain. I am very used to driving a Tesla Model 3 plus I've also spent some time with the Model Y so I can show some direct comparisons along the way...
Let me know what you think.

Interesting. I have an Ioniq 5 AWD on order, but I forgot to order the Boxing Glove Access Pack.
I too have a P45. There are a number of assistance systems. I agreed with your initial assessment about the slightly modulating steering. But after using it on several long journeys, I have got used to the slight wobble. I think this is to keep you aware that the system is still active and working. As you have to keep your hands on the wheel. So I got used to it. I find the graphics and infotainment fine. Look of inside and outside fab. Very glad I purchased the car. It is good to have EV choice.
What is your real life mileage if you don't mind the question
@@AZCONA Hi I am getting 230-250 miles. I am not driving particularly carefully. But really meets my needs. The rapid charging works really well at the few UK based Ionity chargers I have used.
Didn't know you got fired.
Could outsell the model Y In Australia if they imported enough. The Y’s rough suspension will give it a bad reputation in Aus on our imperfect roads.
Good honest review ....Ordered mine 3wks ago.. (Ultimate 4wd ..Cyber Grey black interior.. with Eco & Tech packs) expected mid-January.
Gloves and hat have to be a permanent feature from now on 😎
😂 ok…
@@RSEV
I'm sending you the cleaning bill for the "unfortunate coffee spill" (luckily, I was at home !)
It was the hat that did it.
Matt has his Stick of Truth, Richard now has the Gloves of Accessibility.
I turn off lane assist when I leave home as I live in the countryside and it doesn't work on rural roads. But in order to get the crash safety standards, you can't turn off lane assist permanently. But it is easy to switch off via the dashboard button. Can't agree with the grey plastic issues - I think it looks cool
Superb vid
I’m getting more and more interested for my next EV
These cars do look striking. Every time I see one, I look. Great review.
Good stuff RSymons. Loving your reviews. Please make a video on tech in ioniq5 including how good is auto pilot. That helps ppl to decide the car they wanna buy.
I didn’t realize you were near Bournemouth. My UK office is downtown Bournemouth. Will have to stop by if I ever get over there :) Thanks for this review. We’re looking at the Ionic 5 for my wife in a year or two. Once they work the kinks out. :) Cheers from 🇨🇦
The software/infotainment is the same format as in our MY20 Kona, since its update its July 2021 update, which was a big change from the software the car was delivered with.
Yes, we get a lot of LKA warnings.
I see you've changed the dashboard screens from white to black, which is a good feature as the white is very marmite.
Agree, it is a great car, Hyundai/Kia certainly thinking out of the box with their new EVs... Many models planned for the versatile EV platform the Ioniq5 sits on!
This is the first EV I would probably swap my Model S without hesitation. Yeah it’s two absolutely different kind of thing but I5 just look soo cool!
Great video. Out of all the IONIC 5 videos I’ve seen, I like how you are telling Hyundai, directly, your straightforward opinion about the things you like and don’t like. The “bold design,” and the choice of a lot of grayish bits of plastics, etc.
I am glad Hyundai is bold with their designs. I prefer a vehicle that stands apart from the rest. I hope they continue to have great designs and offer a lot of features for the money.
I, too, was surprised there was more plastic areas for a vehicle that seems to give the vibe that it has a higher standard of quality.
The launch video of Hyundai, made me think the interior was going to be a bit more quality.
I want one.
Hope you can do tests on the charging.
And seeing if you can get full performance from the battery.
A different RUclipsr noticed the IONIC 5 doesn’t give full performance/horsepower because the battery temperature is affecting it.
I don’t like that. I want to just unplug and go with full performance regardless of battery temps.
You can just add a wireless Android Auto Dongle to have wireless phone connectivity. No problem there.
My Kia E Niro has heated and cooled seats and idea is you can save using heat/air con and therefore gain extra range. I also find the same annoyance with lane assist and country lanes, but in general not a major problem. Worst is when there are no lines and it somehow finds some!
