Seeing plenty of cynicism in the comments re the fake noise and gears. Understandable! I was dubious too before I drove it. But I encourage you to reserve judgement until you’ve had a go for yourself. Good news for our UK viewers: we’ll have a bunch of these available for test drive at our Harrogate live show in a few weeks.
I agree, it's very difficult to say if you actually want or like these features till you've tried them for yourself, and as you mention, but it's worth repeating, because they are just Software, buys can simply turn them off if they don't like them.
For me, after 10 years of EV driving, not only did i turn them off, but i found them to feel "old fashioned" and annoyingly distracting, having actually not just got used too, but actually become appreciative of, the way a BEV fundamentally performs, ie in silence with true linear performance. Having to pull paddles to make the car "change gear" was fun, for about an hour, but soon became tedious and got turned off never to be turned on again.
What those "mimicry features" do provide is a gateway for people not used too, or experienced with BEVs to help smooth the transition from one to the other.
I quite like the idea of being able to turn the noise on and off depending on my mood.
And the farnborough show later in the year? It's closer to me.
Depends how fake you want to be 🤷♂️
If you're determined to retain the 'petrol feel', there are good EVs for half the price, and you can spend the other £35k you didn't waste on gimmicks on a track day car and track days for a good few years.
It’s an absolutely amazing car. I bought mine a week ago and I’ve already put on 700 miles. My daily has been a Porsche 911 Turbo. Now with both in the garage, the Hyundai is my choice. Amazing!
What range per charge are you getting on it?
I'm glad you like it and that it suits you.
Wow. That is massive praise
@@gavincronin6816 LOL have not even checked. With the fast charging, it's just like getting gas. 10%-80% in 15 min. Hyundai states 220, seems about right.
@@JackScarlett1 I drove the 911 tonight just to see and honestly I wish I was in the Ioniq 5 N. Ive put just over 40,000 miles on my 991.1 911 Turbo and yes its fast and gets all the looks, but it is not as dynamic and diverse as the N.
Until 10 years ago, it was a Korean car that was ridiculed in the U.K. Now it is the world's third-largest global automaker, and it has made a lot of progress from luxury to high-performance models and electric vehicles. I am proud of Hyundai.
I'm korean and when i was 14 years old i had traveled uk about 2 weeks. At that time(2011 Jan) when i saw hyundai car in uk i was surprised. Because we know only by media they say hyundai is getting globalized but we couldn't feel it directly. So when traveling it was few moments but spotting korean car was moving moments.
Remember the Hyundai Matrix !!!
i used to dream of a bmw m3, now that i can afford one, i'm looking at a hyundai, great progress for sure
Let's just say that until you drive one, then you'll never understand it. Once you do drive one, it will all make perfect sense. It can be a perfectly normal EV, quiet and silent, and a good daily driver. Take it on the open road with a few twisting roads and a press of the N Mode and N-E shift, and this thing becomes a beast, and the fake engine sounds all make perfect sense. You feel connected and engaged, and it puts a massive smile on your face, too.
Round of applause for the camera people/drone operators. Beautiful photography.
Yep... I paused and rewound a few times to look at bits of it again. 👍
I must have watched the opening 10 seconds of this at least ten times when Louis first showed me the edit. The boys outdid themselves on this one
That is really wonderful to hear, thankyou
Absolutely, thought I was watching top gear for a moment
@@beefstu84 They would have been making jokes about them being OK for Captain Slow as you can't charge them up in 3 minutes and the Hamster blowing the car up if it was (old) Top Gear.
Ha. That quote from The Matrix got me. Fits perfectly. Great car.
I have a gasoline car and I would love to be able to turn off the engine noise at will...
I'm right there with you!
Well turn it off and take the bus then.
What i would love more is a car with less wind resistance (i own a Peugeot 208). I dont like the wind noise at higher speeds.
@@t1n4444 That's actually great advice, if only my area had buses. It's sad that isn't an option here, or I wouldn't own a car at all.
