NEW Hyundai Ioniq 5 review - ALL changes in detail | What Car? 

I think it's interesting that the solution for no rear wiper was to implement a rear view camera with and output display incorporated into a two-way mirror type screen embedded into the rear view mirror. Instead of like, adding a rear wiper for instance...

"We made a car with no rear window wiper, and we heard your complaints about not being able to see a bloody thing, so now we've installed a camera and a display in the rear view mirror! All this for only £50 grand!" Why can't we just have a goddamn wiper and save £1,000?

Drove this recently from London to Italy and back. Super comfortable and fun.

Getting one as company car .. it just so happened that the guy who ordered it left so it was available.. it’s £30 a month tax compared to £250 odd for my 1.5 VW Golf .. no brainier 💪

Of course they took stuff away from when it first launched too. Some safety systems were removed, the automatic pop out door handles got removed from all but the top spec and V2L is now an option where previously it was standard.

“A lot of new tough competitors emerging…” :: shows a picture of the BZ4X :: 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I understand the original didn’t have wireless Apple CarPlay and only had USB-A outlets. Has there been an update to this?

I forgot what car it was (A Lexus or Acura SUV of some sort) I saw recently that had a wiper deploy DOWNWARD from the same sort of top spoiler the IONIQ 5 has, making it invisible when not in use. So, if the IONIQ 5's lack of rear spoiler is a design choice, why don't they just do THAT?

Hyundai is really impressive recently they’ve upped their game big time in design, quality and features across all their cars. Only thing going for Tesla is their software and AI.

The model 3 better interior quality? You serious?

Why do you keep comparing this to the Model 3 when the Model Y is the car in the same class?

I really wish Hyundai made a hybrid version. Still not ready for battery anxiety.

What would make it "even better" would be for it to be much more affordable, too much money for most, means low volumes and doesn't push on the drive for adoption of zero emissions vehicles.

Very rarely you would charge at home from 0-100%. ABC.. so please I would like to see a little comment when you quote those charging times that you don’t wait until empty, but ABC, so you would plug it in when you get home, maybe every 2-3 days when at 40-50% (depending on daily mileage/needs), which obviously reduce charging times and convenience. We need to educate non EV drivers…

Hyundai's progression, as seen from my POV: 1992: Ha ha ha ha haaaaa!!! I wouldn't drive that junk if it was free! 2002: Yeah, I suppose they're okay, but I'd still rather not 2012: Hyundai? Yeah, I'd consider them 2017: I need a new car and the Hyundai IX35 is a real contender (as is the Kia Sportage, but that's another, very similar, story) 2022: Jesus wept, fifty grand? That's more than my first house! I'd definitely have one, but I just can't afford it...

Got an awd ultimate, best money we've ever spent, awesome car

From the moment the Ioniq 5 went on sale, I looked at it with great interest. What put me off then and now is; (1) the high price (2) the hopeless colour choice. What we need are cheaper EV's.... Not more expensive ones.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why they did not change the screen surrounds to black when they had the chance 😂 The white is just the most awful design choice.

I drive this exact car and it’s been a pleasure

The camera is going to get dirty before the window does. Or does the camera has a cleaning system?

These are UK updates; most of these features were already available in S Korea or other markets.

and at those purchasing prices you will be paying the enhanced rate of yearly vehicle tax for the next 5 years.

That display, though superior to the "monitor slapped on" look, it's still a separate looking thing and jutting up. I'd really prefer a more embedded look. I suspect that will be more ubiquitous in a few years as they refine things.

I must admit, it is great car. However, I would not recommend it to no one. I have bought one Ioniq5 on PCP on September 2021 and car was very good until wind screen crack. Since I have reported it to insurance on the beginning of June I had to wait until and of September because there was no windscreen in UK, and it was “back order”. Fortunately, I was able to drive it. But the real problems were ahead 😪😩. Just before Christmas 2022 on board charger got broken, car was taken to main dealer. I was told that they haven't got parts on shelf because it's back order and I must wait. After two months and two weeks I finally had message from the dealer that they will get the part next week and get the car fixed for me. I was very excited that I'm going to get my car back after two months and two weeks. I forgotten to mention but, in the meantime, they provided me with BMW series one petrol. From the same beginning I told them that I prefer electric cars, but they don't care. However, I was very patient, and I was looking forward to getting my car back. Unfortunately, when the onboard charger arrived at the dealer, they realise they need other parts, and those parts are also on backorder so now it looks like I might not have a car for 5 months. After all that experience with the dealer and lack of the parts for the car they selling I decided to stay away from Hyundai I once and for all and to spread the word to other people not to make the same mistake and become the victim of this dealer. However, if you decided to buy one of those electric Hyundai's I wish you a lot of luck I hope nothing gets broken otherwise you might need to wait long time before you see your car again.

I own an ioniq5. Its a great car! No rear wiper is the defo the biggest gripe with the car. Most of the other things mentioned in the video are very minor.

