Your review is on point. I traded my Elantra N, which I tuned with a Stage 2 ECU, for the Ioniq 5N as soon as I saw it sitting at the dealership. The Elantra was no slouch, and seriously a fun car to drive, and this Ioniq 5N is an absolute dream come true. It's practical, it's quick AF and super fun to drive without breaking a sweat. Heck, I even got it to fishtail on a turn and the car didn't skip a beat. I've never felt this zen driving this fast. With commerical electric rates in the US, it'll cost me 4 cents per mile, as Im currently getting around two miles per kwh - and I'm stepping on it like there's no tomorrow. In comparison, my 2023 Elantra N got 13mpg with my same insanely heavy lead foot driving. Another thing that's pretty impressive - there is not a single rattle or shake on the 5N. The car seriously feels solid. In my book this 5N is an absolute winner, and the retro futuristic hot hatch look is super fuckin' cool. I personally actually like the stiffer suspension and will likely lower the car when I can get my hands on a set of suitable springs. Anyways, best review of this car so far & 100% lines up with my impression... I spooled 1k miles in a week. Keep up the good work!
Hey Yuri, just a heads up, it actually wasn't your circuit breaker tripping when you tried plugging it into your wall outlet, it was the GFCI (ground fault current interrupter). The reason is that all of these 120V "chargers" (EVSEs) have their own GFCI protection built in, and they run a self-test of it during their startup. If they're plugged into a GFCI outlet, they have no way of telling the outlet that they're doing a self test, so as far as the outlet knows, a ground fault is occurring. Just like if you pressed the "test" button on the outlet. For the vast majority of these 120V EVSEs, you need to use them on a regular outlet/circuit that does not have its own GFCI protection. Unfortunately, GFCI protection is required in recent homes for outdoor outlets on a porch, and I believe maybe also in garages. Some people who own a PHEV or EV just replace the outlet with a non-GFCI model, but of course the vast majority just install a hardwired Level 2 EVSE, like the Tesla Universal Wall Connector. Hope that clarifies!
I believe that one of the reasons why this car is so good is that the head of Hyundai’s N division was recruited from BMW M division. It’s good to have someone serious at the top of the division. What Hyundai has done is not rocket science but an understanding and attention to and commitment to detail.
Hyundai EVs are not only Getman but also uniquely Korean. They're excellent mechanically as well as electrically and electronically, which German EVs could't follow, at least till now.
The 6N is gonna be the best sports sedan (semi-affordable) in the world. This is what electric cars should be, normally I’m a ICE guy (V8🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸), but I love this!
I just got an Elantra N, and Hyundai are really destroying the competition and the pricing is spot on. Absolutely punching above their weight/price. Hyundai is really showing everyone they have the chops to compete, and even surpass. One of the best times in history to be a car enthusiast!
I genuinely think this need to be the way all EVs are made moving forward. I would love to see other legacy brands that make excellent sports cars try to implement some of these innovations; while I don't think EVs are a silver bullet in curtailing climate change, but they CAN be a ton of fun, and this car is the incarnation of making them an absolute blast to drive. I am excited to see the next gen of sports cars using EV and hybrid tech that the more expensive super car marques are implementing today
Good point. I, in theory, will go kicking and screaming into the next era. Yet, without even realizing it, I found myself wanting this car. It would really be a nice parachute for us gas snobs
Another channel had an EV mega comparison including Pininfarina Battista (mechanically same as Rimac Nevera) that cost $ 2 million and picked Ioniq 5 N as the best EV performance car because it was the most fun to drive. Enough said.
I can't believe I already saw one of these in person. It really is the perfect all rounder... except the range. But this has so much horsepower that it's a sports car and range doesn't matter
There are hundreds of small companies in the EV industry, which has a low barrier to entry technically, but it seems that Hyundai, a major internal combustion engine company, is the only one making a true EV.The Ioniq 5N has set the standard for high performance EVs.
Man, Hyundai is killing it with the EV's. Gotta say I was never a fan of their ICE offerings but their EVs have me wanting to actually buy a Hyundai. GOod review boys!
