Lots of haters on this thread. This car looks absolutely amazing and will likely occupy a special place in car history. Hyundai is killing it!
Internet car enthusiasts hate the fact the world keeps evolving and they want to stay in their safe place where they can drag their knuckles in peace forever.
Just turn off the fake engine sound if you don’t want to hear it. By using the gear shift, you can recognize braking timing and acceleration timing more easily than normal electric vehicles when cornering on the track. It has literally entry supercar level of agility with its one fourth price. It just not agile on the straight road for drag race but also on the track. Even so, haters just hate it 😊
@@scott8919 Spot on! Usually, the haters also are experts in business strategy, always representing CEO-material for every major car manufacturer. 🤣
I dlon't mind the engine sound but then again my daily driver is my 1.4 diesel Yaris that sounds like a tractor. Actually shame Hyundai don't let you select that for shitz and gigglez.
Very clever tech and it looks like great fun.
My one thought though is that hot hatches through time have always been fairly petite, some of the best have been the smallest that you can fling about on a narrow twisty road and not worry about the wing mirrors getting knocked off. Matt did not mention the size of the car but it made those amazingly big 21 inch wheels with 275 ( !!!! ) tyres look normal sized, so it must be pretty wide.
£65 000 cost as well made me wince.
Imagine how good an Ioniq 1 hot hatch would be ! Lot smaller, perhaps 320-350bhp and "only" 225 18 inch wheels on it. Bit like an EV Yaris GR. Maybe Toyota are watching.
A special place in car history 😂😂😂
Plenty of people whinging in the comments here about the engine noise (that you can turn off), but pay attention to how good Matt says this car is dynamically…very impressive.
Saying its the best of all the hairdryers when they are all crap isn't saying much at all is it. He literally never smiled when driving it and that tells the real story!
@@adamf8335I’ve seen plenty other reviewers smiling and laughing with joy driving the 5N. Don’t be an ignoramus judging a car by smiles from reviewers. I’ve seen plenty reviews of highly rated ICE sports cars where the reviewers don’t crack a single smile. Btw 9:20 he sure is smiling and laughing here. He said this call is “so good, fantastic, lovely, such good fun” throughout the review. 11:52 he literally said this is the best EV on sale for fun driving, better than the Porsche Tycan. Shows you didn’t even watch the video. What a douche.
Dynamically this car is a weight pig!
The simulated gears is really the stand out thing that makes all the difference. Definitely the most driver focused EV there’s been so far
Together with Game Boy-quality fake engine noises, the biggest pile of BS ever put in an EV.
@bulversteher well, better than bell rings or some kinds of song
@@bulversteherSays the numb nut who’s never driven the EV and will never be able to afford one. 😂
Driver-focused? I'd say wanting to be an ICE car when it grows up.
@@rlsedition don’t get me wrong I’m normally an EV hater, and I own an i30N. I still wouldn’t own one of these, but I’m just saying this is the best EV that’s come out as yet. There’s going to be electric ’sports cars’ coming out that don’t have any of these features, at least this encourages you to interact with the car in some way.
I still think that Hybrids should be the long term future for the best of both worlds, instead of purely electric. And keep exploring things like synthetic fuels and hydrogen etc.
Absolutely love the noise.
Got to love the N brand, Owned the i30N fastback fo 3 years and currently have the Kona N for over a year. Brill cars and do destroy the bank balance. £65k is a lot of money but not for this type of car.
You can turn off the sound by making it louder or quieter, just like controlling the sound on your smartphone. You can also turn off only the external speaker and only the internal speaker
EVs ARE rolling smart phones.
How are we supposed to listen to the review?
this is a fab development - love cars that arent trying to be too serious, and its interesting to see this attitude bleed into EVs.
Finally an EV that I actually like. Keep the innovation coming
You mean an EV that tries so hard to emulate an ICE car.
@@rlsedition
Yes.
An EV that has actually understood the concept of fun, instead of just being another ruthlessly practical and boring spreadsheet machine, like the rest of the EVs on the market.
@@ShadowFalcon If Evs are to attract car enthusiasts, they need to do it on their own merits, not as cars emulating ICE machines. Problem is, electric motors have zero personality. Zero.
@@rlsedition
I disagree.
EVs defining characteristic is flexibility, meaning that if EVs are to attract car enthusiasts, then arguably they should do it, by using their built in flexibility, to let the car enthusiasts set it up as they want, including allowing for a simulated ICE powerband, and gearbox.
