The Ioniq 5 is currently my "really, really want it" car. I always wanted a Lancia Delta HF Integrale back in the day, and this looks quite similar to it. Love the technology aspects of the Ioniq 5 too, with the Kia EV6 also a strikingly good looking car, both being part of the same company, they are offering serious competition to the likes of Tesla/Polestar/Rivian etc. Funny video too Mat ;-)
Early 90’s I had for 8 years a Lancia Delta HF Int 16v. I instantly loved the fantastic look of the Ioniq 5, indeed Delta like. I want to go EV with this car.
The guy who designed the Ioniq 5 stated the Integrale as his favourite car, hence the resemblance. Apparently, he also liked Tetris...so perhaps that's part of the lighting cues.
It's hilariously that - due to the Ioniqs styling and proportions - Matt looks like a small boy standing next to a compact hatchback in the last shot. 🤣
Both Ioniq 5 and EV6 designs hide their size really well, when I first saw the pictures I thought they were small hatchback sized and was really surprised seeing them in real life and how big they actually were
Nope, the Mazda 2 has a high boot lid and when I got the groceries out it was heavy that it scraped on the boot lid and me and my father argued whether when I was angry or not which I was not lol.
I liked your review. I have this car for past 3 months now. And I absolutely love it. It is so comfy, fast, spacious, luxurious, quite and has all the features which a car must have.
@@NordicDartfrog The Pony, The Golf Mk1 and the Lancia Delta all were made by Giugiaro, so that´s why the car looks really similar to all those 3 cars.
@@NordicDartfrog Well, you can think that if you like but unless you’re the person who designed the car it’s simply not. Person above is right as Hyundai have said it’s inspired by the Pony themselves. Oh, and to me the Golf Mk1 was a tribute to the Honda Civic Mk1 that preceded it!
I have driven 3000 miles in my Ioniq 5 now (Denmark) and I love the seats. I used to get a sore lower back with both my ID.3 and e-Niro, but I can easily drive for 8 hours in one day without any trouble. I haven't had other cars where I could do that.
Wow.. This car is exactly what I've been waiting for cars to look like. Finally a car that actually looks like we're in 2021. So tired of the same average boring looking cars. This thing looks like the future 😍
I remember thinking off the future and seeing flying cars all over the place,not electric steps on 4 wheels.it really says enough about the future we are heading to...please,shoot me
@@samleyton5316 I share your sentiment but I've come to accept where we are in the timeline. It would take alot of laws to be passed and infrastructure for us to have flying cars in every driveway. Couple that with the fact that alot of people cant drive responsibly on ground, not sure how safe it would be for us to be zooming around in the air until we have better AI perhaps. That being said, I wish they could put concept cars into production at least but that's not gonna happen either. So this and the Cybertruck are the closest things we have to futuristic looking vehicles right now.
i normally skip videos. You got me glued on i cant believe i sat there watched 16minute video. As if i aint got work too get back too, your explaining is spot on attention too detail very funny too watch. Go on lad gona watch more now of u
I've had mine nearly two weeks now and love it. I've found the seats very comfortable. I went for the rear wheel 212HP for max range. It still feels quick but the 4 wheel drive must be amazing. I had a 140 mile run out in it last weekend and got 4.6 mikes/kWh which is not bad at all for a big car. I used to get 5 miles/kWh in my i3S with gentle driving which is a much lighter car. We have had lots of positive comments from people while out driving, more than any other car I've owned.👍
@@judahdaneshtaol Yes I do. I wanted leather after my i3S experience of marking the cloth seats. Spilling coffee onto the seat between your legs doesn't look good. 😂
It's a good review in terms of detail. But Matt it's unbearable to watch. Took me 3 days to get through it all. I'll subscribe and return to the channel once is replaced as host.
Zak - like you I have a AWD Ultimate on order and I too am worried about the range. Dont know whether you noticed but in Mat's video when he was on the motorway it was showing 1.6M/KWh!!!!! Still the 220KW charging should compensate to a degree.
@@Lyndalewinder I have the premium 217bhp 73kwh which has a bigger range than the awd apparently.( you lose range having awd from what I have read). I have done a 230mile round trip in mine which needed a good full charge after.
I’ve got the Ioniq 5 Project 45. Excellent car full stop. I find the seats very comfortable. And the handles are powered on my version - they open as you approach the car with key in pocket. Solar PV roof is a cool gimmick
@@CanOfRabbitHoles morning. I’ve had the Ioniq 5 for 3 years. Brilliant car. It’s fine back now at the end of 3 year PCP. I’ve ordered a replacement via salary sacrifice - an Ioniq 5 N model. Other than delayed a few weeks, I’m very excited. Wouldn’t go back to an ICE car
@@CanOfRabbitHoles yes definitely. I think my 3 year old P45 Ioniq 5 would have made an excellent 2nd hand car. Mine was the Digital Teal Green, with the cream interior. Loads of “toys” inc head up display, heated and cooled front seats and electric everything. I’d encourage you to test drive one.
tbh hyundai is always a car company i never really had a personal attraction to until recent car models. The company is building up a very "iconiq" reputation with this cars
Ok so Telsa is in one of the highest insurance groups so that’s a no no for me in the U.K. the model 3 would cost more than my Range Rover Sport! I saw the Tucson today 30 miles a day (claimed 50) and costs £2 a day to plug in and charge at home. So that’s about £40 - £50 a month in charging costs the same with the Rav 4 plug-in and then petrol on top of that if you go past your 30 mile limit.
The ioniq was called the 45 and it does kind of look the same. It also pays tribute to the Giorgetto Giugiaro designed Pony. They did an amazing job with the design.
Seen two of these in London yesterday and they’re as eye catching as most sport cars out there. Plus they actually feel innovative. I’d buy this anyway.
Test drove one of these and was the first EV I’d ever driven.. I’ve gone through 7/8 different cars now I’m back round to thinking very seriously about this again.. so effin annoying to make the right decision! Edit: I bought one
ID3 doesn't look any fun at all. It's really ugly, BUT I loved to drive it. The ID4 looks good but it's boring, even with 300 hp. I'd prefer the ID3........Enter Ioniq 5, damn....I'm sold! I'm buying that!