Thanks for the review. As far as the infotainment feeling like it's from a 5 year old car: For me that's actually great as I'll be coming to it from a 2013 CC that doesn't even have a back up camera. LOL
The idea behind cooled seats is using them on hot days. I don't have cooled seats but I only use my heated seats when it's absolutely freezing out
Actually that was a good point, what do you do if your car is stored for a long period of time?
Very fair review. I’ve had my Premium RWD 73kw for a week. I love it!
The lane assist is annoying!
It’s a shame Hyundai gave everyone P45 or Ultimate Ioniq 5’s to reviewers as I doubt many people will buy the top of the range and the next level down (Premium in the UK) is missing a lot of those bells and whistles.
Almost everyone ordered the full trim in my country. The price difference is really small between the two trims (yes, we only have two choices). And everything is available including sunroof and solar roof. Weird how different the trims are in different places...
@@Danne89 EVs are seen as expensive in the UK. Even the lower spec Ioniq 5’s are perceived as expensive by most people.
Agree - the premium feels anything but. Was all excited by the features on display - then to find out all extras and no idea on the waiting time if ordered from my local dealer - I want te Ultimate AWD tech pack
@@davemcconnell2491 I actually feel my car is very nice indeed. Some of the extra bells and whistles would have been nice, in some cases Hyundai removing them seems unfathomable (mood lighting, popping out door handles). I just think it's a shame EVERY RUclips review features the ultimate spec which is not what most people are going to end up with.
Love the videos RS, I’m inching closer to the EV world from my dirty diesel (xc90).
What’s the best EV for transporting a family of 5 with small kids?! A vid idea for you?
Ps 6:55, ‘comfortable. What’s it like in an accident, don’t know’ 😂🤣😂
If you're adamant you 'need' an SUV, then the likes of the Skoda Enyaq is getting great reviews as a huge, practical family car.
If, however, you'd rather have a more efficient-to-run estate car, then your choice is somewhat limited to 2 models - the best range-per-pound EV on the market right now, the MG5 or, at completely the opposite end of the financial scale, the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo. 👍
Wait for the next Chinese cars!
@@jonathantaylor1998
Y has more room than the Skoda.
We have 3 kids and our model 3 is not too bad (2 car seats and a child in the middle l, they cope pretty well legroom is fine especially as you have no transmission tunnel in the back
There are lots of spacious EVs to choose from right now. So it also depends on what other needs you have (towing, boot) and what kind of driving you typically do (lots of city and school runs, or lots of long distance driving).
How much is the ‘vampire’ drain? Typically I leave my car in a car park for a couple of days. Can you indicate how much I’m likely to lose?
Regarding the lane assist on/off and level of regen and I believe other settings. In another review I saw that car keep selected settings by clicking "Auto-Hold" button on the right hand side of the steering wheel. If "Auto-Hold" is off car reverts to default settings once turn-on again. I don't have the car to test it first hand, so I could be wrong.
I really like the Ioniq 5 and if they made a smaller version (Ioniq 3 perhaps) I'd love one assuming they sort the finicky keyless system out as I do lots of short journeys so that is a very important feature to me.
get GV60, that thing has face recognition and finger print scan. You don't need an key or key card at all.
Great review, albeit the boxing glove bits were a bit cringy, that aside.. good insight. So what are you retaining this car at? Possibly interested if not to high
Seems like charging networks and charging times in Europe are far better than those here in the U.S. where you may plan a trip and find the charger that you drove to is not working or barely charges your car so you have to drive around looking for another.
Steering assist on a country road set the lane keep assist warning off as it crossed the centre lines. Therefore I don’t need to feel too bad when it tells me off as it isn’t perfect either 🙂
Looking forward to seeing your KIA EV6 rest
Just need Kia or someone to lend him for a few days!
