In this video I talk about my top 5 favorite things about my 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 AWD Limited in Shooting Star Grey after 2 weeks and 800 miles. Link to subscribe to the channel for future videos: ru-vid.com... #Hyundaiioniq5 #ioniq5
I’m amazed at how good your videos are. Perfectly structured and speech is crystal clear and concise. Then you have the summary at the end, nice for visual people. Keep it up!
Wow thanks so much Kevin! I really appreciate that! I'm all new to this so still trying to figure things out on the fly. Hopefully the videos continue to get better!
Oh wow, that's interesting. Do you remember if there was a car in front? I'm wondering if the chime that was heard was the 'vehicle in front is pulling away' chime which also shows a notification in the gauge cluster and blue flashing arrows on the heads up display. I've seen that one but to my knowledge the Ioniq 5 doesn't come equipped with traffic light detection tech. Though I hope I'm wrong because that would be great if it is there =)
I rented Ioniq 5 in South Korea and I remember this young child who could not take his eyes off the car. This car has that kind of affect on people; young and younger. Thank you for the images.
Quality and fair review of your likes. Got over 2000 miles on my Limited AWD now...agree with all of your points. There isnt an EV in this price range that I would rather have at the moment.
@@CarsJubilee I think I drive quite a bit. Ive had it for about 3-4 weeks now. Think I got the first one in my state! I live in a rural area so have to drive 25 miles to the nearest major city or 10 miles to nearest town. Still the ioniq is suiting my needs perfectly fine. I just wish the charging infastructure here in Ohio wasnt so bad.
@@wtfx5757oooh I see, we must have gotten ours around the same time. Mine was February 24th and I've got 1200 miles. Also hoping the charging infrastructure continues to grow!
Thanks for your comments and evaluation. I’ve got an Ioniq 5 Limited on order. Production was to be in May 2022 and I was just notified by Hyundai it’s now been delayed until July 2022, which means I probably won’t see it until September. I’m excited to get mine! Any further videos and comments are welcome!
Sorry to hear that, I had a hard enough time just waiting 2 weeks and tracking the progress for my original car from at sea to the dealer so I can only imagine the anticipation! I've really enjoyed it and I think you'll be happy once it finally arrives, worth the wait. More videos to come to keep you occupied!
@@josephlandon7388 in the US we can't place orders. Some dealers will hold an incoming car for you for a deposit but otherwise it's first come first serve at the dealerships. I'm guessing you live in Canada as that matches the timeline and ordering process that I've heard about over there.
@@eddyisenberg4046 That's not good news. I was hoping mine would be here in late August or early (very early)September. Based on your experience I am looking at delivery in December or January. That is not good news at all....
That's great to hear! Which trim did you buy? I think the SE and SEL are really good deals with what they offer, plus same motors and performance. The Limited is a bit pricey but I do enjoy the panoramic roof.
Another reviewer did some 0-60 testing with the 3 different modes. Eco 0-60 around 7.5sec Normal 0-60 I think was around 5sec Sport 0-60 around 4.8sec Eco is more than enough for me most of the time but it's super convenient to switch quickly if needed.
Hi thank you for your tips on voice recognition. I was wondering how to turn on heated steering wheel. Question if I'll k my keys in car do the door unlock
You're welcome! Heated steering wheel command: turn on heated steering wheel That should do the trick, let me know if it doesn't for work you. The car stays unlocked typically unless you lock it yourself. You can lock it using another key or using bluelink or digital key apps. But if you just have the one key on you and leave it in the car and then try to lock the car using the door handle sensor, it won't let you lock it.
Hi good review, very helpful. Currently driving a 2020 Fully Electric Kona and have a 2023 Ionic 5 on order but RWD Namsam. Because drive mode button placement in the Kona is not great, I dive in eco in towns and normal on motorways and open a/b roads. Driving like you indicate mostly in eco and using the regeneration what mpKh are you getting?
Thanks Stuart! My typical avg is 4 mi/kWh and I've seen/heard others that are getting better than that. So many different factors at play. I live in a pretty hilly area so lots of uphill driving and I do a lot of stop and go driving in the city.
I do something similar to stop in the Volt by holding down the regen lever until I hit 2-3 MPH then apply the brakes. The blended regen braking really does the same thing. Press on the brake pedal and the car automatically varies regen based on pressure/ Does the Ioniq do this? You can tell by watching the KWH display going negative.
If I hold the left regen paddle that forces it into max regen mode so it's equivalent to being in one pedal driving mode at that point. If I remember right, how hard I press the brake pedal does provide different amounts of regen. The right section in the gauge cluster has a realtime power usage/regen display. Does the volt have some kind of button or lever that allows you to adjust the regen level or is it an on/off lever?
