USED IONIQ5 - GOING USED EV SERIES #usedioniq5
Hey and thanks for tuning in this week.
This week, I dive into my 'Going used' series, picking out great used EVs which at the time of publishing this video are priced perfectly for most consumers to indulge.
However, there's a lot of scepticism of the longevity of battery/motor technology and whether it can survive longer than we anticipate. In this 'Going Used' series, I intent to test these aging EVs and pick out any issues or point up where they're doing things right.
In this video I look at the Ioniq 5, Hyundai's first leap into 800v architecture and their first major ground up electric vehicle since the integration of an electronic drive chain in the Kona.
Specifically, after 2.5 years of degradation, is this Ioniq 5 still able to offer a great range if any at all? What's the cabin like? The paintwork? Interior? Is it a good or bad recommendation?

MG4 December Efficiency Test | MG4 vs Tesla M3 LR
Interesting, get much more range in a warmer climate.
So it's a genuine 200 mile car, even in terrible conditions.
Great information. Good to see actual Road tests. Thanks
that speedo is shockingly awful
Bought the Zoe GT LINE for £15k at two years old 9.5k miles "& free 7kw wall box fitted. It's been brilliant very under valued. It's my third EV SINCE 2014. It just might be my last car ever at 68 years old.
Can you use Tesla superchargers to charge the MG4?
It is not more efficient than my ID3
I wouldn’t dream of buying a new MG4 when I know I could buy a low mileage Tesla model 3 ,which is a far better car in every way,for a much cheaper price. (No,I’m not a Tesla/Musk fan boy,I’m just being pragmatic.)
I'm getting the same car soon. Looking forward 😊
Latest research say charge to full only once per month and at all other times to 80% for LFP batteries.
You don't need to service a Tesla but the Mg does look nice
All V1s have a manufacturing defect in the EVCC module. MG discovered the problem and, to avoid replacing the entire module for the entire fleet, they limited the charge to 88 kW. An approved inspection operator would have to intervene to force them to correct this by a recall action. Like you, my choice for an LFP battery was motivated by the minimal difference in charging power between the versions and especially for the longevity of the charge cycles. But in the end, it is the NMC version that displays a stable SOH!
can you watch youtube/netflix while having google maps on the same screen like with half the screen for maps and half of screen for youtube ?
I'm considering getting a performance model, I drive to London from Hampshire 3 times a week, 144 mile round trip and 3:30-4 hours - lots of bottlenecks but also 70 a lot of the time. Would I make it home ok with out a charge?
Will you be doing a 2 year review?
We have driven our MG 4 Standard Range for 14 months and 2000 km's now, and agree with you in most parts, but the slow home charging speed, 3.1 kW, is annoying. We have solar panels on our roof, which most of the summer produce 8-12 kW in summer day time, and with a faster on board charger we would be able to use it better.
We have a 135 gt line. Had it around 6 weeks now. It’s a neat little thing, more suited to 2 adults or 2 adults with 2 smaller children as rear is tight. For me it’s a regular commute of 50 miles round trip. We have pod points at work running at 23p per kWh which I worked out to be approximately 100mpg equivalent. I can live with it 😁😁. Really you need this facility or the ability to charge at home.
Regarding the mg4 phone app. Is there a maximum distance where you can be away from the car to monitor it's charging through the app.?
had an MG 4 64 kW for the past 16 months looking to what EV I’m likely to replace it with and having a hard time finding something that is in the price range that offers a superior set of feature
This will be perfect for me. My main long journey is once every 2 months from Welsh valleys to Reading services, it's 122miles which this will do easily. I have plenty of down hill to start and you don't get much over 50 mph until you are over the bridge on the M4 anyway or round Bristol so quids in. Thanks this has made choices interesting as there are a number of Zoe on the market now for really good money.
How do you change the Home Screen to show the AC ?
The pulling of the car over and back the road is unforgivable
Right on the point of buying one will let you know how I get on
I AM REAL MG4 51KW baterry owner. The battery had a major failure after 7000 miles , MG costumer service is a joke, they were making excuses , Listen to Me, don't waste your heard earned money for this car, it depreciates very fast , Can't sell now at all , All MG4 videos are sponsored those are not real owners. I am sorry to say this , I wish was not the truth but it is
Brilliant vid thanks for your efforts truly helps 👍 sub from me here on out
Warranty issues?
