- I'm back with something special... Yes this is the New Hyundai IONIQ 5 in the Ultimate spec!
There has been A LOT of hype online about the IONIQ 5. It's a rival to some of the best EVs on the market; the likes of the Tesla Model 3, VW ID4 and Ford Mustang Mach-E. All great opponents, but does the IONIQ 5 have the edge and it live up to the hype... or is it just ALL hype?
If you're considering an IONIQ 5 for your next car, let me help you to decide... Watch my in-depth review now.
PLUS - If you pop over to my TikTok account (@shetalkscars) you'll find my 7-day video diary of living with the IONIQ 5! It includes charging and what it was like in snow.

What the Vw beetle did for petrol power, the Hyundai is now doing to green power.Nothing else like it on the road.A real gamechanger.
I love this comment. Great way to think of it Joe and I fully agree! 🙌
Virginia, USA. My wife & I just took a demo drive in the 2023 Hyundai Ionic 5 SEL AWD (one level below the most rare Limited version). This car was quiet (no Tesla rattles!), handled very well for a touring car, had excellent brakes and very strong, linear acceleration. The rear seats were nicely comfortable while the front seat were very comfortable. The rear seats fold down to allow a long trunk area which allows a normal road bicycle to fit inside without being dismantled. As 99% of American drivers expect, the salient car information, like a speedometer, was available on the dash directly in Front of the driver - no need to look dangerously far away from the road view like the Tesla requires. Also the many standard buttons and knobs make may things daily tasks super easy to get to and adjust by tactile feel - you are not forced, like in Tesla, to divert your eyes (dangerously) away from the road, and then flip through many, many menus to perform a simple task like turning on the wipers! And another very nice feature of the Ionic 5 is the huge sun/moon roof has a nifty closable cover to prevent passengers from baking in the sun (another glaring fault of Tesla). Sadly, the attractive 20" wheels you show on your test Ionic 5 do not seem to be normally available on 2023 Ionic 5 cars (available so far) in America, which seem to all come with the 19" wheels. My local dealer said that these larger wheels are an option only on the Limited version, however Hyundai USA is not yet accepting orders for specially optioned Ionic 5 cars , yet. And finally, for me, the hatchback look and stance of this car is very cool. The 3/4 view is probably the best in the industry of all SUV/Crossover/Hatchback designs ICE or EV.
Full recline seats and a movable centre console and loads of front floor space...and the award for Best Car Sex goes to the Hyundai Ioniq 5.
Whoa!!!
That was amazing !!!
Your reviews are truly admirable !
Keep making amazing content !
Thanks - I’m glad you enjoyed it! 🙌
Another great review Abi, I really like these, like the futuristic styling
Thank you, appreciate the kind words. Yes me too… it’s like a space ship! 🛸
Ive the Project 45 version - 0-60 in 5S. AWD has a snow mode. There is a * on the steering wheel and under the screen that you can programme, for example going straight to the set heater screen. Fab car. Thanks for the review
Nice Julian! How long have you had it? After filming this it actually snowed where I live and I discovered snow mode. However this model is RWD! It is actually really good in the snow (I’d imagine the weight distribution helps a lot).
Thanks for taking the time to comment and share that! Definitely a bit jel that you have the IONIQ 5 and AWD version! My ideal spec!
@@SHETALKSCARS so I’ve had my Project 45 spec car in Digital Teal Green, with light grey & teal interior since 1st September. ‘Tis a lovely thing. Excellent EV match to our Honda e. The only thing that would make me change one is an affordable EV sports car
@@juliandclarke You’ve got great taste Julian. Quite a desirable set of cars you’ve got there. I’d have ‘em! 🙌
Top job on a complete review in a quick manner , and your hair is awesome .👌
Thank you Andrew :)
Marvelous job. You deserve way more views and subs 👍🏼
Thank you Jay - quality not quantity! Thanks for being here and for the lovely words :)
Awesome review . Thank you
I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙌
Great video, instantly subbed.
Thanks Angel - appreciated 🙌
The 4 dots on the steering wheel are Morse code for H
I’ve since learned that Seb. I didn’t learn morse code at school, Did you take some sort of class to learn? 😂
@@SHETALKSCARS 😂 I was a slightly odd child and found it fascinating.
