Every EV manufacturer should include a BNBB (Bjorn Nyland Banana Box) rating on their website. Liters doesn't tell a lot unless your transporting water bottles :).
I really like that it's possible to slide the rear seats, allowing you to choose between passenger and cargo space. When I tested the ID.4, I thought what a waste that you can't slide the bench forward. Leg room is nice, but too much doesn't add any comfort. It just costs you cargo space.
So many videos on TH-cam talking about the platform design and all the space... this is the only 2nd video I've seen that even shows the seats folded down. This is the most useful video I've seen on this car so far. Also, I always watch all these videos on other EVs and they show small compartments under the boot (trunk) and boast how useful that is for storing your charging cables, etc. and I'm always thinking how useless that would be to have to unpack your car on a roadtrip to get to a small compartment to use a charger that requires a cable or an adapter and just as I was thinking it you said it - much better to have things like this and maybe a first aid kit, warning triangles where required, etc. in the small frunk if you can, away from all your luggage or groceries.
They've been overwhelmed by demand for the car. They already upped the planned froduction for 2021 from 70k to 90k, and later on decided to cut back capacity for fossil cars and focus more on EVs. But they really should have anticipated this and planned for 500k vehicles per year... I'm sure the Kia EV6 will also be a success, as well as the upcoming models like the Ioniq 6 and 7, so maybe they should build capacity to make >2 million e-GMP cars per year. That should drive costs down as well.
@@GoofyChristoffer if you don't need the AWD the RWD version is pretty compelling with its good range, cheaper price and increased cargo space. Very impressive.
Although Bjørn is doing an excellent job with the banana boxes, love those videos, he should include the max payload… Enyaq 585 Liter … 10/25 Boxes … 601-619kg payload ID.4 543 Liter … 9/25 Boxes … 589-611kg payload Ionic 5 527 Liter … 11/25 Boxes … 520-540kg payload
The 2 "What-the-heck-is-these-things" is towing hooks. there are small rectangular plastic covers in the front and rear bumper. If you need to get towed you attatch them to the chassi under the bumper.
well hopefully not with any added length - but a squared-off rear would be sweet (MPV style - touran/sharan/zafira etc) - and room for 3rd row for larger families
if you order the car without the Bose sound system, you'll have a flat area under the boot cover. Because what you see at 1:30 is actually the subwoofer. Makes sense if you want to maximize space and save a few hundred bucks.
Thank you Bjorn for doing this test properly by optimising the position of the rear seat. So many other reviews have failed to take this into account when looking at the cargo space. Even though I’ll have to cancel my preorder of the Ioniq 5 with the pricing and availability here in Australia not making sense when compared to the Model 3, it is nice to see that the majority of what I had hoped of this car when I put down my money early this year has turned out positively. Looking forward to more videos.
So, I requested a test drive at my local Hyundai dealership in the UK online yesterday. I received an email back asking after the financial side of things and saying that they’d call me this morning before I came down. 25 mins before the test drive I call them and it turns out they don’t even have the vehicle to test. I don’t care how good your vehicle is, if you can’t get the customer care side of things right you aren’t getting my money.
And the response back from the dealer: “As I mentioned on the phone to you, it was my manager who responded last night not myself. We have still taken a number of orders with out a demo model car. As I explained on the phone, if you do not wish to order one until the car onsite that’s fine. Delivery time is 20 weeks currently.” Cheeky bugger. How about “As explained on the phone, I’ll pass back this feedback to my manager who sent the email and when we get a demonstrator you’ll be first to know”
The RWD has more room in the under-floor. The "big box" is absent. I upgraded my North-American RWD 26L frunk to the euro/asian 54L frunk. Makes quite a difference in usability.
A really cool car! Would have gotten this instead of the Tesla Model X, but I really dislike the infotainment system in it… and the lack of a good charging network (for now). The infotainment system is better than what the VW group has managed to come up with at least though…
Bjørn: You should do a min/max count on the trunk space. Would be interesting to see how much you can pack in there with the load floor and let's say five adults.
Enyaq fast charges at 50kw unless you pay extra. This was the main reason I didn't get an enyaq and got a 2nd hand Model X. I looked at the price the Enyaq I wanted was (£8000 of options) , then realised I could get a 3 year old 2nd hand Model X for cheaper of the spec I wanted.
It looks like the boxes were a 'perfect match' for this car...not many cubic centimeters left. Maybe the Enyaq had more leftover space when the boxes were installed.
Hey cool, yes. By the way....Arctic. Now I know, whats the Frunk is for. You can take your frozen things in there in winter times, when you went shopping. Great Point, thanks ;-)
@@we73 It’s just referring to the usual pizza Bjorn purchase every time he reach Arctic circle, i do appreciate indeed the cargo space of ioniq5 among other things: I think is a truly remarkable EV
It might just fit. At least in terms of volume it should, since a Banana box contains 50 litres and the RWD frunk is 57 litres (although length vs width of the frunk could be a problem).
@@JohnnyZenith performance isn't what i'm looking for. I don't understand the obsession with fast SUV's. If i wanted a fun car, it would be a small convertible 2 -seater.

the big box in the trunk is not the motor, it is a big ass subwoofer

Could you please do the stroller and child seat tests with the Ioniq 5?
Epic BananaBox Test with an outstanding car! Thanks for the upload!
They're (usually) putting struts in the front if there are some kind of storage space there.
At least you can stow your cables elsewhere than under the trunk. Dayum that many boxes ey? Ioniq 5 like a boss!
