#hyundai #ioniq5n #ev - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I will not test drive this one, because if I do, I will be screwed and my wife will hate me. *already checking out the prices in Europe"
Over a decade ago my wife woke up furious. She thought I had taken all of our savings and went and bought a Saturn Aura roadster! I got out of it and said "I LOVE THIS CAR!" Just a dream.
What i noticed in the 1,5 hours video is how quiet the car is in the inside. Minimal wind noises, no rattling, quietness. Wow.
이제 나이를 먹어서 조용한게 좋네요 ㅋㅋㅋ ㅠ

I’m in my twenties and already like evs more because of their quietness and non existent vibrations while driving. It’s a pleasure.
Yes, this is the I5N review I was waiting for!
Awesome car with real racetrack engineering at an affordable price (compared to other racetrack optimized cars with this amount of power). Looking forward for the Ioniq 6N as well! Should be even better due to the shape and stance.
I think this is Hyundais attempt at going against the petrolheads typical saying - "EV's have no soul". The fake noise stuff may tickle their ears and give them a sense of engagement with the paddle shifts.
Now THIS was the I5N video i was waiting for
Love the Ioniq 5 and now N? Wonder how the charging experience would it be
I absolutely LOVE that not only did they do the fake engine noise and simulated shifts but that they did it so well it apparently perfectly mimics an ICE powertrain. EV silence when you want it, fun ICE noises when not. When even the likes of Porsche and BMW, among others, pump in oodles of fake engine noise in their cars anyway, I say why not?! If it helps ICE drivers transition to EV, it’s not a bad thing at all.
Have owned many performance cars and also owned Model 3 Performance for 4 years
The best thing about the combustion sounds and shifting is that you can turn them off and leave them off.
Kyle I hope you plan on getting an 5N either for long term testing or as a perma buy for channel content 🔥
"This is LEGIT!"👍
I got my Ioniq5N in blue a few days ago and it's a learning curve because they have so many options, but the car is so much fun to drive.
Just brought mine home tonight! Learning the menus. Whew Hoo!
Wow congrats 👏 🙌
im curious about EV6 GT Refresh though... I want kia to match this without the N-shift.. just with better range, bigger battery, better suspension and driving experience like the N then I'm sold to trade in my regular EV6
Mrpog123, great ideas for the EV6 update. However, if it gets all that, it still won’t have the track suspension to help it turn or the brakes to help it stop, or finally, the dedicated tech on battery conditioning for complete hoonigan. This is what the N is all about. Range is the last concern. 😂. You’re in good hands with the EV6 though. Great car.
Have been waiting for your review of the extra ‘spicy’ Ioniq 5N. Your next car 👍🏻
Imagine track days where everyone decides to use the shift mode and then compare those lap times. It adds difficulty which adds fun. It's the same reason people drive manuals even though modern automatics are faster, just more fun. Now imagine Race Series where all cars are required to use standardized shift mode tuning. That's the future of electric car racing where driver's ability is highlighted. Honestly, shifting an EV may seem stupid but isn't driving around in a circle kind of stupid?
Yeah, I was a little disappointed that he was so dismissive of it. I suppose he’s not a big ICE guy, so I can see that it might not interest him too much, but it seems like a helluva lot of fun to me
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 this car was made for the enthusiasts that said Evs are soulless boring vehicles. I’m not a fan of this guy and listen to his dumb comments and completely dismissing the best most controversial aspect of this car. The fake engine sounds combined with the ability to make it feel like an internal combustion engine with an 8 speed DCT on a real race track!!!! . I don’t know who he is kidding but he was having more fun with the fake engine noise in manual mode
I don't like white cars normally but that white with the Black and Red on the bottom looks good.
God that looks like so much friggin fun! Would have been nice if The Ioniq Guy got an invite. Great vid, Kyle!
I love my model Y but this thing looks so much cooler!
I can't believe this is a Hyundai. Design is subjective but it is one of the best looking cars I've seen in years. This is the car VW should have, and probably wished they had, designed as the EV version of the Golf R. What will happen to the N division now that Biermann is retired/gone?
I like the N Shift feature. Driving EVs is pretty boring from an enthusiast perspective. The acceleration is a novelty at first then I get bored.
For someone like me, who is coming from a manual V8 Camaro, this would be a nice feature whenever im forced to go EV in the future.
Same
Definitely have been looking forward to this video.
I.WANT.THIS!
Is this your favorite performance ev below 80k?
one reviewer said this is better than the most expensive taycan. i believed him
I'd say it's the best under 70k. The model 3 and y performance aren't actually performance cars they just get a software upgrade and new rims.