It's interesting to watch people complain about engine sounds and focus on fake gears here and think about what Hyundai car engineers might be thinking.
The core technology of this car is not fake gears or engine sounds. It needs to focus on the fact that this latest electric car has a regenerative braking function of 0.6g.
It's the kind of experimental results that engineers have found out as Korea core companies provide Hyundai with the latest parts. It's the result of an experiment on how a heavy car recovers physical energy from the heat and reaction that is generated from tremendous kinetic energy without damaging the batteries.
There is currently no electric car that can accommodate it except the Ioniq 5N.
It can be implemented in SK on company's latest batteries and electric systems made by Hyundai engineers and even found out that the battery's temperature is decreasing while recovering that energy. The technology is the driving force behind the fake gears that make it easy for the 2.2 ton electric car to sprint over 200km/h and push the brakes To provide that capability, Porsche or Tesla offer pricey, useless brakes as an option. But they cannot run.
Porsche, which even costs several times more than the Ioniq 5n, offers low-quality batteries from China, and the batteries are suspected of having pirated key battery technology from South Korean company LG. Even the duplicated batteries are LG's older battery technology.
That's what's happening in the electric car market right now.
Don't you see that the days are numbered when scams like fake gears from carmakers with history and tradition in front of the latest technology?
They now have to knock on their calculators in front of Hyundai latest electric monsters.
I wonder how I can steal twice as much money from your pocket as Hyundai but the reality won't be that easy.
Enjoy memories of the engine in your dusty garage Super cars are no longer part of the exclusive possession
좋은글입니다.😅
Gimmicks aside, this is a step in the right direction for EVs. We all know car go fast, but I will miss the days of a communicative well tuned chassis when the last of the petrol sports cars go. Bravo Hyundai, you've got my interest
Your wishes are not as far away as you might think... after forty years of owning BMW's, I changed to a Kia Niro EV a year ago. My expectation was a mediocre, economic practical vehicle. I could not have been more wrong; it is competent and engaging, with a nicely sorted chassis. I look for excuses to drive it, and I have even learned to live with FWD for the first time; I could never come to grips with my wife's 2017 Focus.
Now, if only I could find a way to permanently disable the beeping steering-wheel tugger, and the startup screen that makes me promise to be a good boy OR ELSE, and my life would be complete! 🤬
(Of course I have bought a lottery ticket... I called it 'Ioniq 5 - N') 😜
As someone who loves quiet and EVs, I would like the option to turn on sounds. I am not too fuzzed about the gears, but I'm sure that would be fun, even if its only for 10 minutes. But this sort of tech is what will get non EV drivers driving EVs.
Yeah, Hyundai is nailing it and it seems like currently they are the only car manufacturer understand what the car enthusiast wants and bring that well packaged into EV form. Really kudos to them and it does makes me seriously consider them in the future if we can only have EV. Surely others will come, Hyundai has a good headstart now.
This is what a traditional car manufacturer can offer for car enthusiast in the EV only world that it seems like new EV manufacturers don't understand. Tesla has been in the EV game for ages now, but they don't understand enthusiast, or maybe they never will since they never market themselves for that at all.
I'm curious others what will come such as with Honda and Toyota which is really into catering enthusiast but just trying into full EVs. For now, they are pretty much into hybrids.
@@PiefacePete46 you're quite right! My historical garage includes focus RS's, BMW M2 and M4, a bunch of other hot hatches and now I'm thinking of going for an EV. I was mighty impressed with the Polestar 2 but this has really caught my eye. If only it was a bit smaller but I'm going to try get a test drive
I can see why Jack is excited, but I keep coming back to the same old premise that as with most people's gadgets, they will only ever use the basic functions on a regular basis, many not even aware of what those gadgets are capable of - including cars - and yet they will have purposely gone out to buy the latest and greatest, wasting their hard earned dosh in the process when a more basic model would have served them extremely well. Even for car mad enthusiasts, most of them will live in large towns and cities, rarely getting the opportunity to make the most of the Ionic N and end up driving it in 'normal' mode 99% of the time; makes the Ionic N kind of pointless really.
