For the rear seat belt that you said if it's turned you hear a rattle. Here is something I just thought of that would work for that. Go to the dollar store and see if you can find velcro and take the soft piece and stick it where that seat belt buckle would hit and instead of hitting the plastic and making a noise it'll hit the soft velcro and not make a sound.
Good review btw. I find the shelf in the floor of the door space irritating as well - gathers dust and grime. I also find the lack of a rear wiper occasionally annoying, mostly for road grime and morning dew, but mostly doesn't bother me. Like you, I really like the car.
Thanks so much! You answered all of my questions. I’m a commuter and gas is awful right now. This is one of the cars I’m most interested in. Terrific review.
Depending on your situation, the i3 is something to look at as well if you commute to work. I'm looking at the Ioniq 5 since I just had a baby but I was considering the i3 over my mini Cooper 😅
Hey man I caught this video when doing some research on the Ioniq 5. I just put a down payment on the same exact car and color (digital teal right?) but with the all black interior. So excited to pick it up next weekend. Keep up the great videos and I look forward to seeing more about it. Let me know if you are able to get any fast charging speed tests. I don't do a lot of road trips but I do plan on testing the waters.
Great vehicle (coming from a model 3) only complaint I have which is not too bad is hearing the fan spinning and other related climate control noises (not good at describing noises), however you only hear it if not moving and radio is off. Otherwise really a well made vehicle happy so far at 1k miles in
Agree with Kasper regarding lack of rear wiper. Test drove and bought car on a beautiful day. Never crossed my mind that any crossover would not have a rear wiper! I was also surprised it didn’t have the interior garage door opener. Guess they don’t have many garages in Korea. It also lacked a few creature comforts we were used to because we have had them on our last 5 vehicles. If I had to do it all over, I would have waited until the high end Ionia 5 became available or do a better job of identifying what was missing and shop other brands or models. In spite of these problems, the car is comfortable and fun to drive - even for this 73 year old guy.
After having this car for 3 weeks, my biggest dislike is the lack of a rear wiper. In the rain, the rear window is completely useless, especially if you also have toned windows.
Kasper, is there a rear view camera that you can use while driving? That would offset some of the concerns people have with poor weather and limited rear visibility
Yes, this is pretty bad. Rain is rain, but dusty roads are extremely bad, as rear windows gets completely covered and there is no way to wash off. I live in a cold climate where roads are being de-iced with salt and sand. It becomes very dirty when air dries ou, and the whole spring. Unpaved roads are also really bad. Some weird aerodynamics may be at play here as well, as my other car does not have these problems, without a wiper. Hyundai should have expected bad roads when offering an AWD car.
Enjoyed your review, and since I use to live on Mt Spring Rd, I even recognized your tour! If I was still in the area I would've come over to talk about the Ioniq 5 in person. Hope to be buying one soon.
Glad to see reviews from people who don’t live in SoCal, wear real boots and not Uggs, who get actual road salt and COLD temps, potholes, dirty. ya know, normal people.
I've heard that recent comments by journalists test driving the Ioniq 5 and EV6 regarding concerns with a lack of rear wiper were noted by the manufacturers, we may see wipers in future model years
Nice review, but I'm fedup with all the tall people doing reviews :) Out of spec, Alex on Autos, raiti's ride almost all of you guys are over 6 feet or over 😂. Probably I should start one when I get mine, 5'7" Indian guy in USA :)
They stripped way too many things from the Limited that make the SEL annoying sell for me. I’m glad they’re aren’t doing that stupid subscription bullshit though
Quick maths: 77.4 kWh battery charging from 0-100% is going be about about 70 kwh of juice going into it (EV’s shut off around 10% battery charge to prevent damage). Most manufacturers recommend only charging to 80% on a daily basis to prevent premature battery degradation, so it will likely be about 56 kwh that you put into it on a daily basis. At 2.5 miles per kWh, that is a range of 140 miles to empty. My twice weekly drive to a job site (which has free chargers on the other end of the trip) is 125 miles. I go from near sea level, through maintain passes that hit 3,200 ft elevation and I usually set cruise control to 79 mph. With my current driving style, I’m pretty sure that 80% charge would not go 125 miles based on the numbers you report. I had the same problem with a Tesla model 3 long range. With 80% charge, it would go 160 miles at 2.9 miles per kWh at 79 mph. That is good enough for my work drive, but I didn’t like how low the model 3 is and it is not easy to get in and out of, the way a cross over is.
