Hyundai's Ioniq 5 has been on everyone's radar, and there's a big reason for it. It's because it's WICKED! It ticks pretty much off all the boxes for a fantastic daily driver at a price that you could consider it as an alternative to the Tesla Model Y.

WTF 2:11 !!!! SOMEONE can explain PLS????
I cake it the 8 bit car!
The Charging ports? You need to say if they ae old school USB ports or USB C ports!
@TH-cam made by Google a car which you can't repair is what the world needs
This is the ShortCircuit car video that has me convinced you’re doing it right. Alex, your coverage is like a breath of fresh air. I really appreciate your dedication to showing hvac and media controls. Love Andy’s perspectives too, really good back and forth you had there. I was super impressed with how you’ve described, demonstrated, and explained the suspension issue…well done. Finally, I think what made this video click for me was how well you contrasted it with the ev6 and model y. You’re starting to have this library of car experiences you can point people to as they consider their options. Love this concept, love your execution, please keep this up!
Thanks man! We really love cars and while we respect how people typically cover them, we want to do it in our own way.
@@ShortCircuit no wireless android auto in a 2022/3 model?
@@littlejackalo5326 ya it's a bit strange especially for the money that your spending
neither of these guys are experienced or knowledgeable enough to review cars. You would need to be braindead to take their opinion seriously. Go to smoking tire, Scotty kilmer, regular car reviews, or even doug demuro.
@@littlejackalo5326 chip shortages are causing features to be removed for 2022/23 models
I love seeing Alex with these EVs. All the other reviewers just gas the cars up and he goes through little details and says it how it is I feel like. I love the team Linus has built.
@@ianvisser7899 POWAAA 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, for as much as he likes the car, he still points out its flaws.
Alex is one of the most biased reviewers ever. His love for Dell and hate for Lenovo is toxic.
Some of the most popular reviewers out there focus specifically on the little details. Channels like Carwow and Doug Demuro dedicate a major portion of their videos just for the "quirks and features".
@@hellowill but like.... Everyone has huge biases? That's human nature. he's just on a stage.
I REALLY appreciated Andy's interjections. It's always good to get multiple perspectives on vehicles (hence why i'm watching this after seeing Doug Demuro's coverage) because everyone drives differently and has different preferences
I love the way you do car reviews. The focus on the interior and UX in a dedicated section, the practical considerations, the driving experience review... Also not reviewing the highest end model is a great move
Totally agreed on not reviewing the highest-end trim. Review the trim that you would suggest people buy!
Huh? That makes zero sense. They should review the one with every option. Why would you do an incomplete review. You can always pretend there isn't a feature, but you can't imagine what the review would be like on the version you would buy.
@@littlejackalo5326 the interior is 100% different between the base and limited trims. Every material is different. Ya the limited trim is nice but for cloth seats and plastic I was pleasantly surprised. (I own a SE, would highly recommend it)
I don't think that applies to all cars. Especially this one being an EV. There's big differences between the trims which also varies in diff countries.
I love that you guys kept in the angry driver at 13:47 - 13:57. Classic.
that sound confused me, now i see it's someone honking at them 🤣🤣🤣
I get that they are filming a video, but you would think they would do so in a more appropriate place, rather than forcing everyone to put up with them
fun fact the person honking is NOT the same as the person passing.
@@emperorSbraz Tru cuz the Honker is the editor
He was doing 60kph /37mph and if that was a 40mph road then he had nothing to be angry about. However if he was doing 37mph in a 50mph zone then I can see why he's annoyed.
15:04 Hey, that's my video. Neat! Great review guys, I agree with most of your points here. It's not perfect, but it is a fantastic car. Get on that waitlist now!
Andy and Alex make a great team, with each having very valid arguments. I'm impressed that a "tech channel" does better car reviews than a lot of so-called "mainstream" auto reviews
I loved the little 'nice' the editor put in, as Alex was accelerating the Ioniq5 in sports mode at 11:17
We need separate lmg car reviewing channel for Alex.
Auto Circuit
There are enough car reviewers on yt, ones that aren't behind the times with what they review like #thestraightpipes
@@NiTeHaWKnz Alex will be really a lot better than many noobs at there like supercar blondie or even tech noob mkbhd
@@theeuropeanlegacy5075that's facts bruh they don't have any knowledge
For what it's worth, the EV6 has a way to set the passenger knob to permanently be volume. It also let's you set whether it defaults to climate or media. Those two things made the infotainment far less annoying to me.
I really don't think the switchable button panel is as big a deal as Alex makes it out to be.