I think Jakub nailed it with the transition period comment. Makes it fun for sure! Love the color. Hyundai/Kia have been putting out some really cool EV products that look good.
Finally an EV that didnt cost cut and kept buttons in their car besides putting everything on a screen. Clicking a button to turn on sport mode or having a scroll wheel will forever be satisfying to me.

The price is actually a bargain if you want a sports car that can compete with a 200k car. Hyundai is offering 2 years free charging and some states offering 7500k to 11k off in rebates.
I just want a faster car that has good range and costs about $20k less...ah yes, the Tesla Model 3 performance! Much better for adults. This N is for boy racers.
@@nabieladrian I guess you are a boy racer then?! I just prefer a car that has a +200 mile range not the pathetic 180 or so you would get from the N. This is why N owners have gone back to range anxiety!
@@GuiGabois since when M3P is a faster car?? since when.. Good range yes with pathetic cooling capabilities on brakes and battery, go home Tesla fanboy.
@@GuiGabois You got that all wrong old man. Ioniq 5N is for real racers. What can the Tesla do? Go fast in a straight line? Is that what old men think is cool nowadays? Slamming your foot down as hard as you can, holding your wheel in a fixed position, and just looking straight out the windshield while thinking, "Oh, I'm so cool!!" I laugh at idiots that think drag racing is worth anything. It takes 5% of the skill required to actually race on a track and maybe 30% of the engineering needed for a car to do well on a track.
I think it's super expensive right now for EVs. In time maybe, but I doubt it will be in the near future as it would just cost too much for their market. Genesis would likely be the first one since that's their luxury brand.
@@agungwisenoyeah that's pretty cool, Lexus has a concept gearbox that is a manual transmission but it's for electric cars, I think they have tested it in their new UX or some electric suv or something they have.
EV's can have a 'no mans land' feel with such a wide 1 gear power band. Mimicking per-gear power curves and sound as a reference point is so brilliant!! Sporty driving in previous EV's used a lot of driver focus to connect your speed with where you are in the power range, this looks like it totally frees that focus up! Bravo Hyundai !
Two months in and still loving it here in the USA. Have seen 257 range (city) in commute driving. Edmunds says 260 after their testing. Of course, driving harder on the weekends gives you less range. 😂 I charge for free at work, have a home charger and the 350kw near me works and we’re seeing 18 mins to 80 when we need it. Thanks for the fun video!
@@conrado800 Pirelli summer tires did not last 40K on the Mustang convertible that I had beforethis car. That said, it took me eight years to hit 40k. I haven't based my car purchases on the tires.
It is truly amazing what a brand like Hyundai managed to achieve before any other major player did. This car is revolutionary for the EV world, everyone should be taking notes.
Wow. Hyundai has been introducing very innovative cars as of late. This car is suddenly the top EV in the market. It seems like they left no stone unturned with it. Too bad it's expensive, but you get so much in value. I kinda want one. Over 600 horsepower!!!
I got a Kona N, I was interested in the Ioniq 5 N but the price and range makes me feel like I gotta wait till they drop in price or refresh with a longer range model.
Posting a second time because you guys have done the best job both navigating and explaining the infinite and various settings out of anyone to date on TH-cam. Loving my 5N in abyss black, still digging into all the awesome variations of driving this e-beast of a sports car.
I remember how most people, would laugh at the idea that Hyundai had for the Ioniq 5N, and then when they saw the reveal video, people laughed some more. But look who's laughing now.
@@GuiGabois You obviously don't understand the context. When he said "people," he didn't mean you, or any other individuals. No product is ever going to have 100% approval from every single person living on earth. What he means is the general consensus.
this is 1 of the most proper review on most of the setting, it's insanely good.. Almost all review that i watched before didn't set properly as the sound is switched off once they press the NGB
It’s just a fun car that just happens to be electric. This car seems to be so fun and combines the best of ICE and EV into a nearly perfect package. Can’t wait to test drive one, though I am quite happy with my current EV.
These reviewers don’t realize you only get full 600 hp (640 hp with NGB) when at default 50/50 torque distribution. If set to 100% RWD torque, you only get the hp of the rear engine. Same for FWD.

