This car isn't weird, it's beautiful and finally something different. I saw one of these on the road the other day and almost lost control because it looked so different and so awesome. I will be buying one at somepoint. Really happy with Hyundai's creativity here.
today's car designers are under tremendous pressure to come up with something different than what exist already. And they usually end up with something weird. It is not easy to come up with something different, yet eye pleasing.
If I ever decide to start driving again, this is exactly the kind of car I want. Hyundai/Kia have come so correct the past few years. They went from bottom-barrel to top-tier in the mainstream segment surprisingly quickly. Every vehicle in their lineups is a real contender.
had one of those parked nearby and it actually had people stop to look at it. It's a cool design, absolutely makes it clear that it's a neat new, snazzy electric car without going all overly weird like some other brands did in the past especially.
It's quirky car and a Hyundai that i'd drive. I really like it. It isn't a "space ship" and it isn't empty and naked inside like a Tesla. Plus it's rwd. Nice!
I think his overuse of weird and quirky we're a little bit over-the-top. I agree, I think it's a good looking car and has a lot of good merits to it. The only bad thing is the Hyundai dealership where I went added a $5,000 premium to the price... I and at least three other people just walked away after hearing that. The EV Revolution is here, but it will be slowed down by adding $5,000 premiums to the price of new EV cars. By the way the the magnet for the most part is used to hold your phone but can be used for other things I'm sure.
I love the retro styling of this thing, it looks like a concept car. It's so nice that they translated the concept design to the final production vehicle.
Even though I might not always like it, I do appreciate how hard Hyundai are unleashing their styling designers. They stick out on the road. Also, the magnetic panel is most likely a phone holder, lots of phone mounting widgets use a magnet that you stick to the back of your phone.
@@jeffk464 Well it's a lot bigger, but also has way more power and acceleration since it's electric. The weight is also under you, and it's RWD, so I would say better than the VW in both those areas. You just can't compare driving a tiny car to a bigger one unless the bigger one has much more power, bigger brakes and so on to make it feel similar.
Thats exactly right. In S.Korea everyone uses their phone navi over car navi and mount it up front, because businesses and roads change so fast that car navi become inaccurate after a few months. So people just use their phones for accuracy. The roads in the major city can be unending mazes. Edit: Mainly to keep up with correct speed limits and traffic cams that are everywhere. I dont know about other countries but S.Korean navi warns you if you are about to approach a speed cam. Car navis sometimes display incorrect speed limit which in turn you end up with fines. Smart phone navis are always up to date so its just common practice here.
@Jori Diculous I think they mean that it will break down in 20,000 miles like some of Hyundai’s previous cars lol But I think Hyundai has gotten just a little better in recent years in the safety and reliability aspects.
Never thought I'd say it but this and the EV6 are currently the best looking cars on the road by a wide margin. I've never wanted an electric car before but I would take either of these in a heartbeat
love ‘em or hate em, recently hyundai has consistently popped out cars with unique designs that are attractive but not too weird, props to their design team!
This is the coolest looking production car in years. Hyundai knocked it out of the park. I would love this same design, in actual small hatchback form.
I've watched a lot of reviews on this car now, but what caught me in the first two minutes of this review is something I hadn't noticed before. Hyundai perfectly spaced the angled lines on the fenders so that the rear door gap blends in. Bravo on the guy who designed that
nowhere as Sleek & AERO as the Tesla model Y. and the AUSTIN made model Y is the BEST car made in NORTH AMERICA. only, GigaBerlin makes a COMPARABLE car for the EU market.

Another good thing worth mentioning about Kia/Hyundai models is they update their maps for free. I have a 2017 Ioniq and have been getting built-in nav updates via SD card since I bought it all for free. This really helps with the livability of your car long-term as you don't need to shell out hundreds at the dealership to get them to update it for you.
I bought a RWD SE trim IONIQ 5 about 3 weeks ago, and I have loved it so far. I was able to get it at MSRP, which was quite difficult in itself. I just bought a magnet to try to use the magnetic panel for my phone, but we will see.
The bonus cushion at the foot of the driver seat isn't a thigh support adjustment. It's supposed to function as an Ottoman. When you are stopped and charging somewhere and you have nowhere to go whilst you wait for said charge, they included this for people who may want to just lie back and relax in what is almost a recliner. If im not mistaken there is a button in the car somewhere that I think does this automatically, like a "max" or "max relax" or "max recline" button that does all the seat adjustment and ottoman deployment in one touch.