@@patriotbarrow It's the little things that drive you insane :)
Absolutely, how often is Alex or anyone actually switching between the Climate and Stereo? At least it has a dedicated button and isn't buried in the infotainment screen.
@@patriotbarrow yeah, it really seemed like he was struggling to find negatives with this one.
@@leeward6762 yep, it's a ridiculous rant about something like that.
You are owning these car reviews Alex - nice detailed overview. Good work team 👍🏼
As a BC IONIQ 5 owner, I've been waiting for this for a while! I think you guys did great job covering the car, only thing I noted that you sort-of got wrong is that you can reorganize the apps on the screen, so the ones you use most can be moved closer to the steering column. Otherwise, everything else was pretty spot on. Absolutely do not regret getting this thing, feeling pretty satisfied with that pre-order I placed back in July. Especially the way gas prices have gone!
Why would you wait for a review of something you already own?
I sat in one at the Pittsburgh international auto show, it was really nice except for the price. I don't have charging capabilities at my apartment complex, or I'd be interested. I think I'm going to get the GR Corolla.
That car is definitely super cool
@@ShortCircuit I really liked the interior space of the ioniq, and the styling. I'm a big '80s' guy and it combines my 80s car styling with the lights (86 Toyota cressida) with the practicality of my daily driver wagon ('10 Elantra touring). They hit this one out of the park.
GR Corolla is going to have an insane markup especially in this market
Oh, Hyundai definitely has their interior plastics figured out! I have a 2016 Tucson, and it's freaking sweet! It feels way more luxurious than my other friend's cars, even in the same price range or slightly higher. Everything is so well placed too, and the buttons and dials feel great! It has also held up perfectly in the 6 years I've had it, and the design did too. Love it!
Sad to see that they went the touch route on this one, the climate control dials and buttons on the Tucson are G R E A T. I'll never stop mentioning it lol. They clearly they know how to do UX right, so... Ugh
The steering is the same thing on the Tucson though. It feels very light and at the same time weirdly heavy, after long trips my arms are tired! I've noticed that I'm not the only one, as when my mum drove on a trip I've seen her occasionally take her arm off the steering wheel and shake it lol. Oh well
The more of these that come out, the more I want you to do a roundup review, where you get them all and shoot a longer video on it . . . maybe on LTT? The ultimate LTT EV showdown where you test 'em, drive 'em back to back and then share your thoughts.
I mean, I know that'd be REALLY hard given today's "it's hard to find a car" problems (having bought one in January, I can empathize), but maybe that's an idea for the future?
PS: I still hate the climate controls in that car . . . everything else about it looks pretty sweet--except maybe the suspension. :-)
So last time Short Circuit did a car video, I complained that you guys weren't visually showing the details you were talking about in the video and that it was frustrating.
This time every details is shown on screen as you're talking about them and it's a big improvement, so thank you editing team and filming team for that :D
Love seeing all these electric car reviews! Still would love to see one on the Volkswagen ID 4 and the BUZZ when it releases later!
Or the Cupra Born. That is what we ordered.
@@spenhouet I doubt they will get that in Canada
That "nice" under the speedo when Alex floored it past 69 was hilarious 🤣
So I wasn’t the only one who saw it 🤣
@@tallguysix8 I thought I was loosing my shit but sure enough was there lmao
Really well done car review. Nice overview with all the talking points of the vehicle. I'm really exited to see more car videos in the future like the ID.3, ID.4 or Polestar2
I love your car reviews. How you do it and what you see and care about is what I do too. The perspective you have is on point for myself!
Please keep it up!
ive driven probably like, 10 of these IONIQs at my work, and god i love them
Beautiful cars, elegant interior, just an overall futuristic vibe to them that you dont see often. it also feels almost luxurious.
Very glad ive had the chance to drive these and the Mach Es.
Which one would you choose? The Mach E or Ioniq 5?
@@connorleschinsky IONIQ personally, cheaper yet still feels premium, looks cooler imo. Ive only had limited driving with them, but so far, IONIQ wins aside from speed, those Mach E are insane on how fast they are, almost as much horse as the new Corvettes
Super nice to see both Andy and Alex giving the reviews for the car
Good cop bad cop with Andy and Alex was great. Great review! I have the 2020 ioniq hatchback hybrid. It's pretty wild to see this design change. I love my Hyundai and I'm excited for their future.
I drove both the Ioniq 5 and EV6 a couple months ago. First, both are really great cars. In my opinion the EV6 is definitely more driver focused though, with a nicer interior and better handling and honestly just more fun. The way the screens curve towards you is so nice and not actually all that common. In the end I've opted for the EV6 GT-line and should be picking it up in a few weeks!