They did it! After years of almost getting there, they finally did a car review that’s nothing but walking through a bunch of menu screens. Congrats guys! You must be in heaven. 😂
your charging issue is with Electrify Canada... not the car itself. EA here in America, 80% of the time, we get 200-237kwh speed most of the time. Maybe try other DCFC stations that is not Electrify? Like any ICE sports car, its the same with range how they aggressive they use their car so for an EV that is a sports car... it is still a very efficient car compare to ICE. if you drive aggressively on a gas car... you get like 12-15mpg
This might be the only EV I would consider buying. Everyone else, pay attention to Hyundai/Kia. They are kicking dust in the faces of most auto manufacturers.
Credit to Hyundai for really going all in with their N brand, across several areas of their lineup. Between the Elantra, Kona, Veloster, i20, i30, and now Ioniq5, has there been a bad N product so far?
12:20 whoever programmed this... So the name you are looking for is Albert Biermann. Ex-BMW M and has basically created what N stands for at Hyundai. This is his last car and there are some videos where he very openly talks about his ideas for the car. Basically, he pushed the ignition mode and got the guy who actually chief engineered the DCT to tune the fake gears. For example, he also talked about how he had the mindset of getting engagement instead of performance. That is why in fale gear mode, they do not go full power, so they have some left for the faked "shift kick". It is amazing and this car is basically his legacy, since he is going to retire after. There is an amazing video with him and a German influencer (JP) where he talks a lot about the development. Maybe auto transcribe works fine for it...
Biermann didn't really contribute much to this project beyond giving it his approval. Hyundai has been leveraging his name to enhance their brand image. The real contributors were a group of young engineers in their late 20s and early 30s who grew up playing Gran Turismo. These talented individuals are implementing significant engineering changes at Hyundai. Trust me, I have firsthand knowledge of this.
Ioniq 5 N Bricked. Never thought I would use that term but it aptly describes my vehicle. 7000km and now it won’t move. Sitting in a dealership waiting for Hyundai Canada to do something.
My issue from experiences this past winter pushing the 5 cars out of snow. The Iconiq is too low to the ground for winter driving. Getting hung up on the underside smooth panels
I think the genesis gv60 performance or whatever has the sound and shifting option too from a review i watched. might only be available in certain markets but i think that one sounded like the v6 tt they have iirc
@@GuiGabois5N recharge is 50% faster , there is no time gap on 1000km trips between this and the Y Performance. I bet you never claimed the Model Y Performance is not made for trips. Even it would be right because the comfort in the 5N is far better. 5N is also more silent on the highway. Troll on
@@GuiGabois First you complain about the I5N's insufficient range and when it is explained to you that it has the same cruising speed as a Tesla Model Y even over long distances, then long distances no longer play a role. You're really funny 🤣🤣🤣.
Seen it lap the nurburgring and I think it's the first car that can go for 2 maybe 3 laps balls to the wall and if you don't have porsches around it might actually be the fastest thing on track
Charging stations are about $1000-1500 here to have installed. Ain't cheap, but it's not rich person stuff. Def essential for most people outside of metro areas to function normally.
You wont loss 50% in the winter, 10-20% range loss from temperature, 10-20% loss from climate, 10% loss if you put on snow tires (2 can be avoided). Also your GFI outlet is tripping from the charger.
Just over a month into owning the Ioniq 5N, and I couldn't be happier. It's the perfect blend of practicality and excitement, a rare find in today's cars. For me, it's the ultimate midlife crisis cure - assuming you've got the charging infrastructure to support it. In N we trust.

Hyandai is out here absolutely killing it.
I believe that one of the reasons why this car is so good is that the head of Hyundai’s N division was recruited from BMW M division. It’s good to have someone serious at the top of the division. What Hyundai has done is not rocket science but an understanding and attention to and commitment to detail.
Hiring talent away from the Germans seems to be in the Korean car industries DNA now. Styling & Dynamics all bought on the open market.
Albert Biermann was hired in 2015 and recently retired. Changed the game for HMG/KIA
@@cbotten106What is in your DNA but sarcasm?
Hyundai EVs are not only Getman but also uniquely Korean. They're excellent mechanically as well as electrically and electronically, which German EVs could't follow, at least till now.
