Ah, there we go. A driver's ev. Too rich for my blood. But I am glad that such a driving experience is available again so soon. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the insight into the future.
Lost for words. The inner child in me wants it. Anyone over 45 will want the sound. Yes, it's a silly gimmick, but it's for me. A drivers car compared to the M3 performance? But it costs more and it could be worth it. I can even get my bike in the boot!! Now to convince my wife. Ps i smiled when watching. Loved this review and did not notice length. Thanks Derek Des
@@TheBronx_911 You can turn it off, so that shouldn’t be an issue. The great thing about this car is it has a ton of modes, but you don’t need to use any of them if you don’t want. That’s choice for the consumer, which is awesome.
Thanks for the review! I just purchased this in the USA in Abyss Black. Gorgeous and fun machine. Unfortunately, we don't get the glass roof or HUD options in the USA. Those are my only major complaints. Daily driver, family and enthusiast-friendly. Wonderful.
I got the matte blue and we should have got the HUD. They didn't even give me floor mats. The car is fun to drive just trying to learn how to set up everything.
Absolutely fantastic car Derek, like so many people have i would love to get this for 24 hours. If i bought it, i would have to drive it to the Nurburgring track just to experience its full potential. I enjoyed the video Derek but i have never seen you enjoy a car as much as you did this one one you lucky guy.
Fabulous Derek. I drove N a couple of weeks ago as I had a £250 deposit on one of I currently drive an Ioniq 5 P45, uk launch edition. I did get my deposit back. Still deciding if I can afford double my Monthly PCP payment
Update: I’m getting one thru work salary sacrifice. Arrives Friday 19th. Same as your test car except no glass roof. V excited. Thanks for your vid again
I prefer manual seats & have never quite understood the need for power seats. They always seem to take much too long to adjust & it always felt like it was yet one more thing that could break.
Great video, definitely a competitor for the model Y performance. Might be a good 2nd hand buy in a year or two once depreciation has settled a bit and still a few years left on the Hyundai warranty.
I saw one of these in a metallic grey (ecotronic gray, I believe it’s called) & thought it looked very nice, as the red highlights mixed quite well with the grey. I actually think it looks good in every color I’ve seen, but I just thought the grey was particularly fetching.
Dear Hyundai: Ioniq 6 N wagon please and thank you. Although the curb weight difference between the Ioniq 5N & (hopefully forthcoming) Ioniq 6N will be negligible, I'd take a 6N over a 5N any day of the week. The Ioniq 6 is lower to the ground, has smaller overall tire diameter, a better body profile with a lower Cd, I can't speak to the seating position of either as the 5N has a different seating position than the regular 5, and I haven't sat in an Ioniq 6 yet, but being a sedan, it's likely the better seating/driving position of them.
What a fun review and thank you. Also the filming and production is getting better. What this reminds me of, for those with long memories, is the introduction of the first Audi Quattro. Then the Audi blew away most supercars and stayed on the road as a bonus because of the then completely novel 4WD. This Ioniq seems to do much the same job. If I had a criticism it would be that I do not want to have to program everything whenever I get into the car again; I just want maybe two or three well judged options that get me the performance I want today. If I want this sort of stuff it is worth considering how this stacks up on price performance with the Smart Brabuses and the Minis as well as the more premium options, say Taycans.
@@NevoEVReviewIreland Ah, well if you can save the good stuff for whenever you get in the car then it is compelling. To repeat let’s fire up the Quattro.
I recognise every bump and turn on those roads, Sallygap, Military road, across the featherbeds, you can really throw a car around those bends because you can see around them and max out the grip and drift. Used to be part of my commute years ago. Great review, Hyundai made a good car better. Yes I would not spend 80k on any car that did not have memory electric seats. Perhaps too much information options on the infotainment screen, dangerous and distracting, especially for a car designed to be on the edge of grip around corners. Is it really meant to be a track car, or just a hot hatch? What sort of driver aids does it have? Does it have any of the following and how good were they: L2 lane following? City traffic stop/start cruise control? Heat pump? Rear seat have a ski hatch? (ie great for skis and also DIY timber from chadwicks, etc 360º overhead 3D reversing camera A Parking assistant? 4 wheel TPMS display real time tyre pressure in each of the 4 wheels? What is the tow rating Native navigation app with real time charger status? Glad they finally went with wireless car play, now that I'm used to it I'd never go back to a car without car pay nor one needing USB cable.