Hi Larz. Leaving with 80% you would probably be cutting it pretty close with that amount of elevation gain at that speed. In warm weather that drive should be no problem though. Even in near 0°F I'm able to get about 190 miles in a rolling hills scenario. I'm assuming that drive has massive temperature swings as well from sea level to 3200ft?
I have a 2021 Hyundai Sonata Limited and have been using the BlueLink app since I purchased the vehicle half a year ago and it definitely has the ability to turn on my heated leather seats as well as my heated leather steering wheel. It may just not be a feature available for the IONIQ 5 specifically. The Volkswagen Car Net app has less features for the ID.4 than it’s ICE vehicles so it is a possibility. Just like how the Hybrid Limited version on my Sonata lacks a few of the features my car does despite being the same make, model, trim, year, relative cost & chassis, just in the hybrid version of my specific vehicle.
Thank you for your update I had heard and read about the seat belt rattle maybe the best fix is to clip them back in when not in use the rattle would drive me nuts also :) I have AWD Long Range on order in Canada with the Ultimate package which I think is the same as your LTD model in the US, there were a few options I really wanted my garage is very tight so the power side mirrors and the remote parking will be very useful also as you said the heads up display . The biggest fault I thought was the lack of the rear wiper , how are you getting on with that? did you use Rain X . I have since found out my order is a 2023 which is coming with the second rear camera with the video play back in the interior mirror which will help.
I did a video of Rain X vs another type of coating in a previous video. They help but aren't true alternatives to no wiper. th-cam.com/video/TysvWwToKfY/w-d-xo.html

Hi, what do you think of the gear selector behind the steering. Too bad they didn't placed it on the flat portion of the dash just above the climate controls.
I believe the Ionic5 has the shared controls for the climate control and sound system. It seems reviewers unanimously complained about it. Just wondering, in the real world, is it that big of a deal having to switch back and forth depending on what you would want to use.
Great review, thanks! I noticed to the left of your info screen there are two glasses holders. I heard somewhere that was a magnetic panel, but i wasn’t sure if that was a joke. How are those glasses holders affixed to the dash? Thanks!
Nice owner's review. I like the IONIQ 5 a little better than the ID.4. What do you think of the IONIQ 5's wide turning circle? I'm used to small cars that can turn around in tight spots, so that's a concern for me.
@@TheIoniqGuy not sure if you addressed this question but since you mentioned ID.4, maybe you ought to make a video explaining your pros and cons of the Ioniq 5 and that car and why you ultimately went with the choice you did. I bet a lot of folks are considering the slightly cheaper VW vs the more expensive but more capable Hyundai.
Regarding range, I think it is worth saying that winter + many highway routes with speed of 72-75 are a range killer for every BEV currently on the market, as the current batteries are much affected by outside temperatures. I expect your range to increase 25-30% during the warmer times.
Wow, it amazes me that auto hold doesn't stay on in my Niro EV or my Lexus. They finally made it stay on for this car, way to go engineers... How can a feature like this be a trigger that needs to be turned on after every drive? When I started inquiring about this years ago, I thought maybe it was a law or rule but then Tesla had it as a standard feature. Also why do Kia's and Hyundai's make you confirm a EULA when you start the car. Give me the damn option to never see this again. Once again Tesla doesn't have it so they have no excuses to have it.
@@natehill8069 with EV’s not having a clutch pedal a hill start would be problematic so they are fitted with an “Autohold” button which can be selected at the start of a journey so that it stops the car from moving (even on an incline)once it comes to rest and the accelerator is not being pressed. To start to move off on the hill just press the accelerator. No brake buttons to negotiate.
