#CoupleCarReview
This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new Hyundai IONIq 5 full-EV compact crossover. This EV is the first model in Hyundai’s new family of IONIQ electric vehicles. The Hyundai Motor Group’s plan is to introduce 23 BEV models and sell 1 billion BEV units worldwide by 2025. 3300 pre-orders of the IONIQ 5 have been placed in Canada.The entry-level IONIQ 5 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 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 with 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque. It has a 77.5 kWh battery and gets 414 km of EV range. The AWD model is only available on the top trim. This model has the fastest 0-100 km/h time which is 5.1 seconds, the RWD model with the smaller battery gets 8.5 seconds and RWD with the larger battery 7.3 seconds. It has a futuristic design which is inspired by the 1974 Pony Coupe concept. The retro looking pixel headlamps and taillights give this EV a cool vibe. It also has active air intakes, flushed door handles, a V-shaped front bumper and a clamshell hood. This is the first time Hyundai has ever used a clamshell hood. The IONIQ 5 measures 182.5 inches in overall length, 74.4 inches wide and 63 inches tall. The wheelbase is 4 inches longer than the Hyundai Palisade, which is a mid-size SUV, but is actually 14 inches shorter in length. The IONIQ 5 offers a large car-like interior space in a compact SUV. The eco-friendly interior materials and nature inspired colours are at many touch points. These materials include recycled plastic bottles, plant based yarns, natural wool yarns and bio paint with plant extracts. The moveable centre console can slide back and forth 5.5 inches, which allows the driver to freely enter and exit the cabin on either side when parked in a narrow spot. The IONIQ 5 has an available 15 watt wireless phone charger, an 8-speaker Bose sound system and it’s the first Hyundai to offer over the air wireless updates to the multimedia and navigation system.

Congrats for the Koreans. Because of u, the rest of the manufacturers r now forced to follow suite. U guys did a great review. Still waiting for a blooper real. Happy holidays folks. Cheers from MTL.
Thank you, glad you liked the review, it was a fun one in stormy San Diego. Happy Holidays to you as well!
Car manufacturer around the Globe are now following the Korean Car EV congrats Hyundai for your Ioneg 6 EV
@@ricardotoliongco7769 yeah Tesla has been out for 10 years. Lol
Yes praise the Koreans! Not the actual company that has made all auto makers shift to electric.
Without Tesla, we don’t have electric vehicles for a long time.
Tesla fan boys comments in 3.....2.....1...there's one here already. 🤣
They absolutely nailed it. And I think the Kia EV6 is just as good and offers a contrasting version of the vehicle. I hope it takes a good chunk of market share away from Tesla who have become arrogant and complacent in their Model Y and emphasize speed and battery efficiency over build quality, refinement and any attempt at attention to detail in the interior. This is a better car even if the tech isn't as good because tech isn't the biggest aspect of a car. Ride/handling, noise vibration, quietness is what a car features of a cell phone.
I have no problem with the price of it. It cost what it cost and for this amount of quality and refinement, it's almost a bargain. Ioniq and EV is a brand of vehicles. Ioniq 2, 3 4, 6, 7, etc will follow as well as EVs for Kia. And some of them will cost less but of course won't be quite as nice as this pair of EVs. Congrats to Hyundai/Kia. Now, please, build a good amount so they won't go over MSRP like the Palisade and Telluride have (at least in the states they have).
I like the IONIQ5's dash, it has a more familiar layout similar to a regular cars unlike Tesla. I'm seriously considering it once my current Hyundai lease is up in 2 years. :)
I LOVE the cool 80’s future vibe with this car!! It looks sooo cool! Also, I LOVE watching you both together y’all are such a great couple and make me laugh with y’all’s uplifting energy. You both just totally vibe together and Zack always makes you laugh and smile 🥰 LOVE IT!! Round of applause to Zack! 👏🏻
Thank you very much, so glad you are loving the content. He definitely makes me laugh!
@@necromancer69able If that’s true or not, none of my business. Im glad I get to see them both smile and laugh together in the videos. ☺️
"y'alls"!! Did you make this word up??!
I really liked the channel before, but with Andrea this has become my favorite! The content here and on Instagram is great! Also, this car looks amazing!
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow, thank you so much, really appreciate the kind words.
I agree - great channel (fun, informative, entertaining) and the Zack and Andrea charm is such a joy.
