I like how you include "thoughts after a week" normally a car reviewer either experiences the car for the first time while recording the video, or they already had some time with the vehicle prior to recording their video. Idk, seeing your reaction of the car before and after a week of driving it gives the review a sense of like "oh, he's one of us, he's a normal everyday person who is genuinely committed to experience the car and tell us what he really thinks about it". Cheers to you, brother.
Agreed! Honestly you should do like a 5-10 minute first impression summarized review of the driving experience and vehicle in general. Then do a 5-10 minute after a week with part. We like to see your genuine initial reactions, then give honest feedback to what it’s like to live with for people who may actually consider buying it. I think that format would do really well!
THIS IS THE ONE!!!!! Finally! I, too, have been waiting for this car and specifically your review since it was announced. I absolutely need to get a test drive in this thing ASAP. Now, I just need to find some way to talk my wife into selling her eTron early and grabbing this instead. Or perhaps, this is the next car after the Taycan. I need to get this thing somehow - it really looks like everything I had possibly hoped for and more. But.... it's gotta be in blue. That's a requirement for any N car.
IONIQ 5N is much better than Taycan As a high-performance EV, there is a big difference between the two in terms of price, performance and fun. A Chinese car RUclipsr tested the driving performance of five high-performance EVs on a track. 612hp Lotus Electre S+, 408hp Porsche Taycan, 461hp Tesla model3 performance, 641hp IONIQ 5N, 673hp Shaomi SU7. Each car was driven around the track as many times as it could run to test its performance and limits. Lotus. lap1 2:01.81 Taycan lap1 2:05.91 lap2 2:06:88 TESLA lap1 2:06.85 IONIQ 5N lap1 1:56.33 lap2 1:55.68 lap3 1:56.25 lap4 1:56.98 lap5 1:56.70 SU7 failed to complete a single lap due to a ruptured brake on the track. The Taycan is limited to two laps due to poor brake performance and overheating of the battery. IONIQ 5N completed five and a half laps. The brake pads were almost worn out and the brake discs were very overheated. In fact, before the test The brake pads and tires of the IONIQ 5N were almost worn out due to the need to hastily borrow a vehicle that had been driven to the extreme in numerous test drives elsewhere. Despite this, IONIQ 5N overwhelms Taycan. Previously, the RUclipsr tested IONIQ 5N on the same track and drove more than 10 laps in a row.
While I don't ever see myself in an EV I have to admit that I like this vehicle. great video, always like your enthusiasm when presenting the latest and greatest.
Thank you for this review. It seems you got a little emotional driving this thing. Maybe subaruwrxfan type excitement. I'll be buying next year. Ioniq 6n, if available, will be on my short list, along with this one. Thanks again for the review.
This is one of the coolest cars released in a long time in my opinion because of what they did with the simulated internal combustion engine vehicle. When is the next acceleration reaction compilation video coming out? Those are so much fun to watch.
Great review.. I never thought the day would come when I would really want an EV! Hyundai have smashed this one out.. it truly covers everything you could want from a car. EV, space, practicality, looks, performance and driver focused FUN! Let’s not forget one of the best warranties available, What’s not to like?
I would love to see the Juniper Model Y Performance, when it comes out, to be compared to the HI5N. This is time to be alive. I can’t wait to see what Genesis has to offer and how they’ll redo the Kia EV6 GT. The performance you get is amazing especially with something that gives you that much space. ❤
Wish a non matte version of the blue was available. Still if I were to buy an EV right now, this would probably be on the top of my list. Not the best in range, but for sure the most fun, with tons of features. Agreed with your points: more color and color for interior, pano roof option, and wish the seats were power and memory. Great video Matt 👍
It looks real nice in white/black just needs some aftermarket wheels. I hate the other color with the cheap looking grey metallic plastic front rear bumpers. The last video I watched on your channel was the WRX fanboy drives an EVO...😄
I wanted one of these for an around town family car (newborn). Love everything about it. HOWEVER, Lease rates are atrocious. I’ll put it in a frame of reference for you. I have a 24 Denali Ultimate with a sticker of 88,200. Same money down, apples to apples, $915 for truck. 1140 for Ionic………Once Hyundai adjusts the MF/Residual and these can be leased for 600-750 a month. It’ll be tempting as hell.
