My favourite part about this video, over 800k views, the other channel that does “only electric” which we all know, only managed 350k views. A year and a bit on your own Jonny and your killing it. Well done mate. Well done 👍
owned a Hyundai i20 Active car which I bought in august 2017 and since the beginning there are a lot of issues with the car paint and ac especially, whoever person I met and whenever we discuss, everybody having these two common issues. Just after 2 years, my ac failed where I have driven Maruti and Ford cars for more than 10 years and there was not a single issue with those cars during the entire span. Hyundai is the worst with this quality. Need your support to take it to Hyundai forum where you can get some solution.
You only had the car for 2 hours and yet you create this materpiece. Hats off for all the ideas and planning that must have gone into this review Jonny. Loved it... especially the hilarious ending.
It is dude I love it and I love the Volkswagen id3 I thinks it’s called both great looking and roomy cars, undoubtedly the way forward wether we like it or not and I like it.
This and its sibling Kia eve6 are going to bring electric to the mainstream. I think the masses (especially here in the US) can relate to Kia/Hyundai way better than to Tesla.
Sounds too long and wide for the U.K. I’m looking at that thinking it looks fantastic but I’m thinking it’s smaller. I feel I will get a fright at it’s overall size when seen in the flesh.
I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t get Jonny when he was on fifth gear, but now I rate him as one of the best & informative car journos out there. Great review, keep them coming mate! 👍🏾
Agree. TV shows are obsessed with a specific type of content. If that doesn't suit presenters or is compromising for them, it just becomes weirdly distorted. You probably could not have a show like this on TV, although I enjoy this much more than anything Fifth gear did.
Thanks Johnny for the down to earth review. The Korean car manufacturers do not sit idle with improvements and innovation. Also they are genuinely concerned if any issues arise with their vehicles and man up with responsibility.
This car looks so good and seems so well thought out it should be a hit. Very well done Hyundai. It really has an "instant classic" look so far ahead of any other EV.
Hyundai has been on a mad one these last few years. Pumping out banger N line performance hatches and now they're about to slaughter everyone in the EV game. Really does look great, LOVE the rear end.
@Nature Taco "I wrote a paper on car quality and gathered data from hundreds of companies..." Uses "you're" instead of "your". Yep, sure you "wrote a paper". *GTFOH*
@Nature Taco when i had my sonata never had a single issue out of the car. Does your data account for owner neglect? Like people not keeping up with their regular maintanence that helps prolong the life of the car or driving patterns like the way people drive that can increase wear and tear on a car? Doubt it.
One of my work mates gave me a lift the other day in his hybrid Kona. Gotta say, it was nice. I've nevery really put much thought into Hyundai but I'd say it's easily as nice as my boss' Jag XF, which cost about the same 2nd hand and is obviously powered by dinosaurs.
Just like Samsung embrace android and now Hyundai on EV, Korean know if something worth investing and I'm not surprise if Hyundai take the lead surpassed Tesla like Samsung surpassed HTC on Android phones. 😁
No idea this even existed. Absolutely love it! So refreshing that non European brands aren't being driven by the dull cardboard cutout styling norms of the European brands and are daring enough to put a bit of individuality into their cars.
By European you mean mostly German right? And by cardboard cutout you mean the “family face” that most cars have now I assume. It’s such a shit that Audi, VW, porsche, BMW and all those brands don’t give you any time to get used to a model. Every year they make them look even more fucked
Well German cars have a brand identity and loyal customers. So they can't alienate them too much. BMW tried to shake things up with the new 4 series but it backfired. Many classic VW buyer also dislike the new ID. range because it is not traditional VW styling anymore. German car's strength lies in the restrained, classy and maybe somewhat sleepy styling. That is the whole point. Korean cars have been all over the place like they have an identity crisis, sometimes they nail it sometimes they mess up. Japanese cars are either shouty and weird to some (Toyota, Lexus and at times Nissan) or just dull and too functional (Subaru). You have Mazda too but that brand reminds me Alfa Romeo styling wise, which is a good thing. French cars tend to be quirky (Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Less so Renault, which is kind of German sometimes). It is kind of how they operate, and that is fine. I know tons of people that love how German cars are not too shouty all the time or quirky/strange/revolutionary in their styling. It is what makes them desirable and is some way elegant. It is a strong brand identity, You always recognise a BMW, you always recognise an Audi or Mercedes. Why do you think Range Rovers have always had the same type of design, why do you think Mercedes has looked the same for over a whole decade? It is because that is what Mercedes and Land Rover buyers like. Don't shame them for their tastes. It is not about begin daring or not, it is about understanding your market. And the Premium market is very different from the Mainstream market.
@@Astke I'd argue that in recent years say the last 10 years, German brands design language/identity has become weaker and weaker as they've all started to merge into one another. If you take the badge and the main grill off the front you're left with mostly the same ingredients; slim, wide grille at the front flanked by two oversized fake air intakes and again mirrored on the rear, people talk a lot about the hofmeister kink being a strong bmw feature which frankly is tosh as most if not all German drands and more have adopted it. Design should always look to move forward and advance regardless of making people feel alienated, I don't buy into the safe styling thing at all, I commend BMW for the front end of the new m4 & m3 as its beautifully designed and its still clearly bmw if not more so now than it was before. Unfortunately today people are far to easily influenced into what to think, Their first exposure to these designs if of some cheap journo's headline like "new m3 ugly grille", they probably don't even think it's ugly but they just want to get clicks and jiews by being controversial and before you know it everyone has jumped on the bandwagon before taking the time to actually form an independent opinion.