They seem like such nice people and a great couple.
The future has arrived! Hyundai definitely has produced a compelling EV option. It has a refreshingly original design, akin to a concept vehicle. Despite being pricey, it looks like they’ve got a winner. And unlike Tesla, Hyundai has an amazing dealership network in Canada (most cities in North America). Which comes in handy when you want see one, test drive one or servicing it. Thanks another electrifying video.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it.
If you want an electric car at least buy from our friends in South Korea. Avoid China friendly companies like GM Ford and Tesla.
I used to own 2 brand new Hyundais( sonata hybrid and Santa Fe sport 2.0T) and now I own 2 Teslas (M3 and MY). The biggest reason I switched was no dealership structure of Tesla. From onsite test drive, online purchase and mobile servicing(that comes to your house) it's a much better experience with Tesla. Everybody pays the same price for the same car. That's the way to go. FYI, I love the looks and technology of IONIQ5. I might consider GV60 when it comes out.
... my closest Tesla dealership is 2-1/2 hours away. Hyundai dealerships? .... at least 10 or more closer. And I will never buy a car by clicking on a mouse. The same applies to shoes and clothes. I also have zero emotional response from any of Elon Musk’s cars (truck?). So Tesla will not be an option for me.
@@kellingtonlink956 Different opinions of dealership vs. online experience but Tesla's cars don't have the quality of build that I prefer. The interior styling is also not for me as well. This Hyundai and Kia's EV6 are fantastic. I like the ID.4 but it doesn't give the same stylish impression in the interior as the Hyundai/Kia siblings.
I like this vehicle. For me, the long range rwd Ioniq 5 is good enough. It has a good range, room for my family and I, good features and it has some physical bottoms which I prefer. Great car!
I average less than two thousand mile per year (yes you read that right!) since my work in 1.5 miles away, and rarely go on long trips. For me the 200 mile regular version will do just fine. The only issue is that I can't charge it overnight at my condo since they have no chargers, and unfortunately no plans to install any anytime soon. Guess I'll just have to visit the Hyundai dealer for a fast charge. hehe
I reserved one in April since seeing this video, ended up getting lucky and got an allocation a few weeks after and took deliver last month for MSRP. This review is spot on. This car is sooo much more comfortable compared to my 2020 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD.
I am also considering this car and wanted your opinion on how soft or hard the ride quality is and how loud the interior is if possible. Thanks in advance.
Hyundai nailed it, so is this review.
Thank you so much!
If I was in the market, I’d 100% get the Long Range AWD over the Model Y, and save myself $20k plus.
Absolutely right! Cheers.
The problem is that an AWD version with the smaller battery would get less than 180 miles (EPA combined range) of range on AWD mode. More like 160 miles pure highway range. Take 70% of that to preserve battery longevity (and charging speed slows down considerably after 80% charge even if you wanted to charge more), 70% of that reduced figure for 75+ mph driving, and 60% of that reduced figure in deep Canada winters and you have a real world high speed, cold weather highway range of less than 50 miles (before extreme low charge/range anxiety warning) between charges. A lot of customers wouldn't want to pay almost $50k US (before federal credit) for that...
The base Ioniq5 with a 168hp ends up being more expensive than the awd 300hp id4 after rebates.
@@OlJackBurton The Ioniq 5 all wheel drive always has the larger battery.
I don't know why but I like this car a lot. Looks clean and well-built. I'm slowly coming around to the idea of EV cars. The main problem in my mind is still range limitations (I'd like to see 500 miles) and then there's still the lack of charging stations outside of big cities. The government needs to incentivize gas stations to add charge stations so that EV drivers can just "stop at the next gas station" to fuel up just like everyone else does.
EV's are not for everyone at the moment, depending on the length of driving you need, and charging available at home. For those who live in apartments and condos without charging stations, EV's probably won't work till they get chargers installed.
@@BillAnt I have had an EV for 6 years now with no problems charging. Now Tesla is opening their chargers to all. I find I like to stop after 2 or 2.5 hrs. even if the car doesn't.
I agree Zack! The EV market is seemingly resolving itself to be for the upper-middle class as a niche product; no one is bringing something to market that's going to push prices down, that used to be a Hyundai specialty.
EVs are expensive because of battery is expensive. Give the technology another 2-3years. Keep in mind, the average price that we pay for a new vehicle is 41k.