2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. 🔥💪🏼A really cool fully electric car. 😎 But... you (Hyundai) should drop your own weight -50 or 80 kilos less, than the current one!. 😡
Hello 👋, great content 👏 👌 👍 This video reminded me of older videos you made in the past, VERY engaging to watch Question, will this work at tesla superchargers 🤔 or any tesla chargers 🤔 & will running the ac or heat tax the range like in a nissan leaf.. in that car, just turning on ac you loose 50 miles lol Keep up the great content 👏 👌 👍
Hyundai has announced support for Superchargers, but there's been no recent update on exactly when this year. It appears that there's still a few bugs Hyundai is working on with the compatibility. The Ioniq has a heat pump so range won't be affected as much in winter. Running A/C didn't have any effect on the range in my week with this.
Matt, what a fun review! To be clear on the droning sound from the artificial exhaust, if you choose the exact engine sound you had it in and put it in 'Auto', it will drone at 65 mph? And if I hear you correctly, if you shift manually in that same chosen sound it will not drone as much in the highest 'Gear'? (I realize it can be quite in no sound mode). Fun car! 👍
Thanks! It only drones if you're not in the 8-speed mode. If you don't pull the paddles, the geared mode will operate like a normal automatic, and in that setting there's no drone as well, same as if you were using the paddles.
Hell yeah, I've been waiting for this review from you all year too! I went to a dealer a few days ago to finally see the IONIQ 5 N in person for the first time. They had 10k markup which was expected. They sold a matte blue one before for 20k markup, which is insane.
Went to get one today...but its like 150km less then my awd long range. Not sure if the 30k$ increase is worth it for me. I gave an order for a 2025 to swap ny 2022 with. I want the rear wiper 😂
Great review! Time to replace the Mach-E then? Family hauler, plus fun when you want it. Seems like everyone wins that way! That's what our Model Y Perf is for us 👍🏼
Thanks for the great review! I test drove one a few weeks ago and was blown away, too. I actually have an M2 on order but am thinking about getting a 5N instead! What do you think would be a more fun car to drive on a daily basis? Another benefit to the 5N is I have solar so "gas" would be nearly free. 🙂
Love the car, and more so after test driving a friend’s. And am so close to convincing the whole family it’s the next car for Dad. 😊 Although, what are your thoughts on paint finish. He has the black and the paint is very lack lustre for the price of the car, heaps of orange peal and just a bit meh. The other colours like that or just the black? I am currently driving BMW so maybe the standard is too high?
Once a week I keep searching 100 mile radius for Ioniq 5 N's. The same 26 models for the last 8 weeks+ have been there. None has sold. One of those dealers even has a $9.995 market adjustment added! Beautiful car and I'd get one but $1000 a month lease with $5,000 down is just completely out of reach and not worth it. Great review Matt as always!
@lexusflip5096 The lease deal for its gotten pricer by the month. When i got mine it was at 800 something before taxes. i think they actually want the leasees to buyout the car after 2 years
Market adjustment as in a reduction, or as in a scummy dealer markup? I don't care how good a car is - if a dealer is marking it up, they can eat dirt.
@@falxonPSN I went up to San Jose to visit family last weekend, and went to two dealerships. Both said there is limited stock available, and wanted a mark-up of about $9,000. Also you can't test drive the cars unless you sign an agreement on the price and do a credit check - as if you are already buying the car. They told me that all of the Ionic 5N's they get in are pre-sold, mostly sight unseen. So here I am, wanted to test drive one in white, and no dealership was able to help me.
My dealership in Carmel IN has had an orange one for the past 4-5 weeks. I wish there would be an option to have orange stitching instead of the blue and to have orange seatbelts.
Great review Matt! If they add power memory to the seats, and an easy view of artist /song I'm sold. Thats my biggest complaint of my Mach-E...you cant see artist and title of song anywhere without being on the full radio screen.
DAB radio can’t see artist/song on the split screens which is strange considering how much space there is even in split screens. You have to have the whole screen on radio
Drove mine at the track first time last weekend. Hyundai delivered amazing ev track car that can withstand the socal desert heat and perform. The tires that comes with the car was very disappointing, but who runs stock tires at the track? lol. Honestly, if you aren’t going to track the car, it’s an overkill.
Great review! This really is beginning to change my mind on the whole fake audio thing in EV’s. I’m glad you had a chance to review this one, looks like an absolute riot!