Seems like Hyundai spent inordinate amounts of time and money on something that doesn't really drive the general adoption of electrification of transport in a truly meaningful way. Sorry, that all sounds rather humbug of me, but I don't think it makes my comments any less true.
Kudos to the F.C. team for a beautifully made episode. 😊
Test drove one of these at Everything Electric Australia and it ruined me... Now it is the only EV I want! absolute master class of engineering. Didn't have the fake sounds on but on launch with NGB, it sounded and felt like a spaceship. Awesome.
Glad to see you drove it without the fake sound and still loved what it could do. I'm no fan of using fake ICE sounds to supposedly "improve" the experience of driving an EV. It's a backward step.
Oh god, I have a 4WD Ioniq 5... Will test driving this ruin me? Personally I think the sounds are awesome, loved it in BMW i4 also.
if you can change the sound to a tie fighter, im sold
YES
It's just a download away (in theory). I would like the ability to sample your own car or install other sounds. I think it's a great idea but let's face it, the included ones are not that great. Only the "Ignition" option sounds like a car and even then it is a bit sterile. The car has a subwoofer FFS ...
Ohhh yes! Also Stuka dive bomber, Spitfire Merlin, steam train, some sort of turbine,
Tugboat foghorn and I’m in!
@@dna9838 must surely be hackable - the flying scotsman would be awesome.
This. This is the car I’ve been waiting for. Hurrah. I just hope the price comes down a bit/a lot!
To me this car seems like the ultimate racing simulator - which isn't a bad thing, I love race simulators! Looks like more fun than the racing games in the Tesla anyway
When real life meets video game!
except that its a real car in a real environment. with real dangers and real physics
@@kin-cz9vu : And real pleasure and real satisfaction!
I'm of the simple opinion that as long as I have to option to opt out of ICE simulation features, I'm happy with EVs...
I have a Hyundai EV without any of the fake ICE stuff. It’s pretty good, and much the better for not pretending to be something it isn’t.
Why not have both?
This will be my next car 👏🏻 So impressive!
Hyundai has stated that more noises will be produced which can potential be downloaded at a later date in time. I think based on the Ne1 Cup car where team can create their own unique vehicle sounds these will become sound packs which can be downloaded to the car to make it sound how you want.
It would be nice if they can come up with new sound that matches on having 600 HP car with supercharger sound. IMO I'm fine with "electric" vibe noises since its EV, it just needs to make sound more exciting and futuristic and not like vacuum cleaner. We have countless of Sci-Fi movies depicting futuristic car sounds.
I'd like the sound of Patsy from Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Would love the GT3 and LFA sounds 😅
First Review not at Laguna Seca! They won't be able to make enough of these cars to meet demand. Just need more colours. Great review.
What, the first one outside Laguna Seca? An autobahn-focused channel @AutoTopnl posted a video of this car a few days ago, and reviews from South Korea have been available for months.
@@Dqtube you are correct of course. Just the last 10 I've seen were there. Now my knowledge base is perfect. Thank you so very much.
Thanks for the vid Jack, we’ve now had our Ioniq 5 for over 2 years, we picked it because it works for our family, do I need something quicker, not really, but it’s good to have a choice 👍
As you always do, a great review. For some unknown reason “have it on toast” split me up. A good laugh is good for the soul, thanks.
Great review of the car, the Scottish Highlands, and the "N Game", Jack! It seems like this car is not just a car but a car plus a real-time sensory driving game - even a driving simulator of sorts. How fun! The analogy to virtual reality is spot on. For most who love to drive sports cars, I suspect that a great deal of the pleasure comes from what is possible. Though often those limits are rarely reached. Missing a motor? No problem, we can simulate that. Too heavy? No problem, we can make it feel light and nimble. Too dull? Actuators in the driver's seat will perk up interest. 28 speakers will add to the fun. You seem to be enjoying yourself driving the thing. And your enthusiasm is contagious. Perhaps Hyundai will come out with an Ioniq 5 N Game simulator for my PC with a steering wheel with all those switches, an actuated car seat and loads of speakers! Vrroom, vroom, vroooooooom! 🚗
Love this. Beautifully written.