I also believe the early buying EV households will be doing so as a second or third car, which by definition will be upper-middle class. They/we will also be overnight charging in our garages or on our driveways. And, if you’re maximizing the $7500 US Federal Tax credit, you need to be paying at least that much.
EVs are expensive to build so the price reflect that at the current stage in the market. All these early adopters who can afford it, will buy but those who can't will stick to ICE or maybe go with a hybrid instead. Prices will become lower likely near 2025 or 2030 as automakers has streamlined their EV productions and new advancement in battery technology can help. Or lower priced EVs use the previous tech to help keep costs low.
At this stage, it is important for both the federal and provincial governments to offer incentives to help lower that barrier to entry so more people can choose a larger variety of EVs. The lowest priced EV so far seems to be the Chevy Bolt but not everyone may want that type of vehicle.
@@halderavik i feel live we’ve been saying that for 8 years
@@halderavik The price of pickup trucks skews that average $41k. The first gen Nissan Leafs used to start at $32,000 in Canada, and top out in the high $30s. Now most EVs start at $42-45k and go up to 55k easily. The 2012 Focus EV was twice the price of the gasoline version, the 2022 Kona/Souls are exactly the same problem 10 years later. There needs to be some sort of reset with what auto makers are doing with their EV offerings
I enjoy your videos and car reviews. The honesty in which you present the cars as well as the perceived enjoyment in the way you guys do it is fantastic. I have subscribed. Keep up the good work and thank you.
Wow, thanks for the sub, the positive feedback and the kind words, we really appreciate it.
Glad you like them!
The Ioniq 5 is also my top pick when I choose to buy an EV, interior is beautiful unlike the Tesla and other EVs that are poorly designed interiorly
Thank you for mentioning that the rear seats slide fore and aft. Hardly any reviews mention that, but it’s a big deal if you’re trying to decide between this and something a little bigger. Also, the ev6, which is this cars sibling essentially, does not give you the sliding seats, although they also do recline
Great review as always. And thanks for bringing the rain from BC down to California, the entire state needs rain desperately!
You are very welcome 😄 and here we were looking for sun. Oh well, great trip anyway. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the review.
Those 4 dots in Morse Code is “H”. So instead of putting Hyundai H logo, they put the Morse Code.
We had know idea, thanks for sharing!
@@andreaspencer9813 Wow! Direct reply from my fav RUclips goddess!
This car would be perfect for Back to the Future 4.
I’ve been skeptical of Hyundai for decades but finally I am seriously consider buying one of 3 or 4 Hyundai/Kia/Genesis models. BTW I am a car enthusiast.
Great video as always guys. The four dots on the steering wheel is Morse code for "H" (Hyundai) by the way. Nice Easter Egg.
9:58 the guy behind you loves the car already so he had to take a picture of it lolzzz
Love your videos. French reports are also excellent on that car. Joyeux Noël !!!
Awesome, thank you!
Zack is getting better and better, he is almost funny now. Andrea's presentation is superb!
Headlights and tail lights definitely look futuristic. Not a bad design
Just a point on the regenerative braking/paddle shifters. I have a model 3 and I don't find I any need to "shift" regeneration levels. If I want less regeneration I just apply a little more pressure on the accelerator peddle. If I want full regeneration I take my foot off the accelerator. That way you are always able to vary the regeneration for changing situations. Personally I don't really see the need for the paddle shifters.
Andrea looks so fresh in red! Always love your couple car review!
Thank you so much! We are also really happy to hear you are loving the content.
This is an impressive, compelling and viable EV. This or another Hyundai EV would definitely be my next car. Wish it had little bit more range though, 500kms and above.
what an awesome review! i remember Zack from the z95.3 days!!!! i ordered one and hope to get one within next 4-6 weeks, so wish me luck! love this vide, new sub and will watch all your videos!
Unusual weather in San Diego - perfect setting for why one should choose an EV
Great overview of a very compelling EV. I think you should do a calendar of thumbnails with Andrea, she always looks great! :) While the initial price is high, total cost of ownership for some EVs is comparable to many gas vehicles, given high gas prices and additional repairs and maintenance for gas or diesel vehicles.
Thank you so much and we are really glad you enjoyed the review.
Love your show, welcome to California. Thank you for the gift 🎁 of rains you brought from Ontario, CANADA.