Great video. I can’t believe this car will be mass market produced for everyone. That fact alone should make people appreciate what EV’s have accomplished in pushing driving forward. I love Connor and think he is brilliant with the technical aspects or automotive engineering but I have always suspected his driving skills! The look of sheer terror on the faces of his friends while he is driving is a hoot. I would love to see what driving scenes were left on the cutting room floor.
"The closest thing you can get to driving a video game in real life" is such a 2024 statement I love it!
What i learned in this video is that the front collision warning in the Ioniq 5 works really well!
Love love love the E shift they worked into this car. Best part is that you can turn it off and on so it can be a quiet EV when you want also.
Ioniq 5N is the refreshed version just in the N version.
As seen with the rear wiper, the new CCOS system, bigger battery etc.
All this will soon or later come down to the normal Ioniq 5 with the new model year refresh.
Kyle, this video rocks thanks for the review, very impressed with the 2024 Ionic 5 N!
Yay for chapters!! Thanks Kyle! (Although I’ll watch it all lol)
Love seeing more EV options, especially exciting ones that do not cost six figures to buy.
When you look back to 2015 and think about the EV options available versus now. The pace of both EV tech and EV infrastructure is moving fast. All the negative media reports on EVs is not going to age well. I still believe we could see 65% of all new vehicle sales in 2030 for the US be EVs. Many of the concerns and expectations people have now are likely going to be met by 2030.
Nice job Kyle and team. Great job Hyundai group.
First off another great video bro. This is by far becoming one of my favorite channels for long form, in-depth car reviews and testing, especially for EVS. That is impressive. Very impressive and in that price range starting out at $45,000 and going all the way up to just over $66,000. That is impressive for what they can get in between that price range. I look forward to if you can get one to do a range test. I really look forward to it. Keep up the great work. Have a good one and I'll catch you on the next one.
What a beast!
I love it! Looks awesome. I know you don’t like the simulated dct noises and experience but i would love to use it. Great review and looking forward when you have it back in co
One of the best review about this magic Hyundai Ionia 5 N. Thank you for the complete review, including the technical part with the Hyundai presentation and interview. Tried to access the pres but can't download it for a more in depth review. Ordered mine in January in Europe and now waiting for it... The more I look the reviews, and especially your's, the more I'm in the hurry for getting it.
I will extensively use and test the car but it reminds me the behavior of my previous Mitsubishi Evo 9, but with more fun, more power and less CO2 emission... and a more quiet long trip on highway!
Here come the dealer markups
ICE enthusiast and really enjoy my Tesla to the point I won’t miss ICE much if it goes away. But I also have a 6 speed manual car. There would be times I would use the fake dual clutch on a backroad that I might use it. It becomes a plus size Golf R.
Hyundai N division really knows how enthusiasts cars are made properly even if EVs , 😊❤❤
한국에서 영상을 보고 있습니다.
서킷에서는 무서운 괴물이지만 서킷을 나와 집으로 돌아가면 아이오닉5N은 우리 가족들에게 안전하고 편안하고 조용한 패밀리카가 됩니다.
캠핑도 가고 여행도 가고... V2L 기능으로 전기도 마음껏 사용할수도 있습니다.
영상 잘 보았습니다~😊
I’d want the exterior sound to have Haunted House mode with screaming ghouls and banshees as you drive up at night.
I think Kyle provided a perfect tag line for this channel..."Long and Nerdy"
LOVE IT!
Awesome review thank you.
Fabulous video. My wife's plain old 2024 Limited AWD may "go through some stuff" after watching this...
Loved the review, looking forward to the 70mph range test!
Love the Ioniq N, just hope they release an N line version I can afford.
Bet you’ll find them for 40k in ~2 years if they follow the depreciation of current performance EV’s. Not cheap cheap, but reasonable.
@@brycemarkel9045At least since this has such good pricing to start with I don't think depreciation will be *too* hard. Think of it like the MG4 XPower, at the starting price of that car I highly doubt it will depreciate hard. But $45-50k in 2 years is probably likely.
The electric Hyundais have been holding up fairly well on value, if you bought a Hyundai Ioniq 7 years ago for 33k€ and drove it 150-200k kilometers you'd still get 16.5k€ for it today.
Awesome review! You mentioned 68% should still provide max power. At what point did you feel horsepower start to diminish?
I too thought the simulated sound and shifting was dumb when it was announced, but after watching Jason Camissa have so much fun with it I've decided I really want it in my performance EV and I hope Hyundai expands on it.
