Hi Everyone,
In this video I start my search for my next daily driver with the new Hyundai Ioniq 5 58kWh 2WD. This is what the dealer was offer for the test drive.
This is the base model Ioniq 5 coming in at NZ$79,990 on the road (to just meet our rebate criteria). It has the lowest power at 125kW but a fair amount of standard features.
Please consider liking and subscribing, it would be much appreciated. Comment below if you have any questions or suggestions, etc.

Nice video! The Hyundai Ioniq 5 looks absolutely amazing! It is spacious, flexible and has a sustainable interior made from sugar cane components and crushed PET bottles.

Sorry about the in car video folks. My first review video showed that I need some better camera mounting kit

Thanks for reviewing the base model.

Thank you for a strong critique on this car. I've been looking at many reviews and many of them only say good things and it feels like hyundai paid for their review.

@jamesfromwellington 2 года назад

You're welcome, the trouble is the reviewers only get the top spec versions of cars. As a pleb in a country where the bottom end one is the only one that qualifies for our rebate, that's what I was offered to test drive.

Thank you. This saves me the time to go and look at a base model - looks terrible.

Have a look at the Kia EV6, Polestar 2, or the Volvo XC40 instead

Bloody hell, they really are expensive in New Zealand. We just got an Ultimate RWD with everything for less than that, which is a totally different car in interior quality and performance. The base model you drove would be £36995 in the UK so $74000 New Zealand, and thats without any incentives at all. I like EVs but damn that would put me right off.

@jamesfromwellington 2 года назад

Yes, despite being closer to South Korea we often get charged a small market premium. On the other hand I just got pricing for the Polestar 2 and it's cheaper here across the range than in most other places I've been looking.

The base model is harder to find than a sanctioned Oligarch!

@jamesfromwellington 2 года назад

Here they are very common as it is the only variant that qualifies for our rebate

Is there enough space under the cargo floor to fit an aftermarket compact spare tire?

@jamesfromwellington 2 года назад

I would say probably not. Also that would be a bad option for a 2000kg vehicle.

This car interior has more cheap plastic parts than my 1995 Renault Clio! 😲🤔 They've also roll the car out of the factory prematurely and forgot to put the logo emblem on the steering wheel; instead opting for horizontal holes! 🙄🤔 I'd probably skip this base model... But alternatively I will look at the *BMW i3, or better yet, the BMW i4!*