Our pleasure!
Thank you, really glad you like the content. Oh bringing the rain was easy 😄
wow, it was raining like two days ago, that means you guys put these videos out FAST lol love it
Yes, quick turn around. We arrived Monday, filmed Tuesday, back home Wednesday, video out Thursday. Thank you, glad you loved it!
I think the rainy day seat switching trick would be a great segment for all your reviews 😊 Another great one guys…
Thank you glad you liked it! Can you imagine what we would look like switching seats in a smaller car. lol!
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 takes our Best Electric Vehicle award for the second year in a row because it continues to hit a near-ideal balance of attributes - even against newer competitors. It offers a roomy, versatile cabin within relatively tidy exterior dimensions; avant-garde styling that doesn’t neglect everyday practicality; and a simple, easy-to-use control layout that still packs in lots of useful technology features
Increase the length by a foot, make it a wagon and throw in a third row, that would be a total winner. Good video. 👍
Thank you, happy you enjoyed it.
A few of my friends have a Tesla Y and they rave about it. However, I have never been a Tesla fan because of their bland exterior styling and their basic interiors which without the big screen is quite bare. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is the first Hyundai that I would consider buying and it is the first EV that I actually like (other than the Taycan). Amazing job Hyundai! Amazing video Zack and Andrea!
Thanks so much!
A truly inspired design. I’m a Model 3 Performance 2020 owner. I think this will be my next EV.
Is it going to be the Car of the year or hyundai tucson??? Big question? I have a feeling you guys liked Tucson a little more.
Great team. Real pros. Enjoyable and informative review.
This car's looks are growing on me, but I can't afford one anyway.
Great video! The Hyundai Ioniq 5 looks absolutely amazing! It is spacious, flexible and has a sustainable interior made from sugar cane components and crushed PET bottles.
I like this new Hyundai!
Great video guys- wish it was $34-38K for base with FWD & AWD but probably the most tempting EV for me so far.
Thanks, glad you liked the review 👍
How is this for rear facing child seats? Would it fit with plenty of room for the driver or passenger?
this is the best looking ev by far that's not over 100k
In Canada, it is a no brainer to choose this top of the line Ioniq 5 over the base model 3.
The base model 3 now costs 60k and the federal incentive of 5k does not apply to it.
The Ioniq 5 ultimate top trim is also 60k, is much bigger, has more range, is faster and on top of it also qualifies for the federal rebate of 5k basically bringing down the price to 55k.
You guys were in SD the same days I was there! Constant rain for at least 3 days, which then turned into a dreadful downpour all the way to LA. It was very, very unusual for SoCal.
Great video guys.! Enjoyed the chemistry between the two of you. Very informative .
I'm curious to know how well the visibility was out of the rear window in the rain given that there's no rear wiper.
I'm surprised that you made no mention of the 3 metre wheelbase, which is 100 mm more than the 345 mm longer Palisade, and a whopping 280 mm LONGER than the comparably-sized Subaru Forester.
How was the Bose sound system?
AWD would have been nice on lower trims for sure. But the interior is nice. And I like the range. Pricey though 🤨
Absolutely love the content on this channel, very very informative and without any click bait stuff
We hope you subscribe d!
Been waiting for you to review this car. Wooohooo😊
My fav couple at it again! Lovely.
Thank you so much! - Andrea
I like your reviews very much. I noticed that the displays in the car you drove were dark with white highlights. On other videos that I have seen, they are white. Are they able to be changed from whit to black depending on your taste?
Yes, you can change it
This is a very impressive vehicle. The interior is the best in its class, but could use some color accents. What kind of semi-autonomous driving system does it have?
just sipping my coffee and enjoying the review...agree...60 k for a vehicle is alot of $$..but think the price will come down some once more vehicles are introduced..that being said...I like it...like the styling of the Kia a little better but would say either one are a winner to me...thanks for the great job..and stay dry..enjoy all your work..be well..be safe
I find your reviews quite interesting. Congratulations!
Thank you very much!
I grew up in San Diego County. I remember when I was a kid, it used to rain down there a lot (80’s and 90’s). And I’m not exaggerating either. It rained a lot, and when it rained, it rained hard! I miss that about Southern California. Global warming I guess…
So rare to have rain in San Diego. Great looking car! I hope that the US will catch up when it comes to charging stations...they are as rare as rain in Southern California.
