Ioniq 5 - Drive Review, Acceleration, Autobahn 

Your real world driving experience is more useful to potential customers than the road tests by journalists; thanks for sharing with us. 😎

I think Chris was having fun! Cheers for the review.

6,1 seconds in wet road is just awesome IMHO

I like the layout of your video 🙂. Very nice to see the whole dashboard and main display as well as your driving position while you comment on the car’s behavior and performance. “Amazing” 😀👍

Thanks for this amazing video. There were lots of information for me.

This car is phenomenal in many ways and is perfect for a family. Better looking, technologically more advanced, and more unique than ID4, Enyaq or even Tesla model Y. I believe these are it's main competitors. I am surprised a bit with bad consumption (considering it is a Hyundai), but now seeing how you drive it, I understand. :D It had better consumption than Enyaq in a big Norway test (503 km until it died), so I suppose those cars also would also not do well in these conditions combined with your driving. Yeah I know you had cruise control in that range test, but still.... Some comments in the video are really nitpicky, and structure is a bit chaotic, but overall a nice review considering the limited time with a car.

My favourite Ioniq 5 review.

So many tidbits of information - and so much fun. What's not to like about Chris's testing 👍

Well done on the scoop

Thank you for the review.

I really like this car! I can't wait to see what's available in a few years that could replace our Forester.

Loved the video. It was fun.

Thanks for an informative and honest (good + bad) review. This seems like a great car. My only worry is the issue with the lack of a rear wiper.

Rear wiper, please. Well done, Cristiano! 👍🏻😺

Great video chris

haha great laughter when u spin the wheels! xD very useful video as well=)

There is so many setting possible in this car, you might find what you want. I have seen for exemple that you can have a smart setting that adapt the reaction to how you drive, so you can choose to have limited power in eco, and normal, and full in sport, or choose that the car adapte itself to you, and be more reactive even if you are in eco mod for exemple if you have an energic way to drive. I guess that you don't have to change the drive mod that much then. I think that I would prefer for me to decide because otherwise I will drive always energic even if I wanted to save energy in the first place. 😁

Good to see more critical reviews coming out.

Really great video! way more actual user feedback than others and I really like your multi angle composition, thanks for this. I'm currently considering ordering one of these and am unsure about some of the Usability factors vs the Tesla model 3 - really interested to know how you feel about that back window situation? I'm in the UK and we have a lot of rain!

Nice 👍. I ordered an Ioniq 5 and cannot wait to get it!! 🤗

Meant to ask, were the regen modes still equally functional after you had charged it, or is it like a Tesla and you need to run it down a bit before regen braking works well?

Thank you for the new video. I just saw in a different video that there is a setting for automatic speed ajustment at speed limits. Did you check it and does it really work like with the ID.3?

Good review. No goofing off.

Are the basic Leds any good? Have maybe night drive video

Die 51 kWh/100Km haben mich sprachlos gemacht. Rekupiert der Frontmotor mit, wenn er im ecomodus (rwd only) fährt? Bin gespannt wie der ev6 abgestimmt wird. Warum hat KIA/ioniq kein variables Fahrwerk?

I was wondering, can you have the backup camera on while you drive?

Do you need to use the START / STOP Button to start driving and stop driving or is it like the ID3 where you can chose ?

Going for a test drive tomorrow at the local Hyundai dealer. Ireland 🇮🇪

Fantastic video Chris! I was hoping that the rear window would clean off at speed guess not!

do you know if the new ioniq ev line up 5, 6, and 7 are going to replace the plug-in and hybrid models? or will Hyundai continue to create a 2022 plugin and hybrid model?

Love it!! Could U Please try on dry road for next video . ?

Are you sure there isn't a button on the steering wheel for turning the lane assist OFF? It looks like the same system on my new i30 and you can either turn it off from the menu, or more easily from the wheel.

I live in the prairies where the winter can be brutal, I'll closely watch how they'll improve their EV architecture and software for the next few years. I would really love a small electric pickup.

Thanks. I do enjoy your style of testing... consumer test rather than car journalist or racer review. Would you choose this over your ID3 and why? Is it more or less refined/ quiet on the motorway? Many thanks!

Lovely car bit big for us love our fun i3 wish BMW develop it! great to see more BEVs

Quick question: what kWh version are you driving, because you said Polestar 2, TM3 and XC40 had better acceleration? But the Ioniq 5 with 72,6 kWh dual-motor has 225 kW/306 HP, and 605 Nm, going 0-100 kph in 5,2 sec. So it should feel faster right?