You know what? Albert has never assisted EV section instead he has helped Hyundai N version . Gasoline I mean
The 6N is gonna be the best sports sedan (semi-affordable) in the world. This is what electric cars should be, normally I’m a ICE guy (V8🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸), but I love this!
Hyundai promised that Ioniq6N will be even crazier than this.. cant wait for it
Holy sh-- 600+HP in that? Thats kick-ass cool
I just got an Elantra N, and Hyundai are really destroying the competition and the pricing is spot on. Absolutely punching above their weight/price. Hyundai is really showing everyone they have the chops to compete, and even surpass. One of the best times in history to be a car enthusiast!
I genuinely think this need to be the way all EVs are made moving forward. I would love to see other legacy brands that make excellent sports cars try to implement some of these innovations; while I don't think EVs are a silver bullet in curtailing climate change, but they CAN be a ton of fun, and this car is the incarnation of making them an absolute blast to drive. I am excited to see the next gen of sports cars using EV and hybrid tech that the more expensive super car marques are implementing today
Good point. I, in theory, will go kicking and screaming into the next era. Yet, without even realizing it, I found myself wanting this car. It would really be a nice parachute for us gas snobs
They want to but it just that they can't.
that super sonic sound boom is insane lol
Hilarious!
I really have been waiting for this review, because no other reviewers seem to care about that particular sound mode.
It would be cooler if it made the noises on the outside. I think the taycan did the EV noise right. Shit sounds like a spaceship from inside and out
Another channel had an EV mega comparison including Pininfarina Battista (mechanically same as Rimac Nevera) that cost $ 2 million and picked Ioniq 5 N as the best EV performance car because it was the most fun to drive. Enough said.
This car is so silly. It just goes to show how much fun Hyundai is having with making their cars now. I love it.
I can't believe I already saw one of these in person. It really is the perfect all rounder... except the range. But this has so much horsepower that it's a sports car and range doesn't matter
Range is the number one concern for EV owners. This is a huge leap backwards. This car is for city burnouts at lights...thats it.
@@GuiGabois from a pure daily/commute standpoint XD it sounds perfect to me esp w.o having to worry about transmission/cvt/dct maintenance
@@GuiGabois recharge 10-80% takes 18min.
I never had to recharge in everyday life.
There are hundreds of small companies in the EV industry, which has a low barrier to entry technically, but it seems that Hyundai, a major internal combustion engine company, is the only one making a true EV.The Ioniq 5N has set the standard for high performance EVs.
Man, Hyundai is killing it with the EV's. Gotta say I was never a fan of their ICE offerings but their EVs have me wanting to actually buy a Hyundai. GOod review boys!
I think Jakub nailed it with the transition period comment. Makes it fun for sure! Love the color. Hyundai/Kia have been putting out some really cool EV products that look good.
Finally an EV that didnt cost cut and kept buttons in their car besides putting everything on a screen. Clicking a button to turn on sport mode or having a scroll wheel will forever be satisfying to me.
Why did you change your profile on TH-cam? 🤣🤣🤣

I've had a regular Ioniq 5 for 2 years and I want this SO bad...
I’ve had my Ioniq 5N a week now, and I can’t stop smiling!!
Super fun car, isn't it? I got up to 1,000 miles in my first week and can't stop smiling and being impressed all the same.
@@MarkusHartel every time I get in mode I’m just elated!!!
Super cool car. I have an Elantra N and absolutely love it. One things for sure, this ev is going to eat ALOT of tires.
It actually doesn't, as confirmed by the youtuber that regularly tracks his I5N on nurburgring.
The price is actually a bargain if you want a sports car that can compete with a 200k car. Hyundai is offering 2 years free charging and some states offering 7500k to 11k off in rebates.
I just want a faster car that has good range and costs about $20k less...ah yes, the Tesla Model 3 performance! Much better for adults. This N is for boy racers.
@@GuiGabois I can smell Tesla fanboy from miles away... and so does everyone. No one is getting fooled here but yourself.
