    I switched. I had a HUGE reservation against the weight, but then saw footage in a review on my actual favorite rally road and went for a test drive anyway.... Yep this car was developed by driving enthusiast, the gears, the chassis... I forget it's an EV and the weight when driving hard on my favourite roads.
    I hear depreciation, but because the size is actually incredibly useful for me I can definitely keep it long term, and frankly if you're not put off by the Hyundai part, the total package is imho a bargain even with depreciation... The fact it does great driver's car and great family car in one car is almost priceless to me, never again will I be in the wrong car!

    I have that car and drove it for about 2000km, it's quiet like a Bentley in ECO mode and turns into a group B like moster with the push of a button. Feels much ligther than it is because of the low center of gravity and the fantastic suspension, the braking performance also makes it feel ligther. The brakes are super tough, even if you're braking very hard before hairpins, you're not loosing braking performance after several of them, which is unreal for that weight. The Pirelli tyres have fantastic grip, tyre wear as to be considered of course if the 650 PS are used all the time.
    Parking with the car key remote control is fantastic, I didn't think that I need that function, but I am actually using it all the time. The remote control on the phone for the air condition is also fantastic and super reliable. The car also can be used as 230V power outlet with up to 3.4kW! The car is surprisingly big, lots of space on the rear seats and in the trunk.
    I drive it with about 24 kwh/100km which is acceptable for me, in the city I can drive below 19 kwh, on the highway it is important to stay in the range of 110-115 km/h, at 130-140 km/h it consumes a lot of energy, close to 30 kwh.
    There is no other car on the market that offers that much for daily use for that price, is that comfortable, and turns into a beast with the push of a button.

      @@XENONEZZ2 That 19kw is city use in ECO with always pre heating the inside, heating on 21-22 degree + seat heating. On average, ECO and N Mode mixed - city, overland, highway, overland mixed, also with some serious acceleration and braking, I am at about 24 kwh, without my „serious“ driving i would estimate 21-22kwh in winter, if its only city + overland below 20kwh. When the temperatures increase you can immediately see how the energy consumption drops, but I have no reliable data on that. My EV driving friends say the difference will be significant.
      What also has to be considered that ECO mode in that car is still very powerful.

    Epic car love it
    I’ve had M3’s 4’s 5’s all RS’s been on manufacturer track days with M and RS and this thing is amazing
    It’s a Swiss Army knife of cars it will do it all - family holiday, go to the shops, school run, cross country blast, motorway limo, hot hatch, fast suv, take on and beat most supercars, take it on track days with Hyundai warranty approval
    - and during the week do the commute to work and back cheaper than taking the bus (using home charger if course)
    It’s an astonishing car
    Not sure if you were in the damp Ped but it will limit your power it won’t give you full power and torque if it’s damp it’s a funny 4x4 system a bit like xdrive you will feel it catch that slip then it’s full 4x4 but it’s drip feeding that power
    Only when it’s dry will you really feel the power - best setting is Sport and boost I rarely bother with launch control
    On twisties N shifts
    N setting with N Brake is incredible you can track day without using the brake pedal it has crazy hard regen braking in that mode but you can’t use N shift
    Lots of settings a tweeks but when you get your head round it

    I drove one back in the summer and absolutely loved it. I’d test driven a 991.1 C4S a few days before and that was just boring compared. It just goes to prove that it’s not the drivetrain that makes a car boring. You can get amazing Petrol, Diesel and Electric cars. You can also get really boring Petrol, Diesel and Electric cars. It’s the best car I’ve driven in a long time. The only thing that put me off was the depreciation from buying a new £65k car. You can get one new for around £60k now though and it is very tempting 🤣.

      @@PetrolPed yeah I’m sure there’s deals to be had on these with the EV quotas. I was like you in the video when I drove it and was simply amazed at how much it delivered the hot hatch experience, despite its drivetrain, size and weight. What I also love about it is that it’s just so practical, with great interior space (as you also mentioned). I suppose the range isn’t amazing, but I rarely do huge journeys to be honest. Very tempting, but I’m kind of hoping that other manufacturers will also take note and we start getting more driver focused/‘petrol head’ focused EVs.