Yes! I have been waiting for you to review this car for ages. Test drove one twice and put a deposit down, very excited. The Carwow reviews are awesome, thank you!
@@fivish It's the same price as a Tesla model 3 ($40k) and if you've ever been to Cali those things are everywhere, every driving trip you'll see a ton of $60k+ Model Ys, even a good handful of $100k Ss. If the market wasn't there for pricier cars, there wouldn't be as many as there are. The average price of a car, most of which are currently fuel cars, is $48k.
I've found what it reminds me of. The old alfa sz. That squared front end and square lights. I knew I'd seen something really similar before.

Feel like if Marty Mcfly needed a new car for Doc to work on as the next time machine, this would be the 2021 DMC Deloreon! Stunning car especially in silver!
This car is awesome, and it's not really expensive for what it is. Personally I would go for the single motor long range version. As it is adequate in terms of power, and has the most range. If you drive it propperly you can exceed the advertised range with up to 15%
I sat on one today, it's about 830 million idr (46k pounds), for the long range single motor, signature trim. Beautiful car. Really considering to getting one.

After a whole year of leasing one, I'm going to furiously proclaim,... It's brilliant. It just is. Couple of minor gripes - the stereo system isn't great (and the DAB radio refused to pick up DAB until it was updated over the air a few months back). Materials in the front are a bit cheap on anything but the highest trim, too. But that's it. It drives beautifully, is immensely comfortable when cruising at motorway speeds, the regen braking system is PERFECTLY judged, it has a vast interior, it's nippy, disguises its size well. Quiet, stylish, fun, relaxing, very efficient in summer months (middling in the depths of winter if you don't get the heat pump) and, so, costs pennies to run. It's just a really great car.😊
Thanks for this review really good mate , 10 out of 10, was waiting for this one since the KIA EV6 review. Cant wait to see your Nissan Ariya and Toyota BZ review.Then I will decide which one I will buy :-)
Had the privilege of seeing one of these in the showroom and sit in it. Looks incredible in person and the inside actually really nice quality but feel the screens will look old quickly… An EV I would buy though!
@@judahdaneshtaol I feel it would look dated. Like looking back at old cars like a Lada, that clearly don’t look new. I feel these screens would look dated quicker than normal vehicles would
Why the exterior design team don't communicate with the interior design team? In all new hyundai models the exterior is very angular but in the interior all edges are rounded!
Hyundai really know what they are doing when it comes to the new generation cars like this. However, like Mat was saying in more recent times the price of cars are starting to really get way more expensive than the average person can really afford. Good news for the public transport industry.
Ah, once again, using the Ioniq 5 as a power source like that EV6 review. No surprise since they share the same platform, also same with the upcoming Genesis GV60.
@@tmeisenmann3285 Just because that recall alone? You know that there's petrol, diesel and even hybrid options that might not have the same issue as the ev model? Plus, Kona ev and Ioniq 5 ain't sharing exactly the same battery. Ioniq 5 was a *ground up* electric car, Kona EV was converted from a petrol car.
@@tmeisenmann3285 but most Electric car company in world use korean battery system (LG chemical , SK innovation). So there won't be an electric car in the world that you'll live in this world.
I love the non-conventional design of this car. It looks like a hatchback, but is the size of a compact SUV or large sedan. It looks both big and small and for some reason I really dig that. If I was in the market for a car then this would probably be my pick quite honestly.