It would be so cool to be able to pick from several different engines with different transmission characteristics.
High revving small engine with short gears, V8, V10, V12 - you could simulate many different engines and transmissions and I think that would be really fun.
Kyle great video love the indeep look in the Ioniq 5N 😊
I've never been a suv or hot hatch guy for my entire life but this may be my next car.
NGB: works10s and cools 10s. So you can use NGB every 20s under 80degreeC of rear motor temperature?
As a EV6GT Owner and Kona N as well I have been waiting for this vehicle for over a year. I waited a few extra days for your take Kyle because you talk about the things I am interested in and know what you are talking about not only with Ev's but performance as well. Even if you have an opinion, I believe you are unbiased and deliver it the way I feel it should be. Thank you! I just need to wait until the intro 5.49% for 60 months comes down below 1.9% for 72 to be able to afford the payment. The big question will I trade the Kona N and keep one ICE or trade?
Who is the target market for this car? ME. This is BRILLIANT. practical enough to ditch the volvo, efficient enough to ditch the mirai. i think the engine sound is so stupid its funny and I just hope it'll cream a mach e GT
Cheers mate
Extra welds and bonds would be nice for the regular street car..
Thats a damn good looking car. And the simulation ICE driving looks fun as hell! Car seems very playfull and seriously fast. Not just a "GT" package BS.
Is that presentation available anywhere? I ended up getting one, and would love to see it all!
Another great video, and an amazing car. I partially disagree with you about the boost button though. Porsche did a similar thing with the Attack Mode button, and F1 has DRS, so it feels race car like to me. It would be nice to have the option though. Sometimes I’d rather not think about it and just derate me as needed like you said, but I feel like with control of it, you could improve your lap times on a track, and performance on roads you know, like you did on the uphill run into the corkscrew at Laguna.
I agree with you. If you have a tuned turbo car, you usually run different tunes and have one that is "kill mode" which has all of the boost when you're running race gas or e85.
Have been waiting for this video! Thanks for all that you do.
I had been saving up for this car but they stripped the options available for the 5N in comparison to all other continents - no vision roof option or HUD in the USA. At this price it would have to be a daily driver for me and it's a BIG miss by Hyundai to not include what other countries have.
I agree with you, Hyundai made the mistake of not offering the vision roof and HUD option in the US.
And despite my gripes… I drove 90-minutes to test drive one in Abyss Black and…. Drove it home this weekend. Kyle is spot on - legit performance. And a fun daily commute too. 😅
Still wish it had HUD and a glass roof for the price. I love the way you can close or open the Hyundai vision roof vs all the aftermarket Tesla junk.
We have 350kw chargers nearby and our EV9 hits the 10-80% targets regularly so I look forward to doing the same with this one. We also have at home chargers and my office lot (just a 5-mile commute) offers free charging (for now).
Great video Kyle, thanks! Also, sorry those dudes in the garage while you were giving your interview were so rude, that wasn't cool. Hope you let them know that was poor form.
dual permanent magnet motor?
Does it not have iccu problem like the regular ioniq 5?. Hyundai is unable to fix the iccu problem in the regular ioniq 5.
Always interesting to hear different opinions on the same car. Matt LOVES that car so much he might cancel is Macan order and get this instead. The shifting sold him on it.
Kyle, help me find N mode custom 2. I can set it up in menu, but I can’t get to it using the steering wheel short cut buttons. I do have my PhD in N menus after 2 weeks. Got my nerd on. Let’s Go!
Have you driven a CRV type R? If so, compare?
When are you going to test the Ioniq 5s and 6s RWD vs AWD on ECO range?
How does this compare to the Mach E Rally?
The thing is
They listened
And put that rear wiper
The Ioniq 5's virtual sound actually helps the driver when attempting to corner the track.
I think you're way off base with the artificial shifting. I would definitely use it. In fact, I dreamed this up years before Hyundai did it. I also wish they'd do a simulated stick shift with simulated clutch. I want electric, but I want the fun and sound of shifting. There's definitely a big market for this.
Exactly, it's all about options. Hyundai basically built a car with multiple personalities. Giving the driver the choice to choose which one they want is absolute genius....
Well done Kyle! Love seeing you let'r rip! Great driving!
So how does it compare to the new Model 3 Performance is what I would like to know.
I’m envious when I was 11 to 14 I lived on fort Ord which is next-door to Laguna Seca and we used to drive out to Laguna Seca to watch the races. I’d love to be back in that.