Yeah other reviewers have mentioned this. It's an example of how Doug sometimes doesn't do enough research on the vehicles he's reviewing, otherwise he would have known about this feature.
@@alexbeattie5621 ye. It's a good and a bad thing. It does seem inconsistent at times. We can observe that he mainly researches the older cars for the channel. A lot of the newer ones get a lot of arbitrary numbers thrown out. Many times the horsepower numbers are inaccurate or something. But at the same time it's good that he doesn't parrot what everyone else says all the time. If you watch other car review channels of the same car, they're pretty much all the same: point camera, list specs, move on. This one, and Savagegeese are really the only two _different_ review channels I'm subbed to. Him going in not having the manufacturer talking sheet all the time could help us out too in some ways. I just figured I'd comment what this piece is incase he genuinely wanted to know, or any of his viewers needed to know. But most of us probably knew more about this car than he did. Hell I own its sibling... the EV6.
@@devongee1776 Agreed. I do appreciate that his reviews are independent and he doesn't just spout off what the manufacturer tells him, but sometimes it's a bit annoying when he doesn't know what a feature is when it's been covered by many other people. Personally my favourite review channel is now Throttle House, they're the perfect blend of comedy, info, and a solid review on the vehicle.
Totally agree. He also doesnt realize the magnet beside the drivers display is for phones with magnetic mounts. Sometimes really surprises me how he misses basic common sense stuff. He’s also very late to reviewing this so he definitely could have watched other youtuber’s reviews.
I'm absolutely in-love with this walk towards "futuristic throwback retro designs" I like that something looks like it's both from the year 1980 and 2080 at the same time.
Drove one yesterday as well as the Mustang Mach-E. That was my first time driving an electric car. It felt weird but really cool at the same time. The hardest thing to get used to is the rapid deceleration from the regenerative braking when lifting off the pedal.
Test drove the EV6, and I'm legitimately surprised by the differences between these. Not just a badge job like the domestic makers do with their brands, they actually differentiated features. EV6 has the different HVAC controls and USB C everywhere, Ionic 5 has that big panoramic roof and remote control charge door. Just a few of the differences... Kia/Hyundai are doing it right, same platform for development, remarkably different how you'd live with them.
It was a tough decision but I went with the EV6 for the interior. I mean that's what I see most when driving, right? I still like the look of the Hyundai. Indeed they've done well.
yeah when they announced it was the same platform I was thinking, if I buy one in just gonna get whatever one will cost less because I figured it's gonna be like Chevy/Pontiac work. lol
@@nattokami9598 I liked the ev6 interior more when I first saw it in pictures, but when I sat on them both I fall in love with ioniq5 interior..ev6 has too much plastic and It feels way cramped then ioniq5. Just my thoughts..
I love the styling. Seeing it in person it's so much bigger than it looks on screen, and it stands out. Me and my sister were looking at it for like 3 minutes. I think the design will age well
I actually test drove one last week from our local Hyundai Dealer and it was awesome. One of the things that caught my attention was, that even though the car takes a futuristic and modern approach, they still decided to put buttons in for the infotainment system below the touchscreeen. I hate the fact that other manufacturers go only screens. I still like a turning knob for the volume rather than having to find the button on the touch display and pushing it multiple times to turn up the volume while driving. What’s wrong with putting in some of the most essential buttons. So hats of to Hyundai for going with some buttons!
Starting to see a couple of these pop up in my city. This and the EV6 are fantastic cars in my opinion, solid range, futuristic styling, not excessively overpriced.
I see these every so often. I liked them when I saw them on UA-cam and in renderings, but in person… incredible. So far my favorite one I’ve seen was a black one. It truly stands out and punches well above its price bracket in terms of head turns.
Things he missed. Driving and parking with the keyfob. Zero G mode on the Seats (thats why the car has the front leg-rest) Electric rear seats, for more cargo room or more legroom.
If you want to open the boot, you just stand in front of it and it detects the key in your pocket and opens without you having to use the key or wave your leg under the car. Great for when you have your hands full and much easier then hopping on one leg
Great overall vehicle and one of the best EVs. It's about 4x as efficient as a gas car (100 MPGe) and ultra cheap to charge at home ($5-8). Plus no oil changes and very little maintenance. So over 5 yrs most ppl will save $10-15k on fuel & maintenance. Plus it's really fun to drive, the instant acceleration and throttle response from the high torque motors will put a smile on your face!