This car (2023 version) needs me to drive it 😅 Currently taking my UAE driving licence, and this will be the first car I will ever own, wish me luck guys 😊 it's a dream car of mine ❤
Thanks Matt for a great review. Was eagerly awaiting your feedback on this EV and you didn't disappoint as always. Love your honesty and humour. My order is in.
6:30 - The main reason for the reduced capacity of the front boot on four-wheel-drive versions of the Ioniq 5 is because most of the space underneath is taken up by the front motor. That’s why rear-wheel-drive only versions have a bigger front boot than the four-wheel-drives, as they have no front motor taking up space.
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 best part of this video was 06:17 & 07:39, to actually get to know all pros and cons of the product you are following since long!!!. Thank you for posting such honest content.
A handful of US states get the 2021 leftovers and for everyone else there is always calendar year 2022 and maybe you can get a 2023 model that has a rear wiper and comes as a N. 😉
Those rims are dope!! 🔥 And 4.8 in a little, completely silent car is nice too! I just can't understand the problem with seats 🤷🏻♂️ Cars have been, for some reason, built with seats forever, they should be perfectioned to the humans body already 🤔
I have one right now on test drive and it is simply amazing. To bad it is too expensive, if they would drop price for 10k€ this would probably be most selling car here, by far. It is one of the best sensible cars to drive everyday.
In my idea. The reason why there sometime still a USB-A in the car. Is because some chargers these days still have USB-A to USB-C. Like some budget phones.

Good review as usual. Superb looking car. We test drive a standard Hyundai Ioniq last week. The difference in design & style between the Ioniq & Ioniq 5 is truly remarkable tbh. It's honestly like the car came from 2 different companies.
Thanks Matt for noticing the seats and pointing them out. I sold my Sportage because I developed back and neck pain after driving it for long hours and I liked the car otherwise. I think the seats are too small and not made for taller people. No such problem in Touareg.
@@Vanguardkl it’s an amazing car, I’m very happy. I do have the top spec AWD model though. I thing the RWD version maybe underpowered for the size of the car. Although it will still be quicker than a petrol car of the same size.
Is this the best looking EV in the world?

Cool
Was thinking the same thing. Good catch!
This is nice..
That fits with the rest of the car design vibe.

Giorgetto Giugiaro, who designed DeLorean, also designed the Hyundai Pony which is a motivation of the ioniq 5.
@@scu549 great knowledge 👍🏼
Feel like if Marty Mcfly needed a new car for Doc to work on as the next time machine, this would be the 2021 DMC Deloreon! Stunning car especially in silver!
It's a stunning looking car with amazing performance and tech ticks all my boxes
Best review Mat's done in a while,the enthusiasm was on point
This car is awesome, and it's not really expensive for what it is. Personally I would go for the single motor long range version. As it is adequate in terms of power, and has the most range. If you drive it propperly you can exceed the advertised range with up to 15%

Nurrrr... bur..... gring..... on the chronometer
I sat on one today, it's about 830 million idr (46k pounds), for the long range single motor, signature trim. Beautiful car. Really considering to getting one.
6:06 "you know what’s gonna happen now"- AD BREAK.
"the coolest EV in the world" indeed! I want one if it's on Japanese market.
I think it's going to be released. Hyundai is preparing to enter Japan and saw a picture of IONIQ 5 being tested in Japan. 😃
@인성 Speaking of internal combustion cars and Hybrid Japanese cars are still better, but EV.
Somebody needs their eye checking
I think it cant be.. sorry
Not sure if many reviews mention how large this car is. It's got a similar wheelbase to an Audi A8!
The length of the wheelbase is 3000mm.