I'm looking forward to when my car projects an augmented reality Scottish Highlands over the A40 urban reality as I drive through it!

Best video review I've seen so far of this vehicle. Beautifully shot, presented and edited.
Have been deliriously spoilt with Hyundai and KIA here in Australia, the last 20 years. Now it's time for the rest of the world to wake up to these iconic brands.
They are already very big here in the US
I have been waiting with bated breath for this review. I know Jack won't let me down.
although most buyers will never use the track or fake features, it kills the excuse for those who dislike Evs thinking they lose their ability to... hear noise, change gears etc. if you want to sacrifice your performance for noise and gears, your free to do that. so in that regards, its great, the Ioniq5 was already a great Ev, now its a great Ev for those who like to live in the past as well as the future.
Imagine that with the V12 sound of a Mclaren F1, or a BMW m5 V10. Its only a matter of time before they are add on packs sold for electric cars like this.
This. I don’t like the 3 standard sounds (I personally want something more imaginative than ICE noise) but other options are just an OTA update away
A car-based micro transaction I could get behind. Which is saying something. ^^'
It should literally just be a standardized synthesizer package that installs just like a ringer on a cell phone. The best would be if it was an industry standard.
Will need to be add-on packs, at the slow rate the industry is improving the sounds that come out of them
@JackScarlett1 love it. How about the sound KITT made in Knight Rider? The NGR button is the turbo boost sound! It's like when waze let you start recording your own dialogue for their sat nav and made every journey better.
Superb. Absolutely superb. Amazing overall narrative, filming, and of course delivery. More of this quality please. If I had the money I would get one tomorrow
The only thing I want to know about the sounds effects package is how to turn it off. Or how to load other sound effects, such as the Jetsons car, or a TIE fighter.
Give me a buggy whip feature, so I can flog the beast for some real nostalgia.
Excellent video. Thank you for this great mix of fun, information, and opinion. I would need to experience the fake noises myself. But as you mentioned: It can always be switched off. In general, this seems like a great electric car or even a great car, period.
I really need this car in my life....what a machine
Beautiful shots, love the variety of conditions and scenes with b-road and town driving! You can clearly see that Jack is basically in love with the car!
I wonder how this Ioniq 5N stacks up against EV6 GT? Jack has driven both of these cars, maybe he could chime in and give us a comparison/differences between them, because cars seem to be very similar to eachother hardware-wise. Both cars can pull crazy regen, superfast charging, stiffened chassis etc.
Great episode Jack , loved the matrix analogy 👌 👍
This car reminds me of the first time I had an Impossible burger. You know it's not "real", but you get 99% of the enjoyment for only 10% of the carbon footprint. This Hyundai is the automotive equivalent of the Impossible burger! You get all the fun with the better conscience. The future is bright! 🌄
It's very nice. My Kona has a blancmange mode when I go near 90 so I probably won't be doing that again.
Well, 99% of people do not really care what their car sounds or feels like, they just want to go places, so this option is pretty neat frankly for those 1% that actually do care.
I for one, will always keep my Alfa 159 with the V6 petrol around for eons alongside my electric car, the Alfa its passion to drive, but for going to work, its frankly takes the joy out of it. Amount of times I have to change gear going through city traffic, makes me weep.
Honestly, I think this is a decent compromise. So what if "it's slower". It's fun.
Nice to see you up this way, I'm about 30 miles North of there, lovely part of the world.
When you realize that few of the head engineers in the N division are former BMW M employees, then it all starts to make sense.
In the past, Hyundai was a group that made three major electronics products in Korea along with Samsung LG. Its affiliates include Hyundai Rotem, a high-speed train motor division
I've had all the technology for Ev since a long time ago. It's not just a company that used to make cars, it's a huge group of Korea. Electronic car motors
Credit card, department store, insurance, etc. Just cars
Unlike the company that used to make it, EV has the best technology
I'm sure you have it.
