I guarantee there's a dozen VW engineers that wrote and developed an engineering pitch to do the same "shifting" feel but was squashed by management. Thank you Hyundai for taking the gamble, it will pay off.
This is the color I ordered! Coming in a few months, so very cool to already see a proper (one of the first) videos with the car in this color. Thanks for this vid!
Finally. Someone who says that the quality of the materials inside the car that you _"regularly touch"_ are good 8-))... I hate it when people start _"scratching"_ at surfaces that I can't ever recall touching in any car before and moan that they're not lined with a sheepskin wool 8-((... So I'm going to ask the most boring question. Are the seats comfortable enough and would they be OK for a long 150+ mile journey or would you get out at the other end thinking, _"Christ. I'm glad that's over!"?_ But it's nice to see a car maker making an EV for petrol heads for the weekends while still keeping it as a practical EV hatchback for everyday driving. Is it me or does the exterior look similar'ish to that great hot hatch of 1987, the Lancia Delta Integrale? All in all, a good video 8-))...
Thank you for the long positive and kind words! I can tell you that, We had the car for 3-4 hours and while driving it for such amount of time in comfort/sport and relax driving and sporty driving the seats are comfortable! Only downside maybe I can give you is that because they are bucket seats they aren’t easy getting in out from. But let’s face it. Which Bucket seats come with heating, cooling, and massage?~DrivingViews
It is not a coincidence that it looks like Lancia Delta. Keep in mind that Ioniq 5 design language was based on Hyundai Pony model in 70s and was designed none other than Giugiaro who later designed Lancia Delta
@@WiktorZloty I didn't know about the Hyundai Pony, so had a quick look. My goodness. That coupé version is ugly 8-((... But I loved the look of the Lancia Delta. And I love the look of the Ioniq 5 and especially the N version. I can only presume that Giugiaro was having a bit of an off day when he designed the Pony 8-))...
Nette video! Mijn i30N komt ook van Devisch 😁. Alleen spijtig dat de ioniq 5N zo’n duit kost. Ik merkte verder op dat er veel Engelse spelfouten in je ondertiteling stond. Jammer want je video is voor de rest echt goed. Het kan geen kwaad om voor release je ondertiteling eens te laten controleren. Ik heb een c1 taalniveau in Engels dus ik kan dat ook weleens doen mocht je het willen proberen. ✌️🏎️💨
That’s what you would think but after you drive the iq5n you will change ur mind! Trust me. I am a petrolhead myself but if this is the future for EV driving im very excited.
I'd also like to have Ioniq N's wireless RC toys and plastic models. It's also good for vicarious satisfaction. This is something that a toy company has to make, and I'd like to have a real car.
No, it's not 'the petrolheads ev', because there is no such thing. It's a massive, heavy, ugly, battery car. Petrolheads love petrol engines because of the sound and character of the power delivery. Edit : I worked for a Hyundai dealership for 4 years, I'm not saying it's a bad ev, but it's still an ev and no real petrolhead would call it a 'petrolheads ev' because that makes no sense at all. You might like it for what it is, but it can never be comparable to a petrol engined car.
I understand your point, but this is unfortunately this is the way we are going towards, the governments are pushing everybody to EV, I'm not saying we are all going to be driving EV cars because there are many reasons this won't be a perfect idea. But we have to give Hyundai credits for at least being different from all the other companies and actually think about the (petrolheads) to have a car to get a similiar feeling to a real combustion engine.
@@DrivingViews Yes it is a performance ev, I completely accept that, and as an ex-employee of the brand, I think they do make brilliant vehicles. I do not think that ev's are the future, however, and already a few major vehicle manufacturer's are now back-tracking on their pledge to go full ev. There are other options such as synthetic fuels, and hydrogen too, which I think will be the future. It has been proven time and time again, that ev's are not as 'green' as originally claimed, and the many ev fires (cars self-combusting, which have made companies realise that full ev vehicles are not going to be the solution. I don't particularly like the Ionic5, but that is a personal thing, and as I am definitely a petrolhead (my current car is a bmw M2), I think my opinion is particularly valid as I am exactly the buyer that companies making the 'next stage' performance cars are aiming their products at.
I say give it a chance. There are so many reviewers considering purchasing Ioniq 5N with their own money after testing the vehicle. That is a hugh endorsement from people who regularly drive super cars.
@@bbokdoong I don't like EV's, because they are electric and do not fit with my lifestyle. I could not drive something so silent, so big & heavy, or so ugly. So no, I could never 'give it a chance' because I don't like it in any way. It could be the fastest car on earth, but that isn't what makes me excited about driving, it is the noise, the smell, the nimbleness and traditional analogue feeling that a smaller lighter petrol car gives you.