In cold weather, I've been seeing around 205-210. HDA2 is great. It's obviously not perfect but it definitely helps for long drives. On short drives sometimes I'll turn lane centering off and just use the adaptive cruise control. That's what I'm used to on my last car so I'm still weaning myself onto the more advanced system.
400 wh/ mile is ouch. on the lower end battery thats 145 miles of range. i'm guessing this model doesn't have a heat pump and your range is hurt by the coldish temps.
Nothing that will permanently stain it. I've had some sweat marks on the headrest from my bald head but that's about it. Comes off with a rag and some multipurpose cleaner.
I just wish the kwh battery was a tad bit bigger. like at least 85-90 kwh. I don't know if I'm ready to drop 50k-60k on a car that gets me an average of 190-210 miles per charge... Especially the way I drive...that shit getting me like 160 miles per charge lmao.
I've used both a Grizzl-E and recently got a Chargepoint Home Flex as my electric utility was giving a $500 rebate towards the Chargepoint so I'll sell the Grizzl-E in the near future.
@@TheIoniqGuy are you sure that's right? In the Kia it's somewhere in the menus where you can preset a default regen setting for each user. I keep mine on ECO so I never looked into resetting that.
Damn. 400 wh/mi is trash. I wonder why it's so high. Does it have a heat pump? I got my model Y long range in mid November. I've put 10k miles on it so far and lifetime avg is 280 wh/mi, mostly highway 65-70mph. Now that we have 60-70 degree weather I'm seeing 215-240 wh/mi. I really like the look of the Kia but they are gonna have to work on efficiency.
The doors on this car are quite long so the further back you set the seat, the less likely your elbow is to be hitting the B-pillar causing you to have to move the seat further forward so that doesn't happen. I've had that issue in other cars I've owned.
One more annoying thing - invisible door handles from the inside. My passengers experience a huge frustration as they don't see the handles and don't know how to close the doors. And me explaining does not help at all, they end up with more frustration, as they say "where??? I don't see it!!". So called "self driving" is really bad as well. It really struggles to "see" the road and does many random steering inputs, some pretty dangerous. Also speed control when handling other cars entering and leaving your lane is really bad. Also turns are handled poorly - when entering a turn in the road, it will often no longer see the car in front of it and start accelerating, also lose the road and go staright off road, while accelerating. Also I had many "wrong way" errors, even when not using navi. They remained constantly on screen until car was powered down. Covering vital information, like range left. Sound system on my P45 (highest trim?) Is pretty bad. 5-speaker Brabus sound system on my 2004 Smart car is way better. No wireless android auto??? No option to display notifications from the phone on screen or heads up display. And phone's screen is not visible in the dedicated place. Middle console is just nonsense. Especially the part where you are expected to place your phone for charging. It is quite difficult to reach, and you can't see the screen. So I end up putting my phone between my legs or in the cup holder. Quite tragic. The level of integretion under the hood is really low. It is probably 5 years behind tesla.
@@TheIoniqGuy I dislike the tesla as well. It's not like it's a bad car, I chose it from many others. But we should not be all hyped about it, it's certainly not perfect.
Suspension is definitely a little looser. There's 4 speed humps on my way to work. In the CX-5 if I took them at 40mph it was very jarring. In the Ioniq 5 I can take them around 45mph and barely feel them. The speed limit is 35mph on this stretch. If you're referring about the quietness of the cabin, they're actually pretty comparable. The CX-5 was like a tomb at highway speeds and so is the Ioniq. I was always amazed how quiet the CX-5 was, at least the 2017-2022.
Well I thought your review very interesting and liked that you weren't afraid to go negative when called for as reviewers, in general, are pretty poor about reporting negatives. I'm glad to find out the Hyundai Group still has some catching up to do regarding Tesla. IMO, an adequate sound system doesn't cut it in today's market and I'll wager next year's model will have a wiper. The frunk is pathetic! I've got an M3 Dual Motor which impresses me everytime I drive it. Best sound and navigation systems I've ever encountered. Light and wiper auto functions seem to read my mind. I have a bigger frunk but never use it because I detest the way the lid closes. My main gripe is the somewhat harsh ride which is more sports car like than I want at my age. Regular roads the ride and comfort are fine but iffy roads, comfort is lacking. Charging network is perfect!