@@killacamfoo The modern batteries with thermal management systems last a long time, similar to a gas engine. While a gas engine has over 2000 parts, an electric motor has about 30. It's such a simple design that is way more reliable.
1. The design on the speakers and cup holders is a 3D cube which is a variant of a pixel square just FYI and 2. USB A makes way more sense as most cables and companies still leverage the technology more so than USB C. I actually appreciate it since I have so many of the cables. 3. The leg rest is to go into relaxation mode which puts the driver seat fully flat and reclined. It is not meant for thigh support while driving.
Same reason why I think the Toyota Matrix is actually kinda cool. Mundane car, sure. It has more in common with a hatch and wagon than an SUV. Hose-down rear section, pop up glass on the hatch... And yet it's short like a hatch.
Why call everything "weird". A manufacturer decides to design a car that does not conform to the "norm". Who defines normal anyway? I think this looks brilliant and well done to Hyundai for designing something different.
Because he’s just babbling at this point. He’ll wax endlessly about how cool some mid 80s thing that was a POS when it was new, but them call one of the best new designs in years “weird” for no good reason.
We picked one of these up a couple weeks ago and have absolutely fallen in love! It's quirky and actually looks a lot better in person then you'd think. We get a surprising amount of head turns. 😁
I actually just test drove one. I have a 3P currently and had a model y before. This car fits right in the middle. Seems like the right size. Sport mode sucks the gas pedal is jumpy hard to explain. Nice car overall but for the money I’d honestly recommend a Tesla model Y
@@freddybell8328 - the Hyundai GIMP platform was made for ICE cars origionally . and adapted for BEV platform. as such its bult like an ICE car ENGINE up front with RWD. so its too HEAVY and SLOW. and the WEIGHT bias is off.
I personally love it! It looks like nothing else on the road and I love its quirky styling. So many crossovers or electric cars do not look as cool as this, they all look bland. I saw one in traffic in black and had to do a double-take because I haven't really seen many of them in New Jersey at least. It really looks futuristic, especially against the normal everyday cars everyone drives
That magnetic panel is most likely for a magnetic phone holder. You attach the magnet to your smartphone and then the phone attaches to a holder you usually glue on the dash, but with this you do not need the second part, you could just put your phone on that panel. Very nice feature.
In my opinion the rectangular and pixelated lights look awesome and distinctive. There's only so many ways you can design a flowy or curvy lights these days that stand out from the rest curvy and flowy lights. The easiest way to stand out is to go the opposite way, and look damn good while doing so.
I was shocked at how amazing it looked in person. Hyundai did an amazing job and I hope they take this design and incorporate it into their other models
Absolutely love this cool design of '2022 Hyundai Ioniq', definitely reminds me of some ancient car designs but this one is unique. Amazing lights feature 3:14, especially the front lights. COOL!!
The company wants Hyundai to be their slightly nicer brand with Kia being their bottom tier and Genesis being their highest. It's sort of like Toyota being the lower tier to Lexus or Volkswagen being lower than Audio and that lower than porsche, etc.
I don't really see your point, so i'm interested in your elaboration. Also, i feel KIA is more focused on driving experience and Hyundai on comfort. Hence why the EV6 has better driving experience but less back seat practicality. Also, let's not forget the stinger GT is coming from KIA and as far as i'm aware, hyundai does not have an N-badged sedan to rival. Argument seems kinda weird with the i20N, i30N and elantra N though, nevertheless it is how i feel. Feel free to disagree.
Never thought I’d be busting a fat one all over a picture of a Hyundai taped to my BTS body pillow, but man they’ve been killing it for their new models
I don’t think I’ll ever get one either, just out of brand snobbery, but I love seeing them on the road, look so much better than the basic American shit floating around
Fangirling over a car brand is one of the most cringiest and most bizarre things I have ever heard in the car community, bro they just make cars, no need to fangirl them, or is it because they collaborated with BTS? Edit: Lmfao, you edited your comment as a result 😂
@@jc_47 you think I’m actually going crazy over them🗿 I just used the word Bc it’s a little more pg than saying I busted a fat one over a magazine cutout of an Elantra N taped to my bts body pillow, maybe I should edit the comment🤔
Hi Doug! I just purchased a 2024 Ionic 5. I love the style and the performance. It is so easy to charge. Watching your review of the Ionic 5 gave me the confidence to buy one. Thank you!