This is a really nice review, best I've see - your delivery is excellent and informative as I am a wanna be owner with a reservation of the Ioniq 5. Happy Holidays!
List price?
Thank you. I really appreciate that! Have you test driven one? If not I recommend it. Great car :) and happy holidays to you too.
@@charlesodonnell3121 for the uk?
She aced it no doubt.
Love at first sight with this car.thank you for review. 😎
Yes! Beautiful isn’t it. Glad you enjoyed the review :)
I don’t care about the car it’s that “accent” love it and she is a looker. Hope she isn’t high maintenance. Nice review with a view : ) “oooohhh there is a spider”
😂 I am high maintainance. My poor husband.
Great 'real world day-to-day' review of the Ultimate RWD, and glad that I found it...I have just ordered the Ultimate AWD 306ps with tech pack, which will be my first move into not only EVs but also away from BMWs, having owned M's, convertibles and currently X5 and into a Hyundai.
Having test driven the iX40 recently I am really impressed with the boot load space and front & back seating space of the Ioniq 5 as a comparison, and whilst not as an elevated driving position that the iX, the Ioniq 5 seems to tick more boxes for a c.£50K crossover car/SUV versus a £85K (when spec'd) SUV.
The four dots on the steering wheel are Morse code for H.
Ordered mine today AWD premium long range.
I’ve since learned this 😂 oh nice! Let me known what you think to it.
Never liked or commented on a TH-cam video before but you gave a fabulous review, top notch. You deserve a like and a comment. Great Job!
Thanks Duke, I really appreciate that :)
The Ioniq 5 is definitely on my shortlist, I think it is far prettier than the Kia EV6 which is built on the same platform. I love the retro styling of the lights and I think the body is reminiscent of the Lancia Delta HF Integrale rally car from the 80's and 90's. Loved the side by side comparison with the Range Rover, it really doesnt feel so big from behind the wheel though.
The Vehicle to Load facility is a killer feature, and I think from memory you can charge from 0% to 80% in about 18 minutes at an appropriate fast charger so yeah, this does a lot to dispel any range anxiety.
One thing I don't like is that when you put it in sport mode the main screen changes from the serene blue to a vibrant red, not a big thing but you don't really want to be highlighting that to your 'passenger'.
The long range AWD brings the 0-60 time down to 5.2s and that Frunk looks like a useful space too
Hi Mike - yes IONIQ 5 is a really great addition to the EV offering I agree.
Thanks for the kind words, appreciate that. I just wanted to demonstrate the actual size as I feel without something to compare it to, it’s a massive optical illusion!
Would it be your electric car of choice?
@@SHETALKSCARS It's definitely on my shortlist, although I really like the drive of the Polestar 2. Ultimately of the two I think the Hyundai will be easier to live with. The rearward visibility of the Polestar is compromised and the legroom may make it uncomfortable on longer journeys. So yes I think the Hyundai is probably what I would go for, in Long Range AWD form RRP £45,145.
There's a massive gap in the EV market though for a convertible - I guess the 'top-down' drag and the smaller battery size would kill the range, but I'm surprised no manufacturer has teased anything yet in either 2 or 4 seat variants.
@@mikeperrett1539 I think convertibles are a tiny niche. Most people will prefer a panoramic roof with proper A/C. And why give up one of the advantages of EVs (quietness in the cabin) for a roof that will be closed 95% of the time anyway? Probably also very hard to make one with a proper safety rating.
Amazing review! I am in the market for a stylish EV and the Hyundai Ionic 5 is top 3 on my list. I like the styling and the specs. Also being 6ft, it looks quite roomy.
Thanks Mr Holmes! Yes, the Ioniq 5 is really roomy. Quite deceptive actually. What are the other two on your list? 👀
Do love the look of this car. A futuristic Lancia Delta Integrale on steroids
Great review. Quicker way to get to the seat warmer is to press WARMER on the lower panel. That takes you right to the seat panel on the infotainment screen. But yeah, a button somewhere would be easier.
I discovered this shortly after filming. 😂 But completely agree, a button would be great!
Cracking video Abi! 👌🏼 ... Today's the day I review an EV too 🙈
Thank you! Oh really?! Did you enjoy it?
