The issue with the sequence shown at 2:26 is that the electrically powered tailgate also needs a working 12V battery to unlock and open, so this sequence doesn't work! Andrew Till shows what to do in this situation here: ruclips.net/video/A4NUdNWyocM/видео.html
Regarding HDA (highway driving assist), do the car *and* the driver *simultaneously* control the wheel? I recently rented a Hyundai Santa Fe, and I really liked how its steering-assistance system worked. In short, it doesn’t pretend to be a self-driving car: the driver always steers the car all the time, but the car does so too (when it can confidently do so). You’re always in-control, but if something distracts you, the chances are high that the car will steer itself correctly. It is a safety-backup system, not a fake self-driving system. Is that how it works on the Ioniq 5 too? From what I saw in this video, I *think* the answer is “yes.” Last I checked at least, Tesla Autopilot has distinct “car is driving” vs. “you are driving” modes. Yes, you still keep your hands on the wheel, ready to intervene, but if you provide too much steering input, Autopilot disengages. Why?
the car and the driver simultaneously control the wheel. It doesn't disengage even if you provide too much steering input. You have to exclusively push a button to disengage HDA2/LKA, so it's the same as Santa Fe
I have 2021 Santa Fe with all the active driving features, and I love it. However, if you see my comment above, I'm horrified by the stupidity of 'punishing' an inattentive driver by disengaging the active driving features. If the vehicle can maintain lane position, it most certainly has the capability to change a lane. If it can do that, it is unforgivable not to maneuver the vehicle to the shoulder and bring it to a stop BEFORE deactivating!
My son just bought this car last week and it so amazing They call this a car I call this a suv loll,it bigger then my suv Ford Escape Fantastic driving !! Take the extended warranty it very important If your in mtl area send me a message you will paid less I guaranteed you
All those automatic handles and the charging cover, do they open and close well during winter in Canada? Does it freeze and becomes hard to open and close??
Those are good questions; I watched a video on the Ioniq 5 that was made by a guy in New Jersey. He noted that you can actually use the car's app to instruct the main battery to warm itself, so that it takes a charge faster (apparently much, much faster). It won't be a consideration here in San Diego, but in many parts of the continent, it definitely will be.
A nice overview about the ioniq 5. Gives a good insight in the more important possibilities. But at 17:60... something is not completely correct. The trunk storage in front =57 liter.....this is NOT an AWD version. In the AWD versions this box is much smaller (however, my charging cable still fits within that smaller trunk) The towing capacity =1600kg....That's ONLY for an AWD version with big battery or in other words...a smaller trunk in front. (at least ...in my country and for the project 45 versions.)
In the event of a 12v discharge, it’s very unlikely that plugging in the J1772 charge cord will start charging, because all the control modules need 12v from the 12v battery before any charging can take place. Odd there is a manual release for the charge port door. Unless Hyundai added technology that would allow a fully discharged 12v battery to charge up just by plugging in charge port.
Saw another video just today for this issue. There is an adaptor that looks like a battery pack attached to two traditional (red & black) clamps, like you'd use for jumpstarting a car. The video creator advised that you keep the adapter in the 'frunk', so you can charge the 12-volt battery for a very short period (less than a minute, I think), and then the 12-volt will re-link to the operating battery. Hope that makes sense- this is my novice interpretation.
@@ryandidthis Hyundai sent be an email to peruse their future offerings. Looks good but price wise it's a bit on the expensive side. And you know the dealership will mark up the price because they know it's going to be a best seller.
@@kanehi I got one car from the linited project 45 version , no dealer markup possible. The price was fixed (for my country) at the worldwide presentation of the ioniq 5. (But afterwards I learned that getting one was only for those who reserved the car immediatly...within a few minutes after opening the side for reservations.). Also in my country the prices are written on the web side from hyundai , the dealer will not go higher than that.
I realize that I'm responding to your comment four months later, but...I was only in the market for 10 days. On day 3 I put a deposit on one, then turned it down when I was able to procure another one from a dealer that doesn't add on a "market adjustment" of several thousand dollars. The key seemed to be diligence, persistence, and homework. Oh, and it helped to be nimble enough to be ready to buy when the call came that the dealer had a car. They didn't take pre-orders there. They just had a list, and they'd call people on the list until they got a yes. They didn't even call the same person twice. If you missed the call, you missed the car.
Be Sure to Grill the sales man about features with and without your car. This Car is top of the range and get all the bells. Most of the rage you don't get pop out handles or the reclining seat or head up display.
All models of the Ioniq have pop out handles. What the lowest doesn't have is reclining foot rest, sliding console, head-up display, automatic back gate open and close, all four power seats (only driver's seat has power), driver seat memory. I have the lowest model (the SE) and it seems like every day I discover something ELSE it doesn't have. What it DOES have is the best range and that is why I bought it. It has 303 mi. of range. But, in a few years when range gets better on all models, I will trade it in for the top of the line and all those other wonderful features.