It adjusts based on your driving. My driving is 90% highway and the average temperature has been 32F. I also haven't been light on the throttle. It's in line with that criteria. It should start increasing as the temp rises.
I don't know of any car that has remote start heated seats. It may have to do with potential fire hazard. Your fanny acts as a heatsink and you'll turn them down or off when they get to hot. Maybe some of the super luxury brands may have that where otherwise it would be too costly to add all the sensors and switches necessary.
Wow, I wasn't aware some cars can do remote heated seats. I know my Niro gets pretty toasty and warm quickly so I don't really miss remote seat heaters. Front and rear window defrost is what I usually need and seat heaters ain't doin much about that. Once I have the front and rear clear I'll switch on the seat and steering heat and basically shut off the cabin heat if conditions allow, saves a lot of juice that way. I wonder who else has remote seat heat.
White seats are for grannies. IDK why Hyundai went for that only on release. That and no roof racks available for kayaks/boards, etc the two big reasons I didn't buy. Ideally would have liked another 8 cm of ground clearance, for even softroading too.
good review, thank you. I really love the styling of the car inside and out. My model Y became available last week, 9 months earlier than expected.. if it hadnt I would have tried to get one of these. One thing that surprised me was tesla software... in the car it doesnt do some things I just assumed it would and the phone app is so wonky i really dont like it. Trying to figure how each charge session went is almost impossible. I cant figure out how much at home charging is even though i have all the set up to my hydro provider plan... and the "other" doesnt seem to be working either.
The way I think of EV revolution is one must first like the exterior design and interior comfort. I think it might be possible to exchange battery/motor to more powerful/faster charging. Software updates can fix the screen readout. I hope I am correct. Thank you for the video.
Great review. I’m pretty sure women would love that large space under the armrest to place their hand bags. It’s also a great place to put your food. Easy access to the fries 🤷🏾♂️
We have an Odyssey now because the Sienna didn’t have a convenient place for the wife’s purse. I’m here because she asked me about this car. Maybe she liked the storage layout up front on this.
I've seen a 3rd party insert for that middle area which gives you some slots and another little compartment. I noticed that the reviewer has the 3rd party glasses holders on the magnetic part on the left side of the steering wheel.
Finally a real world review. Considering getting a base model, as daily life with my wife's model 3 LR has proven electric is doable to completely replace ice. I think the base 5 would make a good second utility urban vehicle for hauling and daily use. 2.5 miles per kwh seems a bit thirsty though. I can find no info on the net about the base model that doesn't have the heat pump, and real world mpge. I did test drive a mid-range rwd, and wasn't super impressed with the acceleration. It seems to run out steam once past 70mph - but it does ride much softer than the model 3. Two very different vehicles with different missions.
Nice review. Did you test drive the Kia EV6? Also coming from a Mazda but a 3 hatch so more like the Kia in style - I also put my bike in the back! For me the Korean cars are the best of the EV atm.
I was a couple weeks early otherwise I definitely would have cross shopped. Saw one at an EA charger the other day and it looks very nice in person. Just a little on the short side.
I have one pair of dark blue jeans and I get transfer onto the outside edge of the seat bottom where I slide across to get in and a little bit of transfer onto the door panel where my knee hits it. Every couple weeks I just use a meguiars leather cleaner wipe and clean it off. Comes off no problem.
Hey thanks a lot for the great review and info. We are about to pull the trigger on the same car. Question: does the lack of a rear windshield wiper bother you? I saw the video with the test of Rainx vs Turtlewax. Thank you!
Hi, can't appreciate you enough for making these videos. 2.5mi/kwh is well below the EPA rating of 2.94 for AWD Ioniq5. Was it because of the cold weather & highway driving??