@@TheTimmyc123 Hey I wasn't stating my own opinion. I just know what German car brand fans want and like about those cars. Also I disagree with your statement about the merging styling. There is a word for that. Trends and to some extend technology and laws. Cars in 1910-40 were all swoopy and all had round headlights, flared fenders and similar greenhouses. often loosely mimicking horse carriages. 1950-60 styling (at least USA) was all extreme with fins and large body work for no good reason other than styling. 1970 was kind of a transition period so it was all over the place. 1980 was all squares within squares and straight lines. And so on. 1990-2010 was all blobby and often featureless. IMO the most boring era for car design. in the 2010's - Big grilles are popular, The side fins as well (both for aero and styling) creases in bodywork is a trend as well in some way. Certain body shapes, especially in Crossover/SUV land are similar because of regulations and aero needs. Coupe-SUV (E-tron sportback) or lifted hatchbacks (Cupra Formentor) are trending, so many brands make those. And those follow certain design rules and trends as well, like the floating roof design trend. So yeah all cars follow similar trends, but they make the difference in the details, not just the concept or the shape. Basically like it has always been throughout history. For example how something like light systems are designed and used nowadays in a fun and interesting way to give a brand a signature in some way. You know something is a Peugeot, Renault or BMW because of the rear light design or the front end DRL shape. Sorry, but a Mercedes looks so different from a BMW or Audi, that is is almost laughable that you tell me that you can barely tell them apart (not quoting you). That key items like the "Hofmeister kink" change over time is only logical. Even the c-pillar of a Golf has slightly changed shape over the years. Even the German cars need change here and there, but they do, on purpose, change very little each iteration. It is rarely a revolution and usually an evolution in design. And if you don't like that approach, German cars are likely not for you. And the fact that you like the new BMW M3/M4 grille shows that you like revolutions. I don't mind the grille of the M3/M4 that much, but I easily prefer the front end of the M340i (normal 3-series). Because it looks more "BMW" to me, effortless, elegant, not try hard, but strong. Meanwhile the M3/M4 front ends are a bit boy-racer, try hard, angry fish. Kind of what you expect from a Japanese brand. As for me I just like cars that I think look good. I could care less about the brand. I think Mercedes, BMW and Audi all make very good looking cars, but also boring/ugly cars at the same time. But do I see that they are all completely different in terms of styling and identity? Definitely. I could distinguish a Mercedes from an Audi from a mile away. Also about the influence. That is true. People follow hype trains and the opposite. That is how everything works these days. But in reality there are more people that think differently from the internet crowds than you think.
I love it, I don't think I have ever seen such a striking car. Big thumbs up to Hyundai for not making it look like every other suv/crossover. I really hope to see a lot of these on our roads in the coming years, a design that good deserves to be a success.
@@KrisDouglas I think they’d primarily win the market with this car because there are not too many hatchbacks in electric segment. And from existing selection they have the best design language. Tho the price would be one of the key factors. Fingers crossed it’ll come to North America soon.
Overall I'm glad EV cars are becoming more practical, The Mazda MX30 is the best looking by far but thi Ionic5 is a close second imo. Even Toyotas Mirai (although not ev) looks much better. Good to be past the Tesla's and nissan Leaf era.
what the hell, The Lancei Delta Integrale Evo 2 is one of my favorites!!!! I love it sooo much. I myself owned the Gold MK1, also love the back to the future (Delorean) Oke, from today i became a fan of Giorgetto Giugiaro!!!! I didn't knew my Golf MK1 was also designed by him. And i always was a fan of the Integrale, and delorean.
I’ve worked in the motor trade all my life, I always recommend Hyundai’s to my friends and family I honestly think they are the best cars on the road the engineering is really well thought out and nice to work on they don’t over compliance every thing like the Germans. They are good value for money and ultra reliable. That thing looks cool as 👍👍👍
@@wilburdilburtsonesquire4919 It's not appealing for our climate here in Canada, since Teslas don't resist winter. The car is so cheaply made that several parts start rusting after a single winter, and the paint quality is extremely bad. Even cars made in the 1980s survived winter better than that... The idea when purchasing an EV is to have a smaller impact on the environment. Thus, having a Tesla which will need to be sent to scrap after 5 years is definitively not a good choice.
Hi all, quick message from 'the boss'; he's not being rude, he's on another 'Launch' shoot today, but he'll trawl through these comments tonight, so please bear with...
Having watched both reviews back-to-back --- Fully Charged and Late Break Show ----- take a bow, Johnny! (Time for another episode with your wife & Charger!). Kick ass! Thanks!
Compared to your iD4 review, your body language and vocal enthusiasm are on a much higher scale here. Definitely looks the best of the bunch by a long way.
November 2023 and I have had the latest Ioniq 5 now for a month. Its a fantastic car, all round. About 280 to 305 miles of range, comfortable, slick and everything I hoped it would be.