@@ShadowFalcon What "flexibility"? You mean the way they can use software to create fake noises/reactions? Sure, and my Timex watch is just like a Rolex. EVs defining characteristics are 1) big torque from zero RPMs and 2) heavy vehicles resulting from the inefficient battery packs.
Well the fake engine sound comments are silly, because you can just turn it off
As apposed to not being able to turn it off. It's there to help deal with the transition. Those born today won't want this feature
@@davidknell9676 I'm 54. The awful noise made me abandon the video half way through.
simply amazing. This is my next car.
The haters only hate because they can't cope with change.
If it's different and it challenges their reality, they'll do all they can to spread their bitter views.
I really, really want this car. Been complaining for years that EVs should be able to emulate a gearbox and engine for a more engaging drive. Hyundai have read my mind, this is EXACTLY what I want!
The best Video Review presented by the best Editor at Large of a Weekly Car Magazine 😊
Fantastic idea, I want to test drive one. EV with character.
Yep definitely saving up to buy me one of these! 🤩
Great fun - I have my deposit placed to replace an existing Ioniq 5 Project 45 - a very nice car in its own right. Thanks for the review
This car looks very fun!
Hyundai is killing it during the last years
That’s a cool EV and it’s hard for me to say it haha! Love it! Can’t wait to drive and review one myself hopefully early next year ❤
Best bit is they have got rid of all the bad bits of design from the cooking version, i.e. the slashes and lines in the skirts, front/rear valances and the wheel arches. Brilliant car. I want one.
People complain about simulated sounds and simulated transmission. You can turn both off and have a conventional EV experience. What's the problem?😂😂
I think the simulated sound is quite spot-on.
The haters are hating because their brand has been playing copycat off of Hyundai for yhe last 8 years. Especially those Honda & Toyota fangirls. When they should be thanking Hyundai for forcing them to step there brand up. Forcing them to quit making there vehicles look like a granny vehicle, for forcing them to offer better cabins with better materials, forcing them to step up there tech, forcing them to offer better features even in the lower trims. Hyundai has changed the game in this segment of vehicles, and those Honda and Toyota people should be thankful instead of hating
No hate comments
Thank you for the in-depth review and thank you Hyundai for having the courage and ambition to make this car and having the determination to start the N Brand. It is great Toyota, Hyundai/Kia, Renault (with the next 5) have the courage to push the envelope with their ICE and electric cars. Sure they will not appeal to all but good on you for trying.
Didnt know there was someone there in the back when driving on track lol
A hand came out was like what the heck 😂😂
This thing looks killer, but will absolutely SHRED tires.
Yeah I'm hoping there will be special tires for cars like this, but perhaps it's just physics
@@MilodeVries Heavy, inefficient batteries mean heavy cars and poor tire life.
@@rlsedition well I think it's also security aspects that we haven't figured out how to make light yet.
Which is why my quite tiny cr-z is still 1280kg. Cage constructions and air bags everywhere add up.
If BMW followed the path they initiated with the i3.. But perhaps carbon fiber is not the be all end all after all.
@@MilodeVries Your CR-Z is woefully unprotected in a crash, but most cars of that era were similar. Protection requires structure and structure adds weight.
@@rlseditionaren't you confusing my cr-z with a cr-x? Afaik 2010 era cars were already quite well protected in crashes, hence the obesity of 1280kg for practically a 2 seater
Started watching the video and was actually checking if I read it correctly that this is a review about an EV. Those gear shifts threw me off 🤣. But I have to admit, it's a brilliant concept and super car.
Please Hyundai I am in the US set up a way yo be able to reserve one now,I would be the first to do so,thanks.
Looks great as driver for Genesis, love the platform. Would love one for myself...
DRIFT- Where is Chris H when we need him LOL
First EV I would like to have, absolutely love it, even the Gran Turismo sound❤
2.2 tonne 😢will go through tyres like a f1 car
looks like youre having fun, sir
Be great if Hyundai made an electric i30N with the same driveability, tech and sound. I'd consider buying one of these, all reviews this far are highly positive.
So Matt, would you pick this or an RS3?
Wow impressed and I hate electric cars as a rule ! Audi RS3 and Impreza spec c sprint car owner and I am very tempted!
Perfect car ❤❤
It says a lot if a 2.2 tonne SUV is called the most fun EV.
The other manufacturers are really sleeping when it comes to fun/engaging EVs.
Doug Demuro called the EV9 a crossover, and now you’re calling this a SUV? Y’all gotta get your sizes correct.