Huh? It’s a brand new car that will do 0-60 in 3 seconds, has all the latest tech, costs about £7 to fully charge overnight, can comfortably seat all your family and has a good size boot etc etc etc…….name me a brand new petrol car that will do the same for less money. I’ll wait. 😊
I can't imagine it going away after the effusive praise from everyone that has tried it. Plus, other than the up-front development, it costs nothing to put into the cars - it's all software. So hopefully, the trend continues!
Model Y for $25,000 cheaper (with $7,500 credit), has way more space, more range and an actual functional charging network. Sure, this has the racer appeal for very narrow, dedicated audience, but that kind of +50% price premium is hard to justify.
@@MattMaranMotoringthat would be wrong. Nuruburing lap times. 5N- 7:45 M2- 7:38 The m2 is faster from a roll and only loses from a dig because it's RWD only. If u got a m3 or m4 xdrive it would be better in literally every performance metric. But the m2 def has its winning categories.
M2 is more nimble and has better handling. S58 with just a jb4 or racechip can push well over 650hp. From a roll the m2 would be faster. It only loses from a dig do to it being RWD.
@@G82Watts That's why I said aside from the extra weight. The M2 is 1,000 lbs lighter, so the 7 seconds quicker on the Nurburgring is to be expected. I don't believe the roll race claim, stock vs stock, the 200 extra hp and no shifting in the N should pull harder.
@@MattMaranMotoring u said "performing better in every way" clearly handling, driving dynamics, braking, top speed all going to the m2 isn't "performing better in every way". U made it sound like despite the extra weight it still was better. A roll race would be interesting though. I think starting from 50-60 the m2 would win but anything lower the 5n would.
While that seems exciting... we already have that normal stuff with all the normal ICE vehicles. I know the world governments are pushing this EV agenda for a false sense of saving the earth, but I don't see the point of trying to create an EV that does all this, when you can get a normal car for much cheaper. Manufacturers (porsche/ ford etc) are seeing that EV productions are not selling like they hoped and will be selling normal ICE vehicles for longer, which is good. There just isn't the infrastructure for all these EVs yet. They need to keep making and selling normal cars as long as possible, create some more hybrids if you want that, and keep the EVs for those few that want to "save the planet" (good luck with that). Another great video thought Matt, and I would like to drive this just to test it out, but again, I like my gas powered cars!
I think if all electric cars had a little bit more range, the charging network was slightly more reliable & all ev cars had an opportunity for sounds or “E shifting” personally the sales would increase at least for enthusiasts lol
Love the way this video was done and a detailed review of the car. Car looks like it is fun to drive, I have always enjoyed your reactions to the cars since Subaruwrxfan. I appreciate the quality work and the delivery to us car guys. 🙂
Intriguing for an electric vehicle. If hyundai can make different engine sounds, if possible, do updates on diferent types of engine noises. V6 turbo, or even better a v8 sounds! Even if its pay to play option, ill still consider it! Good review Matt! 😎👍
Apparently, the upgraded/updated EV6 GT will get a couple of features from the 5N, including the E-Shifting and dynamic sound. This may be part of the reason why they are so heavily discounting the outgoing model. I think even motor performance will be the same. And probably even less range than the 5N now has, but for day to day driving for most people that's not an issue, I guess. I had a testdrive with the 5N and I had a blast. Over here (Belgium) we do get the HUD and pano roof. Pano roof is an option, HUD is standard.
This is an awesome vehicle, would love to drive it myself sometime! Question - do you ever plan to move to 4k quality? I think your videos would look so much better in UHD!
I've been back and forth on whether to switch to 4k. I already did for the weekly updates and it didn't help the view counts at all. In past livestreams when I've brought it up, everyone says the videos look great even on a TV still, so that kind of swayed me away from investing in the equipment needed to make the reviews 4k. But it's something I'll need to do eventually, just not sure when.
@@MattMaranMotoring I wouldn't think it'd make much, if any, impact on a weekly update where most things are static. However, when it comes to filming the cars I notice a big difference between your quality and competing channels. I only say this as an outsider looking in. I know you just sold your mustang due to this channel's performance, I am really so sorry you had to go to those lengths to keep things afloat. That all said, I wish you and your channel success and growth!!
@@ashesofourpast Thank you for your feedback, that's really helpful about the competitors. If you don't mind me asking, are you usually watching on a big TV/monitor or are you even noticing a difference in quality on smaller devices?
@@MattMaranMotoring I am split 50/50 honestly. I consume RUclips content between a 32" 4k OLED and an iPhone 15 pro max. I will say on the iPhone the differences are slightly less noticeable compared to the monitor.