Love the review; I saw one of these and also Hyundai’s plug-in hybrids. Can the magnetic pad be used to hold your phone? I think yes! Many similar products already sold everywhere and this is integrated in the dash instead of sticking on it and only for 3 months before the glue fails. This is brilliant!
@@musho86 I agree. Too much just chuckled-off or made fun of. Duda had 4 million subscribers, yet seems rushed and not truly trying to show us how things work.
I think it is an awesome design, inside and out, sure some people are gonna love it, some people are gonna hate it but you gotta give it to Hyundai for being unique👌💯
The amount of times the words "Weird" and "strange" were mentioned is like what are you are talking about??? Bizarre? Unusual? One of the coolest new car designs!
It'd also be great to have a supermini with 300 miles range which I believe isn't possible with today's technology. Part of the SUV crossover design is just to cater for batteries. Most of it ofc is consumer demand.
I really like that this car feels designed, rather than just made. The angular lines and "pixels" are refreshingly retro-futuristic imo, and the repeated elements on the interior show attention to detail.
Without a doubt this is one of the ONLY new cars I have any interest in thanks to the great styling. Kia version is also amazing looking but this one wins.
@@mcslender2965 The GV60 is also a great car and will have the most premium interior, but the exterior is a more conservative design. More rounded and less distinctive.
Looks amazing! I felt Doug was pretty annoying to listen to this time. He kept saying weird and strange over and over. I've driven one and it was excellent. The Ioniq 5 outperforms nearly everything in the moose test. In 3rd party testing it has done the 0-60 in 4.8-4.9 seconds. It really seems like Doug is trying to down play how good the car is. Not sure why?
Seems fairly common for UA-cam reviewers to overly emphasize the subjective based on their preference. These are more like unboxing videos than automotive journalism.
Agreed. Not sure I understand the relatively low accel score. Refers to "great acceleration numbers" in the video, but does poorly against the Model Y. And the pixelated theme isn't so quirky or weird, lot of drama over nothing.
Such a cool car and design. Started seeing them more and more around London- it's bigger than I thought it would be? Just by pictures I thought it'd be like a proper little hatchback
I've been told those four dots on the wheel are basically a Morse code for the letter "H". And again, the magnetic panel is kinda handy to stick your parking tickets and other like stuff.

I love the RetroFuturist look of the Ioniq 5...at $40K for the base model (yeah, it'll probably be $50K plus in the real world) it will be cheaper than a Tesla, and the Hyundai owners will get much better after-the-sale service.
The IONIQ5 looks absolutely beautiful. Easily my favorite electric crossover to date. Reminiscent of the Lancia Delta. Hyundai has taken it to another level in automotive design and technology. ✌🏻
@@Kamikazekims except it looks nothing like the Pony but more like the Delta. Thankfully, there will be a true revival of the Delta Integrale with round LED lights and fully electric. I just hope they will manage to make the steering as precise as in the 90s.

When you are stopped and charging somewhere and you have nowhere to go whilst you wait for said charge, they included this for people who may want to just lie back and relax in what is almost a recliner. If im not mistaken there is a button in the car somewhere that I think does this automatically, like a "max" or "max relax" or "max recline" button that does all the seat adjustment and ottoman deployment in one touch.
Yeah other reviewers have mentioned this. It's an example of how Doug sometimes doesn't do enough research on the vehicles he's reviewing, otherwise he would have known about this feature.
@@alexbeattie5621 ye. It's a good and a bad thing. It does seem inconsistent at times. We can observe that he mainly researches the older cars for the channel. A lot of the newer ones get a lot of arbitrary numbers thrown out. Many times the horsepower numbers are inaccurate or something. But at the same time it's good that he doesn't parrot what everyone else says all the time. If you watch other car review channels of the same car, they're pretty much all the same: point camera, list specs, move on.
This one, and Savagegeese are really the only two _different_ review channels I'm subbed to.
Him going in not having the manufacturer talking sheet all the time could help us out too in some ways. I just figured I'd comment what this piece is incase he genuinely wanted to know, or any of his viewers needed to know. But most of us probably knew more about this car than he did. Hell I own its sibling... the EV6.
@@devongee1776 Agreed. I do appreciate that his reviews are independent and he doesn't just spout off what the manufacturer tells him, but sometimes it's a bit annoying when he doesn't know what a feature is when it's been covered by many other people. Personally my favourite review channel is now Throttle House, they're the perfect blend of comedy, info, and a solid review on the vehicle.