I would love this car, but I would change 3 things. 1. Regular doorhandles like the ones on the VW ID4. 2. change the gear selector because as a 6'6ft guy I would hit it all the time with my right leg and nr 3: rear windshield wiper.
Depends on where you go. I got mine 10 days ago (May 24) for MSRP. But every other dealer in San Diego County was charging some version of what is referred to as a market adjustment. From what I could discern, $4K was the average markup on an SE, and $5K was standard markup over MSRP for the SEL and Limited versions. However, going north into Orange and L.A. Counties, it was possible to encounter dealers marking up as much as $13K.
Chevy and GMC can change lanes without input, and the driver's hands don't need to be on the wheel. I'm more than certain Hyundai's software engineers could do the same, IF THEY CHOSE TO.
It's not the fault of consumers that they intuitively extrapolate from L1 to L2 and then L3. You have to hear it from a video or some other source to learn that it's called Fast Charging DC. People will learn quickly once they have the car. The next question, though, is what are they going to call Level-4 charging when it becomes available (assuming that this is possible, like 5G cell service seemed impossible to imagine 20 years ago.)
I think Hyundai's approach to inattentive driving is IMMORAL! If the driver doesn't have his hands on the wheel and appears inattentive, he probably fell asleep. If you punish him by disengaging the active cruise control features, you just signed his (and possibly others) death warrants. The only correct solution in this scenario is to pull over onto the shoulder and bring the vehicle to a stop and shut it down.
I don't know of any EVs that do what you recommend. Tesla, for example, has the car continue to drive until it comes to a untimely demise. That has actually happened.
@@mrxman581 My point exactly. These cars are capable of CHANGING LANES. If they can do that, they can pull over to the shoulder and stop. It's simply a matter of software coding. Choosing catastrophic failure now so you can sell a software upgrade tomorrow is outright IMMORAL in my book.
@@richardloewenhagen3818 the changing lane feature is not completely automatic. It requires driver input. Besides, changing lanes is loads less technically complicated than pulling over multiple lanes and stopping safely on the side of the road. That's exponentially more complicated.
Guess he has same mental problem as Joe! He needs help. Tell me who is your president, I may tell who are you. Poor old man, sorry for him and his daughter.
Only if you don’t mind paying an unnecessary monthly battery rental. Totally negates the the paying cash for the car to not have a monthly payment. They are sharp but that’s a deal breaker for me.
Obvious Tesla Troll. Tesla is the king of bugs. I know 4 people who have Teslas and all have been for service within weeks of purchase for all host of little and big issues. Now that's a beta release.
I am for sure no Tesla troll, I loved my first Ioniq, that car made so many things right, that the new Ioniq 5 doesn't. - Loading in winter is under 50 kW - you cannot use the plug-socket while loading - the heating is not properly working im winter, it just stays cold - the highway assistant has bugs - the laneasisstent let's the car shake constantly - the route/loading planner it a "joke", could be improved a lot :D - the driver seat is not properly fixed, it shakes/moves when you accelerate - while you are driving a turn the back of the car makes noises like an old wooden sailingship. - it is not that efficient There is a lot more stuff not working properly right no. They need to do a lot of software fixing.. It is like betatesting a Car for 60k Euros, I am really a true Ioniq fan, but right now I don't feel very happy with this car.
@@slatorarsenic7859 Well I must of seen about 50 video reviews and the only thing so fat that has been a negative is the fact it does not have a rear wiper , I test drove one in Canada on a very wet day but it was not a deal breaker I was waiting for a new Kona but changed my order after the test drive to the AWD long range ultimate package I was very impressed by this car.
@@shaunmckenna1923 I guess the main problem with most tests is, that the testers have the cars only for some hours or a weekend.

They already admitted that "coldgate" will be gone in an software update later this year.

And yes, that missing wiper sucks :) the problem is new as Hyundai changed the design of the backwindow with some extra edge thing on the window, so it doesn't blow off the stuff correctly. It is a really nice car, but it would have been better to sell the first cars as beta like Volkswagen did with the ID3 when the software lacked, or they should have tested it in the snow :D
FIRST OFF - huge mistake - creating propriety charging adapters/means was the biggest blunder ever. Make these vehicles plug in to regular 120V receptacles. We already have the infrastructure - creating a whole new infrastructure to charge these vehicles consumes a huge amount of energy which negates the benefits of the EV for an extra amount of time. This also limits the consumer base.
Every commercially produced electric car can plug into an ordinary power point. You need a to use an EVSE portable charge cord with the right plug. The box in the cord tells the car what type of plug is on the cord and that tells the car the maximum current it is allowed to draw safely from that sort of outlet.