@@nabieladrian I guess you are a boy racer then?! I just prefer a car that has a +200 mile range not the pathetic 180 or so you would get from the N. This is why N owners have gone back to range anxiety!
@@GuiGabois since when M3P is a faster car?? since when.. Good range yes with pathetic cooling capabilities on brakes and battery, go home Tesla fanboy.
@@GuiGabois You got that all wrong old man. Ioniq 5N is for real racers. What can the Tesla do? Go fast in a straight line? Is that what old men think is cool nowadays? Slamming your foot down as hard as you can, holding your wheel in a fixed position, and just looking straight out the windshield while thinking, "Oh, I'm so cool!!" I laugh at idiots that think drag racing is worth anything. It takes 5% of the skill required to actually race on a track and maybe 30% of the engineering needed for a car to do well on a track.
0:32 😂😂😂😂😂 the laugh says it all!
The sound Is gangster😂🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hyundai are going down the right path with their gear simulation. It's pretty cool. Hopefully they can develop real gears like Lexus 🙏
porsche already making physical gear for its taycan (IIRC). but only 2 or 3 gears
I think it's super expensive right now for EVs. In time maybe, but I doubt it will be in the near future as it would just cost too much for their market. Genesis would likely be the first one since that's their luxury brand.
@@agungwisenoyeah that's pretty cool, Lexus has a concept gearbox that is a manual transmission but it's for electric cars, I think they have tested it in their new UX or some electric suv or something they have.
More complexity for a gimmick isn't cool.
@@joshgts9675 some people like it are they dumb according to you? If they have customers pay for it what’s wrong with it?
EV's can have a 'no mans land' feel with such a wide 1 gear power band. Mimicking per-gear power curves and sound as a reference point is so brilliant!! Sporty driving in previous EV's used a lot of driver focus to connect your speed with where you are in the power range, this looks like it totally frees that focus up! Bravo Hyundai !
Two months in and still loving it here in the USA. Have seen 257 range (city) in commute driving. Edmunds says 260 after their testing.
Of course, driving harder on the weekends gives you less range. 😂
I charge for free at work, have a home charger and the 350kw near me works and we’re seeing 18 mins to 80 when we need it.
Thanks for the fun video!
Regarding the 350kw charger, it's silly how bad the chargers are at Jakub and Yuri's location.
Congrats on the purchase. Do you think your tires will last 40k miles? Really want this as my next car (own a Elantra N currently)
@@conrado800 Pirelli summer tires did not last 40K on the Mustang convertible that I had beforethis car. That said, it took me eight years to hit 40k. I haven't based my car purchases on the tires.
Bull...the EPA range is 221. You'd be lucky to get 200 if you drive like a nun.
@@GuiGabois no need to take my word for
It. look up the recent Edmunds video.
When Uri tried to put 100% power to the rear, he slid it back but didn't tap the max rear icon. That's why it put power to the front wheels ! 😅
Entirely agree with Jakub. The simulated ICE is a brilliant transition for this moment in time.
Hyundai just banging the automotive industry 🔥🔥🔥
It is truly amazing what a brand like Hyundai managed to achieve before any other major player did. This car is revolutionary for the EV world, everyone should be taking notes.
This car is really awesome
Wow. Hyundai has been introducing very innovative cars as of late. This car is suddenly the top EV in the market. It seems like they left no stone unturned with it. Too bad it's expensive, but you get so much in value. I kinda want one. Over 600 horsepower!!!
Absolutely a game-changer
This car is literally a driving sim rig that you can drive on the street.
I got a Kona N, I was interested in the Ioniq 5 N but the price and range makes me feel like I gotta wait till they drop in price or refresh with a longer range model.
Electric cars tend to drop in value a lot fastwr than gas cars so you’ll probably be able to get one cheap soon.
Literally makes the car perfect having gears and redline and sound. By no means am I a electric car guy, but this is badass
The amount of "oh shit" semi scared faces on Yuri and Jacob this review sold me on this car.
Yuri has one of those on his face about half the time Jakub is wheeling. That or eyes scanning the interior for a grab handle.
Posting a second time because you guys have done the best job both navigating and explaining the infinite and various settings out of anyone to date on TH-cam.