Good choice for either car, always happy to see other opinions :)
I am so happy to see this video! I've been on the waitlist since the end of February for the RWD preferred long range model! Such a good test drive experience and overall, some of the best EV technology. The 800V system seems to be becoming the standard for the foreseeable future which future proofs it and just generally I have nothing bad to say about it! Really looking to getting my Ioniq 5 in October to drive it around Kelowna and do some long trips!
Charging infrastructure is the biggest problem IMO. Superchargers are everywhere, they are always working, and the majority of new ones are 250kW (and truly give 250kW) - rarely do I see a stall out of order.
And here I'd have nowhere to charge it but at home
Yeah, I know they aren't fans of tesla, but that's tesla's biggest advantage. They are the apple of the charging networks. They "just work". And that's huge when you do eventually take a road trip.
On the plus side it looks like tesla is going to be opening up their supercharger network soon.
Thanks for the review! I picked up a mid tier (SEL) I5 in March. My first electric, and I had some reservations, but I find it's easy to do anything I was doing with my ICE car with this one. I do agree that the 'sound system' needs some work. Ugh. And I do miss seat memory. But I don't miss filling my tank with high octane fuel every week.
The big difference between this and any Tesla down here in the states is that Tesla no longer qualifies for a federal tax rebate ($7,500 USD). That brings the price of the I5 down quite a bit. The rebate will stay in place until Hyundai sells 200,000 EVs, or when Congress finds out we're pocketing money they could have spent on their mistresses.
Just a slight addendum about the non-Tesla high-kilowatt level 3 charger availability situation: it might currently suck in BC, but at least in the eastern US, it's apparently fairly decent and continuing to improve. Robert Dunn and Alec Watson (of YT channels Aging Wheels and Technology Connections, respectively) literally just did a collab within the past couple of weeks to drive a 1200-mile road trip from Alec's home base in the Chicagoland area to somewhere in Florida in Alec's new Ioniq 5, using Electrify America's network:
th-cam.com/video/1Vm_ASm2zfs/w-d-xo.html
TL;DR: depending where you are in North America and where you need to go, it is indeed possible to not have (many) issues finding non-Tesla high-kilowatt level 3 charging stations.
IMO Elon really needs to put his money where his mouth is and open up the Tesla Superchargers to CCS charging. He's all about the electric future, he should be willing to play nice with other manufacturers.
And I say this as a Tesla owner. I love my car warts and all, but Tesla is far too closed-source for my liking.
Ok I had no idea that Alec bought a new car. I wonder if he'll do a video about it in the near future.
Just came from that video! Robert and Alec have been making awesome content and Robert has the best sense of humour.
@@namAehT In Europe every Tesla has been CCS for quite a while now, and in return, the superchargers have been as well. They recently opened them up here (NL) for other brands as well (which works great on even my ancient 63KW charging Ioniq). In return, shopping a new car (ordered an Ioniq 5), I was pleasantly surprised to see that Tesla also includes non-Tesla "superchargers" (like Fastned, Ionity, Shell Recharge, and so on) in their trip planning list. It's truely both ways here. In part due to regulation mandating Tesla to use CCS. Compared to the Ioniq they are slow chargers though (capping at "only" 170kW -- you can charge a non-tesla faster at a tesla charger than a tesla now)
Alec notes in his video that Tesla has/will open up standard charging on their Superchargers.
It's already been five minutes since I watched it though, and don't remember if that includes HVDC, but at least now Tesla chargers are an option for non-Tesla cars.
I own a limited ioniq 5. It's so great. Aside from Alex's imperfections, it's a perfect vehicle.
Do you have the water issue at the trunk like in the video?
How do you live with the absence of rear wiper? Do you carry a rag and clean it up?
@@rickyandika718 nope! Nothing of the sort.
I was hoping when Alex mentioned the cops we'd see that road rager pulled over. Never ceases to get a smug chuckle out of me when that happens irl.
You mean the Olds that passed by them just before then? It's pretty clear they were doing a slow beauty shot. I thought it was funny how he's talking about a "Car of the future", only to be passed by a 1990's Olds Cutlass.
@@NEEDbacon and passing on a solid yellow.
@@TakameCC It's legal, just not advised unless you're sure it's safe to pass.
@@NEEDbacon I See. Well Not here in newfoundland. there is a dash yellow on the side that is allowed to pass. figure it was a Canadian law.