@@alexbeattie5621 I do like me some Throttle House as well.
Totally agree. He also doesnt realize the magnet beside the drivers display is for phones with magnetic mounts. Sometimes really surprises me how he misses basic common sense stuff. He’s also very late to reviewing this so he definitely could have watched other youtuber’s reviews.
I'm absolutely in-love with this walk towards "futuristic throwback retro designs" I like that something looks like it's both from the year 1980 and 2080 at the same time.
Drove one yesterday as well as the Mustang Mach-E. That was my first time driving an electric car. It felt weird but really cool at the same time. The hardest thing to get used to is the rapid deceleration from the regenerative braking when lifting off the pedal.
have you driven a car with a manual trans? how would you compare the deceleration when letting off
it's the regenerative braking
you can increase or decrease this braking thing
@@averye I have. And it’s certainly more intense on the electric car.
@@jamesengland7461 Yep. Other than that, they were both such cool cars that I wouldn’t mind owning.
Test drove the EV6, and I'm legitimately surprised by the differences between these. Not just a badge job like the domestic makers do with their brands, they actually differentiated features. EV6 has the different HVAC controls and USB C everywhere, Ionic 5 has that big panoramic roof and remote control charge door. Just a few of the differences... Kia/Hyundai are doing it right, same platform for development, remarkably different how you'd live with them.
Man I just wished the Ioniq 5 had Kia’s interior
It was a tough decision but I went with the EV6 for the interior. I mean that's what I see most when driving, right? I still like the look of the Hyundai. Indeed they've done well.
yeah when they announced it was the same platform I was thinking, if I buy one in just gonna get whatever one will cost less because I figured it's gonna be like Chevy/Pontiac work. lol
Yep, went EV6 because I liked the interior better, wife thought ionic 5 was too “weird”. “Ordered” one a month ago, let’s see how long the wait is…
@@nattokami9598 I liked the ev6 interior more when I first saw it in pictures, but when I sat on them both I fall in love with ioniq5 interior..ev6 has too much plastic and It feels way cramped then ioniq5. Just my thoughts..
I love the styling. Seeing it in person it's so much bigger than it looks on screen, and it stands out. Me and my sister were looking at it for like 3 minutes. I think the design will age well
One of the most beautiful and coolest new cars on the market right now. Hyundai is really nailing their designs recently!
Beautiful LMAO no
Weird how you call Hyundai's beautiful, but call Kia's ugly. That's like calling a Lincoln beautiful and calling Ford's ugly
It's a great looking car when you see it in person. Pics don't do it justice.
@@blackvr4tt I've seen it in person, looks like a Kia Soul with LEDs
@@resetgang6638 Kia Soul is smaller and a different shape....so I don't agree
Lancia didn't come out with a new Delta, so Hyundai did it
It literally looks like a car I wouldve drawn in the 80s if someone asked me to draw a car from the 2000s. I love it!
I actually test drove one last week from our local Hyundai Dealer and it was awesome. One of the things that caught my attention was, that even though the car takes a futuristic and modern approach, they still decided to put buttons in for the infotainment system below the touchscreeen. I hate the fact that other manufacturers go only screens. I still like a turning knob for the volume rather than having to find the button on the touch display and pushing it multiple times to turn up the volume while driving. What’s wrong with putting in some of the most essential buttons. So hats of to Hyundai for going with some buttons!
I love the retro-styling that this car does. It blends modern design & retro beauty together very well.
These catch my eye every single time I see one on the road i absolutely love them
Doug can you please do a detailed Doug score again like you used to do? I really loved how you would go over each point individually
Have been asking the same,earlier he used to cut short this for older cars,but,now even new ones dont get detailed explanation.
Most ppl don't watch the detailed score so that's why he shortened it
Agreed. Detailed Dougscores are one of the highlights, always looking for them... and Doug ditching them :/
I agree
Please ^^^
I drove past one on a little side street, and thought it was an Audi… now I really want one. It ticks all the styling queues for me.
Starting to see a couple of these pop up in my city. This and the EV6 are fantastic cars in my opinion, solid range, futuristic styling, not excessively overpriced.
I love this design. Stands out so we’ll without being too showy. I think the retro-future look is great and Hyundai is nailing it here.