I got one today love it

In my opinion even much precious. I love this design, shaper.

Like the way you skip over the major downgrade they have made removing the front wing sensors thus downgrading from hda2.0 to hda1.5 Hence why I've had a ev6 on order for the past year, but keeping one eye on the ioniq 6.

Got an ioniq 5. and the worst which is in my mind is that the rear window has no whipers, when it’s raining i see nothing back there

Having lived with the I5 for the past 6 months, I think the only improvements it needs are , a rear window wiper ( the rear vision in any weather other than sunshine is dire) headlight washers and wireless apple play. Bigger battery capacity and charging improvements always welcome too.

One of the best interrior: spacious for legs and seats are reclining in its best

18 month review guys. Beautiful car to drive and to look at. Very comfortable and classy cabin. However I would strongly advise to avoid at all costs. Mine already has had an ICC replacement and multiple electronic failures. It's been back to the dealer multiple times and has caused nothing but frustration and inconvenience. Tbh, I was surprised given all the awards and postive reviews. However, just take a look at the online forums and you'll see the litany of faults and problems with the Ioniq 5. In over 30 years of motoring I've never had such a poor experience with any vehicle. And I'm one of many, many people. Do yourself a favour and avoid at all costs.

The worst thing about these cars is the absurd holes under the dash where you’re meant to put your knees. If you’re tall it isn’t great.

I for one think rear wipers look cool.

Wow, It’s the first time I hear about the missing rear wiper. I live in Canada, that’s a deal breaker for me.

5:02 Did he just say the model 3 is similar amount of money? What? Where I am in Canada the model 3 starts at more then 10k more then the ioniq 5

The sheer cost of these vehicles. OMG 😳

I love my ionic 5 - The only 2 elements that need changing are. Add a rear wiper, and Put the Speed in the centre of the screen. Not part of this update! Real shame.

Do you really mean suspension set-up different then 2020 model. I never heard about it before. Non of of ioniq 5 2023 model reviewers mentioned that.

I am pretty sure the steering wheel is height adjustable, at least I saw that in another video.

No rear windscreen wiper...why 🤷‍♂️

Good of Hyundai to fix their design floor of having no rear wiper by charging you more money for a digital rear screen. I am a bit disappointed by some of Hyundai's choices with this when compared to the original ioniq and Kona. For example the original ioniq was a 30 k car but had a standard heat pump, it is £900 option on this and only on the top of the range. The 58kwh battery is smaller the 68kwh on the Kona, why? This thing is massive it's bound to struggle with range. Feels like quite alot of profiteering is going on to me maybe I'm wrong

i've got the ioniq 5 and i find having no rear windscreen wiper isn't an issue. Tesla's don't have a rear wiper yet nothing is said.

Good review👍 Missing a rear wiper

Busyforks is an I5 competitor? I don't think so!

Personally, I have 2 reservations for an Ioniq 6. 1.5-2 yrs wait time in Canada 😭

still no rear wind screen wiper...

I hate that white frame around the displays. Why cannot they change it black like it is in Ioniq 6. The black one looks 100 times more better.

So the initial cars had a shorter shelf life than a smartphone. Nope! Are there retrofit discounts available for owners who want to protect their investment?

That's ones on new plate but the 22 model if I'm correct?

Does it come with wider parking bays? No? Oh.. wouldn't want these double parked on a road..

Still too pricey

The shape looks like a modern Austin Maestro.

No rear wiper is still a show stopper . Even a Taycan has one.

Wireless android auto/Apple CarPlay now???

Seriously ridiculous costs in UK ...!! My Citroen does 800 miles per tank every time and cost £40,000 less.... !!!

Hi guys I'm extremely interested into offering this car to my parents as a gift but all of my family are vegan.. so leather is a big no for us. Do you know if we can get it without " real leather "? thank you

I have a 2022 Ioniq 5 and have been pretty dissapointed. I wish these videos showed you the realistic range and charge times for UK driving/infrastructure. During the recent cold spell I was getting 150 miles out of the battery and charge (when they worked) of 35kw off 120-150 kw chargers. Also... where the heck are the 250 kw chargers?!

Presenter reminds me of Rory from Doctor Who :)

The Model 3 is overpriced tat that falls apart in the hands. The Ioniq 5 is miles ahead in quality.

Still looks like an Austin Maestro.

Ugh. Rear-wheel? Not great for winter driving.

Sounds odd. But would you do reviews on dashcams or know a trustworthy RU-vid channel that does?

Lack of metric units, km, kW...

Cheaper to charge at home yes. Nearly half a day to charge , yes. No thank you. I'll stick to my Diesel which does not take 20 minutes to fill up and guaranteed 400 + miles in a single tank.