Would you get an Ioniq 5 long range or an ID.3 Pro S for daily driving? Which is most comfortable and economical/ecological in the long run?

Are there any larger cars you’ve tested that are completely stable at 140-160kph in the rain? ID4? Also did you have all the traction control things turned off when you were testing the 0-100 speeds? If not I would imagine the delay at the start is it figuring out how it’s going to launch you without slipping all over the place?

Big fan of this car but the two big negatives I see from your review….the lack of rear wiper and the consumption seems poor. Any possible fix they can do on these as you see it?

I do wonder if some of your reported range issues (albeit at high speed in poor conditions) might be due to that overzealous battery management - seems rather heavy-handed. Perhaps that can be relaxed in software updates going forwards. For now with my next lease change due late November I'm really hoping the BMW i3 gets that possible battery upgrade, the current one does so much well I've found annoying in others! Especially all the digital noises and interference in the Korean cars which are otherwise great!

3:08 that GTR

Author, what total distance had you cover in the video?

Hi there, do you know what kind of roof bars are compatible with the Ioniq 5?

Which do you prefer among this, id3, id4, model3, modelYand kona ev?

Nice car! Nice dashboard. ( still against selfdriving and steering cars) I do like the screens. But i think the steering wheel looks very weird. It’s hard to love.. why is there no logo? And it’s also a 2 point wheel .. like we had in cheap cars in the 80s..

I would have hoped you tested the self driving features of this car too. It's fun to drive sporty but 95% of the time you just want to engage self driving on the high way or in traffic jams and relax :).

Do you turn on heating rear window? That usually helps

6:50 They should design the rear window with water removal by airflow, even at cost of worse coefficient drag. Old Citroen Xantia hatchback (Cx 0.33) shows it's effective - the waterdrops magically disappear over 60 km/h in few minutes; at autobahn speed in less than minute. Even on heavy rain. Tested!

Between this car and the Volvo XC40, what would you say are the pro/con of each car compared to each other?

How is the headroom? How tall ate you?

Nice

The constant whiteness of the two screens would do my eyes and head in before long. Is there a 'dark mode'?

I can see that in the future they were gonna be a lot of crashes caused by people tinkering with their touchscreens

Great, practical review. I was planning to purchase this car to replace my Niro EV, but you twice mentioned the lack of rear wiper and that's a deal-breaker for me. It rains and snows here and no aero spoiler is going to properly clear a window at 80km/h.

You may want to RainX the rear window to help with visibility.

Thx for sharing. Does it driver better than a Tesla Model Y ? Also, there is no wiper on the rear window because the rear upper spoiler blows it off (at least it’s supposed to). Cheers 👍

Selecting stuff in the screen looks obnoxiously slow! Why is there such a big lag?

What a brilliant vehicle and its cousin, the Kia Ev6, look like real players for the EV market & auto market in general. The rear windshield is a problem though for both vehicles. I know you generally don't use the rear wipers often but when you do use them it's because you need them. I live where it snows & if the wind doesn't get rid of the rain it's definitely not getting rid of the snow.

How reliable is the lane-centering tech on freeways for long drives (highway driving assist)? I am looking for an EV for road trips with reliable semi-autonomous tech..!

Question: what would you order if you were me, I have an opportunity to order the ID 4 or a EV6 ?

in the ev market, the hyundai makes different value of the car. forget about the gasoline cars they make from now on . the new ear just has started for hyundai. they will beat the japanese cars.

I am waiting for the Ioniq 5 Long Range RWD here in Canada . Just hoping the pricing comes in where I need it to be and hopefully it qualifies for our $3K & 5K provincial and federal rebates. Really love the style overall, seems quite solid, just hope it is not too big of a car as I don't need that myself. "If you are a bit bigger" points at gut, lets just say it, if you are fat and overweight lol. FUN ALL THE TIME Thanks for this review

It's funny to see the retro styling extends to the HUGE bezels around the two screens.

what will ioniq5 do if i don't touch the steering wheel even after the call .... stop at the side of the road?

Hi, great video, i wonder if is this dual motor or single motor. thanks

Hold down the lane assist button on the steering wheel to turn it off

I agree with you that screen surround needs to be black.