Absolutely spot on with the Lancia Delta Integrale, that's the first car I remember loving as a kid. Now I know why I thought the Ioniq 5 looked so good!👍
@@sleepyjoescumbag1663 The Etron was the top selling car here in Norway 2020 (or at least top 3), they are everywhere. Quite generic in design, albeit with some fine detailing, it does not push automotive design on however. Hyundai don't seem to be restrained with the same conservative brand identity rules and have created something far more appealing
@@-First-Last Probably much more, depending on the quality of the solar cells. You also have to make sure that these would survive the stress on the road with all the bumps. You need to have nice cable management, and a lot more quality control. Adds up to the weight, too. While people in the "sunshine"-states may profit from this, I dont see them work for everyone. Its just not worth the hazzle.
This actually makes all other cars look out of date instantly. Well done Hyundai - this is interesting and fresh in a sea of tedious, hateful modern car design. The VW in particular looks so dull. Definitely has a William Townsend feel to it’s styling. I’m a huge fan of the 80s so definitely a hit for me. Great video indeed Jonny!
So 40 year old styling is "fresh"??? Style is subjective and apparently many like this style which is fine. Personally, I'm turned off by angular boxy looking cars. I much prefer smoother, curvy aerodynamic styling. I think the EV6 is more attractive but the Ioniq 5 interior is more open and roomy.
Agreed! I think it would be neat if some car manufacturers made electrified versions of their classic cars to really get people on board. Imagine a NEW Mustang that looks exactly like the debut 1964 version but built from the ground up as an EV? Or any other classic car from the past. 1955 Thunderbird? 1967 Chevy Camaro? And so on.
Korean motor industry have hold a high regard and debt to George Turnbull, former BL engineer: how he remodelled the Marina to produce the Pony, and established a new manufacturing facility. Think the retro Pony EV is amazing. I’d have one.
that car is actually on sale for about a month here in s.korea. i saw few of them on the road and that thing is huge and futuristic. what a good looking car.
@@JimBobe before government rebate, long range 2wd starts at around 32k gbp, maxed out long range awd is around 41k gbp(direct conversion from krw to gbp)
Really enjoyed that review Jonny, you have a great knack of reaching the perfect balance of conversation and stats which results in a effortless watch... 👌🏻
I'm glad that electric cars are starting to look like normal cars and not some kinda shoebox from the 70s. I want smart looking cars thats why tesla even without the gadgets is still desirable.
"We only have two hours with this vehicle. Quick! Get me an electric bike, a bouncy castle and one of those wacky wavy inflatable tube guys.. NOW!!! Also... go round up some kids, ok?"
Forget range anxiety. I was counting the timer down with my AD anxiety. I thought you'd forgotten to include it. Because, after all, no self-respecting EV review is complete without a cameo from an air dancer. Good work, sir. Car's nice.
I absolutely love that you put the car specs in the description. Your review format is also one of my favorites, really good balance between laid back commentary and really relevant info.
THIS is the EV i was waiting for, concept car looks! At first i thought “decent size”.....then i saw Jonny sitting in it and suddenly it looks rather large!
This is what modern cars should look like. I hate all the cars on the market right now they look so outdated. Thank you for this Hyundai and Tesla design.
I wouldn't include Tesla's design. Their cars remind me of those anonymous blobs used in car ads in the 1990s. The Ioniq 5 and the Taycan are examples of good design in my opinion.
Smith Js. You are full of S**t. Had a look outside at a CHR or Honda E ?? or the only Hybrid/Electric I would touch, the Lexus UX250h. A Hyawndai loaded with hi tech electronics, no thanks
I can definitely vouch for Hyundai/Kia's quality workmanship, at least of late. They have improved immensely since the Pony debuted in the Canadian market in the mid eighties. I have a 2016 Kia Soul EV+ - my first Kia or Hyundai and also my first EV ever - and every switch, dial, lever, hinge, knob and button has a solid no-wiggle feel to it. It is smooth, quiet and as powerful as it needs to be (it feels WAY faster than its specs, especially from zero to about 45 mph) and is a pleasure to drive. And this is true: Every single person who has ridden in it has stated that their next car will be an EV. Maybe they would say that with any EV they ride in, but in any case I'm happy to spread the word! By the way, I bought it used last year with less than 18000 miles on it for under $13000US, with one owner and in basically new condition. There are LOTS of great deals to be found in used EVs, starting at well under $10,000. You won't regret it!
I love the way Jonny presents, informative and easy to understand even if you're not a car person. The humour is spot on, has the perfect balance! Always keeps me glued to it end and thats not a easy feat considering the new trend of quick media consumption.
The lounge concept is brilliant, very clever! Take the pain out of having to wait for your charge. Hyundai is really developing some nice cars in the last five years or so.
Wow! The style/lines of a VW GTI, the size and capacity of a Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, the quickness of a real sports car and a fully designed car from the ground up. I have to get one!
I’ve never been a huge fan of 80’s esthetic but I love the looks of the Ioniq 5. It’s a vehicle I would get out of and look back at as I walk away. It’s probably also the closest thing to a hatchback we will get in North America so it’s definitely on the short list. Great content as usual Jonny. 👍
The reason you see the resemblance to Lancia delta is that both that and Hyundai Pony, from which Ioniq 5 inherits its design, are designed by the same person, Giorgetto Giugiaro.