@@TakameCC No, that allows for passing, but only for the side with the dashes so you are correct there. The solid side should treat it as a double yellow and can not pass. A single solid yellow is legal to pass on, but with extreme caution (Almost to the point to treat it like you shouldn't cross which is where confusion comes from). Dashed single yellow allows for passing whenever is safe. While Double Yellows is no passing at all.
Edit: googled it myself and to quote Attorney Tom "It Depends". Newfoundland it IS illegal to cross over a solid yellow to pass. However in BC where this was filmed, it's legal. Only Nova Scotia is explicit about solid yellow passing being legal, and says "Only on highways".
I recently got to go sideways in the Ioniq 5 at a corporate event.. and man does this car FEEL amazing to drive.
On a track it wasnt all that impressive, but point to point and skidpan it was unreal.
Really glad you guys included the comment about the US rebates, I think it makes a big difference for those considering an EV in the US right now. It’s up to $10k off which can make a car go from out of someone’s price range to definitely considerable in the long run.
I managed to buy a Digital Teal SEL AWD and it is truly one of the best cars I've ever driven. It is a shame that you got the SE equivalent to review because the SEL or Limited is definitely the way to go.
The button that has the star on it beneath the infotainment is for a custom function and I have that set to launch Android Auto.
Overall, this is a great review of a great car! Nice work, Alex.
I love the little camera man snippets very cool style!
Nice! Another car video! As always thank you for your hard work and dedication!!!
I bought the Ioniq 5 a few month back and have absolutely been loving it. Best car I have ever owned for sure.
Good choice and good luck... Ioniq5 is the world best ev car.
Amazing, right down to the colour scheme and the wheels that's exactly my wife's car. Luckily we got the higher trim. The tested one looks wierd.
As owners, we can say that in everyday use this thing is absolutely great. Quiet, , comfy, roomy, fast, enough range, very quick to charge. The only issue I have with it is the colour scheme. All black paint, 20 millimeters lower, a wider stance and the 20 inch rims would make it awesome. My wife loves it that way though.
Lucky people! I might have to wait for one but this will likely be my next car. I have a Chevy Volt and I want to get a full EV in the next year. I am not too concerned with looks but other than the Mercedes EQS which is well outside my price range, this is the first EV in which I really love the outside design.
I have an 2021 i30 Wagon and I have to admit I was soo surprised how great it looks/feels/is built :) For its price it's really perfect!
Great to see a review of the RWD LR version. Too many with the Ultimate Package that fail to mention many of those features are not standard.
The standard features of this vehicle are still good and have many things not found in base models of other EVs like the Model 3 and is $20k less.
I have put a deposit down at the beginning of April for the RWD LR with estimated delivery of 6-10 months, but was pushed back at the beginning of May to 8-10 months. So hopefully early next year I'll get delivery
Haha, the "jeez b'hy" at 10:58 from Alex when Andy was taking the turn. Love to hear some of that newfie come out whenever Alex is in a video!
I thought he was a bluenoser!
I know it wouldn't be now with the lab expansion happening and all the money being put into this and other expansions like the LTTstore, but I'm loving the car videos and I think in the future an expansion into that sector with possibly a dedicated channel would be amazing
th-cam.com/video/D2QLwXQq1Us/w-d-xo.html start watching from 10:00 I think the head of ltt labs likes car stuff and what you said could be a possibility in the future
I don't think it would be worth a whole other channel, but Linus did mention on the WAN Show a couple of times (like a year ago, it was around the time of Taycan video iirc) that he'd like to bring more car videos to LTT, and they have definitely done more car videos (which I quite like even if, in general, I don't really like cars and hate driving, EVs are quite cool)
One of the issues is that they just don't perform that well (for LMG). But maybe that will change over time.
Please more of that, your reviews point perfect to what's really important about evs!
It's wonderfull to see a review of a medium trim car that people get, instead of always the top trim with all the nice bells and whistles you can live witjout
My problem with Hyundai, and my 2018 Ioniq, is the power output of the USB port with android auto. It just doesn't keep my phone charged and I lose battery over very long road trips. The non AA ports have more power, for some reason
I'm in love with this car literally and i was at Walmart the other day(i live in Puerto Rico so i thought it might be impossible to find this Carl and a guy was getting out of one of those and god dang it's even more beautiful in person
I saw one of these on the road yesterday on the way home! I should have looked to see if it was Lew since no one probably actually has their hands on one.
It's a damn sexy looking car, and this review was appreciated. I still think I want something dual energy tho, because it would be our main vehicle and road trips would give me range anxiety.