What drives better, ID.3/ID.4 or the Ioniq 5?

wht is regen

dream car

It would have been helpful to know which model of Ioniq 5 you were testing... I've ruled out the SE CONNECT model with Rear wheel drive 58KWh battery 170hp...So PREMIUM... or ULTIMATE... REAR WHEEL DRIVE OR ALL WHEEL DRIVE. which is the difference of 217hp 73KWh battery...comparred to 306hp..73KWh battery. Good review otherwise.

In Kona my21 you can turn the lane assist off from the steering wheel by holding "lane assistant button" for 5 seconds. Have to do it every time the car is started. I assume ioniq 5 should have the same

09:58 Keep your distance!!! And thanks for a great video.

Can you do a test in hot condition? Something like in Southern Cali? This car can do 0-60 in 5.1 sec in sunny conditions.

I absolutely loved this car as soon as they announced it but i feel like the infotainment screen is to little?!

You can just hold the lane assist button in for 3 sec on the wheel and it turns off.

Das mit der Heckscheibe ohne Scheibenwischer verunsichert mich etwas. Ist es sehr schlimm?

Is a garage door opener offered?

yes my honda E also has a second for nothing to happen, then it goes.... strange they do the same thing, but most of the time you are moving when you want to accelerate anyway, so not a big deal and prevents wheel spin and killing children on the road perhaps..

👍‍‍😎👍‍‍

Is this a version with a heat pump?

How tall are you and did you ever touch your hair on the roof in this non-sunroof ride??

That rearview thing is also super annoying in the ioniq

Why do reviewers always want sporty, firm suspension? Do they think that all consumers are sports car enthusiasts?

Currently one of the best electric cars on the market.

Is the official 0-100 5,2sec? And this was 6,13?

I can not agree with your review, I drove the same model yesterday also on the Autobahn in the sport-modus not only up to 150 km/h, I drove up to its maximum speed 185 km/h and my impression was, that this car ist absolut stable at this speed, there was no "feeling of uncertainty" or what so ever (my present car is a BMW 5 and the safety-feeling at high speed is very good), the suspension is by far better than the suspension of my BMW, it is more comfortable, but stable on the road and the acceleration is fantastic in 5,2 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, that are results of supersportscars 25 years ago, if that is too less for you ....... but the most wrong comment of you was the statement, that your VW ID 3 has similar accelaration as the Ionic 5 allweeldrive, that is not true at all.

Interesting review! Although I find it funny how often the word power is used for a 2 something tonne electric carriage. I found the power reserve more than adequate and never felt like I need more. And sporty, another pointless characteristic in a sensible car. I wouldn't think of the ioniq5 as a sports car, so I think wanting that is a bit pretentious. I did drive sportier cars, and ended up with crippling back pain.

When you drive in sport mode, then it´s normal that the roads feel more bumpy. Try the normal mode and it will feel better/softer.

Börn has to wait until end July before he gets the Ionic 5, he was very unhappy about it.

Gone are the days of just getting in and driving

It's crazy lane assist doesn't have a button, on small roads modern cars are undriveable with lane assist ON !!!

Tesla great job, max speed, range especially. Still prefer, being in Europe, comfort. 99% of my trips are within 200kms one way. I WANT ventilated seats, Android Auto, and HUD. Also like reclining seats with foot rest and reclining console for arms rest, all electronic aids especially against collisions, automated parking (Executive version), blind spot cams on dashboard when turning, V2L, sun shades integrated in back doors, sunroof shade, wide space available inside with good visibility through the back window etc. Also 5 year car warranty illimited kms (Max 80 000 for Tesla... Reliability issues?), and 8 year battery warranty (same as Tesla).

170 while raining. me : cannot over 70 while raining.

Why the delay? This is not proper behavior, something must be wrong.

There’s a ‘sport mode’ of course… that is your OMG mode…

Changing driving mode while accelerating is not ideal because every mode has a different gas pedal setting response so if you are pressing let's say 30% in eco mode and switch to sport mode , the same amount of pedal pression is corresponding to a different map let's say 40,% , so always better to change mode while decelerating or with a very light pressure ( this on the Kona but i think it's no different on this new Ioniq)

Just my two cents. Maybe have consumption values on drivers screen, would be nkce to see what the consumption is on different speeds, now it is just pretty much useless info what wheels get the power. 🙂

I think you can use a voice command to turn of driver assistance instead of going through the menu every time

I test a Intuitive 73kwh 218ch on my channel, it's a so great car !