Design is still loading and in low res atm
I've fallen in love with this car ever since it was first previewed. I absolutely adore the design!
I have seen quite a few of these on the road, and IMO they are one of the best looking EVs out there
Personally, I believe this car looks just fine. It somehow reminds me of the late 1980's Lancia Delta Integralle.
Integrale* HF 16V
The Ioniq5 was designed as an homage to the 70s Hyundai Pony,
and the Pony was designed by Giugiaro, the same guy that designed the Delta.
@@markshkim the more you know. cheers buddy
I sell them and i say it everytime i look at it
I think it's gorgeous, it's exactly the kind of look I like in cars, Angular but not boxy, slightly curvy.
I have never stopped to look at the styling of a car so fast. Absolutely fantastic from Hyundai
I see these every so often. I liked them when I saw them on UA-cam and in renderings, but in person… incredible. So far my favorite one I’ve seen was a black one. It truly stands out and punches well above its price bracket in terms of head turns.
Things he missed.
Driving and parking with the keyfob.
Zero G mode on the Seats (thats why the car has the front leg-rest)
Electric rear seats, for more cargo room or more legroom.
Powered rear seats is only in other countries, not available on the USA Limited Trim he's reviewing in this video.
Also missed that the pixels on the steering wheel are Morse Code for "H".
The frunk is also twice the size on a rwd car.
He also forgot to mention that the silver bar across the front of the car has an ambient light that you can see at night
Does the US not the the interior power outlet?
That is absolutely one of the sexiest looking cars to come out this past decade. Its not weird its awesome
They really nailed this. Never thought a Hyundai would look this cool!
So I guess you’ve had your eyes closed for the last 5 years lol
Not my preferred styling but I still give it 10/10. So many elements and they all seem to work. 👍
If you want to open the boot, you just stand in front of it and it detects the key in your pocket and opens without you having to use the key or wave your leg under the car. Great for when you have your hands full and much easier then hopping on one leg
Doug's the type of guy to jumpstart an electric car when it runs out of range
How do you do that
Great overall vehicle and one of the best EVs.
It's about 4x as efficient as a gas car (100 MPGe) and ultra cheap to charge at home ($5-8). Plus no oil changes and very little maintenance.
So over 5 yrs most ppl will save $10-15k on fuel & maintenance.
Plus it's really fun to drive, the instant acceleration and throttle response from the high torque motors will put a smile on your face!
until you need to replace the battery or do anything at all with the powertrain.
@@killacamfoo The modern batteries with thermal management systems last a long time, similar to a gas engine.
While a gas engine has over 2000 parts, an electric motor has about 30. It's such a simple design that is way more reliable.
@@killacamfoo get rid of it before warranty is up.
So what Hyundai Dealership do you work at?
I’ve seen some estimates that motors could be good for a million miles and batteries for 500,000 miles
1. The design on the speakers and cup holders is a 3D cube which is a variant of a pixel square just FYI and 2. USB A makes way more sense as most cables and companies still leverage the technology more so than USB C. I actually appreciate it since I have so many of the cables. 3. The leg rest is to go into relaxation mode which puts the driver seat fully flat and reclined. It is not meant for thigh support while driving.
I absolutely LOVE the look of this thing. Definitely has an 80s scifi/video game aesthetic
This is my new favourite car. So quirky and such an elegant design. Good job Hyundai!
For me this is one of the most desirable new cars to come out in a LONG time, and that's coming from someone who dailys a W140...
I like the fact that it looks more like a hatchback than an SUV...
That's true, I didn't realise how big it was until I saw one in person
Same reason why I think the Toyota Matrix is actually kinda cool. Mundane car, sure. It has more in common with a hatch and wagon than an SUV. Hose-down rear section, pop up glass on the hatch... And yet it's short like a hatch.
I drive mine everyday, and I love every seacond of it. I love quirky cool cars and this is it! Super comfy ride and no range anxiety.
Does it have apple car play?
@@redeclipzegsx it does, android auto too
@@redeclipzegsx It has apple carplay and Android Auto
When fully charged how many hours car it go for?
I've seen quite a few of these and they look fantastic in the flesh. They really stand out and the interior is lovely.
Those box lights are so FREAKING NICE! I actually like this car. Very different and spot on with a new and experimental design
Why call everything "weird". A manufacturer decides to design a car that does not conform to the "norm". Who defines normal anyway? I think this looks brilliant and well done to Hyundai for designing something different.