@The Ioniq Guy - Have you noticed any high-pitched squeal from the motor rear motor area? For my I5 - I get it between 60 MPH - 70 MPH and then completely goes away. Just want to check if you have noticed similar high-pitched sounds from the motor area.
I'm not a fan of the exterior styling and I expected it would look especially bad when dirty, but this video dispelled that notion. The interior is fantastic, and the excellent visibility is something I crave, as my SUV's A pillars often block motorcycles and cars from view. The fixed headrests in the back would bug me too if they block the seats folding down while the fronts are in normal driving position.
Can the windshield blades stand upright? For snow/ice removal. I ask because the 2020 Santa Fe's hood is in the way, making this impossible and insanely frustrating to scrape off ice build-up.
For the rear seat belt that you said if it's turned you hear a rattle. Here is something I just thought of that would work for that. Go to the dollar store and see if you can find velcro and take the soft piece and stick it where that seat belt buckle would hit and instead of hitting the plastic and making a noise it'll hit the soft velcro and not make a sound.

@@natehill8069 with EV’s not having a clutch pedal a hill start would be problematic so they are fitted with an “Autohold” button which can be selected at the start of a journey so that it stops the car from moving (even on an incline)once it comes to rest and the accelerator is not being pressed. To start to move off on the hill just press the accelerator. No brake buttons to negotiate.
Thanks for the video.
What's the real world range on AWD? And how is HDA2 performing on the highway?
In cold weather, I've been seeing around 205-210. HDA2 is great. It's obviously not perfect but it definitely helps for long drives. On short drives sometimes I'll turn lane centering off and just use the adaptive cruise control. That's what I'm used to on my last car so I'm still weaning myself onto the more advanced system.
400 wh/ mile is ouch. on the lower end battery thats 145 miles of range. i'm guessing this model doesn't have a heat pump and your range is hurt by the coldish temps.
Are you not worried the light coloured interior will mark?
Nothing that will permanently stain it. I've had some sweat marks on the headrest from my bald head but that's about it. Comes off with a rag and some multipurpose cleaner.
I just wish the kwh battery was a tad bit bigger. like at least 85-90 kwh. I don't know if I'm ready to drop 50k-60k on a car that gets me an average of 190-210 miles per charge...
Especially the way I drive...that shit getting me like 160 miles per charge lmao.
Where did you get those eyeglass holders?
I made them myself. Video coming later this week.
nice review, I just reserved my SEL and picking it up next week. Can you tell me what brand/model home charge you purchased? thanks for the info!!
I've used both a Grizzl-E and recently got a Chargepoint Home Flex as my electric utility was giving a $500 rebate towards the Chargepoint so I'll sell the Grizzl-E in the near future.
@@TheIoniqGuy Did you hard wire the Home Flex?
No, I installed a NEMA 6-50 outlet for it
Biggest gripe for me is ipedal or sport mode settings don't save. You have to turn them back on every time
Agreed! There's no reason that can't be tied to your driver profile
@@TheIoniqGuy are you sure that's right? In the Kia it's somewhere in the menus where you can preset a default regen setting for each user. I keep mine on ECO so I never looked into resetting that.
Damn. 400 wh/mi is trash. I wonder why it's so high. Does it have a heat pump? I got my model Y long range in mid November. I've put 10k miles on it so far and lifetime avg is 280 wh/mi, mostly highway 65-70mph. Now that we have 60-70 degree weather I'm seeing 215-240 wh/mi. I really like the look of the Kia but they are gonna have to work on efficiency.
Those sunglasses holders next to the steering wheel… where do you find those I need them in my life
I built them myself. Gonna make a video soon
How can i buy one? No dealers seem to have any.
At this point, luck and perseverance.
Does it snow where you live. If yes can you show how it performs
Check out my recent video on snow handling!
I’m confused the reason you like it between your height 6’2 and the armrests. Does the armrest make your legs feel more comfortable?
The doors on this car are quite long so the further back you set the seat, the less likely your elbow is to be hitting the B-pillar causing you to have to move the seat further forward so that doesn't happen. I've had that issue in other cars I've owned.