@@SHETALKSCARS Noooooo 🙈🤣 you can see the video I did, just make sure you have some popcorn at the ready 🍿
Thanks for the great review. The 4 dots on the steering wheel are Morse Code for H. The Ioniq 5 is on my short list but my wife won't consider it because our neighbours across the street have already put a pre-order on one - can't drive the same car as our neighbours now can we - even though they've ordered one in blue and I'd go for the matte grey? Guess I'll have to wait for the Genesis GV60.
The matte grey one in the showroom already has scratch marks around the door handles. And the auto pop-out handles aren't available on delivery cars in the UK - only the "45" first edition and (surprise surprise) the press and review cars.
Thanks John. Ah! That’s interesting. Shows what I know about morse code ey? 😂 Oh no way as if the neighbours got one first. Personally it’s that good I’d just go for it. But the Genesis looks amazing I’ll admit!
Thanks for the review! Just got my Ioniq 5 last week. Do you mind telling me where you got your trunk’s cargo cover?
It should come with the vehicle.
It should come with the car !
How does a vehicle go through so many years of planning without anyone realising that switching on heated seats through the menu is a massive inconvenience
Having spent a little longer with it - you can access the heating/heated seats via a button. But then you do have to click on the touchscreen. Definitely one thing I’d change but wouldn’t put me off having one 😂
Hey what exact Color is this one? It looks like light matte grey but I thought they only had shooting Star matte grey
i just bought one. Ultimate awd, hope I will be pleased
Are you pleased?!
Got one of the AWD limited on order, sadly in New Zealand they're not showing up until Q2 22. Agree with pretty much everything, love the more in depth look at the screens you had than other reviewers. Hoping the heated seats button gets made simpler, that's something that could be done by a downloaded update. Worth noting that the AWD models make 0-100kph in 5.1 seconds (and I've seen the test coming back as a touch under 5 seconds from reviewers), so definitely an option for those who want something quick off the mark. I've seen varying comments around range and I think a good bit of it comes down to how people drive. Overall really excited to see what it's like having one for more than a test drive mid next year.
Lucky you! It will be worth the wait Jonathan. You’ll have to let me know what you think!
On my 2022 plate Ioniq 5 ultimate, the door handles do not come out 😢 am I doing something wrong?
what colour is that car?
@SHETALKSCARS, Good review, thanks. I'm waiting for delivery of mine (Ultimate 72kwh RWD in Galaxy Grey). On my second test drive the car had been standing in rain. The rear screen airflow was great for clearing the droplets - but only above 50mph! Useless for visibility in town or reversing etc. Ask your dealer if it comes with a supply of Rain-X. Oh, and in spite of all the press and review cars having the auto pop-out door handles, they aren't even an option on delivery UK cars. Grrr!
Thanks Ian. Appreciate that. Oh wow! Love galaxy grey too. Let me know what you think when it comes!
@@SHETALKSCARS I certainly will, although it was due next week and is still waiting to be shipped in S Korea.
She looks great. I'm not referring to the car... Hahaha
Me too will second that.
They didn't put the vision sunroof in the ultimate overseas?
Gear shift paddles😂😂😂😂Apart from that good review 👍👍👍
‘Shift paddles’ then - they operate the regen braking 😂
@@SHETALKSCARS great review btw👍👍😁😁
@@keithbrown9061 thanks Keith! ☺️
You deserve your own TV show now Abi! Ahahah P.s love the car
Haha thanks Army! Yeah? Does it get your seal of approval? Congrats on your TH-cam by the way. You’re doing great 🙌
@@SHETALKSCARSit certainly does! Thanks you Abi! You are reaching 1k super quickly as well! You’ll be passed me soon
@@ArmaganDemiral nah you’re great too. Keep it up Army! 🙌
No wiper on the back windshield is a show stopper for me. Backup cams are great, but it can be hard to see what's behind that massive C pillar, even with a cam back there. I live in Edmonton and most of our winter involves sloppy roads wet with snow and sand, and I'm constantly using my rear wiper / washer to keep the back window clear. I can't imagine how often I'd have to get out to hand wash the rear windshield if I owned this car.
Hi Scott - I live in Yorkshire and we have lots of rain and we seem to get snow more often in winter in the last few years. It actually snowed after I made this video and it was actually fine!