    Had mine for 3 weeks and its an epic car. Believe all the hype, its very good and dont get hung up on the weight figure - it really does not feel like a 2.2 tonne car. I came from a Golf R Mk8 and although the N is bigger, it does not handle any worse than the Golf R which is 700kg lighter. God knows how they've done it. This thing defies the laws of physics.
    The Golf R is a great all--rounder and so is the 5N, but on steroids. The performance is not even comparable as this thing is so fast. And its very comfortable for a performance car. I actually think its more comfortable than the Golf R that had DCC. Don't miss the R one bit.
    The 5N is not just brilliant as an EV, its brilliant as a car, full stop (ICE included).

    Next year Kia its sister company will be bringing the face lifted EV6 GT with the same set up. So artificial gears and 650hp with boost. So then you will have a choice of two styles. I currently have the Kia EV6 GT and I love the car it is blisteringly quick with 585hp on tap. But after a while the speed/acceleration almost becomes irrelevant and the thing that you miss from a performance ICE cars is the noise and sensation. This solves a lot of those things petrol heads love.
    People moan that it’s artificial noise, but let’s be honest a lot of great ICE cars (M3 for example) have the sound pumped through the speakers due to noise legislations etc these days. Top job the Hyundai/Kia group are doing. And the smile on your face Ped says everything 👍.

    • @onehorsepower
      @onehorsepower 5 дней назад +3

      Yep. And while I hated the fake noises in my three previous petrol cars, this one is done good enough to make me forget it's an EV when it matters, i.e. occupied actually driving.

    Brilliant video! What an absolutely incredible job Hyundai have done with this car, I think in so doing they’ve rather pulled the trousers down of other major manufacturers by producing something absolutely game-changing. This is a watershed moment, a line in the sand, a new benchmark, accessible supercar performance, I mean it hits the ton (where limits allow) in about 8 seconds! That’s Turbo S territory!! Pure madness! But does what other EVs haven’t done, gives us the some old school character and thrill - something like this was badly needed if we were ever going to be tempted from our ICE icons. The problem now is how I can fit the 5N into my life, with that range, how would it work on the cross country road trips through Wales, Scotland, the Dales, places this car deserves to be enjoyed, but factoring in the range and the limited charging infrastructure in those locations. Another video may be in order Pete! A real world blat round the NC500 for example, does it work in those scenarios, is the infrastructure there to support where we want to take this car and where it deserves to be. By the way, I cannot believe Evo overlooked this car for ECOTY… wtf were they thinking!!

    Probably your finest video Peter and a very important one. You definitely have a foot in both camps which is a good thing. A point well made about range. A thirsty petrol V8 will struggle to do more than 250 miles for sure and on urban cycle will absolutely drink the stuff. More cars like the Ioniq 5N as halo models will ease the transition and be great PR. The tipping point is closer than many people think and remaining enthusiast’s ICE cars will be all the more cherished. This goes to prove though that the propulsion system is not the be all and end all. After all ICE cars have become progressively heavier, more complex and less analogue in recent years anyway 👍

    Had mine since June as a company salary sacrifice when Tesla gimped the UK M3P battery I decided to try something else.
    its cheap as chips for what you get on these schemes with the tax savings, and at the time was cheaper than the new Tesla, not sure if that’s still true now.
    It’s an awesome all rounder. In normal mode it’s just an every day ioniq that munches miles. In N mode its personality totally changes as per peds experience. I’ve done just under 10k miles total and get about 235 miles from a £5 or so overnight charge in regular driving, although it drops to about 200 in zero conditions or if you are pushing it hard. Im ok with that, my evo 9 and bmw M cars used to get 150 miles from a tank that even back in the day cost loads more than it does to fill the 5N.
    I thought I’d want another Elise or other petrol car to go with it for weekend blasts, but that want seems to have faded away as I have more than enough fun in the 5N. It also generally seems to charge quicker than my Tesla did on public chargers.