I can't be alone in thinking they complement each other..? Johnny is good at the detailed spec based review, but Bobby Llewellyn does the more human and humorous review. Personally I'd watch them both.
@@evilmario6061 I also appreciate the bigger lean towards sustainability etc that FC has. The look, drive and space is all useful information, but it's kinda dull. What I'd love to see more of is the overall sustainability of the car. Is it made from recycled materials - can it be recycled at the end of its life. Is it too big? Etc
@@Mattventuring What makes this so great compared to their competition? Its spacious, sure, but what else does this car offer that's better than the competition? You cannot say this is the best looking EV ever, that would make no sense.
@@dcostello1976 Samsung is way bigger in terms of total revenue and stock value. Add SK and LG and you have the 4 pillars of industrial Korea. SK is mostly telecom and energy, LG is mostly electronics and commerce. All of them have construction/heavy industry, finance, and logistic companies of their own.
Saw an ad and loved how it looks! One of the best looking electric cars but I assumed it'd be a wee hatchback. I'm a petrol head but I can appreciate this. No fake exhaust noises either.
Yeah it’s the charging speed for me. We don’t need huge batteries, we need efficiency and fast recharging. I hope there will be more efficient ioniq cars in the future
@@adrianoakes152 neither are in the same league as the hyundai in terms of interest or appeal. I don't need an elec or hybrid car but the ioniq 5 makes me want it.
Love the retro intro, this really is an exciting car. Hyundai are seizing great opportunities with this platform, bodes well for EVs in general. And yes, REGEN PADDLES!
The pointless individuals in this comments section trying to create agro between TLBS and FCS. Get in the bin. Just be happy that we have double the content, and that each channel have their own way of checking out new cars. Great work Jonny 👍🏼
But he did pick up on the "glove drawer" the 400 to 800 kW conversion while charging on low power units and the blind spot display when indicating. (No bouncy castle though)
@@rogerstarkey5390 the 400-800 *volt* thing is a complete red herring. All the 800V chargers (or should I say 'both') can do 400V anyway. If it makes a difference to charging speeds, it's tiny.
Agree, plus I think the Tesla Model X also looks terrible, whereas the Hyundai looks futuristic in the best way possible. Hyundai/Kia have been awesome recently IMO: with the Kia Stinger, Hyundai i30n and i20n, plus the Ioniq5 and Kia EV6 all being pretty awesome cars
@@colors6692 I know (I'll ignore the patronising "matey"). The fact is, I was drawing a comparison between the looks of the cars. I think the Ioniq 5 looks miles better than the Model X (my opinion), and the fact that it's not a competitor for the Model X (which is obviously the case given the price) makes it even better how good the Hyundai is.
@@colors6692 The Model X is faster, has cool doors, probably a bit more range and tesla infotainment (and I'll admit, tesla's infotainment system is brilliant and class leading). I struggle to see where it outperforms the Ioniq 5 in any other relevant departments, hence the "overpriced" from the original commenter. A fully spec-ed Ioniq 5 is about £55k, ordered new. The Model X starts at £100k. I don't have the money for either, but I know which one I'd choose, and it would probably be the same choice even if they were both 55k
Looks like a VW Golf and what VW should have made. Like a proper cool hot hatch. Actually in the side profile it could be the big brother to the Honda-E. Which is great for Hyundai if those are the connections and associations my brain is making.
Johnny, you are excellent as always, but it's really your cam op bringing you up a level these days. Great tripod shots, wide aerials from the drone, he's good for a bit of back-and-forth, lots of tight macros so we can see detail, damn. Newcastle, your eyes are keen, keep it up!
Loadsa likes and it got me thinking.... they need a foldout tent option in that boot and a 2 person one for the front boot (or whatever that space should be called). Instant electric lighting integrated. Maybe even a microwave. Brilliant!
When the first pictures of this car came in to my feed, I cheered massively '' YEA Lancia Delta is back!! '' 🤣 when I went through the article and came to realize that it's a hyundai and an EV.. I was and remain all kinds of confused! Never the less I like it lots!
Your production has improved so much with every video. Love the snarky comments and silliness at the end of the children and bouncy castle. This looks like a brilliant car!
Just Amazing. Hyundai are really hitting the sweet spot. I have been a big fan of Hyundai for 20 years. Had a Santa Fe for 8 years. The Ioniq 5 is what a 2021 car should be. If they get the price point right it will fly out the door. Great programme Jonny!!
Cool! I recently saw the Doug DeMuro review of this, in which he showed a North American spec model, so left-hand drive, and so I never thought UA-cam would recommend me this video where I get to see what the right-hand drive interior (and V2L adaptor for Type G) looks like! Cool! (2:43) For me, I always want to say "ironic".
...You only touch SELECT HVAC on the panel. Then, the rotating knobs turn from "VOLUME" into "TEMP" with blue and red colours and all. It's the best of both worlds.