Toyota also did the same thing with the CHR, yet people called them ugly for being distinctive and different from Karen Crossovers
It's weird In a good way where the EQS is weird in a bad way
Because he’s just babbling at this point. He’ll wax endlessly about how cool some mid 80s thing that was a POS when it was new, but them call one of the best new designs in years “weird” for no good reason.
This is why this car won several international awards!…amazing futuristic car ahead i all aspect againts it competitors!…
We picked one of these up a couple weeks ago and have absolutely fallen in love! It's quirky and actually looks a lot better in person then you'd think. We get a surprising amount of head turns. 😁
Nice! Expensive to own?
Really!! That's a lot of stupid people
@@sixdegreesofgaming4719 honestly no. Dirt cheap with the free 30 minute charging at EA stations.
@@Megalith_ How has it been? I'm looking for one!
Which Trim?
If I were to buy an EV, this is my first choice! Hyundai and Kia been killing it lately!
KIA/Hyundai are doing a better job than gm /FUD motors.
but they are still using OUTDATED platform , compared to AUSTIN model Y.
I actually just test drove one. I have a 3P currently and had a model y before. This car fits right in the middle. Seems like the right size. Sport mode sucks the gas pedal is jumpy hard to explain. Nice car overall but for the money I’d honestly recommend a Tesla model Y
@@markplott4820 how?
@@freddybell8328 - the Hyundai GIMP platform was made for ICE cars origionally .
and adapted for BEV platform.
as such its bult like an ICE car ENGINE up front with RWD. so its too HEAVY and SLOW. and the WEIGHT bias is off.
Agreed 💯
I personally love it! It looks like nothing else on the road and I love its quirky styling. So many crossovers or electric cars do not look as cool as this, they all look bland. I saw one in traffic in black and had to do a double-take because I haven't really seen many of them in New Jersey at least. It really looks futuristic, especially against the normal everyday cars everyone drives
That magnetic panel is most likely for a magnetic phone holder. You attach the magnet to your smartphone and then the phone attaches to a holder you usually glue on the dash, but with this you do not need the second part, you could just put your phone on that panel. Very nice feature.
Wonder if it charges?
@@nhr27 does it?????
I think the design is very well thought out and goes through eveything. As a designer I love all the details that get repeated.
Please get a brain check
Doug DeMuro not realizing the magnetic panel on the dash is for your cell phone is priceless lol
In my opinion the rectangular and pixelated lights look awesome and distinctive. There's only so many ways you can design a flowy or curvy lights these days that stand out from the rest curvy and flowy lights. The easiest way to stand out is to go the opposite way, and look damn good while doing so.
I need to see one in person but for the exterior styling I absolutely love the design!
I have seen one in person and they really stand out they're pretty neat
Looks even better in person
I was shocked at how amazing it looked in person. Hyundai did an amazing job and I hope they take this design and incorporate it into their other models
They're deceptively big. You'd never guess because Hyundai did a great job of scaling up the retro hatchback proportions to crossover size.
Absolutely love this cool design of '2022 Hyundai Ioniq', definitely reminds me of some ancient car designs but this one is unique. Amazing lights feature 3:14, especially the front lights. COOL!!
Am I the only one thinking that Hyundai's badge fits better on the EV6 and KIA's badge better on the Ioniq 5?
Exactly what I thought!!
The company wants Hyundai to be their slightly nicer brand with Kia being their bottom tier and Genesis being their highest. It's sort of like Toyota being the lower tier to Lexus or Volkswagen being lower than Audio and that lower than porsche, etc.
I don't really see your point, so i'm interested in your elaboration. Also, i feel KIA is more focused on driving experience and Hyundai on comfort. Hence why the EV6 has better driving experience but less back seat practicality. Also, let's not forget the stinger GT is coming from KIA and as far as i'm aware, hyundai does not have an N-badged sedan to rival.
Argument seems kinda weird with the i20N, i30N and elantra N though, nevertheless it is how i feel. Feel free to disagree.
Agreed
@@Skylancer727 what "company"? Hyundai, Kia and Genesis don't have the same parent company.
These sell by the boatloads here in Norway, see them every day i am out of the house. Cool car that give me Lancia Delta HF Integrale vibes....