People are approaching it from the wrong perspective. Yes, it doesn't have a gearbox, who cares, we're talking EVs here. However the feeling...the sensation, the physical shift in weight, momentum, and inertia is real. That's the important part. This is the start of gen 2.0 for EVs. HYUNDAI deserves major credit. Every carmaker in the performance EV space will follow suit. It they dont, they're dead on arrival.
This is the first EV that has given me any hope of a fun future. I am all for engagement in my driving, when I hear "1 pedal mode" I cringe as I love "3 pedal mode".
Now if we could just make it 9/10 scale so it's nearer the size of an i20/i30 I would be sold.
I'm absolutely not the target audience for this car, but I'm so happy that Hyundai have made it so good! We have a smart #1 (premium, not brabus), I'm not a petrolhead and my days of driving fast are well behind me. For EVs to continue their positive trend, it's so important that we have a wide range of options to suit all different kinds of customer, and this Ioniq 5N seems to be getting so much (positive) attention from "driver's car" drivers, that as a result, it's doing a whole heap of good for EVs as a whole.
Bravo, Hyundai!
Splendid review. Thanks!
I think I know what I would like to road test at Everything Electric North in a few weeks..... if they are available that is.... Great work as always Jack. See you on Friday 24th May in Harrogate 👍🏾
Thanks Jack for another wonderful review of a car. I really enjoy your point of view and enthusiasm. You clearly love what you do. Electric vehicles have so much potential and have just started showing what they can do. When we stop obsessing about DC charge rates and start expecting, no, demanding better driving vehicles, then we will start to see and feel the reason why electric vehicles can reward buyers with the pleasure of driving. Thanks again.
Drove one a month ago. Simply fabulous. I’m doing the maths to see if I can afford. To replace my almost 3 year old Ioniq 5 P45
I'm exactly where you're at... I just have an additional element to the equation called "wife"...
Me too. Also she is the finance committee
I love it. Fantastic review as well thank you.
Missed opportunity to have a mad sci-fi ‘engine noise, like starwars speeder bikes or something.
Easy download. But IP issues.
Well the other 2 are in that direction, haven't tried the sounds that much yet though.
But - we can all see the OTAs coming, Hyundai is executing like a baws. I cam even see them do licensed ones if people are willing to pay
Great review ! Thanks for sharing 👍
I don't get the cynicism. If we all want EVs to have broader appeal why not embrace a car that brings some fun to the party??
😮NIce HYUndai😮
Just drove my ioniq 5 premium from York to Luxembourg via the Harwich/Hook Ferry. Couple recharging stops at IONITY - the car has more range than I do and was up to 90% before I had got my cup of coffee. I’d love the N but what about the INSURANCE? I have a full no claims, but still got gouged for insurance on the regular car. I really need the EV industry to focus on decreasing insurance premiums: train your mechanics, stockpile spares, build serviceable cars.
I drive back and forth from the Netherlands every month. Only stopping at the channel or ferry, driving at speed and at night. EV is slow for incidental travel not for regular long range driving.
Fantastic work, great video and done on my favourite road (watch out for the sheep)!
What road is that. I was trying to work out the location ?
@@gordonmackenzie4512 A939 bud, great way to travel from the north to the south via Perth dodging the A9.
Does the shifting of the gears give the battery a momentary reprieve (in regards to heat and strain) allowing it to perform better, or is it negligible?
I hate engine noise on what should be a peaceful journey. That's a prime reason why I drive an EV.
I love how Hyundai made an already great looking EV turn into a great looking AND great performing hot hatch that somehow manages to simulate a gearbox very well
Having just returned from doing the NC500 in a 2014 Nissan Leaf, I have to say the roads are really nice up there.
The best thing about this vlog is the beautiful Scottish landscape. 😍
I saw one this week in Nprway, and i just loved it. It got that right cool streetracer ompf...
I think a reason this car has received such detailed attention to the important things for performance and driver enjoyment could be down to Hyundai's EV rallying program.