@@snowcatxx87 Yeah, no reason to touch your settings nowadays, just put it at a comfortable temperature and leave it in auto mode. The newer Hyundai models even automatically switch to air recirculation when you drive past an area with smells, so there is 0 reason to touch your climate control setting whilst driving
@@AniviaS It might work in a climate where you don't see negative temperatures. I have yet to come across a system that works when it's-20. They always fog up, to much air going to the feet or it sets the fan way to low. Negative temperatures and rain is another senario Im yet to se a hvac work in. In all those situations I want to be able to adjust it directly without some stuoid menu touch shit that's cool but anoying to use 🤢
I've watched several other (p)reviews of this vehicle. This was by far the most informative, fun, quirky, and Jonny-esque of them all. In fact, I just pre-ordered one here in the U.S. purely due to this video. Thanks man! Oh, and the kids at the end... A very nice touch of humanity after the shit year that we have all endured. Just good to see kids having normal kid fun again!

@@Astke I'd argue that in recent years say the last 10 years, German brands design language/identity has become weaker and weaker as they've all started to merge into one another. If you take the badge and the main grill off the front you're left with mostly the same ingredients; slim, wide grille at the front flanked by two oversized fake air intakes and again mirrored on the rear, people talk a lot about the hofmeister kink being a strong bmw feature which frankly is tosh as most if not all German drands and more have adopted it. Design should always look to move forward and advance regardless of making people feel alienated, I don't buy into the safe styling thing at all, I commend BMW for the front end of the new m4 & m3 as its beautifully designed and its still clearly bmw if not more so now than it was before. Unfortunately today people are far to easily influenced into what to think, Their first exposure to these designs if of some cheap journo's headline like "new m3 ugly grille", they probably don't even think it's ugly but they just want to get clicks and jiews by being controversial and before you know it everyone has jumped on the bandwagon before taking the time to actually form an independent opinion.
@@TheTimmyc123 Hey I wasn't stating my own opinion. I just know what German car brand fans want and like about those cars.
Also I disagree with your statement about the merging styling. There is a word for that. Trends and to some extend technology and laws.
Cars in 1910-40 were all swoopy and all had round headlights, flared fenders and similar greenhouses. often loosely mimicking horse carriages.
1950-60 styling (at least USA) was all extreme with fins and large body work for no good reason other than styling.
1970 was kind of a transition period so it was all over the place.
1980 was all squares within squares and straight lines. And so on.
1990-2010 was all blobby and often featureless. IMO the most boring era for car design.
in the 2010's - Big grilles are popular, The side fins as well (both for aero and styling) creases in bodywork is a trend as well in some way. Certain body shapes, especially in Crossover/SUV land are similar because of regulations and aero needs. Coupe-SUV (E-tron sportback) or lifted hatchbacks (Cupra Formentor) are trending, so many brands make those. And those follow certain design rules and trends as well, like the floating roof design trend.
So yeah all cars follow similar trends, but they make the difference in the details, not just the concept or the shape. Basically like it has always been throughout history.
For example how something like light systems are designed and used nowadays in a fun and interesting way to give a brand a signature in some way. You know something is a Peugeot, Renault or BMW because of the rear light design or the front end DRL shape.
Sorry, but a Mercedes looks so different from a BMW or Audi, that is is almost laughable that you tell me that you can barely tell them apart (not quoting you). That key items like the "Hofmeister kink" change over time is only logical. Even the c-pillar of a Golf has slightly changed shape over the years. Even the German cars need change here and there, but they do, on purpose, change very little each iteration. It is rarely a revolution and usually an evolution in design. And if you don't like that approach, German cars are likely not for you. And the fact that you like the new BMW M3/M4 grille shows that you like revolutions. I don't mind the grille of the M3/M4 that much, but I easily prefer the front end of the M340i (normal 3-series). Because it looks more "BMW" to me, effortless, elegant, not try hard, but strong. Meanwhile the M3/M4 front ends are a bit boy-racer, try hard, angry fish. Kind of what you expect from a Japanese brand.
As for me I just like cars that I think look good. I could care less about the brand. I think Mercedes, BMW and Audi all make very good looking cars, but also boring/ugly cars at the same time. But do I see that they are all completely different in terms of styling and identity? Definitely. I could distinguish a Mercedes from an Audi from a mile away.
Also about the influence. That is true. People follow hype trains and the opposite. That is how everything works these days. But in reality there are more people that think differently from the internet crowds than you think.
@@Astke ...I assume you don't know that monstrosity of a BMW iX. Check it out and prepare to be alienated, with the probe but no lube...
I love it, I don't think I have ever seen such a striking car. Big thumbs up to Hyundai for not making it look like every other suv/crossover. I really hope to see a lot of these on our roads in the coming years, a design that good deserves to be a success.
Never thought that I’d say that, but this Hyundai gets me excited
They've come a long way from the Pony!
It's a game changer for the price.
@@KrisDouglas I think they’d primarily win the market with this car because there are not too many hatchbacks in electric segment. And from existing selection they have the best design language. Tho the price would be one of the key factors. Fingers crossed it’ll come to North America soon.
The 80s was the future, the real future is just catching up..
Couldn't agree with you more.
True only if you’re talking about music.
What?
Charthers
1950 was the future, disneyland tomorrowland.
Hyundai Pony was the ugly car, not the future, just too cheap, eastblock design...