It was equal to a bad storm in Vancouver, we couldn't believe it. We had one day to film and that was the day we got. Oh well, just happy to drive this new EV.
So is this a better car to order then the id4 max trim?
Ok Zack , at the price point of the Ultimate spec does this car compete with the I-Pace for fit & finish and driving dynamics ?
How wide is the turning circle? This 3 meter wheelbase can really hurt it, especially with AWD.
Thanks!
How long do you have to wait to recharge the battery. I don’t see being able to do long road trips in this car.
You guys received Canadian weather when you drove the Ioniq, feel at home?
We certainly did! Lol
Love this car! How's the visibility on rear window without the wiper?
Put it this way I didn't even really notice there wasn't one and we had a ton of rain
Another great review! Definitely adding this car to my list of potentials...
So nice to see a review there the maneuverability of the hosts exceeds the vehicle 😃 Love your style.
Full disclosure, I am expecting an ID.4 Pro AWD in the next couple months. I am not a huge fan of the Ioniq's DeLorean / Buck Rogers feel of this car, but would be strongly considering it if they had made the AWD available on the base model on Canada.
The amount of choice we'll have in the next 5-7 years is going to be out of this world...
Great review guys!! Really like the interior. Can you guys or anyone answer a question about charging stations? If I head out on on a long trip in my new EV vehicle, are all these charging stations "generic" and accommodate any EV? I assume every manufacturer won't have to build their own charging networks across the country. The reason I ask is because about 20km from my home in Halifax NS, there are about 6 charging stations at an Irving gas station and they are clearly marked with the "Tesla" logo. Would these only be able to be used by Tesla owners? Thanks!
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the review! Yes, all manufacturers have to share the same charging stations except for Tesla which has its own charging infrastructure. So when you see the Tesla logo, it's only for Tesla owners.
@@andreaspencer9813 Great. Thanks so much for the clarification!!
@@ronripley9197 You are very welcome!
Currently only Tesla cars can charge at Tesla Supercharger locations. It has been proposed to let other EVs use those chargers, and small scale testing is underway in Norway. It will be awhile before that happens everywhere.
Waterproof too! Awesome Zack!!! You guys are the best.
Does it come with a winter package? I see a few frozen teslas here in alberta at minus 35.0
Great review, looks like a winner, especially at 44k for the base model. I’ve driven the iPace, Polestar 2, eTron, Ionic, ‘18 Leaf (avoid pre-‘18 Leafs, the 2nd gen is much better) and we have owned our Model 3 for 3 years. We also used to have a C-Max phev. Biggest complaint about the Model 3 is the crashy suspension, and the dumb door handles. I thought the Polestar was a substantially better car for less money, but the interior usability is terrible by comparison. The Model 3 would drive circles around it, but the quality feel and ride blew the Model 3 away. For 30K less, I’d take this over the Y. I’d take the Mach-E over the Y too. The only “if” is the charging network, don’t discount how important that is. 3rd party charging infrastructure is garbage by comparison.
Which 3 do you have, LR or the Performance? I had a MYLR with the 19# wheels, and the ride was definitely on the firm side, definitely not supple or absorbent, and I've heard the Performance version is downright harsh. Curious if it's the same with the 3LR and 3P. In any case, I think Hyundai and Kia are going to give the Y a run for its money!
@@CourthouseGuy1999 2018 LR with the 19's. We have 18's for our snow tires and it softens the ride (obviously) quite a bit. For the price, I think all Teslas should have the air suspension.
Always enjoy your reviews. Pretty sure I based my first new car purchase completely on Zach's reviews and research back in 2013. I do think the water was muddied around specs because of the strange fact there are such different trims available in the US and Canada. Apparently my pre-order arrived at the dealership yesterday; I'm going in this week to confirm the specs as I'm not really sure what I'm getting.
Great to hear!
The only thing missing on the IONIQ 5 is the rear windshield wiper. A crossover like the IONIQ needs a rear windshield wiper.
Coming here a year later and look at the depreciation on these! Wow! Did not expect these to lose 20k in 1 yr.
Excellent review but I'd be skeptical about a brand new entry to the EV market for my first EV. With that said, I'm a bit biased and will probably gravitate towards the ID.4 over this one. I don't think the interior alone is enough to win me over, but it's a damn good start. Love the choices popping up these days and looking forwards when the last ICE is sold.