One more annoying thing - invisible door handles from the inside. My passengers experience a huge frustration as they don't see the handles and don't know how to close the doors. And me explaining does not help at all, they end up with more frustration, as they say "where??? I don't see it!!".
So called "self driving" is really bad as well. It really struggles to "see" the road and does many random steering inputs, some pretty dangerous.
Also speed control when handling other cars entering and leaving your lane is really bad.
Also turns are handled poorly - when entering a turn in the road, it will often no longer see the car in front of it and start accelerating, also lose the road and go staright off road, while accelerating.
Also I had many "wrong way" errors, even when not using navi. They remained constantly on screen until car was powered down. Covering vital information, like range left.
Sound system on my P45 (highest trim?) Is pretty bad. 5-speaker Brabus sound system on my 2004 Smart car is way better.
No wireless android auto??? No option to display notifications from the phone on screen or heads up display. And phone's screen is not visible in the dedicated place.
Middle console is just nonsense. Especially the part where you are expected to place your phone for charging. It is quite difficult to reach, and you can't see the screen. So I end up putting my phone between my legs or in the cup holder. Quite tragic.
The level of integretion under the hood is really low. It is probably 5 years behind tesla.
Why didn't you buy a Tesla then? Sounds like you really dislike the car.
@@TheIoniqGuy I dislike the tesla as well. It's not like it's a bad car, I chose it from many others. But we should not be all hyped about it, it's certainly not perfect.
Absolutely not, no car is perfect. Always room for improvement
How is the drive comfort (suspension, sound dumping) after the cx5?
Suspension is definitely a little looser. There's 4 speed humps on my way to work. In the CX-5 if I took them at 40mph it was very jarring. In the Ioniq 5 I can take them around 45mph and barely feel them. The speed limit is 35mph on this stretch. If you're referring about the quietness of the cabin, they're actually pretty comparable. The CX-5 was like a tomb at highway speeds and so is the Ioniq. I was always amazed how quiet the CX-5 was, at least the 2017-2022.
Where did you get those magnetic glasses holders you have just left of the steering wheel?!?
I made them myself!
Nice job. Very clever, thanks for the response. And thanks for the tip about the USB lights for the storage and back seat areas 👍
I had to look up auto hold. lol
Well I thought your review very interesting and liked that you weren't afraid to go negative when called for as reviewers, in general, are pretty poor about reporting negatives.
I'm glad to find out the Hyundai Group still has some catching up to do regarding Tesla. IMO, an adequate sound system doesn't cut it in today's market and I'll wager next year's model will have a wiper. The frunk is pathetic!
I've got an M3 Dual Motor which impresses me everytime I drive it. Best sound and navigation systems I've ever encountered. Light and wiper auto functions seem to read my mind. I have a bigger frunk but never use it because I detest the way the lid closes. My main gripe is the somewhat harsh ride which is more sports car like than I want at my age. Regular roads the ride and comfort are fine but iffy roads, comfort is lacking. Charging network is perfect!
Have you found the lack of a rear wiper to be a concern?
It's detrimental but it's not a deal breaker, at least for me
@@TheIoniqGuy thanks for the reply. In the video, you didn't mention it, so I figured it couldn't be too bad.
Just curious how come your range said 81 mi but battery was 42%. As in your max range is like sub 200mi? No way.
It adjusts based on your driving. My driving is 90% highway and the average temperature has been 32F. I also haven't been light on the throttle. It's in line with that criteria. It should start increasing as the temp rises.
How is it small crossover it’s the size of BMW X3 ?
Not as small as it seems. Huge wheelbase but small overhangs.
What is auto hold?
When at a stop you push the brake all the way down and it will hold the brakes even if you take your foot off of the pedal.
@@TheIoniqGuy interesting. Sounds handy for long lights and trains
I don't know of any car that has remote start heated seats. It may have to do with potential fire hazard. Your fanny acts as a heatsink and you'll turn them down or off when they get to hot. Maybe some of the super luxury brands may have that where otherwise it would be too costly to add all the sensors and switches necessary.