Want to know what trainers you have?? Vans ???? I Like !!!
while the low center of gravity, low inertia chassis, low steering angle, wider track and wider tyres make it better and more responsive at track driving, it makes drifting ridiculously harder
Also the weight will probably eat the tyres super fast during drifting on a high grip surface
Can do the running around stuff, tow the jet boat and fun when I have the time, 3 cars in 1, ex bmw M guy doing a great job here
Just sat in it @ LA car show.... VERY nice. So much so, that I put myself on the "list". The lame sound can and should be turned off so that is a none issue. This guy seems like a very nice and likeable guy, but he needs to learn how to properly drive.
So I preface this by saying, I drive a 2019 BMW M4 Competition Package as my daily - I am not interested in Electric, sure it goes fast but they just are not Dynamic….. Well Hyundai - an unexpected and welcomed surprise - I will have a crack in one of these, what an interesting proposition!
Should have added a choice of different historic ICEs IMO.
There will probably be all kinds of different sounds eventually available over the air. Imagine it with the LFA sound or any V10!
Great work Hyundai. Time to sell my Type R ? 😜
I met one on the highway and this thing is a legit rocketship. But the artificial engine noise is absolute 🤮
Great car, Great driver and Commentary - but please NO Engine noise !! Bad reminder why ICE will soon be gone
It's definitely a fast road car but can it do real track time against a civic type r for example?
Even the Kia ev6 Gt beats Civic type r... On Nurburgring too..
It does sound a bit like Gran Turismo on the PlayStation 1 to be fair. I'm sure it's awesome though.
It really should be in non-CUV form. Crazy how you say you've not had more fun with an EV anywhere, but the engine noise and gear shifts aren't inherently EV experiences.
Fascinating car and I really look forward to the Ioniq 6 N, the only downside is the simulated engine noise and gear which is totally embarrassing.
Sounds like some of the new BMWs with ICE. 😁
Finally. An Ionic 5 with a small nuclear reactor to power it along 8-))...
Those chavs at the lights revving the nuts off their GTi are going to be in for a few shocks ;-))...
Even though no one officially tell us so, this car support the theory that KIA is indeed hierarchically below Hyundai, often used for beta testing and market research.
As korean, thats true.
It finally has a much needed rear wiper! The fake engine noise and gear changes not so much needed.
Why has it got a paddle shifter, it an EV? Great to see a car company do a hot hatch version of an EV, hopefully this will kick start the market to release more cars in the future, the price tag on the other hand is just to high. and the model 3 has almost the same performance?
Paddle shifter is used to control the strength of the regen, changing how much the car automatically slows down without applying power. It can be turned all the way off to make it coast very smoothly and a long way. The Model 3 Performance is more of a compact muscle...frog? It does not have the customization, torque vector ability, or feedback this will. This is built by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, the TM3P is just big power stuffed into an existing mainstream product.
I am a big BMW fan and even bigger M fan…. I don’t like electric cars and think they don’t make sense… for some reason I love this thing …. Will sell the family suv for one when I can
The future is here
The car seems to be very satisfying and well-sorted, dynamically speaking. Would that they could encourage people (including Autocar's intrepid tester) to forgo the fake engine noise and the fake gear shifts. They are irritating and even ridiculous.
Next revolutionary move is how to make those batteries lighter. Then we’ll have 1.8tones 600plus electric cars 😶 0-60 2 seconds at 40/50k.
EV’s the biggest scam ever, 🤮
I hope the make a coupe
Living only 150km from the Nürburgring I pretty much care how it performs around the track with that massive weight (brakes will give up fast I’m very sure), how long will it take until the batteries overheat and how many laps I can do with a charge. It might be good for an electric car but still many many miles away from track use like trackdays etc.
I think it doesn’t look bad at all and I’m sure it’s very fun to drive.
Cheers from Frankfurt
Supposed to be capable of 2 full chat laps around the green hell, then 20mins or less on a high speed dc fast charger(tesla has v3s at that track btw. Then 20mins back out on track without performance degradation. Again that is from hyundai in the press release!
@@user-ru2yl8ts9b why so offended ? 😅 let me guess… you are 12
Regarding brakes: it can actually do 0.6g regen, so the 40mm disks become less hot.
I think if you really want to push it, get wider semi-slick tires, then you would also need bigger brakes, and perhaps in sprint mode with some more mods and no traffic, you could get close to 7mins
Really interesting car! That bloody noise would drive me nuts (it's not something that works well on video). Does the little guy in the back seat come standard in the base cost or is he an optional extra? OH! Did I mention about that horrible noise?
you can turn the noise off
I always liked the idea of EVs emulating ICE cars, even if it seems silly. If simulated sounds can trick your brain in video games, why not in otherwise silent and very quick real life cars?