Having the fake shifting and sounds makes all the difference. Didn't know anything about this until seeing your post. This would make me interested if I were in the market for an EV.
Mmmm… not "car of the year," but rather "performance race car of the year." It's too much car, has too much power, for the majority of daily drivers, who would be much more comfortable in a "regular" Ioniq 5 like mine.
I know its out the budget for most but the new taycan lineup is the benchmark for EVs that still have the DNA of a true sports car. If were being real its simply the all around GOAT of EVs.
As a Taycan owner, I have to say, the Generation II Taycans are pretty awesome, but wildly expensive (and just forget about the Taycan Turbo GT - that is $250k+ STARTING price). Plus, Porsche's software even on the new generation is terrible, and it does matter if you are using it daily. I want to drive this thing, but I would actually consider swapping from Taycan to this just for the fun stuff like the shifts and torque/drift options.
Great review Matt but $70k for a mobile video game isn’t in my future. 2x what I paid for my Boss 302 that doesn’t require fake noise to put a smile on my face.
FYI every time you hit the gas and let off to make the exhaust noises you also activate the brake lights. As a result you are flashing your tail lights to the car behind you. I wish Hyundai would fix this.
@@MelodicMurder Sure but that's irrelevant to brake lights turning on. Whether you use the brakes or the car regens on its own, when it passes a certain level of g force threshold in slowing down it will turn the brakes on, just like every other EV
@@bradenmchenry995 It shouldn't really matter, these are manufactured in limited number. A few of them sitting around shouldn't hurt Hyundai much at all. There are companies with years worth of cars sitting in their lot. Tens of thousands of specific models. However, even if I5N isn't selling as well, I wouldn't be surprised if this car helped increase sales for their lower trim Ioniq 5 and other models.

Thank you, I’m glad you like the format!
Agreed. It's a nice extra.
Agreed! RUclips should really be advertising your "my week with" videos much more to help your views because of the genuine real world review.
Agreed! Honestly you should do like a 5-10 minute first impression summarized review of the driving experience and vehicle in general. Then do a 5-10 minute after a week with part.

This is on my bucketlist of "MUST DRIVE" cars for sure
Test drove 5N few weeks ago, absolutely mental EV!
This car is a masterpiece seriously!
4 weeks till ours arrives! Also ordered in this white.
UK car also has a panoramic roof, its the only option.
Congrats on your order! I'm sure you'll love it!

I'm glad you liked it! I hope you can get one eventually! I wish they offered the Performance Blue in a glossy finish on this.
@@MattMaranMotoring yeah, the matte only option is unfortunate.
IONIQ 5N is much better than Taycan
As a high-performance EV, there is a big difference between the two in terms of price, performance and fun.
A Chinese car RUclipsr tested the driving performance of five high-performance EVs on a track.
612hp Lotus Electre S+, 408hp Porsche Taycan, 461hp Tesla model3 performance, 641hp IONIQ 5N, 673hp Shaomi SU7.
Each car was driven around the track as many times as it could run to test its performance and limits.
Lotus. lap1 2:01.81
Taycan lap1 2:05.91 lap2 2:06:88
TESLA lap1 2:06.85
IONIQ 5N lap1 1:56.33 lap2 1:55.68 lap3 1:56.25 lap4 1:56.98 lap5 1:56.70
SU7 failed to complete a single lap due to a ruptured brake on the track.
The Taycan is limited to two laps due to poor brake performance and overheating of the battery.
IONIQ 5N completed five and a half laps. The brake pads were almost worn out and the brake discs were very overheated.
In fact, before the test
The brake pads and tires of the IONIQ 5N were almost worn out due to the need to hastily borrow a vehicle that had been driven to the extreme in numerous test drives elsewhere.
Despite this, IONIQ 5N overwhelms Taycan.
Previously, the RUclipsr tested IONIQ 5N on the same track and drove more than 10 laps in a row.
That white looks clean 👌🏼 what a fun car and reasonably priced considering the performance and features
the most gorgeous SUV crossover i've ever seen

Looks good.
Love this car lol
Great review! This really is beginning to change my mind on the whole fake audio thing in EV’s. I’m glad you had a chance to review this one, looks like an absolute riot!
Looks great but ouch that price
Huh? It’s a brand new car that will do 0-60 in 3 seconds, has all the latest tech, costs about £7 to fully charge overnight, can comfortably seat all your family and has a good size boot etc etc etc…….name me a brand new petrol car that will do the same for less money.