Loving my 5N in abyss black, still digging into all the awesome variations of driving this e-beast of a sports car.
"N" we are going for a drive😂
As an owner of an ioniq5, I would love to get the 5 N.. It's that good
I remember how most people, would laugh at the idea that Hyundai had for the Ioniq 5N, and then when they saw the reveal video, people laughed some more. But look who's laughing now.
Im still laughing. The range is pathetic!
@user-os1nh7xq1z i dont think people will be buying this for range...but hey, no ones asking you to buy one.
@@sow_scout4989 i would hope not because it doesn't have any decent range! I certainly wont buy one. Too boy racer looking. This is a young lads car.
@@GuiGabois You obviously don't understand the context. When he said "people," he didn't mean you, or any other individuals. No product is ever going to have 100% approval from every single person living on earth. What he means is the general consensus.
@@trstnhn Sales will show the general consensus...and they are not selling very well! Next!
this is 1 of the most proper review on most of the setting, it's insanely good.. Almost all review that i watched before didn't set properly as the sound is switched off once they press the NGB
The best youtube car reviews!!!
If I were to buy an EV (which I'm likely not anytime soon) this would be the car I would buy!
Glad you finally got to play with this toy. Hyundai killed it. Sadly I'm old so I'll stick with the Palisade for a few years more.
I've always loved the Ionic 5. I don't know what it is but it's one of those cars that just looks SO much better in matte color.
Can’t wait for this car to drop in price!
It’s just a fun car that just happens to be electric. This car seems to be so fun and combines the best of ICE and EV into a nearly perfect package. Can’t wait to test drive one, though I am quite happy with my current EV.
HYUNDAI ATW!!! BEEN WAITING FOR YOU GUYS TO DO THE REVIEW ON THIS E-DEMON
Nice review. Bring back the box test for cars like this😊
This car’s chime is the same noise my fridge makes when I leave it open too long
It's probably an LG, parts sharing.
@@cbotten106 it’s a Samsung lol
Software engineer/technician deserves a pay rise 💯% for putting back some calculated robotic/electronic ICE fun characteristics into EV.
These reviewers don’t realize you only get full 600 hp (640 hp with NGB) when at default 50/50 torque distribution. If set to 100% RWD torque, you only get the hp of the rear engine. Same for FWD.
My car collection list:
2014 Subaru wrx sti hatchback
2020 Honda Civic Type R
2022 Toyota Corolla GR
2020 Mini Cooper GP
2018 Ford Focus RS
2024 Hyundai Ionic N
You missed the only hot hatch to win Road and Track Performance Car of the Year... Veloster N
How is Hyundai the first one to make a car like this
They did it! After years of almost getting there, they finally did a car review that’s nothing but walking through a bunch of menu screens. Congrats guys! You must be in heaven. 😂
Yuri’s face around cliche at 12:30 was GOLD 😂😂
your charging issue is with Electrify Canada... not the car itself. EA here in America, 80% of the time, we get 200-237kwh speed most of the time. Maybe try other DCFC stations that is not Electrify?
Like any ICE sports car, its the same with range how they aggressive they use their car so for an EV that is a sports car... it is still a very efficient car compare to ICE. if you drive aggressively on a gas car... you get like 12-15mpg
Car person of the year! Yuri looking a lil green at 12:24 through the corners...
Lol at that sneaky 11:12 speed edit haha
So sneaky that YOU spotted it?
This might be the only EV I would consider buying. Everyone else, pay attention to Hyundai/Kia. They are kicking dust in the faces of most auto manufacturers.
The difference in price from the regular version is crazy........ I'll wait for the fast depreciation and recalls to kick in 😤
Yo that's crazy. You guys are too much fun. 😂😂
Credit to Hyundai for really going all in with their N brand, across several areas of their lineup. Between the Elantra, Kona, Veloster, i20, i30, and now Ioniq5, has there been a bad N product so far?
The blue-gray exterior is very nice in person; especially in matte.
I pick mine up this week. Can't wait!