Yay
Why the hell would you want that broken vacuum cleaner soundtrack with occasional lego-non-lego bricks sucked into the hose?
You know what would be BRILLIANT in this car . Slow car fast mode . A setting for street driving where the is set to like 0-60 in 7 sec max with i guess full ability of handling or something close as i dont know what would be possible with all the power being sent all over .
But a setting where you can matt it on fun roads without overcooking anything for whatever reason you might including impulse control , garden variety stupidity , over estimation of your prowess or the cars , or anti social isssues where your not as concerned about others as should be oh and i guess driving privlidge preservation mode .
Im sure there is a TON OF PROGRAMMING to try and figure that out but i really dont know .
It could double as Valet mode , young male non owner driver mode , parents bought their kid it mode and it stays on for a while to preserve the genetic code invested in , anybody you know is nuts who you might need to let drive .
I know there are all kinds of configurations but certainly nothing like i have described . i " GUESS" there could also be a slider option by total hp and torque where you can customize it yourself to find something like that that suits how you drive if your a late brake or early brake etc etc which hopefully your style changes if for instance you live where i do where there is essentially ENDLESS FUN TECHNICAL ROADS that you may not really fully understand or always have complete surety whats around bend etc , might be a single time you take that road so no learning and only BIG WARNING SIGNS with slower speeds posted of which are the ones most fun to double the recomendation but same sign and speed may not have the same value of info the same way there are roads with low speeds that you drive regulary that obviously make no sense except that most people without trying struggle to keep speed down because it doesnt make sense which are the ones loaded with tax collectors / traffic cops which is a misnomer as they hide in places and at times when traffic is light so they can catch and at times when the danger of speeding on those roads is the least of an actual " traffic " safety issue . Same reason they plant themselves right after the sign that seemingly drops the limit abruptly despite no change to road and perhaps the sign comes into vision around a turn or something where you have less time to check speed or possibly not even notice thinking its just a redundant sign same as last because nothing about the road or environment seems to call for it and perhaps it is in conjunction with a down grade where its PHYSICALLY HARD TO do the limit because your impulse is to not wear breaks as well as take free energy you already paid for going up at higher speed and thinking what a waste of brake pads and free travel .
But yeah . Non anti social public sport mode or Slow car fast mode , or self control mode or whatever .
Like many things starting off with less power which in or on most things dulls throttle response allows you to push harder to learn . Like learning to ride on a Ninja 250 or Suzuki SV 650 before buying a litre class super bike to try to learn how to drag your knee and or explore counter steer in turns on power / at speed etc . Learning to rip wide open on slower lighter bike and moving up means you can ride that superbike better then the perosn who has the money and just buys the baddest bike they can to learn and finds out they think motorcycles are not as fun and too scary to reach those places that are fun all leaned over / going fast .
$70k + out here in the states. I'm sure they'll be a fat dealer markup.
Looks like a great car. They should have turned off the fake engine noise for this test.
Those fake engine noises are just WRONG man...If it has a motor, let us hear it, if its full electric then embrace that.
Sounds should have been a V8
Sounds like Mario Kart for the SNES. Ear poison.
60,000 for the battery.
///N Power.... 😂
2.2 tons! Hahahahaahahahhaahhahah
Are you.... changing gears? I feel like I'm missing something
It has fake gear changes with simulated up and down shifts.
If i was in the market for an EV this would be one of them. Tesla has nothing on this
Looks the bees knees that.
Nice car, sort of sad it has fake motor sounds.
Then turn it off.
Shame that you used the wrong driver for this vehicle!
Looks like fun but what’s up with the synthetic ICE and geared transmission noises? Tacky, tacky, tacky. Can they be permanently disabled?
Yes so many ppl think they don’t have the option my god ofcourse u can disable all that stuff…
65k pounds in UK.. Does that mean it's gonna be 85k USD nobody is gonna pay that if that's the equivalent
Bring back the affordable fun fast hot hatchback formula, a 2.2 tonne hacth doesn't sound fun regardless of how much like a computer it feels like, bring back the fast Fords(STs), Renault Rs's Peugeot GTIS, Opels I don't want to program my car that I want to drive it , and you wonder why young people don't like cars its cause we made nonsense heavy expensive cars popular
Those were not popular is sales and neither would be this.
zzzzz well.. let's see
It's different from the past too.