This reminds me of the Vauxhall Zaphira VX or whatever it was called. In the days when the Saphira was about 100 hp, I think the VX was like 200. My stepfather had one for a while, and it was the ultimate wolf in sheep’s clothing. I remember the arguments when we went on camping holidays and my dad would drive like a moron, and my mum would start shreaking like a banshee. I can see lots of people just thinking this is a normal family SUV, and getting burned up at the lights. We’re about to buy the ioniq 5, hopefully, but I can’t stretch to the N version.
Interesting that they also got rid of the low conductivity fluid in this (and probably upcoming Ioniq 5 refresh). This fluid and its replacement is a bug bearer for current Ioniq 5 owners. Expensive to replace with a large degree of price differences across dealers. Also obviously not necessary if it’s been removed for the N of all cars 😢
The regular car is getting the rear wiper as standard on the 2025 model year cars (PE version ) CarSceneKorea has a comparison vid : ruclips.net/video/fiVJV4BPmcs/видео.htmlsi=fv-CNTNjZofU_Q-2
the issue is when someone buys this new and then goes to trade it in there will be massive massive negative equity. You basically need to put 25k down so u can absorb the inevitable plummet of this car. this will be 45k used next year with low miles
65k plus is nuts. Some serious 2nd hand cars in that price bracket and will hold value better. EV bubble is bursting. Great looking car though love what Hyundai are doing lately.
Does this now become the go to family sleeper car…until we get an Audi A6 E-Tron Avant that is 🤔. I would take one in a heartbeat to replace my regular Ioniq 5 and use it to annoy petrol heads and other drivers in Nuremberg 😂
"IONIQ 5N" is a Car that was made to ride No. Some of the Reviews are frustrating There isn't. If you want to review it in this way and in this focus, Just Improved "2025 IONIQ 5 PE" Model, or A Newly added Trim Reviewing the "IONIQ 5 N-Line" model. It would be more reasonable.
The sound thing when you ‘rev’ it is just juvenile. Turns me off the vehicle - that and not knowing if the 12v battery will work. Neighbor has a regular Ioniq 5 but has had battery problems twice.
12v is an issue on a minority of these cars. Had mine 15 months never an issue. The reasons why are now better known by users and Hyundai so less of a problem.
Great car.. brilliant videos BUT THE RESALE OF ELECTRIC CARS IS GONE TO SHIT... I WAS OFFERED 15 K FOR A KIA E NIRO 211D BOUGHT FOR 42K IM GETTING A HYBRID NEVER GOING BACK TO ELECTRIC.... DON'T WAIST YOUR MONEY ON ELECTRIC
No need to shout through the keyboard…One way to stop taking that depreciation hit is to not sell the Niro and keep it 🤷. But choosing to sell it you’re just creating the issue for yourself. 🤯
I think the world’s best selling EV is ugly but I have an Ioniq 5 so it’s a personal preference for sure. Expensive yes but not many cars can balance this performance (not just a straight line) with its practicality at the same price point. The sounds can also be disabled too. I would never buy a Tesla if the fart sounds were standard and not possible to be turned off 🤷
Kind of think this car will occupy a special place in automotive history. Definitely a first of its kind.
100% agree
It has. I believe it's a pivot point much like when Porsche introduced a SUV
@mempto it's an SUV + hatch + engaging. Sounds like a winning formula we might be getting more of these in future from other manufacturers
Ah, there we go. A driver's ev. Too rich for my blood. But I am glad that such a driving experience is available again so soon. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the insight into the future.
Thanks for the comment! More N versions coming from Hyundai I hope

Would have the same trip booked before so I even collected the car 😁
That’s an awesome looking car, love the dash, wheels look fantastic. It’s very cool.
Very cool in fairness

Does this one still have the ability to record the outside of the car like the new model does ?
