Hyundai IONIQ 5: The Complete Package | MotorTrend 

So many people bashing on Motor Trend for making the right choice. Geez. Maybe they didn't see that this also won World Car of the Year which is voted on by 82 auto journalists from around the world. I guess they are all wrong and all the keyboard warriors who have barely even seen the car in person nevermind drive it are right.

As a tall person i love the flat floor and steering wheel mounted shifter. A godsend in a world of giant center consoles.

You know what I love most about the EV revolution? Rear wheel drive is making a comeback!

This review is very pleasant to watch. Well done!

I owned one for 5 months, and I agree with you that it is a great compact SUV. The interior space is higher than much larger ICE SUVs, or EV SUVs built on an ICE architecture. It’s a lot nicer than most people would imagine both driving wise, and interior quality wise. But it is incredibly difficult to find in anything but the base spec without major markups. Numerous Genesis dealers don’t do markups. So once the GV60 Advanced becomes more available, I’d recommend that over the Limited AWD Ioniq. It has a much more luxurious interior, and more buttons for things that you have to use the screen for in the Ioniq, such as the seat heater/ventilation. At $60k, it’s only $4k more than the MSRP of the Ioniq Limited AWD pre markup.

And not one single bad thing about the car, incredible that Hyundai made the perfect electric vehicle!

So crazy y’all filmed this at Otay lake! Right where I used to walk every single night! Awesome!

The IONIQ is a good looking vehicle inside and out. I agree with the reviewer it does have retro styling cues mixed with a modern flair that are appealing. As small to mid-sized electric vehicles are concerned, its a complete opposite direction in the styling department from the category leader Toyota Prius. Albeit the 2023 arrow-head-like redesign of the Prius is quite a looker. But non-the-less, both are appealing in their own way. It's just a matter if you want a 'car' or 'SUV'.

Would love to see a video on how to expose the tow hitch? Does it come as standard?

What bike rack is that ?

Seen them in So Cal, love the look.

Did he just look me in the face and say “like your moms minivan?” 1:01

Love it ⚡️

With the rear seat folded down, does your bicycle fit inside?

Congratulations 🎊 🎄

Sure would have been nice to show more of the interior you kept raving about.

hyundai IONIQ always pampers customers and always updates every year, the best in my opinion is Hyundai

It is but you fail to mention the extreme lack of supply. Dealers wont even take deposits for them. Its a 2yr plus wait to get one im North America. No sense pumping up a car you cannot get.

Driving around San Diego

their are not a lot of charging stacios what happens when you need to charge and their are no staions around

I am really not into sport SUV. Until i saw this.... if i ever want to own a compact SUV. This would be it.

good looking car

Like every other electric car, the only ones that get to save money already have money and can afford an electric car. lol.

In Indonesia 1000 unit sold per month

I love everything about this vehicle except i am impatient and have anxiety so wait for it to charge will suck .....I cant go to new york from california without having to park for awhile to charge ugh

I like it!

They should have a full size and compact size category. The fact that this one “overall” SUV of the year is what most people are having a problem with (I think). A compact SUV is really a hatchback or city car and should not be categorized with a full size SUV capabilities.

Once the Ioniq 5 is on the NACS network it will be nearly the perfect car.

Gonna talk about that maintenence cost on the coolant? Awesome styling but there's a catch. Look it up.

Kinda weird video to make given that Hyundai in the US and UK call and market it as a CUV, a crossover, and not an SUV...

Love everything about it but I'm not going electric yet.

Love this thing but useless in Canada where I live.

The whole video over I was afraid to see the guy in his bicycle outfit.

How did he test this an suv? Did u even ride that bike? Reason why u didnt put the bike in the roof because u cant reach.

Lol so many people are butthurt that this car wins awards.

I love the Ioniq 5, but SUV is a bit of a stretch.

I wish they made a hybrid version. That is really nice-looking car and I would but it if I had the money

So wait, by MT’s definition all wagons are SUVs too…?

At the end, it looks like my guy should have definitely took the bike.

Why does everything have to be an SUV these days? This would have been a great hatchback, probably 10% more range with the improved aerodynamics. I hate this stupid SUV craze.

Interesting video. Thanks for the information. But you're wrong about the price. You gave suggested prices, but the dealers (EVERY ONE) is tacking on anywhere from $12 to $20 thousands (YES THOUSAND) more because of the demand. On top of that, NOBODY has one they will let you test drive. You have to put a deposit down, put your name on a waiting list, and you are offered whatever comes in (several months down the road). No customization, no choices really. It's a joke. No matter how good, pretty, cost-saving, etc it is, the dealerships have made it impossible to recommend one until they dispense with this nonsense.

The main question that no one talks about is what happens to the battery as time goes on? In 3 years, would it have the same performance and charging speed/capability?

please stop calling that off roading. its rough roading, that is a poorly maintained road not "off road." this level of "offroadability" should be easy for anything that isnt a stanced and slammed civic.

It's a super cool car, but to call it an SUV? It has 1" more ground clearance than a Mazda 3. 🤔

It’s a hatch back. Looks like Motortrend is really stretching to appeal to a slim market.