I’ll wait. 😊
Great car.
I’m so curious if in the future this’ll be the start of ev’s having these ICE modes. Maybe a one off idea or the next standard
I can't imagine it going away after the effusive praise from everyone that has tried it. Plus, other than the up-front development, it costs nothing to put into the cars - it's all software. So hopefully, the trend continues!
It's too well accepted to be a one off. It will continue on.
From what I heard, it gets about 250 mile range if driven conservatively. Not great, but not bad.
Model Y for $25,000 cheaper (with $7,500 credit), has way more space, more range and an actual functional charging network. Sure, this has the racer appeal for very narrow, dedicated audience, but that kind of +50% price premium is hard to justify.
Looks like quite the fun ev .. I tested a M3P and had a blast.
How does this compare to a BMW M2?
I mean it’s totally different but also higher performing in every way aside from the extra weight in this.
@@MattMaranMotoringthat would be wrong. Nuruburing lap times. 5N- 7:45
M2- 7:38
The m2 is faster from a roll and only loses from a dig because it's RWD only. If u got a m3 or m4 xdrive it would be better in literally every performance metric. But the m2 def has its winning categories.
M2 is more nimble and has better handling. S58 with just a jb4 or racechip can push well over 650hp. From a roll the m2 would be faster. It only loses from a dig do to it being RWD.
@@G82Watts That's why I said aside from the extra weight. The M2 is 1,000 lbs lighter, so the 7 seconds quicker on the Nurburgring is to be expected. I don't believe the roll race claim, stock vs stock, the 200 extra hp and no shifting in the N should pull harder.
@@MattMaranMotoring u said "performing better in every way" clearly handling, driving dynamics, braking, top speed all going to the m2 isn't "performing better in every way". U made it sound like despite the extra weight it still was better. A roll race would be interesting though. I think starting from 50-60 the m2 would win but anything lower the 5n would.
While that seems exciting... we already have that normal stuff with all the normal ICE vehicles. I know the world governments are pushing this EV agenda for a false sense of saving the earth, but I don't see the point of trying to create an EV that does all this, when you can get a normal car for much cheaper. Manufacturers (porsche/ ford etc) are seeing that EV productions are not selling like they hoped and will be selling normal ICE vehicles for longer, which is good. There just isn't the infrastructure for all these EVs yet. They need to keep making and selling normal cars as long as possible, create some more hybrids if you want that, and keep the EVs for those few that want to "save the planet" (good luck with that). Another great video thought Matt, and I would like to drive this just to test it out, but again, I like my gas powered cars!
Can't you turn that sound off when driving normally
i love what Hyundai did here.
but bought a tesla due to being 700lbs lighter and $35k cheaper in australia lol
The new model 3 performance seems like a better value especially after the tax credit.
Awesome
Love the styling but thats about it.
I think if all electric cars had a little bit more range, the charging network was slightly more reliable & all ev cars had an opportunity for sounds or “E shifting” personally the sales would increase at least for enthusiasts lol
It's too big, heavy and expensive but I can appreciate Hyundai trying to bring some personality to EVs.
@@lexusflip5096 I like small, light cars. Not heavy SUVs. To each is own.
5n goat ev
Love the way this video was done and a detailed review of the car. Car looks like it is fun to drive, I have always enjoyed your reactions to the cars since Subaruwrxfan. I appreciate the quality work and the delivery to us car guys. 🙂
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it!
Some dealers are asking for a $15k markup on top of $4k add ons. Heck no!
The Elantra N the better fun car? Slower of course but more pure.. lighter too, real sounds
What a auto-eco destroyer! You can do anything w ith it'
I eill ger 2 of these when i win the lottery. Lol
For the algorithm
Intriguing for an electric vehicle. If hyundai can make different engine sounds, if possible, do updates on diferent types of engine noises. V6 turbo, or even better a v8 sounds! Even if its pay to play option, ill still consider it! Good review Matt! 😎👍
Thanks! I agree, I'd love to be able to listen to a Ferrari V12 haha.
if they had the LFA sound, i’d buy it forsure.
Apparently, the upgraded/updated EV6 GT will get a couple of features from the 5N, including the E-Shifting and dynamic sound. This may be part of the reason why they are so heavily discounting the outgoing model. I think even motor performance will be the same. And probably even less range than the 5N now has, but for day to day driving for most people that's not an issue, I guess. I had a testdrive with the 5N and I had a blast. Over here (Belgium) we do get the HUD and pano roof. Pano roof is an option, HUD is standard.