@@CarsJubilee It's on/off but there is a L mode in the transmission selector which is like level 3 regen so when you combine the two it's almost one-pedal. I usually drive in L mode in the city
My Limited is in. I’m waiting for it to be ready. I think the voice prompts is an awesome thing since we then do not have to scroll through screens. However, I had Apple CarPlay going and I found that when I said driver’s seat ventilation .. Siri responded and the car did not. Have you found this or a way around it?
I'll have to check this later but I saw someone say it depends how long you hold the voice recognition button? Maybe a quick press activates the car's system and a long hold activates siri/google?
I had to look up what the Jake brake was, I've definitely heard it in use and now I know what they were doing haha. Definitely see the similarities there, luckily the ioniq 5 is dead quiet when I use the paddles :)
My favorite feature of the ioniq 5 I own for 15 days : super fast charging. From 15% to 85% in 25 minutes at 10°C or 50° F... impatient to test in summer
Good luck finding one. There are none in a lot of places, many are not open 24/7, and they are often occupied since there's only one charger. Tesla has trip planner in the NAV which gives directions to go anywhere with power to spare to a fast charging location with at least 8 chargers open 24/7. The regen breaking on the Ioniq has to be reset every time you get in the car which sucks.
Definitely need to consider where you live when considering which EV so good point. In the states if you live near an EA station then you should be okay, you just may not find a 350kw stationed. I live walking distance to my local 150kw EA station and have never had more than 1 other car charging at the same time as me. As far as I know all EA stations are 24/7. The regen braking reverts to level 3 each time you start the car which is a little annoying. But the fact that we can change regen levels on fly with paddles is pretty awesome so it's just a matter of remembering to hit the +paddle before departing.
@@CarsJubilee hopefully Huyndai will improve the car settings with OTA update. Personally I use all the time i-Pedal except on highway where I leave level 3 when no traffic.
Hi sorry if you have already answered this but what is this car like to charge compared to a Tesla? And are the electrify America chargers as bad as people say?
Unfortunately that's a really complex answer. Depends on climate (preheating is not available yet but should be coming soon in an update), what chargers are available to you nearby and what kind of driving you plan to do. In cold weather without preheating yet, 30 minute free sessions get me about 25 kwh. If weather is slightly warmer or battery is warm from lots of driving, I can get around 50 kwh (battery is 77kwh just for reference). This is all done at my local EA 150kwh charger which is very new and works great. But that's the only charger I've used. Lastly my daily commute is only 20-30 miles typically so I don't need a big charge everyday and I don't do big road trips so I don't need a big charging network. All in all, I think the potential is there for this to be as good as Tesla in terms of charging because the tech is there for higher speeds once the network catches up. But right here right now it's not quite on par.
Hey! I noticed that you have a Volvo XC60. I currently have a V90 T8 and I’m leaning to switch to a Ioniq 5. Since you have both, any recommendations you would like to give it to me? Mainly the build quality, riding and sound system comparison between both vehicles. Thanks and keep up the great and informative videos!
I don't know exactly how close I can compare since I've never been in a T8 or v90 but in terms of ride quality or NVH it feels comparable to my XC90 T6. It's actually slightly quieter than the XC90 at lower speeds but slightly louder at freeway speeds. Build quality is excellent but Volvo definitely uses much more premium materials. I think Hyundai did an excellent job making everything look nice even if materials aren't premium especially with the light color interior. B&W sound system is way better than the limited trim Bose but with some tuning of the EQ, I've found the Bose system to be perfectly fine and usable. The most surprising thing for me is the interior space/feel. It feels bigger on the inside than my XC90.
@@godinhotube Since mine is a T6, I would 100% pick the Ioniq 5 over it. Never driven a T8 so hard to say with that one. Seems like you get the best of both (longer range, quicker fill up) but can still use electric only when the driving conditions make sense. At least for my family, we don't do long distance road trips and this Ioniq 5 is my daily driver which is mostly city driving 20-30 miles per day. I've seen a lot of owners do mostly freeway miles. I think the drivers assistance tech is better in the Ioniq 5 though camera quality isn't as good. But then you have to factor in charging situation. Cold climate plus long daily commute means you many need more than the 30 minute free charge to have enough for the next day (though supposedly you may be able to plug back in immediately without the 1 hr wait between sessions). Hopefully that makes sense, I live walking distance to my charger and I have shorter daily commutes so using the free chargers has been a non issue. Or if you plan to charge at home then also a non issue.