RWD Limited = American Unicorn

Starting price you says it's cheeper than the Tesla Model 3 because you can get it with a smaller battery. You can get a Model 3 RWD with a smaller battery just to correct you. The RWD Tesla Model 3 costs $46,900 in the US. Not sure about the UA prices. And it comes with premium trim. So if you recommend the I5 RWD with premium trim how to they compare price wise and what is the range of each of those cars? I5 220 mile EPA TM3 270 EPA. So which is the better deal now? You should mention this. When you show the starting prices you quote the tesla model Y not the 3. WTH this is some bad editing. I personally don't care which EV folks buy but I do care about accurate journalism.

VOTE NOW! 🗳️Should the rear wiper be mounted at the bottom, or at the top under the spoiler? BONUS QUESTION : Should it swipe from left to right, or from right to left? DOUBLE BONUS: Does your answer change for Right Hand Drive models versus Left Hand Drive ones? 💦

£50k That’s a lot of hooch. That car, if they really wanted to steal a march, it should be £35k.

Why? Because carmakers are still trying to figure this out. :) And why we are waiting until at least 2024... with all the rest of the normies. In the mean time we like driving our nieces Bolt which is excellent. The Hyundais are tops on our list. For now.

Another affordable EV, I can afford one but they are so overpriced, there’s going to be a lot of old cars running around at the deadline which is not good for the future. Don’t mention the poor infrastructure for charging especially in rural areas…

Lovely color

I have no idea why anyone would buy one of these over a Tesla. Just makes no sense!

Too boxy for my liking.

Superb ❤️😃

OMG 50 grand for a 315 mile range and fairly basic look. I just bought a Honda Crosstar which can achieve more range and better designed inside for half the cost. There is going to be a lot more demand for hybrid cars than the milk floats I'm afraid. What working guy even at middle management level can reall afford this extravagance? And you won't be saving the planet either unless you run ifor 8 years or so by which time the battery will most likely be on its last legs.

This looks like the new household appliance from Samsung. It belongs to the same group as the tesla truck or nissan murano convertible, a freak show of a car.

Bro did you really just say the interior of a Model 3 is nicer? 🤡

Embarrassing that my 2019 Tesla infotainment looks 1000% more responsive than this. And that is running old hardware. This is a new car. The sat nav in this looks absolutely horrible.

영국은 비오는 날이 잦아 흙탕물에 후방 시야 확보가 어려운건 알겠는데.. 그럼 세단에도 리어 와이퍼 달아야겠네 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

No fuel savings what so Ever , I mean small Hyundai were never £50,000 expensive in the first place You could buy a small Hyundai for 25k than have spare 25k for fuel for the last 20 years

Ioniq 5 is no longer attractive option after price increases. Now I am tilting towards Tesla.

From the U.S. here, hoping Hyundai gets their $7500 tax credit back, really interested in the car.

The wheels look too big for the size of the car

Too expensive for what you get, screens are small big bezels, and tech doesn't compare to tesla.

Started looking at this as we have a Tesla model Y and want a second EV but wanted something cheaper as more a runaround car. As someone else said, 50k for a Hyundai is silly money. Needs to be more like 35k. Would rather a model 3 than this.

Lovely car, shame about the subpar infotainment. They really should consider doing what Volvo/Polestar/Renault did and just install Android Automotive.

£50k for a Hyundai! We want a cheaper car, not this. Interesting the comparison throughout was with a model 3 then at the end the price was shown for a model y

May be a good car but I find the styling rather dull.

Looks as if the car tested also had Heated/Ventilated Seats! as an Ioniq 5 Driver, the car has lots of issues. DAB Constantly drops out, Headlamps are useless, It also needs headlight washers, Horn is quiet. It really needs a rear wiper. Trim Fit very poor, damp interior condensation problems. How can they build a car with WIRED apple play/android auto...ridiculous. Tesla prices have dropped considerably. It also needs Pop Out Door Handles.

Good looking, expensive, impractical toy.

GJ

For a car designed to look ultra-modern/futuristic I find it incredible how dated these look already imo.

This guy needs to do his homework. The interior of the IONIQ5 is heavily focused on sustainability, which is why the material seems different than normal. That doesn't mean that it's cheap, rather different in that for a recycled material, it's really good.

The Ionic 5 is too expensive and is not going to date well.

Too expensive simple

Lovely car, however it doesn't do anything different that my 19 year old Ford Fiesta with 95000miles cant do. So expensive too.

All these makers compete in the same premium market while the Chinese makers quietly but surely taking over the next bracket down. Many of these established brands will not survive in a few years time.

People that buy cars that have 'IQ' in their names are obviously lacking in that particular area..

I still don't see what the fuss is with this car. It's a big slab of a vehicle that still looks very much like an Austin Princess to me, and some of the materials are very plasticky and just 'meh'. As was pointed out, infotainment is just 'ok' and these cars are still very expensive (and getting more expensive). I guess all car manufacturers want to be on the EV gravy-train now though as customers are herded and forced into buying them.