This is a *HATCHBACK* . Not a SUV.

Nice station wagon.

Nice golf cart, the improvements keep coming.

They’ll double the range 2 years from now

“Your moms minivan” lol

Can’t have an automobile review without the word “architecture”. Check!

not an suv at all but a great car indeed

not even an SUV

It's a retro 80s look. No, they stole the headlights from the 90s Cutlass Supreme.

That limited is a lot of money for a Hyundai. Still, not a bad car

IF you go off roading and go over - let's say a rock - that is a bit high - there goes your battery and your SUV is totaled.

Is this a joke? Try towing with it

All these reviews are pointless. It could be the best car in the world but if you can't buy one who cares. Dealer inventory is practically nil and any available have at least a $10k markup.

Tow a 2k pound boat and the range will be 30 miles

thats not a suv.

I saw this vehicle and didn’t like the overall design

SUV? What are you smoking?

What you say about my momma

Motor Trend, Yahoo Finance, companies like that are advertisers to the biggest bidder, whoever pays them they'll advertise for and give their awards to. The viewers/consumer's best interest is not what they care about

Great...still not an SUV though.

Not a SUV

I don't like that he never mentioned PRICE!!!

Is this one going to catch on fire

Didn't think a bike ride was in your future; doesn't look like it was part of your past.

Second

Not to be insensitive, but Aaron really should think about that beer belly he's got. Not healthy.

Cash money that guy does not bike.

First

All-Electric vehicles only work for a certain segment of buyers; people who drive shorter distances and live in warmer climates. A vehicle that's selected for "best in class" should be the all-arounder for everyone, not for a certain segment.

Not much different than a Tesla

What in the world did this video prove? You drove it and charged it with a bike on the back. That proves it's a SUV??

Talking about 80s is funny because those were horrible years for anything, what does fast charging have to do with an SUV? 2300lbs of towing and you have a bike? Motor trend you should be ashamed.

I’m sure it’s nice, but why are you all buying this ev nonsense? Not only is the electric grid that charges the battery powered mostly by carbon based fuels, but guess what gasses the disposed batteries release…carbon monoxide! This isn’t even getting into the horrors of lithium mining. With the greatest respect, you’re all being forced to buy a new generation of vehicles based on false pretenses, because evs make the carbon issue worse, not better.

It is wrong this car gets so much coverage when it is almost 100 miles less than a Tesla and just as much money.

Don't buy over priced EVs. The question to be asked is do you go on long road trips often, if yes go with ones with higher charging speed, if not just buy BOLT EUV, it is around $22K after tax rebate. It is the cheapest EV you can buy with 247 miles of range and road noise is less than Tesla at higher speeds.

I bet he never rode that bike. Why is it on there? I have a small ICE hatch and my 29er fits inside, wheels on! It's as if he is trying for a cross-fit theme, but I can tell there is no "fit"

Suv. Lmao. That’s a modern Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon hatch.

Electric cars will not be viable until you can exchange your battery to a bigger capacity without issue. You can keep your 20 year old pickup truck because you only need to add fuel. After 20 years your electric car will be unusable. There needs to be the same battery connectors and size for many manufacturers.

So that’s 18 minutes every time you charge. What a waste of life! And for gods sake you’re merely quoting the manufacturer’s hopelessly optimistic figures. I have a car with similar automatic features and there are many times it is plain dangerous especially the collision avoidance. This isn’t a review it’s simply a Hyundai advert.

Exterior looks good, interior looks so cheap and tacky with those glossy panels

And I am glad that I will buy a fully loaded 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV SEL Premium anyway.

this guy needs to hit the gym

This hatchback is trying to identify as an SUV, sorry not buying it!

The complete package with 150 mile range

Hyundai is missing out big time on $7500 ev credit. I would have bought it but had to get BOLT EUV instead.

...... from the same people that gave 'Ford Lighting EV' vehicle of the year. Your integrity is GONE.

My mom was in an accident with her Ioniq 5. I was on the right passenger seat. A car was speeding past us and bumped lightly to our right. As a result, the bumper was completely torn off. It really soured me on electric vehicles. The construction quality of these things seems laughable. I'm sticking to fuel cars for sure.

Nah Tesla model Y still the best for me. Tesla have the best battery technology.

7 minute contains exactly 30 seconds of info about off-roading. Fail.

Motor Trend, not only praising EV's, but a damned HYUNDAI lmao.Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

So the unimpressive lightning and now this ev pos. You're bought out bias is showing

suv of the year?? You guys have been smoking crack..give hunter a pass next time you see him in the alley.

These cars are already dying on every driveway in North America. Death traps. Ive had 2 Ioniq 5's in 7 months. Both had wiring issues resulting in complete failure. Luckily they both malfunctioned on my driveway and not while the family was in them. Stay the F away from this one guys. Lemons.

Literally everything this car does, the Model Y does it better. Range, charging network, towing capacity….etc

Was this supposed to be a joke. Almost any SUV with a gas engine would be a better choice. 250 miles of range for a road trip is a spit in the face. Motor trends credibility is out the window lately. How much are you guys being payed to push electric now?