Is it absolutely necessary to go through the various steps while driving in the e-braking mode (re-gen system) or you can select your favourite step and stick with it?
@@CarsJubilee also if you hold the left pedal, it will put it in max regen until you release, which might be more convenient than always clicking through the modes.
Yupp that's true, I find that way to be a bit abrupt since it initiates full regen immediately but I do use that occasionally if I don't have enough time to swap through the levels. I'm glad they added it!
It's really varied depending on what kind of roads I'm driving and how gentle I'm driving. Strictly freeway at steady 65mph speeds I'm right around 3 to 3.5 miles/kwh. But city street driving or traffic conditions I'm around 5 miles/kwh. I have a pretty good mix of freeway and city/traffic, plus I do enjoy the quick acceleration here and there so that puts me around 3.5 miles/kwh in my 800+ miles so far. About 350 miles of that was from bringing the car back across a few states on high speed freeways/turnpikes.
@@CarsJubilee Thanks for the info. I saw another video by a recent owner and his dash showed 2.8 lifetime which seems really low. My Tesla MY gets 3.85 over my 8000 miles of ownership. I might switch it up but was concerned about the efficiency.
@@peterfriedman3745 I can attest to getting a range of exactly 300 miles (1%/ 3 miles left on range) on one charge. This happened during a three day back and forth commuting to work. I think i could have brought that range up to 330 miles if i would have driven the car straight during one day. Of course i was driving it very conservatively at 58 to 60 mpg on probably 95% freeway driving. Get this mine is a SEL AWD model. I did get these 300 miles all on ECO driving mode. Upon recharging back up to 100 % it read a range of 306 miles. I have the pictures to prove my statements. I now have 4600 miles on the odometer after driving it about 32 days since new. It's a great car to own.
Be careful about those door edge bumper. I had them on my truck and previous cars, they did good job but leaves glue that's hard to clean after a few years.
Thanks for the heads up! I've got the sticky side on the inside of the door so hopefully will be less noticeable if it's hard to get off. They have the non sticky kind that I've used before but those only come in solid colors which just didn't look right with my matte paint color.
@1:14 why do you have all those bolts in front of you ironic? I dont? Also why are you doing so much shifting with IPedal you really dont need to do that with city driving you can just drive in iPedal
Those are the license plate screws, I bought it in New York where front plates are mandatory so the dealer had installed the front plate holder. Haven't decided what I'm going to do yet, maybe paint them to match. If I go through the levels using the paddles, I'm able to bring the car to a complete stop without my foot on either pedal. The ipedal level is more convenient in heavy traffic or if I'm not really engaged but that requires me to use right foot non stop. I average about 1.5 - 2 hours of local driving each day and my right foot gets tired (ruptured achilles about 9 months ago) so maybe it's a matter of building that muscle back up. But otherwise I find it fun to use the paddles to bring the car to a complete stop as well. I'm sure many people will prefer to just leave it in ipedal so just personal preference but I'm glad Hyundai gave us options.
I wasn't really in the market for a new car until late January of this year. I lucked out and was able to jump on one that was sitting at a dealer lot in late February.
Ya didn't cross my mind until I saw it, the car had been sitting on their lot for 2 weeks already. Otherwise if I had gotten to it right off the truck I might have been able to stop them. On the plus side when I parallel park people are tapping/scraping those plastic screws instead of my bumper. That's why I didn't screw them all the way in.
So far so good, if you are used to handwashing your car then it's the same. If you are used to going through machine car washes then you would need to decide if you want to take the risk. I've heard people going through machine washes without issue so long as you make sure you pick a non wax wash option. This matte paint feels very smooth, almost satin like finish.
Yupp holding the left paddle is an option as well. That initiates max regen and feels the same as ipedal mode with full lift off so it's pretty aggressive and abrupt. I go through the levels purposely, to create a smooth and gradual brake feel inside so that I'm not lurching or making myself and others in the car uncomfortable. In most cases people in the car wouldn't even know that I'm not using the brake pedal because the transition between levels is that smooth. Sometimes that last transition to ipedal can be a little abrupt still, I've gotten a feel for when that might happen so I actually have my foot on the accelerator a tiny bit to help smooth out the stop. This regen system has so many options and different ways to drive it. Everyone can tinker with it and figure out what they prefer. That's why I think it's so awesome.