This isnt Hyundai's first rodeo with EVs.
The IONIQ 5 has been in other markets for almost a year now. Do you really think Hyundyai would knowingly bring a defective product to North America in its first totally new EV platform? Who do you work for...VW?
@@garryford6439 Where did I say it was defective, you halfwit? Reading is fundamental, learn to read and comprehend before running your mouth.
I understand your reasoning, but the ID.4 hasn't been in the market that much longer. The VWs are also known to have many bugs since the start, but also some hardware issues. Might have been fixed by now, don't know. That said, the Ioniq 5 does have some teething issues if you look at the user forums in Europe. Many have/are being solved, such as the slower cold temperature charging. I'm quite happy to see Hyundai keep developing the system, as I'm sure VW is as well. That is a very important aspect to look at when choosing a car these days: continued OTA update and development.
Thanks so much for sharing this Andrea and Zack! I've been waiting for the Ioniq5 review! Love the look, it reminds me of the Lancia Integrale, but not the same size. 😁
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
I also see Plymouth Horizon.
Great, honest review. Just a quick note though: You stated the mach E has a bigger capacity trunk, in Europe its 402 liters in the ford, 527 liters ioniq, also the back row slides 20cm giving about 620 liters if you only have child seats in the back for instance.
About the four dots on the middle ofthe steering.
With the morse code, 4 dots stand for the letter H.
H for Hyunday.
Still not sold on ev . We do many drives per year where we would drive 600 to 700 kl per day. Still not convenient not if I have to stop for hours to recharge. Our trip from Lindsay On to P.E.I. would take an extra couple of days. Hotel cost and meals would make the trip more expensive that my CX 5 Turbo. Also finding recharge stations would be a pain. That may improve in 10 years or so in more remote areas. Maybe a self generating hybrid would be a consideration.
Car and drivers review says this can charge from 10% to 70% at a charge station in 18mins. That's comparable to any gas stop/rest break. Still not the same miles added vs a gas up, but getting very close!
Okay, we have one Model 3 RWD and a Model Y AWD and we are in the Toronto area. As an everyday commuter, I think RWD is just fine. As an EV owner, I prefer a longer range over AWD. $49k (54-5)for Preferred Long Range would my choice. Yeah, it's expensive but factor in no Gas, green insurance discount and no maintenance.
Our Model Y review drops this Sunday at 6am PST, make sure you check it out.
Best car reviewers on the web, bonus is you’re both Canadian! Keep up the good work
Wow, thank you very much!
Thanks! Will do!
Hi Andrea and Zack, love your reviews and your chemistry. I always enjoy watching your videos. Would you happen to have a Subaru Forester review in the near future? Just wondering, thank you!
Hi there, thank you so much, really glad you are enjoying all of our reviews. There is a Forester review on the channel and we are getting the Forester Wilderness next week to review, that will be out in a few weeks.
We get the Outdoor model on Monday
@@andreaspencer9813 I can't wait and thank you!
Thanks for putting this wet video together! With Toyota/Lexus recent announcement on their upcoming electrification plans and models, this segment is just starting to heat up! Hopefully with more competition, the prices will become more competitive.
I love the exterior of the Ioniq 5, but I like the interior of the Kia version far more than what is the Ioniq. I would love the Hyundai, however, since most of the time is spent sitting inside, it would only make sense to get the Kia version.
The Kia is also more expensive.
Here in the Vancouver area of B.C. you are allowed to drive a electric car in the HOV lane on the freeway , I think it's kind of unfair to people without the means to afford a pricey electric car. I drive a little Mazda2 but I cant use the HOV lane when I am by myself. My little Mazda is worth maybe $ 4000 , cant get much of a electric carfor that.
Excellent review. Really enjoyed your video. Starting to get interested in EVs. Love Tesla's but worried about reliability.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
A nice luxury electric car. I really think that manufacturers need to get a sub $30,000 model out there. Take out a lot of the unnecessary frills. I don't know why as soon as they go electric they have to pack in expensive add-ons that jack up the price.
It would be great if Hyundai added a base model AWD option like they have in the US to make it more affordable.
EVs are expensive because of batteries. Give the technology another 3-4 years, you will see 30k evs.
@@halderavik I hope you are right. I feel like they've promised that for awhile.