You've got a good point there, Ed.
My Chevy Bolt heats the driver’s seat when I remote start.
@@eshellswell
Yours is the first and only so far to do that, TMK.
Our 2022 Nissan Leaf does it.
Wow, I wasn't aware some cars can do remote heated seats. I know my Niro gets pretty toasty and warm quickly so I don't really miss remote seat heaters. Front and rear window defrost is what I usually need and seat heaters ain't doin much about that. Once I have the front and rear clear I'll switch on the seat and steering heat and basically shut off the cabin heat if conditions allow, saves a lot of juice that way. I wonder who else has remote seat heat.
White seats are for grannies. IDK why Hyundai went for that only on release.
That and no roof racks available for kayaks/boards, etc the two big reasons I didn't buy.
Ideally would have liked another 8 cm of ground clearance, for even softroading too.
Does it have ventilated seats?
Only on the top trim, the limited trim
It looks pretty beat up for 30 days...
Yeah, it's pretty much a total loss
Living in snow with road salt and everything can ugly/dirty a car pretty quick

That car is so old fashion.. the Jetta Golf 2010 looks way better and modern.
Your presentation is a little bit boring.
It's because your voice.
You don't sound really enthusiasts in my opinion,sorry.
We should all assume, Coco Melon is next on your playlist Henry. Great video!
Dude ever hear of a car wash? How you could make a video presenting such a grimy mess is beyond me.
My channel is real world. There's probably 100 other reviews with spotless cars if that's what you're looking for.
He’s keeping it real Lee. You must be fun at parties.
Getting mine in 3 weeks ! Very impatient. Thank you for your valuable video
good review, thank you. I really love the styling of the car inside and out. My model Y became available last week, 9 months earlier than expected.. if it hadnt I would have tried to get one of these. One thing that surprised me was tesla software... in the car it doesnt do some things I just assumed it would and the phone app is so wonky i really dont like it. Trying to figure how each charge session went is almost impossible. I cant figure out how much at home charging is even though i have all the set up to my hydro provider plan... and the "other" doesnt seem to be working either.
The way I think of EV revolution is one must first like the exterior design and interior comfort. I think it might be possible to exchange battery/motor to more powerful/faster charging. Software updates can fix the screen readout. I hope I am correct. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for honest and candid ownership review - didn’t know about the rear head rests. I agree it’s a great car.
Great review. I’m pretty sure women would love that large space under the armrest to place their hand bags. It’s also a great place to put your food. Easy access to the fries 🤷🏾♂️
That's the best use case I can think of or maybe a lunch bag
The fries!🤣
Agreed, it would be a great place for men to store their "European satchels" too! :)
We have an Odyssey now because the Sienna didn’t have a convenient place for the wife’s purse. I’m here because she asked me about this car. Maybe she liked the storage layout up front on this.
I've seen a 3rd party insert for that middle area which gives you some slots and another little compartment.
I noticed that the reviewer has the 3rd party glasses holders on the magnetic part on the left side of the steering wheel.
I love my ioniq 5
i just bought ioniq 5 to do Uber
I bet it's going to make an amazing Uber car. Will you be able to go the entire shift without charging?
Finally a real world review. Considering getting a base model, as daily life with my wife's model 3 LR has proven electric is doable to completely replace ice. I think the base 5 would make a good second utility urban vehicle for hauling and daily use. 2.5 miles per kwh seems a bit thirsty though. I can find no info on the net about the base model that doesn't have the heat pump, and real world mpge. I did test drive a mid-range rwd, and wasn't super impressed with the acceleration. It seems to run out steam once past 70mph - but it does ride much softer than the model 3. Two very different vehicles with different missions.
Can you provide information on the cool dash mounted glasses holders?
I'd like to know also. Thanks!
I just added a link in the video description if you'd like to purchase!
Excellent review! Luckily the cold complaints don't affect those of us that live in SoCal
The genesis version of this car is so beautiful. More and more car makers are building electric cars. This is the way of the future
Honestly the most useful review I've seen. Thank you!