@@CarsJubilee Yep versatility is strong in this one! 👍What I usually do is to put it in lv. 1 regen mode, and when coming to a stop, depress the gas pedal a little earlier than usual (than when in ICE car), and then use the + paddle as a full brake. After taking a few time to getting use to, it would almost feel the same as normal braking (without abrupt deceleration) as using brake pads! But, it can't beat smart cruise control's stop and go function (with i-pedal on) though. So much convenient than using pedals and paddles haha. It's fascinating how Hyundai came a long way from 80's movie joke - my watch is more expensive than your car! 😅
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has a similar regen braking paddle system. Each one has is pros and cons. I love both. It's taken some getting used to the Hyundai system, and initially I didn't like it as much, but as I figure it out more I like it a lot! The Auto setting is my favourite and being able to hold the left paddle down to come to a stop is really handy. I just wish it would still work when you touch the brakes... but I'm getting used to that.
Oh wow I had no idea the outlander had something similar. Thanks for the heads up! Ya i totally agree on wishing I could change levels while being on the brake pedal. But all in all super happy with it, enjoy your Ioniq 5!
After two months with this amazing car, I have found it infinitely simpler and easier to set the regen to i-pedal and modulate the strength of the regen with my foot on and off the accelerator. Now, it's become totally second nature; I don't even think about it. I only use the paddles to change the setting I want to be on and never to actually change how quickly the car is stopping on the fly.
100% agree, once you get used to i-pedal it's just a more simple way to drive. I find the paddles to be enjoyable and engaging and that's why I still find myself playing around with them. There's something about guessing when I need to hit the paddles in succession to come to a complete stop at the right spot that's just really satisfying when I get it perfectly.
@@garrydenny5405 www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07Y31CBQ7?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title A little pricier than the other ones but I thought it looked nicer
I'm from Philadelphia, but at the time all the local dealers either weren't selling yet or had significant markups. I ended up finding Hyundai 112 in NY selling at MSRP. Here's my video of the buying process for me: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q9NrvnQEFfA.html
In my experience, sport mode is never needed, it's wanted! :-) I only use it when I want to have some serious fun. Otherwise, I just set it and forget it on normal. It's more than enough and faster than 95% of the cars our there.
Hey Ron, there's actually quite a few different reasons not to solely use I-Pedal. If you look for my AWD/RWD video, it explains that I-Pedal forces power to both front and rear motor when accelerating at all speeds. If you are using I-Pedal to maximize efficiency then you don't want to be in I-Pedal except for when braking because there are ways to drive with the front motor disengaged. Another reason is that I enjoy using the paddles, there's an extra level of engagement that I didn't realize would be this enjoyable. Many people enjoy being able to perfect 1 pedal driving, I enjoy perfecting no pedal braking. Meaning I can bring the car to a complete stop using just the regen paddles without any foot input on either pedal. Hope that answers your question! I do still use I-Pedal but it's all situational for me.
I wonder if part of the reason yours is such a head-turner is the satin finish. I have a "plain" BMW, wrapped in a satin-finish blue and I get a lot of head-nods and thumbs up. Couple that with the unique styling of the Ioniq 5, and it's not hard to see why it turns so many heads. I can't wait for ours to arrive. :)
I think you are right, the exterior styling is already very different and then the matte paint really shows off the hard lines. You'll definitely be getting some head-nods and thumbs ups!
You’re not suppose to adjust your Tesla while in autopilot, if you forces fully adjust it than it goes OUT of auto pilot or you can just push break to cancel autopilot. I’ve been driving a model 3 for almost 2 years and not once did I feel the need to adjust anything. If something is not right I just push break to cancel it.
That's good to know, I wish I had more time to play with autopilot during that week. Other than that I thought autopilot was great, especially with recognizing stoplights and automatically changing lanes based on gps destination.
Ya I've heard so many stories about market conditions in California for the Ioniq 5. If you are willing to travel cross country, New York seems to be the best bet - that's where I got mine. But that'd be one heck of a drive back or you'd have to ship it back.
It's all hypothetical, I don't rent out my Ioniq 5. But if I buy the GV60 I would need to rent it out to balance the monthly costs. I'm not sure there's enough people interested in my area to charge in the $200/day range but that would be great if there are
Yupp my first EV. The only prior experience I had was having a model 3 standard plus as a rental for one week. That gave me a good preview of EV life and from then on it was just waiting for the right opportunity to get one.
I-pedal locks the car into AWD which is bad for efficiency. The car can disengage the front motor under certain conditions only if you are not in I-pedal. I also do about 2 hours of city driving everyday and find I-pedal to be quite tiring. I prefer to keep my foot off the pedal as often as possible. I have a video up that discusses why I-pedal is bad for efficiency and then a 2 part series covering how I drive with the paddles and why I do it if you are interested to learn more.