Perfect! A car that sounds like a dishwasher! What more could you ask for.....I guess -can it go from wash, to rinse?
Great use of a matrix quote. Making this review, of a car that has been reviewed *many times* by other journalist, interesting and properly contextualized. Job well done.
Jack... What an intro!! 👏🏿
Driving is a feeling. Whether it's the exhaust sound coming from the engine, the exhaust sound coming from the speaker, or the exhaust sound coming from the mouth of the person next to you, if the driver is satisfied, that's everything. Additionally, if there is anything you want from the Hyundai N team, please add Harley-Davidson's two-cylinder in-line exhaust sound.😎
Why would you want a car to sound like a gay icon
Props to the production value of this video
Stunning car, amazing piece of engineering! I love it
Love the fact that one of the circuits is Three Sisters in Wigan!!
I drove this at N Festival in Sydney last year at Sydney Motorsport Part. I only had 2 laps, but as a seasoned racer and supersprint competitor I gave it a red hot go. Very impressive car, the fake noises and changes were that good that you forgot it was an EV - apart from the fact that these features actually make the car slower. For me the I5N is a bit chunky, quite heavy, the ride was soft even in sport mode and it’s priced too high for the Australian market. With the Tesla M3P coming in almost $40,000 less, it makes a compelling alternative.
The scenery is so amazing!
Love this car, I'm sold on the "gimmicks" this is just what EV's needed, plug me into the matrix babaaaay!!!!
Sadly in Canada dealers sell new cars at about 60% above msrp with no budge. So I won't be buying anything new until I'm forced to when my car dies. Hopefully by then this car is 10 years old and a used one affordable by then.
Imagine the 1,000 hp N VISION 74 going into production with all the experience of the IONIQ 5N 🤯
So it's the EV equivalent of sticking a milk bottle in your bicycle spokes
It's an amazing piece of software, I've seen a lot of videos of people not realising it's not "petrol" - could pull a lot of customers into EVs.
Just wish this could be optioned with a glass roof in the US.
and HUD
@@ndychung007 : and powered memory driver's seat!
This same idea as having any 4x4 vehicle. The manufactures engineer them to be so capable off-road but only 1% of people who buy them actual need or want the performance. Would be great if manufactures actually focus all their efforts at making cars that 99% of people actually need/want!
The best sound track in my humble opinion would be the Benny Hill chase tune or maybe the 1812 overture with all cannons blazing.
Driving this car some reminded me of my M5. That’s something.
For sure, this is Jack at his best! Yes!
Wow, thats so clever, love the 'gears' and the fake ICE noise, love it!
I am so curious of how this car is to drive - I really liked the cosy base version and I have never, ever, ever, ever missed the engine-sounds or the gear-box in my Zoe (which is surprisingly fun to drive to the point where I really don't recognise the claims that EVs are boring to drive). I have a manual petrol-car too, which I enjoy a lot - but the more I drive my EV, the less I like the engine-noise of my petrol-car... Which makes me wonder what I would make of the Ionic 5 N... Would I find all the computer-game-esque noises and gearshifts as silly as I think I would - or would I fall hopelessly in love with it??? I honestly have no idea!
I have a regular Ioniq 5 and got to test drive the N while mine was in for service. Everything Jack says is spot on. It's so engaging, so fun. It's silly, stupid, grin-inducing fun. I miss it. I probably should not have tried it!!
@@ShippyJack Interesting! ... and thanks for the warning! 😅 Exposure means addiction, it seems... 😁
A couple decades ago, a local cartoonist published a short two panel comic about power boating now and in the future. In the future, the manically grinning captain of the boat had the boat engine noise in his headphones and had a seat that trembled, while the rest of the crew and the nature around enjoyed the silence and pleasant ride of the electric motors.
So I think the one way to make this car even better would be to give the driver the engine noise in his headphones, and make his seat jerk as if to simulate the gaps between gear shifts. You would spare the other passengers the discomfort.