The differences between the SEL and Limited are not significant imo. The main things the Limited has over the SEL is:
- Heads up display
- Sound system (from reviews I heard its not that great or sounds the same)
- Ventilated Seats (the main one I care about)
- V2L in the rear seats
- Memory Seats (Driver is memory but passenger is manual in SEL)
- Sunroof
- Can move Center Console forward and back
- Park Assist
- 20 inch wheels
Main things I'd want are the HUD and ventilated seats which I wish were an option but other than that the SEL is the best choice. Just got the I5 SEL in Shooting Star and my wife and I love it. Hope this helps!
This video came just at the right time! I'm currently shopping around for a new car and potentially my first electric one. I like the Niro for how cheap it is for the quality, the Sportage hybrid and of course, the Ioniq. Just wondering if the latter is worth the big price increase of the other 2.
BEVs are great, assuming you can charge at home, you'll never know how dumb going to a gas station seems until you experience it. Take you max normal daily driving distance and multiply by 1.6 and choose a vehicle with equal to or more range than that for no charging daily trips and healthy battery practices. Niro is not purpose built EV, I don't think highly of those. Personally not interested in Hybrid (more complex, more to break and maintain) Demand is high, so are prices. I recommend watching Sandy Munro for quality assessment. My choices for currently available entry level BEV:
1 Tesla Model 3/Y
2 Kia EV6
3 Mach E
4 Ioniq 5
5 VW ID4
@@danomitepoop Interesting. I just refuse to buy a Tesla until they make good cars, no matter how good their batteries are. Anyways, as you've said, I do plan to charge at home and therefore only use a station charger in case of emergency but I'm usually quite the nerd when it comes to tech and making sure everything is at 100% all the time just incase so I really don't need Tesla's superior charging network.
One car that intrigues me quite a bit is the Subaru Solterra but that one is only supposed to release this summer so my interest is only based on very little info.
After looking at all the available EVs, I'm just not sure about any of them. I find them all lacking in some way. The Sportage is closer to what I'm looking for but yes, it's only a hybrid. The Solterra might be the one but I won't know for a while.
@@coughfee_beansKeep in mind there is a lot of FUD with EVs, If you look at customer satisfaction surveys Teslas are some of the best cars out there.
@@danomitepoop I just don't want to drive a QC nightmare like a Tesla and I find them to have a bad interior and boring exterior. The Solterra looks much better and potentially for much less. But so far since I'll only be leasing for 3-4 years, out of the cars already out released, I'm most interested by the Tucson Hybrid.
I also can't wait to see what the PHEV Sportage will be like. A good Tucson competitor.
The only EV I really like besides the Solterra is the E-Tron but that's a little out of my budget.
I love everything about this car, especially its design, but I just wish they would release it in the size of a regular hatchback like a Golf or a Corolla instead of a crossover size.
yes me too! There really is no need for it to be that big
The design really makes me think of teslas cyber truck made into a hatch/people carrier
My gut feeling is that they need to make the cars big in order to cram all the batteries inside; that way they can meet the advertised range and not look terrible when compared to a Tesla
This is just one car of the many member of the Ioniq family. There will be more models to come including the compact EV ...
@@user-xz1ur8us5p If they made a small hatchback and marketed it as a city vehicle similar to the Honda E, it wouldn't need to have insanely high range, so there won't be need for such a large and heavy battery pack as well.
drove the audi q4 last week. loved it. my grandma said it was the best car she ever drove in. she compared it to our other cars like the Benz and Jaguar and was happier with it.
it ain't perfect, but i really enjoyed it. it was on sale in germany for 34k and that is a steal ngl .
I pick mine up May 15! So excited.
Would love to see Alex's take on the Polestar 2, any chance you guys are getting one in for review?
Maybe wait until they can get their hands on the new and refreshed version they just launched
There is a ton of these already, here in Northern California. However, they don't look as nice as I thought they would after seeing them in pictures. The Kia EV6 looks much nicer in my opinion
I personally don't see the hype regarding this car's design. It looks pretty ugly
I absolutely love it. But yeah I also really like the Cyberpunk 2077 vehicles.
I didn't get a "get on the waitlist" vibe from the video, even though that was your final conclusion; however, on a whole, I think you both did a good job reviewing this car, thank you.
Love how you just casually ignored the a-hole honking you and passing you at 13:45. That's dedication to getting the review done!