IMHO, IONIQ 5 vs TESLA MODEL Y... :
Tesla great job, max speed, range especially leveraging its shape and weight. Still prefer, being in Europe, comfort. 99% of my trips are within 200kms one way. With the Hyundai IONIQ 5, I do look forward to ventilated seats, Android Auto, the roomy and comfortable interior, and HUD. Also like reclining seats with foot rest and reclining console for arms rest, all electronic aids especially against collisions, automated parking (Executive version), blind spot cams on dashboard when turning, V2L, sun shades integrated in back doors, electric sunroof shade, wide space available inside with good visibility through the back window etc.
And the obviously efficient 400V to 800V internal battery inverter for fast charging.
Other bugs with Tesla : Model 3 too low on the ground (Model Y is a perfected Model 3); door handles too complicated for kids and scratchy with persons with long finger nails; blue jeans bleed on those too white seats.; simplistic navigation system(whereas under ANDROID AUTO: ABRP beta notably has settings for car weight, or TomTom Go 's use of all offline maps and charging stations etc. ); quality of paint jobs ; mediocre internal lighting; loud alerts and other things not so compatible with family driving.
Also 5 year car warranty illimited kms (Max 80 000 for Tesla... Reliability issues?), and 8 year battery warranty (same as Tesla).
For me as a child of the eighties, I love the design of the Ioniq 5. The Tesla’s design however is so bland, so never gets beyond thst
“What’a it like in an accident?” Took me out😂😂
I understand for what reason you compare this model Ioniq with madel Y, but What is your opinion between Ionic 5 with VW id4?
Tesla efficiency takes SOME beating, for sure - but, then they have been at the cutting edge of battery and drivetrain tech for a decade now.
But, it's great that consumers are getting a wide and varied choice of EVs now - at pretty well all ends of the spectrum.
And, once China finally decides to export to Europe and the UK, then we'll start to get such affordable EVs that, literally, no one will have the 'EVs are too expensive' excuse anymore...
Roll on...
Love the randomness of the boxing gloves, LOL!
Did you manage to get any rapidgate issues like BNyland did on his 1000Km testing ? Both iq5 and ev6 too short / small on storage compared to Tesla mY. In my opionon the nero should have been lowered in price and ev6 dropped a bit as too pricey for the average joe.
I have a feeling the boot won’t open if you are standing too close - it’s noticeable that it sweeps up in an arc that extends slightly towards you and might hit you.
That's possible, but he could have also accidentally turned off the feature. I believe there is an option for it (I had it on my previous 2018 Kia Optima SX/GT where it detects your key, the trafficator signals come on synchronously and then the boot opens).
Good review, many thanks.
Tested turning off lane assist with the button on the steering wheel. Took 3 seconds.
Isn't that what Richard said? On every journey.
@@colinnich It was claimed by another viewer it took longer. It only takes a 3 second press to turn it off. Yes, currently it comes on every time you start the car.
Polestar brakes are seezing when not in use and there having to grind down the pads.
Not sure if you’re old enough to remember Dizzy on the Amiga? Never seen the Dizzy test before.
Can you use the interior 3-pin socket to charge yourself?
Great review
.. cause everyone wears boxing gloves when the drive a car. Fun content!
Hi i am looking at purchase EV car but most on your website are sold after tesla modal 3 or S or vw ID4
I love the design 🤩
It might charger faster than Tesla Model 3 in kW, but not in miles per hour, due to it's higher consumption.
Did you had issues with low power after fastchargeing? Like Bjørn Nyland had on his presscar?
Have to say that "failure to launch" on the motorway looked as though it could be dangerous. (If it's found to be "a thing" on other cars)
This was one car and it’s amazing how that one car has been brought up in almost every Ioniq 5 review
The first images I saw of the ioniq 5 I found it a boxy car. And seeing it in video, it still looks like that, just a bit bigger than you'd think
Volvo 242/246 models ... those were boxy but handled quite well. Only positive reviews on the IONIQ 5 handling. The design is not for everyone.