@@lucasrem No, the 80s were the future. The 1880s. Remember those strange machines?
Would never have considered a Hyundai, but this is a cool car and I’d have one over a Tesla 3 or I-Pace.
Exactly the same. Was about to close a deal on a BMW I3s but I’m now going to wait for this.
Agreed. Ioniq 5 is coolest. Wonder what else Hyundai has up its sleeve.
Ioniq 5 competes Tesla model Y btw. Can't beat the price tag what Hyundai is giving.
9 years ago I said the same I tried, but after lease matured I ran and never looked back
Overall I'm glad EV cars are becoming more practical, The Mazda MX30 is the best looking by far but thi Ionic5 is a close second imo. Even Toyotas Mirai (although not ev) looks much better. Good to be past the Tesla's and nissan Leaf era.
The Ioniq 5 is inspired by the Pony. The Pony was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro,he also designed the intergale. 😊👍
Whaaaat!!?
Exactly, that's why it reassembles integrale. Giugiaro's period designs were very similar though
And the fiat panda, DeLorean , vw golf and polo... best car designer ever
Styled by Lego more like.🤨
what the hell, The Lancei Delta Integrale Evo 2 is one of my favorites!!!! I love it sooo much. I myself owned the Gold MK1, also love the back to the future (Delorean) Oke, from today i became a fan of Giorgetto Giugiaro!!!! I didn't knew my Golf MK1 was also designed by him. And i always was a fan of the Integrale, and delorean.
I’ve worked in the motor trade all my life, I always recommend Hyundai’s to my friends and family I honestly think they are the best cars on the road the engineering is really well thought out and nice to work on they don’t over compliance every thing like the Germans. They are good value for money and ultra reliable. That thing looks cool as 👍👍👍
This is so beautiful, and the first EV that actually looks appealing
My neighbour just got a Ford Mach E and it looks amazing
Tesla’s been looking hella appealing since day one
@@wilburdilburtsonesquire4919 It's not appealing for our climate here in Canada, since Teslas don't resist winter. The car is so cheaply made that several parts start rusting after a single winter, and the paint quality is extremely bad. Even cars made in the 1980s survived winter better than that... The idea when purchasing an EV is to have a smaller impact on the environment. Thus, having a Tesla which will need to be sent to scrap after 5 years is definitively not a good choice.
Hi all, quick message from 'the boss'; he's not being rude, he's on another 'Launch' shoot today, but he'll trawl through these comments tonight, so please bear with...
Ask him if he bumped into Robert from Fully Charged! Same car review out on the same day! Hope they're still mates ;) You're missed on FC Jonny 💔
Ok, thanks Chops 😂
Having watched both reviews back-to-back --- Fully Charged and Late Break Show ----- take a bow, Johnny! (Time for another episode with your wife & Charger!). Kick ass! Thanks!
Message to the Boss! Did you give him hell after the quiz? I half expected to see Jonny with a black eye afterwards!🤣 Just joking of course!
Would have been nice to get a deeper dive into the tech
Compared to your iD4 review, your body language and vocal enthusiasm are on a much higher scale here. Definitely looks the best of the bunch by a long way.
I was having a better day with this. And, being totally honest, I'd buy this car with my own money. The ID.4 isn't really my bag.
November 2023 and I have had the latest Ioniq 5 now for a month. Its a fantastic car, all round. About 280 to 305 miles of range, comfortable, slick and everything I hoped it would be.
The Pony concept!👌👌👌
Marina coupe.
looks like lada samara at the back :)
Seems to mirror so many 70s 80s cars we all know and used to love, but the 8bit lights are very cool.
I would love to see 8 bit concept led's and other things for older car conversions.
We unfortunately owned one in the 80 s ...wish it was positive reminiscing .
Absolutely spot on with the Lancia Delta Integrale, that's the first car I remember loving as a kid. Now I know why I thought the Ioniq 5 looked so good!👍
The best Ioniq 5 review hands down!
I'd like this in the garage so I can say, "bring out the gimp", when I go for a drive.
You'll have to change your name to Z for that one buddy 🤣🤣
yeah but in Geordie, "Bring oot th' gimp, pet!"

Retro and futuristic at the same time. Amazing job.
Can’t believe you can say “e-gimp” so many times with a straight face 😂
I simply love it, and that colour is stunning.
Such simple lines, detailed immaculately, it's a work of art!
And that's just the bouncy castle! :)
Totally agree!
Yes a poor man's Hyundai is work of art ahhahaha perhaps you haven't seen the Audi Etron now that's a work of art
@@sleepyjoescumbag1663 The Etron was the top selling car here in Norway 2020 (or at least top 3), they are everywhere. Quite generic in design, albeit with some fine detailing, it does not push automotive design on however. Hyundai don't seem to be restrained with the same conservative brand identity rules and have created something far more appealing
That bit at the end was just hilarious 😂
solar roof? Amazing. Hoping this becomes standard for ALL ev s
However this will not improve your range in a significant way... Its just to power all the other stuff while staying around.
Yeah, for an EXTRA 3000 pounds. Or who knows
@@-First-Last Probably much more, depending on the quality of the solar cells. You also have to make sure that these would survive the stress on the road with all the bumps. You need to have nice cable management, and a lot more quality control. Adds up to the weight, too. While people in the "sunshine"-states may profit from this, I dont see them work for everyone.