Interesting, thanks for sharing! I hope they offer the pano roof here next year then.
That steering wheel shamelessly copies button gimmicks from Porsche, Mercedes, and BMW M cars. Car looks and sounds great though.
So Hyundai is a lot more fun and more practical and more comfortable, than a Porsche Macan/Taycan, right?
This is an awesome vehicle, would love to drive it myself sometime!
Question - do you ever plan to move to 4k quality? I think your videos would look so much better in UHD!
I've been back and forth on whether to switch to 4k. I already did for the weekly updates and it didn't help the view counts at all. In past livestreams when I've brought it up, everyone says the videos look great even on a TV still, so that kind of swayed me away from investing in the equipment needed to make the reviews 4k. But it's something I'll need to do eventually, just not sure when.
@@MattMaranMotoring I wouldn't think it'd make much, if any, impact on a weekly update where most things are static. However, when it comes to filming the cars I notice a big difference between your quality and competing channels. I only say this as an outsider looking in. I know you just sold your mustang due to this channel's performance, I am really so sorry you had to go to those lengths to keep things afloat.
That all said, I wish you and your channel success and growth!!
@@ashesofourpast Thank you for your feedback, that's really helpful about the competitors. If you don't mind me asking, are you usually watching on a big TV/monitor or are you even noticing a difference in quality on smaller devices?
@@MattMaranMotoring I am split 50/50 honestly. I consume RUclips content between a 32" 4k OLED and an iPhone 15 pro max. I will say on the iPhone the differences are slightly less noticeable compared to the monitor.
If I HAD to get a ev, it would be this
Having the fake shifting and sounds makes all the difference. Didn't know anything about this until seeing your post. This would make me interested if I were in the market for an EV.
🙂👍
Mmmm… not "car of the year," but rather "performance race car of the year." It's too much car, has too much power, for the majority of daily drivers, who would be much more comfortable in a "regular" Ioniq 5 like mine.
Gotta admit this thing is fucking sick
Awesome car but that dashboard is 🤮🤮 gotta feel like driving a 650hp mini van inside lol
I know its out the budget for most but the new taycan lineup is the benchmark for EVs that still have the DNA of a true sports car. If were being real its simply the all around GOAT of EVs.
As a Taycan owner, I have to say, the Generation II Taycans are pretty awesome, but wildly expensive (and just forget about the Taycan Turbo GT - that is $250k+ STARTING price). Plus, Porsche's software even on the new generation is terrible, and it does matter if you are using it daily. I want to drive this thing, but I would actually consider swapping from Taycan to this just for the fun stuff like the shifts and torque/drift options.
@@falxonPSN what makes porsches software bad? It doesn't lag at all, speech to text works perfectly, etc..
Great review Matt but $70k for a mobile video game isn’t in my future. 2x what I paid for my Boss 302 that doesn’t require fake noise to put a smile on my face.
FYI every time you hit the gas and let off to make the exhaust noises you also activate the brake lights. As a result you are flashing your tail lights to the car behind you. I wish Hyundai would fix this.
They won’t fix it because regen makes the car slow down to varying degrees. It’s probably a safety thing.
Literally every EV with Regen braking turns the brake lights on when you lift off the accelerator and it slows down
@@enmass90 not this ev. You can disable regen in specific modes.
@@AdamJakowenko not this ev. In one mode you can disable the regen. However you can’t disable the regen in the N e Shift mode.
@@MelodicMurder Sure but that's irrelevant to brake lights turning on. Whether you use the brakes or the car regens on its own, when it passes a certain level of g force threshold in slowing down it will turn the brakes on, just like every other EV
id buy that car if it wasnt electric
I don’t know who the market for this is. A riced out electric suv for 70 grand?
It's a 641hp monster for people with money.
@@xaionikconsidering they’re not selling at all…
@@bradenmchenry995 It shouldn't really matter, these are manufactured in limited number. A few of them sitting around shouldn't hurt Hyundai much at all. There are companies with years worth of cars sitting in their lot. Tens of thousands of specific models.
However, even if I5N isn't selling as well, I wouldn't be surprised if this car helped increase sales for their lower trim Ioniq 5 and other models.
This is the first electric 'sports car' in human history.
MOONROOF ... YES ... WTF???