Took a 24 hour test drive of the ioniq 5 a week after having a model 3 long range for a weekend. The steering wobble when in lane keeping was the same, also it would sometimes just disingage without any notice whatsoever, Basically making the feature not something you could rely on. Tesla autopilot way better! Also The lane assist was annoying as hell down country lanes and I couldn't figure out how to turn it off, To many buttons! The regen had to be reactivated every time I got back into the car with the padal shifts which is annoying. Voice control useless unless for calls. When accelerating off the line there was 1-2 second delay even in Sport mode. A couple of times it would say the key not detected in the car even when it was. I had to jump out lock it and unlock to get it to recognise the key again. infotainment I found decent with Android auto and apple car play. Plug socket under rear seat is a great feature.
Nice smooth ride and better sound proofing then the Tesla but ultimately the ioniq 5 didn't feel special to me where as the Tesla did. Good car and I'm sure it will sell well as many will be happy with it. Good to see Hyundai embracing the future.
Too many buttons? you really had 24 hours and couldn't figure out how to turn off lan assist? Really, I get it :there are better lane assists out there (including Tesla’s) but saying it has too many buttons is clearly a Tesla fans perspective. Most people dont like the absolutely minimalistic stuff in the Tesla.
Also: Regen stays where it was unless you are not in I-Pedal. The delay though is sometimes odd. Sometimes it’s instantaneous, sometimes it has a lag to it. Maybe a thing that can be fixed with an update. Also: did you check Bluelink was connected? Without it, it’s crap-
Sorry, but the way you experienced it does not apply to people who are seriously interested in a car. Before I test drove it I knew the stuff you are complaining about.
@@carroux4050 Yeah, I set my regen to level 3 on day one and haven’t had to touch it since. Lane Assist is annoying but you just press the lane assist button on the wheel for a few seconds to turn it off.
In a week of ownership I have not experienced any if the other issues.
@@carroux4050 no I didn't realise it was obvious how to turn lane assist off. Yes too many buttons when you've experienced something better i.e put the car in park and your done rather that put the car in park, apply handbreak and press the start stop button! I-pedal had to be re-engaged every time I got in the car.
Yes I knew enough about the car before I drove it but no I didn't read the manual first which with the size of it would have used up the 24 hours I had.
Ultimately the car was very good. My negitive points are my personal dislikes. Also 3 out of 5 charging stations I visited didn't work but that's wasn't the cars fault but that added to my experience overall.
@@dannyspeed Hey Danny, I get it that people have their favorites. And I guess thats perfectly fine. But as you said in your first paragraph this is, yet again, due to driver not knowing better. The Ioniq automatically goes into Park if you open the the door. This applies while the car is turned on and you open it or the car is turned off and is not in N. The start button: ok. But I guess this can't be a dealbreaker since a lot of EVs nowadays still have this button (which I assume is because of drivers used to it).
Tesla is a great example wheres design is before functionality: why'd you think Model S and Model X still have a driver dashboard? It's not about minimalism per se, but to save cost. Also one might say for a Tesla you need to get an introduction as well. How the hell should someone know how to engage Autopilot or just SCC. Even setting back the indicators can be a challenge when you start out.
I think it's unfair to report your dislikes when 80% of them are due to not knowing better...
Don't get me wrong. I like Tesla (even though you might think I don't). Model 3 and Ioniq 5 were on my shortlist. And both are excellent cars. There are pro's and cons on both sides. Viewed objectively there is no winner. :)
@@carroux4050 Its not about the driver knowing better its about how intuitive the experience is. If i put the car in park that means i'm parked if i'm in neutral then i'm obviously not parked. When on an incline you have to engage a hand-break. Otherwise why have you got these options. No experience is better when you have to put more input in to get the same result. Like the Charge port wouldn't open unless you turned the car off, but i suppose there was another obvious thing i missed on that.
People are slow to change, they like the old way of things. I had the original iphone when it came and people/media were saying they like buttons on a phone and we all know how that turned out. In my house I have Alexa controlling my lights or i have other lights on PIRs. I adopt technology quicker the most and i embrace it. When i hear people say they hate having controls on a screen yet you never see any reviewer using voice control. Most of the main stuff is automated anyway and if it aint it should be. I test drove a BMW i3s recently and told the salesman the i-drive system is terrible, his reply was its regarded as one of the best infotainments on the market. I don't want a dial to control a map i want a touch screen.