Its just not worth the hazzle.
This actually makes all other cars look out of date instantly. Well done Hyundai - this is interesting and fresh in a sea of tedious, hateful modern car design. The VW in particular looks so dull. Definitely has a William Townsend feel to it’s styling. I’m a huge fan of the 80s so definitely a hit for me. Great video indeed Jonny!
Yeah like Honda E. Astonishing designs. But Japanes really drops ball in specs.
So 40 year old styling is "fresh"??? Style is subjective and apparently many like this style which is fine. Personally, I'm turned off by angular boxy looking cars. I much prefer smoother, curvy aerodynamic styling. I think the EV6 is more attractive but the Ioniq 5 interior is more open and roomy.
That Pony concept is incredible btw
Man, for sure. I hope the platform spawns a bunch of things like this. Awesome.
@@allwheeldrive Agreed! I'd love to see more classic car designs recontextualized in this way. Some really cool possibilities.
I want the pony concept so much please Hyundai!
@@RealmDesigner sadly it is impossible because of the norms. Though there are more and more cars inspired by vintage cars
Agreed! I think it would be neat if some car manufacturers made electrified versions of their classic cars to really get people on board. Imagine a NEW Mustang that looks exactly like the debut 1964 version but built from the ground up as an EV? Or any other classic car from the past. 1955 Thunderbird? 1967 Chevy Camaro? And so on.
Korean motor industry have hold a high regard and debt to George Turnbull, former BL engineer: how he remodelled the Marina to produce the Pony, and established a new manufacturing facility. Think the retro Pony EV is amazing. I’d have one.
that car is actually on sale for about a month here in s.korea. i saw few of them on the road and that thing is huge and futuristic. what a good looking car.

Agreed. I miss him on Fully Charged. This is only the third video I’ve watched since he left.
I'm glad that electric cars are starting to look like normal cars and not some kinda shoebox from the 70s. I want smart looking cars thats why tesla even without the gadgets is still desirable.
"We only have two hours with this vehicle. Quick! Get me an electric bike, a bouncy castle and one of those wacky wavy inflatable tube guys.. NOW!!! Also... go round up some kids, ok?"

Forget range anxiety. I was counting the timer down with my AD anxiety. I thought you'd forgotten to include it. Because, after all, no self-respecting EV review is complete without a cameo from an air dancer. Good work, sir.
Car's nice.
I absolutely love that you put the car specs in the description. Your review format is also one of my favorites, really good balance between laid back commentary and really relevant info.
THIS is the EV i was waiting for, concept car looks! At first i thought “decent size”.....then i saw Jonny sitting in it and suddenly it looks rather large!
Judging by its range, size, room space, frank and boot I suggest it will be good car to use as taxi.
Oh God, Ever since I first saw one I want one
Same here!!
This is what modern cars should look like. I hate all the cars on the market right now they look so outdated. Thank you for this Hyundai and Tesla design.
The exterior of a Tesla does not look any different or more modern than a present day Toyota Camry..
eeeeh, Tesla design?
It may be futuristic on the inside, but a Tesla looks as much outdated as any other car from 2013.
I wouldn't include Tesla's design. Their cars remind me of those anonymous blobs used in car ads in the 1990s. The Ioniq 5 and the Taycan are examples of good design in my opinion.
Smith Js. You are full of S**t. Had a look outside at a CHR or Honda E ?? or the only Hybrid/Electric I would touch, the Lexus UX250h. A Hyawndai loaded with hi tech electronics, no thanks
I can definitely vouch for Hyundai/Kia's quality workmanship, at least of late. They have improved immensely since the Pony debuted in the Canadian market in the mid eighties. I have a 2016 Kia Soul EV+ - my first Kia or Hyundai and also my first EV ever - and every switch, dial, lever, hinge, knob and button has a solid no-wiggle feel to it. It is smooth, quiet and as powerful as it needs to be (it feels WAY faster than its specs, especially from zero to about 45 mph) and is a pleasure to drive. And this is true: Every single person who has ridden in it has stated that their next car will be an EV. Maybe they would say that with any EV they ride in, but in any case I'm happy to spread the word!
By the way, I bought it used last year with less than 18000 miles on it for under $13000US, with one owner and in basically new condition. There are LOTS of great deals to be found in used EVs, starting at well under $10,000. You won't regret it!
With Jonny being so tall, I can never quite place how big a car really is
Audi has that chief designer who is by his own word a little below 2 meters. He makes all the ev he has presented look like a compact car.
How tall is he? I'm 6 ft 4 and head room is a concern with any car purchase but it looked like he had plenty of room with this car.
throws me everytime. I thought this was a small honda e hatchback competitor at first glance
Just think HOOOOOOJ!
It's slightly bigger than an ID4.
I love the way Jonny presents, informative and easy to understand even if you're not a car person. The humour is spot on, has the perfect balance! Always keeps me glued to it end and thats not a easy feat considering the new trend of quick media consumption.
To me Jonny is the best Brit car youtuber!
@@anemeth9281 He is amongst my top 3, really entertaining!