12:20 whoever programmed this... So the name you are looking for is Albert Biermann. Ex-BMW M and has basically created what N stands for at Hyundai. This is his last car and there are some videos where he very openly talks about his ideas for the car. Basically, he pushed the ignition mode and got the guy who actually chief engineered the DCT to tune the fake gears. For example, he also talked about how he had the mindset of getting engagement instead of performance. That is why in fale gear mode, they do not go full power, so they have some left for the faked "shift kick". It is amazing and this car is basically his legacy, since he is going to retire after.
There is an amazing video with him and a German influencer (JP) where he talks a lot about the development. Maybe auto transcribe works fine for it...
Biermann didn't really contribute much to this project beyond giving it his approval. Hyundai has been leveraging his name to enhance their brand image. The real contributors were a group of young engineers in their late 20s and early 30s who grew up playing Gran Turismo. These talented individuals are implementing significant engineering changes at Hyundai. Trust me, I have firsthand knowledge of this.
1:41 yes, so much yes I agree. Also this is now my dream car.
Ioniq 5 N Bricked. Never thought I would use that term but it aptly describes my vehicle. 7000km and now it won’t move. Sitting in a dealership waiting for Hyundai Canada to do something.
I absolutely love this car.
Damn this is like a video game we all dreamt of when we were kids. Well done Hyundai!
I wish my Veloster N could have a baby with this and I could keep the result
13:18 Isn't that an electronic parking brake indicator on the left side of the monitor?
The Ioniq 5 N is a beast
My issue from experiences this past winter pushing the 5 cars out of snow. The Iconiq is too low to the ground for winter driving. Getting hung up on the underside smooth panels
4:27 Yes Hyundai doesn't have a V12 but they do have a 429hp 5.0L V8 from their Genesis R spec they could have sampled from.
I think the genesis gv60 performance or whatever has the sound and shifting option too from a review i watched. might only be available in certain markets but i think that one sounded like the v6 tt they have iirc
The best think it have is the ice feel 🔥🔥
The kinda best EV right now
Hyundai Nailed it
Car of the year !
This seems way cooler and practical then the tesLa
Practical, maybe not (has less range). Cooler? 💯%
@@TheReal_JG has a LOT less range! Like 30% less! No good for long trips so the practicality is nil.
@@GuiGabois5N recharge is 50% faster , there is no time gap on 1000km trips between this and the Y Performance. I bet you never claimed the Model Y Performance is not made for trips.
Even it would be right because the comfort in the 5N is far better. 5N is also more silent on the highway. Troll on
@MotionBerlinR Yeah, 1000km road trips I do every day LOL.
@@GuiGabois First you complain about the I5N's insufficient range and when it is explained to you that it has the same cruising speed as a Tesla Model Y even over long distances, then long distances no longer play a role. You're really funny 🤣🤣🤣.
Seen it lap the nurburgring and I think it's the first car that can go for 2 maybe 3 laps balls to the wall and if you don't have porsches around it might actually be the fastest thing on track
lol It gets beat by a civic.
@@mattyoz0 Don't mix manufacturer and sport auto laptimes.
@mattyoz0 No it doesn't, not stock. The modified FL5 did 7.44 the the stock I5N did 7.45.
@@CTF33 lol. slow af.
@mattyoz0 Yes your right, the stock type R is slow AF that's why honda used a modified car to set the fake stock record.
I'm a little disappointed there's no simulated smoke from the tires during burnouts... or did you guys just miss a setting someplace?
If I wasn’t going on 54 years old I would totally be on board with this “Gran Turismo” version of this car.
What does age have anything to do with fun cars?
@@JohnLee-db9zt that’s a better question for my wife. Something something act your age.
I definitely watched this video with a smile on my face. It was like i was sitting on that passenger seat.
Charging stations are about $1000-1500 here to have installed. Ain't cheap, but it's not rich person stuff. Def essential for most people outside of metro areas to function normally.
probably just needs a new sets of tyres after a couple of track races, whereas a performance I4, V6 requires an overhaul of the complete drivetrain
You wont loss 50% in the winter, 10-20% range loss from temperature, 10-20% loss from climate, 10% loss if you put on snow tires (2 can be avoided). Also your GFI outlet is tripping from the charger.
ngl, those sounds are pretty fun