Tesla didn't save cost they embraced a different approach like Apple did under Steve Jobs and it works. You think to get software to control every aspect of the car is an easy feat? Yes down the line it saves money on buttons ect but you get better user experience imo. Some disagree and thats fine. The model 3 had short videos within the infotainment on how to engage autopilot, i admit the model S i had to google how to turn it on. Agree about the indicator stalk also that does take getting use to. I like how the ioniq automatically re-engaged auto-steer when you changed lane, where as basic autopilot you need to re-engage it.
My negative opinions obviously came out strong. If someone asked me what car to buy i would always say to get a long test drive/hire in both. At the end of the day both are excellent choices.
For Apple car play and android auto need a hard connection, best for a better response time?
In regards to the boot door not opening did you accidentally turn off the feature?
He obviously didn't since it eventually opened after a couple attempts.
@@ymcpa73 ok, thank you! I did not watch it to the point where the door actually opened.
I have hybrid and it’s better gives me 580 miles as soon as Hyundai EV hits over 400 miles per one charge I will buy it
Hyundai Ioniq 5 is good
wow you mentioned the stalks were cheap, likely every reviewer in the USA thought the stocks we far better than normal including upscale top brands.
From other reviews....Tesla ADAS is far superior. Navigation did a poor job of identifying charging locations. Not nearly as fun to drive as a Y and not nearly as powerful. Some say the lack of ventilated seats in Y leaves them with a sweaty back and some say the aircon on the Y is lacking in a hot climate. My Kia PHEV has great aircon but the ventilated seats are a disappointment. Also, the Lane Keep Assist on my Kia does not work on a sunny day with shadows on the road. Is this also a problem with Ionic? Software updates? Really concerned, my Kia has had NONE in over 3 years. Waiting to see the Genesis version since it has powered steering column, hope it will work same as Tesla. Also, my Kia Easy Exit only moves the seat rearward and does not also lower the seat. I find my driving position in my Kia very awkward/uncomfortable. I like the blind spot camera view in dash, but does it also make a sound if someone is in your blind spot? On my Kia, Lane Keep Assist is not available below approx 65 kph, how about the Ionic?
Model Y LR has pretty much the same acceleration from 0-60 as the AWD Ioniq. What are you talking about?
If you’re talking about the Y Performance then consider it has also a much higher price tag and it’s Match will be the Ioniq 5 N
@@carroux4050 I watched a Swedish review that compared the Y LR with the Ioniq 5 and also one of the (Czech?) ID 4 variants we don't get here in the US. I think the Ioniq 5 might have been the single motor which would explain its being slower. He did mention the Ioniq 5 had a larger turning circle than the Y which I found surprising since I thought the Y was pretty bad based on what I heard.
@@DiscoveryOwners yeah, the turning circle is not especially good. I guess there is no perfect car out there. :)
The boxing glove test is a deal breaker for me.
I'm guessing that on the south coast, you don't need to sit on your hands to make it seem like someone else is doing it!? But only if you've got some boxing gloves!
Are you saying that Tesla have better inside materials ????
🙄
is it satin gold?
Can't wait for your review of the Lucid Air. I think the first batch of customers have just taken delivery in the US. (Assuming it comes to the UK). Apparently it has a certified range of 520 miles.
I’m in LA now and just been to see Lucid. Unfortunately they don’t have one to drive, but it’s an interesting car. I had a nice poke around a couple of pre production models. Little video about it soon
@@RSEV Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
so is this a new car test video boxing gloves vs car what can you do
6:52 Why not use it as a driver??
Would've loved to watch all the video but there was 25 adverts cutting in
Sorry but press skip ad.
However they pay for the equipment and some of the time it takes
Use an adblocker
Nice video 👍
Would you purchase this over a Model 3 ?
Me personally no, but for many it would be the better option.