I feel like you and Richard are going to have a lot of fun with E-gimp
I doubt that... 😏
The lounge concept is brilliant, very clever! Take the pain out of having to wait for your charge. Hyundai is really developing some nice cars in the last five years or so.
Wow! The style/lines of a VW GTI, the size and capacity of a Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, the quickness of a real sports car and a fully designed car from the ground up. I have to get one!
I’ve never been a huge fan of 80’s esthetic but I love the looks of the Ioniq 5. It’s a vehicle I would get out of and look back at as I walk away. It’s probably also the closest thing to a hatchback we will get in North America so it’s definitely on the short list. Great content as usual Jonny. 👍
Corey Schmidt
The Hyundai cheapness here, this is not on apple levels!
the '70 ich pony is better? 80s?
Head of Design is in for a few awards with this one
The reason you see the resemblance to Lancia delta is that both that and Hyundai Pony, from which Ioniq 5 inherits its design, are designed by the same person, Giorgetto Giugiaro.
Side profile screamed Delta Integrale as soon as I saw it. Glad I'm not mad (not on my own, anyway)
The Lancia Delta for me is my dream car, the fact that the ioniq 5 looks like it, it's major selling point. I love the look of it.
This guy is the best reviewer out there.
Hyundai Pony Runner from 1982 was my first car. Loving this new car immensely.
Before I saw your vid I thought this could be a game changer- now that I’ve seen it I know this will be a game changer.

@@evilmario6061 I also appreciate the bigger lean towards sustainability etc that FC has. The look, drive and space is all useful information, but it's kinda dull.

Yeah it’s the charging speed for me. We don’t need huge batteries, we need efficiency and fast recharging. I hope there will be more efficient ioniq cars in the future

I really love the whole package of the car. Makes more sense than an overpriced Tesla.
Agree, plus I think the Tesla Model X also looks terrible, whereas the Hyundai looks futuristic in the best way possible. Hyundai/Kia have been awesome recently IMO: with the Kia Stinger, Hyundai i30n and i20n, plus the Ioniq5 and Kia EV6 all being pretty awesome cars
@@robinthebobin6537 Not a competitor for the Model X matey!🤦🏿♀️
@@colors6692 I know (I'll ignore the patronising "matey"). The fact is, I was drawing a comparison between the looks of the cars. I think the Ioniq 5 looks miles better than the Model X (my opinion), and the fact that it's not a competitor for the Model X (which is obviously the case given the price) makes it even better how good the Hyundai is.
@@colors6692 The Model X is faster, has cool doors, probably a bit more range and tesla infotainment (and I'll admit, tesla's infotainment system is brilliant and class leading). I struggle to see where it outperforms the Ioniq 5 in any other relevant departments, hence the "overpriced" from the original commenter.
A fully spec-ed Ioniq 5 is about £55k, ordered new. The Model X starts at £100k. I don't have the money for either, but I know which one I'd choose, and it would probably be the same choice even if they were both 55k
Air Dancer and Bouncy Castle rentals were well worth it . I will remember this for eternity. Thumbs up.
Looks like a VW Golf and what VW should have made. Like a proper cool hot hatch. Actually in the side profile it could be the big brother to the Honda-E. Which is great for Hyundai if those are the connections and associations my brain is making.
Hyundai seem to have an "unnecessary vent deletion department".
VW Group, take note?
Not at all likeca Golf. Ioniq5 much bigger, more like an ID4.

dammmmn hyundai is bringing the heat! ioniq 5 looks like a serious contender
When the first pictures of this car came in to my feed, I cheered massively '' YEA Lancia Delta is back!! '' 🤣 when I went through the article and came to realize that it's a hyundai and an EV.. I was and remain all kinds of confused! Never the less I like it lots!
Your production has improved so much with every video. Love the snarky comments and silliness at the end of the children and bouncy castle. This looks like a brilliant car!
Just Amazing. Hyundai are really hitting the sweet spot. I have been a big fan of Hyundai for 20 years. Had a Santa Fe for 8 years. The Ioniq 5 is what a 2021 car should be. If they get the price point right it will fly out the door. Great programme Jonny!!
Cool! I recently saw the Doug DeMuro review of this, in which he showed a North American spec model, so left-hand drive, and so I never thought UA-cam would recommend me this video where I get to see what the right-hand drive interior (and V2L adaptor for Type G) looks like! Cool!

Thanks man!
Oh, and the kids at the end... A very nice touch of humanity after the shit year that we have all endured. Just good to see kids having normal kid fun again!
Theres a whole lot of Alfa Romeo SZ going on at the front too, it looks fab!
Best car related content on UA-cam...I’m not even that interested in cars but love this channel.
Same here.
For me it looks like a concept car from the 1980s, including the dashboard. I love it. Finally an EV that would tempt me away from IC-engined cars.
ok, so a bouncy castle fan uses around 800 to 1200 watts once it's inflated, so that could run for nearly 3 days! PS: Nice work Jonny!
Rear quarter angle looks familiar with Austin Princess. Also the roominess.
It looks like a AUSTIN MAESTRO i think
Love the styling of this car. At first I mistook it for the new Alfa SZ.
Ioniq might just be iconic