I’m deeply concerned about the water in the trunk. I mean is that just going to be condensation that happens? Or did someone like leave the hatch open? Is it a spill 😰
Alex is right about that not being a good thing … I mean heck even if it doesn’t mold the smell will be horrible pretty soon I would imagine
Edit: omg I hope you can add aftermarket sway bars and like different suspension!?! There is no reason you should have rebound after a turn that bounces back and forth 🤦♂️… which this is Hyundai doing some things for the first time so I get the struggle but just make it adjustable or stiffer over all idk that’s what I would do
Great video Alex, and I love that LTT has started with EV reviews. However, i'm a big tech and car nerd, so I would have loved to se a much more detailed review of the car, that other reviewers often forget. Since I live in Norway where it is cold, which models have a heat pump? How does the prewarming before charging work? What is the maintenance and service cost? What is the expected lifetime of the battery? How long are the warranty and battery warranty? How is the anti rust treatment? How is the pricing and availability for parts? And the last and most important question, is it possible to repair and maintain the Ioniq 5 yourself? Right to repair is important on cars too! This is because cars get used, cars break, cars gets old and all cars need regular care and maintenance.
Hello to beautiful Norway from Austria! Having compared a lot of EV options over the last years, I learnt that some of the things you are mentioning can be very different in local markets due to different trims and price targets. So even I really second your thoughts, this is probably making it hard to fit in a review with international viewers - especially impacting the elephant in the room here which is the heat pump that might be omitted with EVs in warmer markets for cost savings. Heck, even when I compared some Hyundai/Kia specs of trims sold in either Germany or Austria, there were differences even though everyone would expect them to be essentially the same market. And with this video I was kinda shocked that even the second to highest Canada trim of the Ioiniq 5 does not seem have the front lightbar as standard, opposing to the Austrian spec where only the lowest trim doesn't have it. It's crazy how different the essentially same car can be in another part of the world.
@@richie_k Thank you for the information. I didn't know there were that much difference between regions, so that would be something to have in mind when looking at reviews
Great review!
Will you be reviewing the BMW i4 anytime soon?
People are suggesting the i4 RWD model has more range than Model 3 LR.
these just keep getting better and better! highly entertaining
Whoever edited the tiny « nice » on the speedometer when Alex floored the pedal and reached 69 deserves a raise.
Alex is becoming my favorite automotive reviewer. Excellent video!
since u guys have showcased some cars in the range of $60k+ , i think u guys should also do a review on their well established competitors like the corvette since they are quite enticing in that range aswell and perhaps pick on their shortcomings aswell
love the vids
0:05: Hey!! My 2013 Chevy Volt is wicked! It is blue like Jolt in the Transformers franchise. 293K miles and going strong. Inner rear-reflectors swapped with LEDS baked in so I have 5 brakes lights. The Ioniq is awesome too with the 800v high voltage system and AWD
It's great to see some car reviews on a techy TH-cam channel.
Glad you enjoy it!
EVs are more tech with wheels than cars with incidental tech these days.
Having watched both the EV6 and now the Ioniq 5 video, I feel like the positives/negatives that Andy brought up actually make the EV6 the more attractive car for me.
I drove an Ioniq when my main Tucson needed an engine replacement. It was the hybrid car version and honestly loved how it felt. This suv version looks really nice. If I was looking for a new vehicle this could very well be the one. I know my next one will be another smallish Suv, and something eigher hybrid or full electric. If Hyundai had a truck version of the Ioniq, with a similar look it could be what gets me into a truck
I know you don't have Skoda cars in Northern America, but I would love for Alex to do a review of the Skoda Enyaq iV80. I've just ordered one, and as such already have watched soo many videos on it, but it feels like Alex has such a unique perspective in his car reviews, that I'd be really interested to know his opinions. Keep up the good stuff, Alex!
Hyundai has been absolutely killing it with their offerings over the last few years. The features and quality of thier vehicles at the price point at which they are able to deliver them is quite incredible. Really excited to see them getting into the electric market too.
My old work got ~100 Hyundai ix20s and they had the worst quality of a car I've ever seen (2014-2019 models) so I'd never put my own money on one until they get proper tested for 3-4 years of daily use. Because after 4-5 years we were selling our cars for scrap value. Problems we had include 4 cars randomly losing brakes, total electrical meltdown, the inside of the wheelhouse would fall out (in same order on every car like clockwork) and much more.
Incredibly cheap to buy though.
@@bajroevahahahaha you are very right only people who think hundais are nice never been in a new car before
Problem with Hyundai and Kia charging is, as of now, there are issues with thermal management (thermal throttling and, more commonly, “cold-gating”) which greatly decreases kW at fast chargers. Got to hand it to Tesla there (and Polestar and Lucid, maybe a few others) with their preconditioning before fast chargers. It’s fantastic on my Y, and fully automatic with the built in trip planner.