That lane assist function is enough for me to go elsewhere. Apparently you have to hold it down for 8 seconds to fully turn it off. Every time you get in the car.....no thanks!
It is annoying to have to turn it off every time, but it’s like this on all modern cars. It actually takes just 2-3 seconds of holding the dedicated button down to disable it. Compare this to ID.3 / ID.4 / Enyaq where it is three button presses on the laggy main screen.
Not being able to turn off Lane Assist permanently would be annoying.
Also that start/stop button is unnecessary.
Think I’d rather have a full pano roof than solar panels.
Not Hyu-DA-IH, but Hyun-day, like Sunday
Hi, loved the car when I test drove it recently but I could not get comfortable behind the wheel. The steering just did not come out far enough if I set the seat back to be comfortable as regards the pedals. I am not unusually tall (about 5’11”) so this was disappointing. Has anybody else reported this?
Comparing this to a car in a different class, like a model 3 is a bit pointless. A better comparison would be a model y.
Why does it remind me of Kryten from Red Dwarf? 😏
Yeah alot grey and white even you chose black interior
The boxing gloves 🤣🤣🤣
Hello mate 😁
Range is quite poor for that size of battery.
I notice that this review and others say “charges quicker than a Tesla Model 3” and never mention that it empties quicker than a Tesla Model 3 too! It takes the shine off the fast charging speed knowing that you will have to charge more often due to poor range/efficiency.
@@keithgibbons1704 Driving slow the efficiency is fine.
It’s longer and taller than an TM3. If you’re comparing range needs to be with a TMY
And we’ve compared model 3 to a y before and efficiency identical.
Ie. 250 miles quite easily
@@SDK2006b actually TM3 is longer than the Ioniq 5. 4694mm vs. 4635mm. TMY is of course longer than both at 4750mm.
Not really a review without a test drive and suspension and efficiency test.
See other video 💁♂️
Why compare it to Model 3? Should be Model Y!!
I do reference model Y but we don’t have them in this country yet. I’ve tried one, show some clips, but I cannot put side by side until next year when we get them
The model Y would be a closer comparison to the Ionic 5
Indeed, but I didn’t have one on the day. However have reviewed before and show a few clips side by side.
@@RSEV which one would yiu choose - MY or Ioniq 5?
@@Wasabi9111
"You pays your money, makes your choice"
@@Wasabi9111 Y for me, albeit I’m working on a suspension option to soften the ride a little…
@@RSEV Keep us posted on your suspension option. I think the MY is a great ev, but as i'm getting older, I found the MY ride too stiff for me
Another long range test
You can thank EU regulations for having the forced Lane Assist on as default. Cars outside Europe remember your previous setting.
Yeah, the bad bad EU… just a shame the Empire is not important enough to give it a modified set of software now UK is not in the EU anymore. Sad….
@@carroux4050 They usually just make EU-regulated car and release it for all of Europe. Norway also have this annoying setting.
I'd hope Hyundai chages their gauges and dash info with the software update. It is bonkingly useless.
...need to check again how to pronounce original Hyundai correctly, and not according to "whatever and however I feel like to"....
No spark plugs, no good.
Big Problem They don't plan on making many 2500 a month if they are lucky
Fransidoodles
RIP tesla.
Somehow no western Journalist gives any credence to Tesla's Autopilot and FSD. i would think that is a very important, even game changing feature.
Maybe, because many of AP & FSD features are not approved for use in the UK & Europe.
@@spikebmth
Autopilot?
If other systems are, Autopilot should be.
In Europe, FSD doesn't exist (yet)
I do wonder if we'll see regulators following seems to be happening in the US, moving toward "the lowest common denominator", implying "safety issues", criticising upgrades which others can't even attempt.
@@rogerstarkey5390 Sorry, I meant some features of Enhanced Autopilot aren't approved yet, the same as FSD.
I think it's because none of the autopilots are great never use it on my model 3 maybe in average speed checks and that's about it
Pmsl at hat and gloves.
Cars with all there stupid electric opening and closing are so annoying, too many potential problems as they get old
