I bought mine two weeks ago and love it! Imust have watched very video on it twice, then decided to buy one. I still go out to the garage every night to make sure it's not a dream.
Had mine for a month now, already have 2000km on it (1250 miles) and my daily commute to work is like 5km round trip. I went out to drive it for 2h almost daily the first two weeks and I still go out to get take-out and ride for over an hour. I can't get enough of it.
@@Highlander1432 My building has lvl2 chargers so I usually charge overnight. Charges the same rate as the regular Ioniq 5 but with a slightly bigger battery. The DC charging I've done was about 20 minutes from 40-80% but that was at around 150kwh charging speed. The car can do up to 350kwh but we don't have such fast chargers in most places. It's still among the fastest charging EVs out there.
@@Highlander1432 ioniq 6n reported 0-100 in 3.1 secs. VERY very unlikely it will be “a lot” cheaper. Also, ioniq 6 is same price as 5 currently(in australia), why would it be cheaper
I’m an i30N owner and I’ve never liked EVs. But this is the first and only EV I’d actually consider if I was in the market for a brand new do it all car around that price range
My 5N arrived on 10th September. Fab. This is my 3rd EV. Replaced the launch P45 Ioniq 5 version. Thought your review very fair Tim. I think the range is fine - the excellent charging speed sorts out any waiting. Fun & hilarious best sums up the N, as you say. Keep up the good reviews.
For Some reason, I really don't believe that Hyundai will do anything for the Ioniq 6, that will be of the same level or even greater than the N5. Remember this post, and see if my intuition comes to pass. Can't quite explain why I feel this way but, Mark my words..
For 650hp and ten quintillion torque then its price is more than fair. Plus its a practical hatch with a 5 year warranty and all the low running costs of electric(except tyres lol)
Wow what a bargain! 650bhp in a practical package 😮 Not only fast, but well calibrated and capable of keeping all of those rampant e-horses in check 🐴 The fun stuff is just a cherry on 🍒 Let’s see what the N division do next 😮 한국어로 뭔가

As Tim requested at the very end of the video "Oh my God it's really good fun" in Korean: "하느님 맙소사/Haneunim mapsosa (Oh my God) 정말 재밌다/Jeongmal Jaemitda (It's really good fun)" 😛
Speed limit warning has a buffer you can adjust, in Germany it's 10 km/h. And then it also doesn't beep, it's only blinking in the display. So I don't bother and don't need to turn it off with a custom button (EV6 GT Germany)
the cool idea of yours is one I also had and what would frustrate me about owning this car is it got so close to the idea but failed to take that last. step and fully implement it. Sound packs recorded in binaural from various classic cars, and exact torque curve reproductions. It would be amazing. Lock it down to a corolla simulation when handing the keys to your kid. Premium OTA purchases for hagerty classic cars.
How was the driving position feel wise? I like to sit low to feel the centre of gravity/weight of the car but this looks like the seats quite high? How does it feel?
The "gimmicks" are the only reason I would buy this car. Otherwise it's just another electric car and not at all interesting to me. Well done, Hyundai!
Think youre right Tim to think of performance EV range in performance car range BUT if my ICE car needs filling after a fun drive it takes a few minutes. No matter how wonderfully quick an EV can charge if you can't use a powerful charger then it's fun over.
Funny how heavy cars have now become normalised because it suits legislation. I vividly recall the likes of Mercedes being vilified in the 90s for building cars of the same mass. Now we have family cars of the same weight and the roads, oddly enough, will struggle. Good vid, lovely scenery, good production. As for the car, meh. Sad fact though, this is the same comment I’ve posted in two vids this evening. EVs weighing 2.2 tonnes cannot be the future, not if we want our roads to remain in one piece… A big Merc, or a Cayenne per your example is still relatively rare. But this EV ‘evolution’ is sending us off in utterly the wrong direction.
Too clever by far (not you, the car) for its own good. I'm so glad you didn't crash when you were tempted to fiddle even more with the plethora of driver settings. It probably is good value for money especially when compared to its European equivalent, model suggestions here please. Finally, Tim has managed to escape the "circa £45k value for money car" millstone and found a "circa £65k possibly good value for money car" one.
The set-up is the equivalent of doing race set-up in a garage, spanners and computer connected, but instead on your 'inbuilt laptop" on the dash. Once set, you have your favourite two set-ups available at the press of one the steering wheel. Perfect if you ask me... PS: switching off speed limit warning is one long press on the steering wheel mute button.
I’d rather have the Mach-e GT for that price (or wait for the Rally). The design of the Ioniq 5 has always reminded me of the Austin Maestro and you don’t realise until you see it in real life but it’s an absolute heffa.
That last comment would be credible if you didn't prefere it to a Mach-e which is a bit taller and longer ;). From the comments of laymen, most people don't realise its size even standing next to it, suprised on how roomy it is inside. It's just car folks looking too much at pics thinking it's a 205 that think its big irl.
I’ve driven the Mach-e and 5N. Ford couldn’t make a sporty EV if its life depended on it. At least drive the 5N before you decide to waste your money on a clunker like the Mach-e.
Interestingly, only .2 of a second quicker than the EX30 (*claimed). Weight could be a factor, but I guess the extra 200 horse is only just compensating. Not sure I like this interior, and since rhe wife has just bought herself the Volvo, I guess thats settled! 😄
It goes like £65,000, but to me, it looks like it has a £25,000 interior, my Civic Hybrid is far superior inside. At the end of the day, the way it drives is what makes it worth the money.
£65k will buy you a brand new BMW M340d X Drive Touring that you can 'recharge' with nearly 600 miles of range in less than 2 minutes and has more power/torque and pull than you will ever need on the road. I'll take that thanks.

It's just so unbelievably expensive I feel.. Compared to say a Fiesta ST or just ST-line which is on it's last generation. Soon enough it will be hugely expensive EVs for the big boys, and nothing for the plebs (myself included)
Most EV's will do 0-60 in 7 Seconds or less. Therefore any small car with an EV motor will feel faster than Fiesta ST due to the instant torque. Hell even my little MG EV4 SE (that's the entry model) felt nippy. A Tesla Model 3 Performance second hand would be the same new and dwarf anything. Renault are doing the 5 again ... and while the launch models will be faster than the 80's originals, they will probably end up doing a GT (Turbo?) model. Don't worry about EV's not being fun or accessible.
it is overweight, overpriced, electric and has the shape of a brick house; this, in theory should replace the i30N but cost 2x...so, thanks but no thx.
@@Highlander1432ooh, are you living on the nurburgring?(also, 300 hp hatchbacks are faster and so, that time is useless) if yes, then yeah, sub 8 min of who gives and f & etc; in reality, it is heavy, it is big and it is the antithesis of what a real driver's car should be on a backroad or a mountain pass or even on the autobahn.

I presume you have to have a colourful jacket to drive one?
You should check out the Volvo EX30 twin motor performance. we love ours! £40k but an absolute rocket (3.4 to 60mph).
Literally every performance EV is fast in a straight line. The trick is having a 2+ ton EV handle through the corners like a nimble ICE sports car.