European models got preconditioning via an update a few months ago, and all '23 models in US and Canada will have it, so they are making the change. Only AWD models in the US came with the heat pump and we are hoping that they enable preconditioning for us as well :/ They did just enable widescreen Android Auto via update a week ago, so they are trying to support us early adopters.
@@WilsonCalvert good to hear. Curious how well the software will be optimized. Also saw comments from owners (including someone who lives nearby) about throttling after multiple fast charges (ie long distance). Don’t have personal experience with Ioniq but curious why that’s the case as well.
@@AditMahesh US owners are getting two years of free 30 minute charging at Electrify America stations, and honestly, they have been hit or miss on charging rates for me. The same station some days I'll get 150 kW (the station limit) and some days I get 60-80 with the same external temps.
Basically, it is probably more of an EA issue since I read that they are dealing with a lack of replacement parts.
@@WilsonCalvert could be. EA in Ohio is a hit or miss according to friends with EVs. Still planning on getting the CCS adapter when Tesla releases it for “backup.” EA is a bit more expensive than Supercharging though, especially in the Midwest. Supercharging here is quite cheap. Need to keep that in mind as well. Also heard EA has some charging losses between the bay and the car, but that I’m less sure about.
I actually drove past one of these the other day. I was super confused at what it was at first, but seeing it now in more detail it’s such a cool looking car! And I’m not even a fan of SUVs.
When I first got mine I HATED the white bezels on the infotainment. But after time I loved it for your exact reason. No fricken visible fingerprints.
Personally, I think the Ioniq 5 is good enough as an electrical car to be a slightly lower performance alternative to the Tesla Model Y if the latter is not available(or prices are actually somewhat controlled on Hyundai's side).
Hopefully this'll make Tesla and especially other manufacturers to actually step up their game. Moreso Tesla than the others honestly since they seem to have, through their intense manufacturing investment, actual delivery capacity internationally.e
"performance" it's annoying that everyone is marketing the 0-60 times. The gasoline powered alternatives are nowhere near as quick as any ev.
@@ianrobertson3419 I meant performance is sense of range and general vehicle performance, but yeah, you are correct.
@@neutronpcxt372 Range is the big one but give hyundai et al a year or two and tesla will have to lower their prices back down to compete. The reason I ordered the ioniq5 is that it's more of a useable family vehicle AND there is a dealer in my town for parts and service. Tesla has very little presence outside of major cities.
I had so much problems with my hybrid and for a year the ionic electric.
The electric was for 5 months at the dealership because there was a loose pin at a connector. After a year the 12V battery died.
Did you ever gave an electric car a jumpstart? Didn’t know I had to do this one day.
The sad part is a mechanic told me the ionic 5 got way more problems.
The 12V battery dies when you charge your car!!!? Like wtf
Ah yes wholeheartedly trust a mechanic about electric cars despite the fact the rise of them effects their bottom line...
I have a Hyundai Kona 2022. Great all rounder of a car in my opinion. Hyundai has been really on top of their car game in recent years for sure. Didn't get an electric model because first, there wasn't any in stock or even in back order availability (and even then due to chip shortage it took almost 4 months for my car shipment to arrive) and two - there are virtually no public charging points in my country (even though the gov is promising deployment of places) so I can basically only charge at home which is a non starter for me.
moist or water in the trunk might come from faulty welds(but that's unlikely) might also come from the overpressure vents that might be located in the rear wheel arches. i had a simular problem with my golf 7
This is a absolute beauty an you guys give very honest non bias reviews
the car is ugly af, you need glasses
God, I love Alex's car videos. He's literally gotten so good as a host
About the water in the trunk: I have been looking into building a camper van and insulation is a hot topic. A lot of talk about hydrophilic or hydrophobic insulation. From my few days of research, any condensation with hydrophobic insulation will kind of just pool up and eventually evacuate out of these drains in the car. Looks like it could be what that is?
Thank you for taking the bullet on the charging bit there -- from an European perspective these reviews are also very interesting. As usual, the EU has mandated chargers for cars as well. Most fast chargers (they literally are every ~50km here around the highway, and most bigger petrol stations also have fast charging up to 175kW now) here now are CCS/Type 2 (as opposed to North American CCS/Type 1. Now that Nissan also went to CCS, CHaDEMO (which can only do 50kW) is on its way out.