Jack Scarlett is a god
Hmm, I know many will complain but I like the idea of the "gearbox" as an option to turn on for fun with noise. I would love to see a classic mini with that kind of feature retrofitted into it. I have heard the electric conversions so far haven been pretty good and still capture that feel but I feel this would just give it that push over the edge to make those fantastic!
Seems a pity that they put all the effort into simulated noise but can’t provide something truly useful like bi-directional charging. However, if it can lure some EV sceptics into a modern car then all good.
Best video in a long time
Beautiful looking car. Love to colour too.
Love the base car, owning one for almost 3 years now. Would definitely love this N even more! Would add that it would be amazing if they make a Polo-sized version of this with the same looks and the same interior, just 30ish% smaller! That would be my second car.
I honestly have a hard time telling you how good its little brother (Kia EV6 GT) is, and just knowing that makes me want one of these NOW. I currently own six factory supercharged ICE performance cars (GT500, Redeyes, TRX, Durango Hellcat, Blackwing), and I am surprisingly impressed with the lessor EV6 GT. The I5N is that much more of an enthusiasts' car than the GT. I am actively trying to make a deal. I am one of the NEVER EV people, but I was trying limit the boring miles on my ICE vehicles, so I tried a performance EV. Obviously, for me range is not an issue as I home charge a few times a week. If you cannot charge at home (or work) and/or need to travel across the country...EV is not for you (unless you like to wait for a refill)! Is it a driving video game...yes!
I always find your reviews interesting but I’m looking forward to more estate car reviews
If I can have a 2-stroke Piaggio Ape sound, I want one.
How about a 2 stroke Wartburg - Yum dingity, ding ding ding.
@@bobbailey7024 as long as it's not followed by "crazy frog" music 😆
Yum. A car made of toast filled with baked beans.
If you want a car that is fun, exciting and a tremendous challenge to drive fast and not kill yourself ..I would recommend getting an old reliant 3 wheeler. That was the car that provided me with the most fun and adrenalin thrills. Nothing will ever beat it.
those with a single wheel on the front? hardcore stuff while you are in any corner :D
Reliant EV!
Given this is really a feature aimed at the driver, does it make these sounds outside the car as well? I like the idea that, as the driver, you only hear these sounds inside the car, but outside all is serene quite (well, maybe the pedestrian warning sounds at slow speed).
Funny that gear shifts where brought about by necessity in the early days. The inconvenience became pleasure. Now its hard to shake it off.
Jack another great review, Hyundai Ioniq 5N is almost perfection, the perfect Hyundai will be i20 sized electric N model with same proper N treatment ❤😊😊
got to know and subscribe to this channel because of this car…good stuff 👍🏾
At 5:56, all i can think of is Cipher saying "ignorance is bliss". Now at 7:10, there it is 😁
Damn i can't believe this thing is 70k though in the USA and will probably be marked up to 100k. This is probably onenof the fee EVs i'd actually buy its actually perfect for me.
I have a miata for fun and this would be the perfect daily. I always wanted a hot hatch, but the GR corolla has a surprisingly small trunk. And this is basically a lower SUV that i could probably fit my bikes in and then some!
What's the real-life battery range anyways?
Good question.
Somehow I suspect in "turbo nutter bastard" mode you could just about drive it around the block and plug it back into the charger.
If you are tracking it you get about 20 minutes of very aggressive driving. Their claim is it gets you 2 laps around Nurburgring.
For day to day driving it's only about 10% less than the standard AWD Ioniq 5.
221 miles estimated range. I'm sure if you drive it crazy it will drop like crazy, but that's also the case with a gas car.
@@Snerdles That's pretty good. Top Gear did a test on a Ferrari to see what the MPG on the track was and it got 1.7mpg. With the 25 gallon tank it has means it could do 3 laps on the same track. So pretty close under those conditions.
@@Snerdles2 laps around Nürburgring isn't about battery range. It's about battery overheating management and brake performance
That car looks like the perfect solution for all those petrol heads who believe EV's are souless and boring. Hyundai have created a car that will become their top seller I have no doubt. Great review Jack and brilliant filming.