@@halderavik not the case, it's only here in North America that it's a problem. In Europe and Asia, cheap good EVs like the VW e-Up! are already available.
@@ashton9699 those cheap EVs you are referring to won’t meet the US consumers expectations. Nissan tried that with the lower range and no frills interior Leaf for less than 30K. Nobody bought that car. It was a complete failure. The bottom line is you get what you pay for.
Thanks very much for the detailed review. We are actually trying to make a decision between this car and the ID.4. The annoying thing is due to the availability of these new EV's, there are no demo car for Ioniq 5 for test drive at the moment, at least in Vancouver BC. One of the biggest concern we have with this over the ID.4 is the lack of a rear window wiper. Was hoping this video would address this since it was filmed in the rain, but this was not mentioned at all. Wondering if the reviewer can kindly reply to touch on this. In some video reviews, which I believe, were filmed in Korea or Europe mentioned that the lack of rear wiper did made the rear window unclear in the rain. Love the features of other things of this car, but if the lack of rear wipe is really affecting the visibility of the rear window in the rain, this can be a deal breaker.
There’s also a rear camera you can put up on the second screen. Well that’s what I saw on RUclips anyway.
Omg. Finally the black interior. So much better.
Which car would choose mustang Mach-E or Hyundai Ioniq 5?
IONIQ5
I don't know why everyone avoids saying this, but these are MPVs. Functionally they have the roominess, and practicality of a Ford C-Max or the new BMW 2-series active tourer, with all electric propulsion.
Hyundai have longed nailed the steering wheel for feel in the hands. Liking the look of the flat bottom something that has long been a hallmark of Audi and Kia -- interesting to see it here as well.
The centre console is also pretty great --- it's nice to see them actually do something different with interior and exterior that represents EV as a differentiator in the marketplace.
That price though --- I also agree Zach -- ouch, ouch, ouch.
Andrea, you and Zack discussed the possibility that the IONIQ 5 may have a ECO mode capability of running only on the front 99 hp motor for added range. Any way you can confirm that through your contacts with Hyundia?
Couche-Tard (Circle K) is starting to put EV chargers at their gas stations and convenience stores apparently in BC first and moving east. Maybe you can find one
Great review looks like they are on a winner with this care , I did read somewhere that the four dots on the steering wheel is morse code for the letter H :)
Zack, I completely agree with your viewpoint that we need an EV for the masses at a reasonable price. Perhaps a VW I.D.3 is an answer for that problem 🤔
Take the id4 or Skoda Enyaq if your budget allows.
I think the "EV for the masses at a reasonable price" will happen, but not for another 5-10 years. This industry is in its infancy and prices will come down when demand increases and the internal combustion engine is gradually phased out. Until that demand is created, the prices will remain stubbornly high. Just think back to the early years of the flat screen TV. They were asking $10,000 for the first large screen Plasma TV's!!!! This is where we currently are in the EV industry.
Wait until the Chinese EVs get to NA shortly.
The tech is still to expensive for that. As production ramps up and innovation continues the price will come down. If it were possible they’d already have done it. You also need to factor in the difference in maintenance and fuel/power costs over the lifetime of the vehicle.
The buttons, knobs and levers are super intuitive to use in my car!
Andrea, are you really a little twisted?? 😎
Interesting vehicle...great review Andrea and Zack! Got to watch the review of tesla.
Thank you! Tesla review drops this Sunday morning 👌
Yeah, everyone's saying the same thing. I needs a bit more range. ~ high 200's for AWD and low 300's KM for LR RWD just isn't a lot.
I wish there was a front wheel drive availabilty with the 5. I have an 18 Ioniq blue, front wheel drive, its great. It helps in snowy states.
My wife and I watch your episodes together. You two make a great team. Oh, and she loves you clothing styles, Andrea!
That is fantastic!
Great review. Why are manufacturers taking the rear wiper off these EV hatches? The Kia EV is also missing one. You can see, while you were driving this in the rain, the rear window was covered in road spray.
Supposedly for improved aerodynamics.
@@mountainhobo great for going a million miles an hour then, but for real world driving, you can’t see out the back window.
@@davidevans2585 I'm not defending the decision. However, the marketing departments latch on to what is the key measurement to advertise, in case of EVs it's range, and they will cut everything to squeeze another mile.