Some of the buttons should be menu options and some of the touch functions should be buttons. I see 90s Nissan Micra.
That cars looking pissed that its that dirty -__-
Thank you. Very helpful
Nice review. Did you test drive the Kia EV6? Also coming from a Mazda but a 3 hatch so more like the Kia in style - I also put my bike in the back! For me the Korean cars are the best of the EV atm.
I was a couple weeks early otherwise I definitely would have cross shopped. Saw one at an EA charger the other day and it looks very nice in person. Just a little on the short side.
Do you wear a lot of blue jeans? I’m wondering how the blue dye does with those seats.
I have one pair of dark blue jeans and I get transfer onto the outside edge of the seat bottom where I slide across to get in and a little bit of transfer onto the door panel where my knee hits it. Every couple weeks I just use a meguiars leather cleaner wipe and clean it off. Comes off no problem.
Hey thanks a lot for the great review and info. We are about to pull the trigger on the same car. Question: does the lack of a rear windshield wiper bother you? I saw the video with the test of Rainx vs Turtlewax. Thank you!
As of late, it really hasn't. In all fairness though the weather has been dry so the window has been mostly clear in my daily driving.
Do you have to pay a subscription for the blue link app or whatever it's called?
3 years are included but after 3 years you will need to begin paying monthly to use it
Biggest con is no integration with charging networks..
Plug and charge would be very helpful indeed
Hi, can't appreciate you enough for making these videos. 2.5mi/kwh is well below the EPA rating of 2.94 for AWD Ioniq5. Was it because of the cold weather & highway driving??
Idk what type of camera you’re using, but I keep turning down my brightness and nothing is happening. This is sorcery. Great review btw
Tax credit of $7500. BS- buy an EV and pay no tax - make it a law and people will really take notice and buy EV's.
one month updates are the perfect duration to perform a review. long enough to discover glitches and short enough that you do not get used to them.
third world problems. I love it! my best friend said it best... WAAAAA!
I am also looking to purchase the Ioniq 5, how does the battery hold, how many miles can you average on a single charge?
it is not a sedan at all. It is a Hatchback! Sedans has a flat closed off trunk, like a model 3!
Why would you leave your wallet and valuables in the car?
The only EV right now I would buy that isn't 60k+ priced.
@The Ioniq Guy - Have you noticed any high-pitched squeal from the motor rear motor area? For my I5 - I get it between 60 MPH - 70 MPH and then completely goes away. Just want to check if you have noticed similar high-pitched sounds from the motor area.
I have, but I think that's just something you have to deal with with electric motors at high RPM
I'm not a fan of the exterior styling and I expected it would look especially bad when dirty, but this video dispelled that notion.
The interior is fantastic, and the excellent visibility is something I crave, as my SUV's A pillars often block motorcycles and cars from view.
The fixed headrests in the back would bug me too if they block the seats folding down while the fronts are in normal driving position.
Can the windshield blades stand upright? For snow/ice removal.
I ask because the 2020 Santa Fe's hood is in the way, making this impossible and insanely frustrating to scrape off ice build-up.
They do
Hand bag! HAND BAG!
This is cheaper than tesla and less wait time of pickup.
Seriously? So far it's been quicker to get a Tesla than a Hyundai in UK at least.
What is auto hold?
When you press the brake all the way to the floor the car will stay stopped if you take your foot off of it
@@TheIoniqGuy TY
Great video. How does the car perform when using the AC? How does it change the frequency for charging?
If you adjust the AC in a significant way, it will estimate range loss and show it immediately. Most I've ever seen is 10 miles or so.
2.5 mile per kwh is far less than paper MPGe I think... Hopefully it will improve when you drive longer
Already improving with warmer weather!
Good review
Great video
"teal and tan interior"
Noticed you have the MA-1 for android auto. Any issues using it with the Ioniq?
I have an occasional connection drop but idk if it's the MA-1 or the cars connection to that
Great video!
You can put hamburgers and fries in the middle console
I like the way you think 👍