    I got to test drive a 5N at an EV expo in Long Beach. I loved the handling and suspension, and the traction control is lively - didn’t make the car feel like it’s on rails. . I wasn’t in to the fake sounds or retro feel - especially because the latter slows it down vs just having all the power all the time 🤷‍♀️. But I’m an EV person for over 10 years.

    ah man, i have a regular ioniq 5 (awd 320bhp) and thats pretty nippy itself for its size, i cant really imagine double the power but i wish i had it. However for the box of tricks the N is i think Hyundai are missing a trick here... the gear shifts, the sound, its all software, how hard could it be to give a wider variety of sounds and characteristics... you could basically choose your engine on a given day, want a v10 with a 10k rev limit then choose it, how about a v8 burble and lazy 7k rev limit, ferrari v12... lets go. They have shown they have the ability to create a convincing sound, the ability to manipulate the drive train/motors to behave like an engine with that rev limit. There is just so much they could do with it that would just blow you away further i feel. Maybe they just wanted it to have its own unique identity and not turn it into a kids toy but gosh if thats not something very cool they could play with in future. As an ioniq 5 owner my one disappointment with hyundai is their lack of taking advantage of over the air updates, things like the drivers display could have multiple options when it comes to what is displayed and how but they just have not bothered to tweak or update anything and i feel that may be the same story with the N... the possibilities with OTA updates could unlock so much potential and flavor, more options, more sounds etc but they are pretty lazy on that front it seems.
    My dream car that 5N though, i must have one.

      ​@@PetrolPedThat seems to be a standard comment on reviews of this car, and it's clearly written by people who haven't gotten behind the wheel of one. It has soul in spades. If anyone drives one without laughing their ass off the whole time, then THEY'RE the ones with no soul.
      I've had mine for three months now and it still makes me giggle on a regular basis. Every time I show it off, my passengers have the same reaction. Isn't having non-stop fun behind the wheel the textbook definition of a vehicle with soul?

  • @michaelanderson3771
    @michaelanderson3771 5 дней назад +3

    It is a brilliant concept.
    Even if Hyudai had that sound and feel in a 300 kW or 200 kW EV it would be a game changer and make those that love cars have the sensory feel of driving a drivers sports car.
    IMO it could even be the smallest of EV that would just change the game forever.
    Whilst I have not driven the Ionic 5N I feel it might be like driving a driving game simulator on the road.
    The noise and gear changes as per Gran Turismo however actually in a car, where you get the real world feedback as you throw the car through its paces.
    Would have loved to have seen that on the ice drift circuit in Italy up against the Maserati.

    • @onehorsepower
      @onehorsepower 5 дней назад +1

      There is a reason it's on this platform. It spelled 800V. Which is key to it's massive regen braking giving it relative great track range, and track endurance as 800V is much more heat efficient. This remains the most affordable 800V platform, and it's quite big. In true hot hatch fashion, the Ioniq 5 basis maximises the paracticality of the platform. Making it less practical or sportscar wouldn't have saved much weight.
      That said, I do hope smaller 800V platforms come along to spread this fun in smaller and lighter cars.

    It will be interesting to do a data download on these cars after a year to find how quickly drivers get fed up with the noises and turn it off. I suspect that it will be like many other optional electronics and only be used ocassionally by most drivers. Otherwise seems like a reasonable car.

Great video as usual, from someone who has never been in an electric car let alone driven one, if it were possible to have one I might consider this one. But living in a house that was built before the car was invented it is impossible to have a charger fitted that would connect to the car without having cables across the pavement, so out of the question. Wishing you and Lady Tracy and all the Peddlers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 👍

    17:25 I don’t want to do them a disservice here, but it’s probably not that complicated considering how much control they have over the torque generated by the motors. Just match the torque curves of an ICE and it’ll drive like an ICE.

    • @onehorsepower
      @onehorsepower 5 дней назад +3

      Still takes lots of programming to actually make it behave like a gas car through the gears and make it feel in sync with the noise. If it felt only a little off it would feel like utter junk. Now you literally forget you're driving a EV, that is, if you want that. And that's a big yes for me, regular EVs are great in their own way but the lack of engagement can't be ignored by a "petrolhead" who cares about the driving (but not necessarily the actual principle nature of the drivetrain)...

    I do wonder whether there is some sound design research to be done where we identify an equivalent electrified sound that evokes the same aural sensation as the synthesised engine sound, that would create a genuine transition moment for EVs rather than harking back to ICE sounds. So far the sounds we hear from EVs are stupid UFO type sounds, but there must be something else!