After a whole year of leasing one, I'm going to furiously proclaim,...
It's brilliant. It just is. Couple of minor gripes - the stereo system isn't great (and the DAB radio refused to pick up DAB until it was updated over the air a few months back). Materials in the front are a bit cheap on anything but the highest trim, too. But that's it.
It drives beautifully, is immensely comfortable when cruising at motorway speeds, the regen braking system is PERFECTLY judged, it has a vast interior, it's nippy, disguises its size well.
Quiet, stylish, fun, relaxing, very efficient in summer months (middling in the depths of winter if you don't get the heat pump) and, so, costs pennies to run.
It's just a really great car.😊
Thanks for this review really good mate , 10 out of 10, was waiting for this one since the KIA EV6 review. Cant wait to see your Nissan Ariya and Toyota BZ review.Then I will decide which one I will buy :-)
Had the privilege of seeing one of these in the showroom and sit in it. Looks incredible in person and the inside actually really nice quality but feel the screens will look old quickly… An EV I would buy though!
Why will they look old?
@@judahdaneshtaol I feel it would look dated.
Like looking back at old cars like a Lada, that clearly don’t look new. I feel these screens would look dated quicker than normal vehicles would
@@MultipleMadness1 "normal vehicles" have analog dials in the dashboard which already look ancient.
Why would the screens date that quickly?
Why the exterior design team don't communicate with the interior design team? In all new hyundai models the exterior is very angular but in the interior all edges are rounded!
A very odd decision from Hyundai
The EV6 is far better on the inside but the Ioniq wins the exterior design battle. Wish I could mix them.
The Ioniq 5 is easily the best looking non premium ev today! Except for the EQS, that thing look like melted clay

Hyundai really know what they are doing when it comes to the new generation cars like this.
However, like Mat was saying in more recent times the price of cars are starting to really get way more expensive than the average person can really afford.
Good news for the public transport industry.
Just seen in one and that brought me to come and watch this review. It's futuristic and simply beautiful. Well done, Hyundai.
Ah, once again, using the Ioniq 5 as a power source like that EV6 review. No surprise since they share the same platform, also same with the upcoming Genesis GV60.
Hyundai Kona electric car being recalled due to a series of fires. I won't buy it.
@@tmeisenmann3285 Just because that recall alone? You know that there's petrol, diesel and even hybrid options that might not have the same issue as the ev model? Plus, Kona ev and Ioniq 5 ain't sharing exactly the same battery. Ioniq 5 was a *ground up* electric car, Kona EV was converted from a petrol car.
@@tmeisenmann3285 commented the same comment in two places. Tell me stranger, are you a bot or a hater?
@@tmeisenmann3285 but most Electric car company in world use korean battery system (LG chemical , SK innovation). So there won't be an electric car in the world that you'll live in this world.
@@hugo5643 byd panasonic tesla and catl is the biggest battery manufacturer
I prefere old fashion USB than newer because every cable I have use this USB
At last, Ive been waiting ages for this. Thank you Carwow!
This guy is the most entertaining car reviewer i have ever seen.
I love the non-conventional design of this car. It looks like a hatchback, but is the size of a compact SUV or large sedan. It looks both big and small and for some reason I really dig that. If I was in the market for a car then this would probably be my pick quite honestly.
Love the outside not so much the inside …
For me still the Kia EV6 GT 😍
We love the inside! 😳
It's like what people in the '80s thought future cars would look like 😂
That's because cars from the 80's used cheap plastic as well. I think it totally ruins the car.
Honestly, this SUV will always stand out, and I absolutely love that.