Once Elon ruins the Tesla brand and I sell my model Y performance an ioniq five N will be the next thing I look at
Such a great looking car. I've decided I'm not a fan of the regular IONIQ 5 design in the most common colour after seeing a number of times on the road. But this colour looks awesome.
Kyle really likes the word "spicy"
The white looks so good. Best color in my opinion
What tires are on this car?
Now if they will make a little hot hatch N. I want a little car.
I'd like to see a later version made as a 2 door with a little shorter wheelbase (trying not to sacrifice battery), maybe even with a second row delete. That will help lighten it up and make it even more nimble.
Makes me really want the Rivian R3X even more now
Love the noise, I had a Challenger R/T 5.7 with custom 3 inch cat back exhaust but now I drive a Model 3. I miss the noise, I would love to be able to down load different engine sounds. Maybe I want to sound like a Ford 302 on the way to work and on the way home sound like a HellCat Dodge. Kinda like ring tones for a phone. Seriously if your able to get a car in Colorado can you do a canyon run in full sound please:) Full Dolby sound :)
This vs R3X should hopefully be very competitive with each other. Please reach out and have Rivian benchmark this for the X
The only reviewer who isn't afraid to say how silly the artificial gear shifting and engine noises are.
My Lightning is in the shop and the loaner car often sounds a bit how this car did when you were trying out N shift mode. 😂 Couldn’t agree more with your take on these features, they’re gimmicky and take away from the experience I choose an EV for. Then again I’d 100% show that feature to my buddies… so maybe they’re on to something. Would love to have one of these in my driveway someday.
this will be built an sold in rhd in my country, let's hope the price is not that far apart.
Why aren’t you shifting Kyle?
That white looks nice love it. :)
The ICE simulation is well done and brings up the point of how superior EV drivetrains are. Have a mode that simulate any petrol heads favorite ICE, have fun using, go to EV sport mode and feel the superior performance. You are now converted to EV enthusiast. Happened to me when I replaced my RS6 performance with a Tesla Plaid.....
the "fake" noise is nice for the video. we get a feel for what's going on with the power.
A Koren GTI I want one badly
As you said, it’s the best of both worlds. Daily commuter and hot hatch. Same with the noise. You can turn it all off. But consider this: This a physical car that aimed at the generation that grew up with Gran Turisimo and Forsa. Hmmmmmmm
Would be cool if it had a manual handbrake so fun to do handbrake turns in the Kona N
Boost mode may have been implemented over "full throttle" since giving you everything the battery has could prematurely shorten its longevity (~7 years). This is why EV batteries take so long to charge - the technology is there to charge it quicker but the slower the charge rate the longer it will last. Eventually Lithium-Ion batteries will improve or be replaced with better technology.
I understand why someone wouldn't want to buy a tesla for a variety of reasons. But it's hard for me to consider this seriously when the model 3 performance exists in the states for almost 20k less than this if you qualify for the tax credit. I know this is tuned much more for track driving than the model 3. But for street driving... I dont know. Is it 20k better? My pocketbook feels very strongly one way about this lol. I'm curious to see what you think of the refresh! Maybe a track day with both cars? That'd be a fun video.
I'd love to see this go head to head on a track with the new Tesla Model 3 Performance (as well as the old Model 3 Performance)
(One lap channel revival?)
They should put the rear motor on a RWD only variant of the platform, it would be fun
Would be far too much weight to tow around without 600hp .
It’s interesting, Sofyan from Redline Reviews said the exact opposite from you about the imitation engine noise and paddle shifting.
I like that Kyle didn't call this a hot hatch in every other sentence like Sofyan did.
just leased Ioniq 5 limited 7250 down AWD cyber gray. 24 months , 12k mile lease . No payments after the 7250 down. Turn it in april 2026 :) I also got free 2 years electrify america and have a 350kw charger less than 8 miles away from my house. I will be driving this in sport most of the time :) level 0 regen.
Will be turning it in though, as I am g oing to see what tesla or the future of this car. the 2025 will be significantly improved on the standard car and N. The N IMO , EPA millage is too low..
anyway loving the HDA 2 and AUTO Lane change!
What happened to the old Leaf you bought? I want to see more about used EVs. New stuff is cool, but performance vehicles arent close to what most people can afford.
Who knew all we needed was some piped in sound and some pretend shifting to make EVs fun? I am fairly ICE enthusiast will buy in. Where else can you get 600 hp, 0-60 under 3.5, a daily driver, and excellent revving sounds.
I think Kyle is the only car journalist who doesn't like the N shift lol, but I guess he's only been driving EVs for years now so that makes sense.
I think the boost is for safety too… It’s already has too much power for normal road.