@@SHETALKSCARS Here in Edmonton, Canada, on wet winter days, the sand they spread on the road for traction turns to muddy road spray. After about 2 kilometers driving at 80 km/h, my back window is opaque brown, and only the part cleared by the washer/wiper is clear enough to see through. A half hour drive down the freeway may require washing and wiping the rear window about 4 to 5 times. Sadly, the backup cameras also get coated, so they can't be relied upon as a solution here. I really need a back washer/wiper on a car like this.
Why why get rid of the rear wiper? I would take the tiny bit of extra drag for the convenience of having a rear wiper. Great review though 👍
More aerodynamics apparently! There's a lot of Porsche without rear wipers. May have to be a retro fit!
@@SHETALKSCARS Without the wiring and mounting points there it would be a bit of a nightmare to retro fit. Don't fancy doing that on a new car. Shame though. It's a tiny little thing I know, but probably wouldn't put me off buying one.
@@breezeracing8015 that’s a good point. I will have to ask the question! And I agree, wouldn’t put me off one either. It brings a lot to the table!
Why didn't they put the rear wiper up out the way under the rear spoiler seems the obvious place to reduce drag and clear water and debris of the rear screen.
You could mount it under the spoiler and have no added drag.
The dots on the steering wheel are morse code for H for Hyundai
Yep ... apparently so!
beautiful car. more beautiful youtuber.
But what will.it cost to charge ??
Are you doing a full review of the mg ZS EV?
Hi Shaun I am. It’s just a bit late - it’s nearly finished though :)
I saw another review where the car went from 0-60 in 5 sec. That is fast.
They’re pretty nippy Bill!
Weirdly, this is the only review where the hood storage is actually big. Everywhere else shows a total failure small storage that barely fits a kid school bag.
I guess this is one of the most expensive (???) or the cheapest edition since it lacks physical parts (???), no idea.
Looking forward to have it available back in Australia, sold out everywhere.
Was wondering the same , this one has a good deep frunk not too bad at all. I think because it's a rear wheel drive only one.
@@andrewashmore8000 in the US I believe, you don't get the deep frunk coz it allow a child to get stuck in. The solution would require Hyundai to add a quic release so instead, even the RWD has the small frunk.
I really haven't checked if the same rule applies to Australia. I believe we get the same "rules" like UK. Let's see.
Ah I see , that makes sense now. Bit of a shame for the US customers. On a different note , just found out what the 4 dots are on the steering wheel are for . It's morse code for H.
No rear wiper..no dice.Had the ioniq hybrid for 2 years, had to clean rear window every day..never again..you need a rear wiper for UK /Irish climate /roads.
To each is own... I have a GR Yaris now without a rear wiper and I live in Yorkshire. It's fine!
Nice 👌
Thank you!
The only problem is the steering wheel is on the wrong side on the car for driving in NEW England. Cheers from Boston Mass.
Haha Richard - I'm in UK England 😂
I've test drive 2 electric cars polestar 2 and iqonic 5 and broke both of them within half hour. Polestar the brakes jammed shut, iconic 5 transmission overheated. If you got all that performance and can't use it what's the point.
Oh no Raj, really? How did both break? Are you a bit heavy footed? 😂
@@SHETALKSCARS think I drive like I stole them.
@@SHETALKSCARS no when have car I like to test them like how I drive.
Just ordered mine today in the grey matte. It’s an absolutely stunning car. I’ve gone for the ultimate techno pack also . I won’t get it until October That’s the downside.
Oh nice choice Zak! It’s worth the wait though!!!
Which Color is this one?
Beautiful design inside out, nothing Toyota and Subaru know how to do.
No comment 😂
@@SHETALKSCARS by the way, the 4 dots on the steering wheel is the Morse code for H, I guess it’s stands for Hyundai?🙃😊
HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 MADE IN INDONESIAN SUKSESS SELALU OKE
You say the word "Hyundai" as if it rhymed with "Sunday". Thanks
😂 I’m from Yorkshire Jimmie. Not sure if you can tell. We say things a little different around here!
Jesus - this girls accent is brutal
It’s Yorkshire. The accent of God’s county. 👍
Beautiful hair.
Thank you
Nice electric.
I think so too!
The frunk here is a lot deeper than the N. American version I've seen.
This was a RWD so more frunk space.
Hyundai (Hun-Day)… like Sunday.
😂
gear shift paddles ????- someone needs more research

iconic 5 😂😂😂🤣🤣😆😆
Isn’t it!!!
