Nice upgrade on the 2025!!👍🏽 I do luv my 2023 Hyundai ionic and performance. But through Hyundai I got a good deal on the 2023 ionic 5 dual motor which i upgraded from the 2020 Santa Fe turbo. The difference between the 2 I notice is that the Hyundai ionic 5 doesn’t require oil changes but very quick on acceleration but the Santa Fe was more responsive on rough roads then my ionic 5 which skips and looses traction if you hit a bump or pothole in roadways at higher speeds not sure why🤷🏽♂️ But on the Santa Fe I spent a lot of money on fuel cost like $350 and $400 monthly.
You had the XRT listed with a ground clearance of 8 inches, but I think it’s 7. I only noticed because I’d like it to be 8 because that’s what I have on my current car and I like it. The I5 sits a little low for me, but I figure I’ll get used to it.
A key reason to wait for the 2025 is that the dash is now harmonious with other Hyundai cars such as the new Santa Fe. We have one and I would not want the old model as it is opposite to that car. Also it has real physical buttons for climate seats/wheel now. It seems small but that was enough for me to wait.
@@Molishious on the pre-25 models the steering wheel controls like the cruise control etc are on opposite spokes to the new Santa Fe. I heard that all their electric cars were like this. But now it seems they have moved back to having all controls laid out the same on the wheel.
I agree. Seems crazy to me to worry about designing a car for efficiency and then put wheels on it that reverses so much of the other engineering. I also don’t find the larger wheels to be more attractive. Although I have heard they can help with handling, but not with ride quality, which is probably more important to most people.
I don’t understand how someone can recommend a 24 over a 25. The software upgrade (big deal) and usb ports alone are reasons to choose the newer vehicle. As a very happy 5N owner, I appreciate these upgrades immensely (N driving differences aside). Wireless carplay, etc.
Fair and I should watch your other video! But as a person that keeps my car for as long as possible, I always want the newer ports and software I can get at the time. Thanks for the great videos!
The J3400 port is no big deal to me. I already have an adapter for when and if Tesla gives Hyundai the green light -which I would only use in an emergency. I get all kinds of compliments on my Limited's wheel covers. As for the cupholders, I much prefer them side-by-side. As for range, the 84 kWh battery boosts my range… only 9 miles. No big deal, if you ask me.
I’m perplexed about why the range improves so little on the limited compared to other trims. My guess is they are making up for the fact that they had the same range before for the cars with different wheel sizes and are now taking the wheel size into account with the 2025 limited. Just a guess though of course.

When will it be able to charge at non MagicDock chargers? Is there any definitive word?
When Hyundai starts shipping the 25s from Georgia, the chargers will open. That will be Q1 of 25...soon!
Wish the gv70 electrified got the new larger bat.

What do you mean by the dash is harmonious?
They did a nice job with the 25...I would just hold off and not buy one of the first cars out of the factory:)

Are those rims 19"? Not sure why Hyundai insists on hurting range on the Limited with the 20" rims.
Americans seem to like big rims. I would love 18" wheels.

Price, price, and price. New production factory, etc.

Until Tesla gets out a significant of V4 chargers, it is still faster to jump on a 350 Electrify America charger...when they are at full power.
@@electricprincipal543 Agreed! On a recent 1,689 mile roadtrip to CA, we averaged 13 minutes per charge at the Electrify America stations.

@@Molishious I think you are right. I wish they would ship them all with 18s.