This is my favourite EV right now, purely because of the way it looks. Hyundai nailed it with this one.
Timeless design. This will never get old. Great car. It looks like it came from 2040 but it's here now.
USB-C on both ends is crap, I'm very glad that Hyundai thinks of quality, which they normally do:)
? How is the old usb better
I have to admit, cars like this mean I'll probably change my hot hatch for an electric sooner than I expected. Also "Glove drawer", I want one!
If we get an N version of this with the powertrain from the Kia EV6, that would be pretty epic 😃👍. Awesome content :)
I think there's spy shots of the n line at the nurburgring
@@mclarenspeedtail8988 yeah I saw spyshots which hint at the full N model in one of my magazines
@@nathanb2100 yup
This car (2023 version) needs me to drive it 😅
Currently taking my UAE driving licence, and this will be the first car I will ever own, wish me luck guys 😊 it's a dream car of mine ❤
Thanks Matt for a great review. Was eagerly awaiting your feedback on this EV and you didn't disappoint as always. Love your honesty and humour. My order is in.
I’ve been seeing this car a lot here in norway and been very excited every single time
Still, I will go for the german Tesla.
@@mcplutt What the hell is a German Tesla lol.
@@aoh4905 A Model Y from Berlin.
Those Norwegian oil barons can afford nice cars...
@@petermartin9494 Yes, but we don't like to pay for expensive gas or diesel. Only charge 😃
6:30 - The main reason for the reduced capacity of the front boot on four-wheel-drive versions of the Ioniq 5 is because most of the space underneath is taken up by the front motor. That’s why rear-wheel-drive only versions have a bigger front boot than the four-wheel-drives, as they have no front motor taking up space.
Model Y AWD has a huge frunk. Or froot if you like.
@@mcplutt downside is that it's a tesla.
You know you’re getting old when they have to demonstrate what Spirograph is for the younglings.
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.
"a nice place to be." had me in tears, having just watched fully charged with the ev6 review. Thanks for completing the bingo, Mat.
Been waiting for this. Matt has the magic touch when it comes to reviews!
The wheels looks impressive.....and also the gauges cluster😀😀👌👌
This thing looks so much cooler and distinct from other crossovers. Most crossovers look the exact same.
Model Y is different too....
@@mcplutt Yes
Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis are doing great things with styling, that's for sure. And their quality has been getting better too.
The best part of this video was 06:17 & 07:39, to actually get to know all pros and cons of the product you are following since long!!!. Thank you for posting such honest content.
Great looking EV. If I was going to jump into the EV pool, this would be the one.
You'll have to eventually 😜
A handful of US states get the 2021 leftovers and for everyone else there is always calendar year 2022 and maybe you can get a 2023 model that has a rear wiper and comes as a N. 😉
😆 🤣
Those rims are dope!! 🔥
And 4.8 in a little, completely silent car is nice too!
I just can't understand the problem with seats 🤷🏻♂️
Cars have been, for some reason, built with seats forever, they should be perfectioned to the humans body already 🤔
Just ordered a i4 M50 but this is the best purpose built looking EV to date.It stands out from every brand!!!
I have one right now on test drive and it is simply amazing. To bad it is too expensive, if they would drop price for 10k€ this would probably be most selling car here, by far. It is one of the best sensible cars to drive everyday.
I think you save money on doing car services
@@toray424 yeah I know, but go to trim is around 57k € here. If it would be 47, they wouls sell gazilions of those cara
In my idea. The reason why there sometime still a USB-A in the car. Is because some chargers these days still have USB-A to USB-C. Like some budget phones.
Most of my electronics and all of my chargers are usb-a to usb-c. Why would they put usb-c sockets, just to make you buy new cables?

Thank you for the review. Definitely looks better than that dreadful-looking Tesla for sure!
Well said 👏
Which Tesla?
@@XKS99 any of them. That seems like a silly question. 😜
Good review as usual. Superb looking car. We test drive a standard Hyundai Ioniq last week. The difference in design & style between the Ioniq & Ioniq 5 is truly remarkable tbh. It's honestly like the car came from 2 different companies.
Thanks Matt for noticing the seats and pointing them out. I sold my Sportage because I developed back and neck pain after driving it for long hours and I liked the car otherwise. I think the seats are too small and not made for taller people. No such problem in Touareg.
I love these cars and these reviews
That sliding center console is super genius, its really really difficult to go across in every car ever
its something no one will actually use tho?
My 68 reg Jeep Compass has one AND a power outlet for the rear passengers...
@@nigelrowe2204 same as this then... this has an actual power outlet in the back.
How is this exclusive? I’ve had my Ioniq 5 for a month now?
How is it?
@@Vanguardkl it’s an amazing car, I’m very happy. I do have the top spec AWD model though. I thing the RWD version maybe underpowered for the size of the car. Although it will still be quicker than a petrol car of the same size.