💯
In a recent article of yours about EV battery life, you give the impression that there is nothing to worry about traction battery longevity and the traction battery will outlast the car. I have owned a Nissan leaf Teckna 30 kwhr 6.6 charger, made in Sunderland in 2016. It is now 7 1/2 years old and has only done 38k miles, yet it has lost 33% battery and range capacity, with 4 out of 12 battery bars gone. Byorn ( Norway ) from youtube has just tested a modern 2 year old liquid cooled id3 with a battery loss of 6 1/2 %, James Cooke on youtube had to pay to change his model s battery after 8 years, battery life's id3 had a battery loss of 10% after 2 years, to name just a few of the EV's i am aware of, with range debilitating degradation or total failure, over a short time. I suggest that EV batteries are no where near as long lived as what you suggest in this article. I also own a 15 years old Mercedes E Class diesel, which still has the same brimmed range of 650 miles as it did when i bought it. This suggests to me that my EV will only last about half the time my diesel car will before the range in the EV, is useless. I will never, ever buy another EV and in my opinion they are just not fit for purpose, going against all the pro EV propaganda out there, which does not align with my first hand experience.
Why is he shifting with wheel pedals?
Because it has simulated fear shifts. He talks about that in the video 🤷♂️
Looks brilliant - hate the fake engine noise though!
Which one do you hate? There are 3 to choose from.
You can turn it off, and it will be helpful when you track down
All very clever but one point I think is important - how much better would it have been with an engine and that sound being real? The passion for cars comes from the senses, hence y gear change and noise is needed to entice the petrolheads. If u don’t do that then cars become a disposable tool. The speed this is rapidly becoming boring and I never thought I’d say that
while I agree with you, how much of this is only possible by this car being an EV? the torque vectoring, the adjustable F/R power, the lower center of gravity etc.
Hyundai have done wonderful work on petrol cars, I have the i30N myself and it's fantastic, but for the foreseeable future, petrol cars are kinda doomed by economic laws and regulations worldwide.
The EV market is booming, it's a safer investment for companies, especially Hyundai group who is just "recently" started to shine.
And I'm glad they are still trying to make do with the constraints of the EV (lack of feel, lack of noise, weight and autonomy) to please enthusiasts and bring something that almost no other manufacturer really does with their EVs, at least not at this price range (while it being super expensive).
Hyundai Kia are light years ahead of BMW BENZ and AUDI. Its hard for haters to admit it
Sure, gloss over the weight. 2.2 tonnes. It's a Golf plus a caravan. It's 400 kg heavier than a Model 3 Performance. Unacceptable.
So it jerks the power to simulate a gear shift? How stupid
It sounds pretty capable, but a 2 ton hot hatch with fake sound effects isn't particularly appealing. And for that price you can get a regular Ioniq 5 and an i20 N.
it's not only sound ...+ n shift
Go test drive one back to back with the i20N yhen come back to your comment
For 65k ill buy a porsche cayman gts 4.0 thanks
I hate alcantara. It's a deal braker for me.
i dont understand how this weight 400kg more then model 3
Ioniq5 is very big. It is wider than mid-size SUV.
Really !!!! ????
The "most fun" EV already exists btw, it's called the BMW i3s...
(hint: 1,250kg, and only 175 section tyres with pure rwd and a carbon fibre tub. For every opportunity to get the 5N to it's limits there are 100 opportunities to get a little i3 to it's limits, which makes it more fun, more of the time.......)
I much rather not hear the fake noises.
First of all I am not anti electric and it's great that this is fun to drive. As with ice cars I see too many modes. Why not simply set up a car properly like the good old days?
Ditch the fake engine noise. It's trying to be something it's not.
Let's get back to a simple car, without phone compatibility. Just sat nav and switch on and go? Too many toys. We want to just enjoy the drive. That's the car I'd want.
N is about the capability of an everyday sports car...
1. You can take it to the track and go mad... the tech helps you monitor your car as you do that
2. The sound is your your own health... your body has been conditioned to associate speed with noise and inertia... when that doesn't happen the body goes it shock... ie.e pple vomit get car sick u name it
3. We live in a world where we need to look after the earth... so if u buy this u need to be able to charge it the green way... this is massive step for company noone would mention in the same breath as any German car... now they sit well an truly ahead of any VW performance car... they offer the best track days with profession TCR driver on hand to guide you!
Because setting it average gives average performance and people want specific features will either not get them or have ones they don't want. With this you can pick which features you want on and off and tune them to your liking making it better for how you want it. Why only have vanilla to choose when there are plenty of good flavors available?
I don't understand the shift paddles?
I like the idea for engine breaking and finer control over throttle response.
They give a simulated gear change by dropping off the drive as you ‘change gear’ and then reapplying it. I like the idea.
Simulated gears , steering , gas , brakes , engine sound … yeah I think I rather buy a racing sim 😅