You neglected to show how difficult it is for anyone who isn't a body builder to get the charging plug to the car and locate it in the socket.
I fitted mine today. Thanks for the video, it helped massively.
This Video is paid by MG. Don't waste your moneys in MG4 Standard range you will regret it. After one year will depreciate to 11000 pounds-only with 7000 miles gone. This is my real honest advise, I am MG4 owner and will never but MG again, Servise has no spare parts, Is not organising Courtesy car, Costumer service puts you like middle man between them and the MG servose, Very bad experience.
You might not like mg but it is very dishonest to accuse this guy of being paid by mg when you have Zero proof of this...
NEVER MG4 AGAIN IT IS JUNK DONT BUY THE REVIEWES ARE PAID BY MG 4 BELIEVE TO TRUE OWNERS
DO NOT BUY, IT IS TRASH ! BASIC MODEL MG4 51 KW AFTER 7000 MILES BATERY IS GONE, THEY DON'T GIVE COURTESY CAR
Ive used 22kwh Zoe for four years now and want to upgrade it to 52kwh
should i charge the standard till 100percent since its LFP? THANKS
So if your charging not at home it’s actually quite expensive to run ???
This ev is a bargain
I manage to fit 2x 23KG suitcases side-by-side in mine. That leaves space on top of them for flatter things and room in front of them for a pushcahir and a few soft bags. Easily get enough in for a family of 4 for a 2 week trip. All the coats go in the frunk and then a camping chair behind the front seats which the kids rest their feet on.
Felt seasick watching your camera work, especially the luggage section. Otherwise great video.
Thank you for the video and it gave me good confidence, I have booked a MG 4 Trophy Long Range one and I am waiting for the delivery.
better than ID3?
Really wanted one of these and was looking for one now.After watching this video it’s a massive no from me.225 miles is awful.I think I’ll stick to my petrol car and fill it up and do 500miles on a tank.I wish they done a petrol version of this.Even in perfect conditions like you used it,it’s still really bad.
It works if you charge at home and aren’t doing 220 mile trips all the time. In any event, driving that distance without a stop is pushing it, so you’d just stop, put it on charge, grab a coffee, charge to 80% and you’re away in no time. If you get a newer model they’ve a better range, battery conditioning etc. it’s a different mindset. As an example, in our petrol car to France this summer it was shown as 10 hours 15 mins to destination. I recently plotted a route with an EV with similar range to the Ioniq 5 and it was 13 hrs 30 including charging stops. Looks bad, until I worked out we’d stopped for approximately a total of 3 hours 40 mins in the petrol car for food and comfort breaks, so no time difference overall.
Im not into Evs, like u I think 230 miles is terrible, but the more I look into it, the more it makes sense. I'll only ever do a 150 miles max round trip and I only do 30 miles a day on average so in theory I'll just come home and just plug it in everyday like I do my phone. I'll be investigating how much it will cost to charge at home and if it's way cheaper than filling up a tank at £90 then an EV might make more sense. For me anyway. As long as I leave my house with 100 % I think i will be fine. No range anxiety. 🤞
Did you leave the old prop in?
Thought a none metallic washer or 4 would have been advisable….
No. Ur a dump person. Ur so boring that you dont must be mad on ur girl when she cheated on you.
Does anybody know if the issues with the infotainment system on the ID3 were fixed with software updates ?....so it works properly now on older cars ?
Yes, charging to 100% will. Don’t kid yourself
How long do these take to charge from home?
Our MG4 SE LR has the same battery as the Trophy. Performance over the summer is 4 miles/kWh average. At 70 mph though its less and at 50 mph its more. Just like with a ICE vehicle. We're very happy with the performance, especially as our solar panels charge it for free in the sun. One good day we get 3 kW from the home battery plus 5 or 6 from the panels,so we can charge at 7kW without drawing from the grid. I appreciate our situation does not suit everyone
I must have a duff set of fittings as the boo Tom ones that fit on the body just fall or ping off. The locking things do not work and release as soon as the strut is moved to the upright position. Tried all different ways with no success, in fact one has disappeared into the depths of the bay never to be seen again. A waste of my time and money.
Not too bad. Little bit of degradation. But totally acceptable.
I wish I understood the need for or advantage of this device. I simply plug my phone onto the cable and voila! Android Auto, with everything that you illustrated here. What would this do for me apart from not having to connect my phone to a cable? which is so quick and easy.