Only the huge amount of "old" model-S cars are struggling here, outside of superchargers they rely on CHaDEMO adapters. Even Model3/Y is sold with CCS/Type2 chargers here now. Opposed to North America, where Tesla still gets away with their own proprietary charger. All in all, I have quite a lot of coworkers who frequently take their EV's to go all over Europe. Everything from Polestar, Kia, Hyundai (driving a 2019 Ioniq EV myself, but looking to upgrade halfway next year) is what we drive -- I think about half my coworkers are on the EV-bandwagon now, but our employer sponsors a lot, which helps with adoption (and honestly most of them never want to go back to dino-juicers).
Test drove this and the EV6, ended up with a preorder for an EV6 (due Q1 2023) because of the nicer less "minimalist" interior and better highway efficiency. Happy u didn't have an existential crisis over a simple feature like the media/climate toggle this time, like you did on the Kia.
Best line ever "It's a car that understood the assignment". Understated and so right. Both a complement and a 'meh'. All at the same time.
We've been buying and driving Hyundai's since 2002, the progression of quality for the price has kept us with them since. We are now on our 3rd one and we plan on continuing to purchase them...
5:02 in my custom built Toyota land cruiser, I didn't put a center console in. It's great. I can fit a backpack or cooler there easily. You may ask what I do with all of my junk then? I simply don't have it!
Hm. Just saw this car an hour ago on my way home. It definitely caught my attention and I am even more surprised to see a video on it almost right after.
My mom has had a Hyundai Sonada since 2015, so this might be to her liking.

Great review guys, thoroughly enjoyed! Hopefully you're considering doing more in the future. It's so crazy to think that we basically don't even have EVs in my country.. I mean we even have scheduled power outages almost daily in efforts to keep the grid from collapsing... 😂 Any fellow South Africans?!
How often do you change your climate settings? I dont think i have touched mine in over a year.
Thought this was preorders for the screw driver lol
Hyundai is going crazy right now. I just bought an Elantra N 6 speed manual and it is absolutely the most fun car I have ever driven (granted, I haven't really driven much else). I'm so impressed by Hyundai's leap in the recent years, they've really stepped it up with their design, and their N division is absolutely killing it.
I saw an article about how good the Elantra N is and how it looks like Hyundai underrated the horsepower by 40-50, which is kind of crazy!
You said it yourself, you havent driven much. Hyundai's not that good lol. Theyve been a joke in the car industries for years
@@raymeekss I agree. I got a 21 Elantra Limited and it had the radiator fail within 5 months of ownership. After 4 weeks, I got the car back only to discover that the infotainment system would keep crashing every few minutes
In basically every car I've owned with a stock stereo adjusting the fader more towards the rear comes before bass / treble. At least for music at high volume.
Not sure if this is the cause of the trunk moisture issue, but many vehicles have little rubber grommets behind the taillights where the wiring and whatnot gets fed into the body of the car to prevent water intrusion. Sometimes, these grommets either fall out from vibration and harsh bumps, or degrade over time (which shouldn't be the case with a brand new car).
In these comments, non car people talk about how good a junk car company is for no reason other than to agree with the channel
Yeah, they should have brought up Hyundai's reliability or how Hyundai was trying to hide that their cars were catching on fire until a whistleblower ratted them out. Hyundai settled a $760 million class-action lawsuit and are also currently being investigated by the feds for the fires. The interior infotainment system is also an exact copycat of what you see in something like a Mercedes A-Class
the issue with modern cars is exactly that they look as bad as concept cars often did, I miss times when cars looked like cars, not like bugs, not like whatever modernist feverish dream these are either
Blah blah blah, this is the best looking cars I've seen in a long time. Finally cars are starting to look good while bring safe and efficient
@@tek1645 Have you seen it in person? It doesn't look as nice. The body style is kind of awkward like they didn't know if they wanted it to be an SUV or a hatchback. The EV6 looks much better
@@--------.--------------------. no one cares, I didn't even read your comment and I have notification off so continue talking to a wall
My wife has a 2019 Ioniq Hybrid and we love it. She'll love to upgrade this looks sweet
Thank you for the lb to kg conversion 👍🏿👍🏿
Why can't EVs just have simple controls? This shit with a bunch of crappy tablets is so annoying to use.
Real buttons are vastly superior
@@Akkbar21 Speak for yourself
@@Akkbar21 Well then you didn't just speak for yourself. You spoke for everyone except yourself.
Wet / moldy trunk
“Premium” plastic trim
Trashy HVAC
Huge infotainment bezels.
Terrible suspension.
Terrible steering.
Audio that lacks ‘richness’.
BUY NOW!!! 😂
I really enjoy the Car Reviews, looking forward for more in the future!
Great video, i think the skoda enyaq ev would also be an interesting electric car you could check out in a ShortCircuit