Looks like a car you would drive in Cyberpunk! :)
I saw one of these the other day. It looked so futuristic on the road. It definitely turned my head
Never thought I’d be busting a fat one all over a picture of a Hyundai taped to my BTS body pillow, but man they’ve been killing it for their new models
I don’t think I’ll ever get one either, just out of brand snobbery, but I love seeing them on the road, look so much better than the basic American shit floating around
Fangirling over a car brand is one of the most cringiest and most bizarre things I have ever heard in the car community, bro they just make cars, no need to fangirl them, or is it because they collaborated with BTS?
Edit: Lmfao, you edited your comment as a result 😂
@@roddydykes7053
Brand snobbering? Huh, first time ever hearing such a reason for not buying an EV.
@@jc_47 you think I’m actually going crazy over them🗿 I just used the word Bc it’s a little more pg than saying I busted a fat one over a magazine cutout of an Elantra N taped to my bts body pillow, maybe I should edit the comment🤔
Hi Doug!
I just purchased a 2024 Ionic 5. I love the style and the performance. It is so easy to charge. Watching your review of the Ionic 5 gave me the confidence to buy one. Thank you!
Love the review; I saw one of these and also Hyundai’s plug-in hybrids.
Can the magnetic pad be used to hold your phone? I think yes! Many similar products already sold everywhere and this is integrated in the dash instead of sticking on it and only for 3 months before the glue fails. This is brilliant!
Yes, the magnet dash pad is specifically for holding a phone or even a tablet.
Yeah, I don't know why Doug is mystified by this feature but to me it's pretty obvious this is exactly what it's for.
That, or a handy place for putting a parking pass other bit of paper you don't want flying around when you have the windows open.
Yes this guy is technically challenged… cant believe he only thought it was for magnets… really really makes me rethink trusting anything he says
@@musho86 I agree. Too much just chuckled-off or made fun of. Duda had 4 million subscribers, yet seems rushed and not truly trying to show us how things work.
I think it is an awesome design, inside and out, sure some people are gonna love it, some people are gonna hate it but you gotta give it to Hyundai for being unique👌💯
The amount of times the words "Weird" and "strange" were mentioned is like what are you are talking about??? Bizarre? Unusual? One of the coolest new car designs!
They need to make a subcompact hatchback with this exact design. I'd buy in a heartbeat.
Just remove the cladding and lower it.
@@automation7295 It has 3m between the wheels, nowhere near compact.
It'd also be great to have a supermini with 300 miles range which I believe isn't possible with today's technology.
Part of the SUV crossover design is just to cater for batteries. Most of it ofc is consumer demand.
Personally I love the Retro Future design and styling...
This car gives a perfect vibes of video games and 80's movies on future or something...👍🏼
Agree and agree. My first though when it came out was EV meets Tron ;)
@@TzadikTheManic yes...Tron pretty much sums it up..good example..👍🏼
I think Hyundai did current Ioniq 5 owners a disservice by changing the style so quickly with the 6
I like this car! Though it has quirky details, the profile and greenhouse reminds me of the Lancia Delta Integrale. Nice review!
The design is reminiscent of the first Hyundais all of which were designed by Giugiaro, who also designed the Delta.
The front end has a look of Alfa SZ
This car really catches my attention when I see it in town. Really head turning
Saw this one in the wild recently and i was blown away. The tail- and headlights are so cool!
I have driven several hundred kilometres as a passenger next to the driver - the car is incredibly comfortable and quiet.
"driven"
You don't drive as a passenger
They identifies as a driver. Leave they alone.
@@vincentlu36 what word should be? I couldn't find a right translation
That's what I thought, 1980's pixel aesthetic. I kind of like it.
Love the design. It's not weird or strange - so negative Doug - it's creative, special and beautiful.
I really like that this car feels designed, rather than just made. The angular lines and "pixels" are refreshingly retro-futuristic imo, and the repeated elements on the interior show attention to detail.
Without a doubt this is one of the ONLY new cars I have any interest in thanks to the great styling. Kia version is also amazing looking but this one wins.
You should check out the Genesis GV60 version of this car.
@@mcslender2965 The GV60 is also a great car and will have the most premium interior, but the exterior is a more conservative design. More rounded and less distinctive.
Idk why he continually calls every feature “weird?” I like it all !
Looks amazing! I felt Doug was pretty annoying to listen to this time. He kept saying weird and strange over and over. I've driven one and it was excellent. The Ioniq 5 outperforms nearly everything in the moose test. In 3rd party testing it has done the 0-60 in 4.8-4.9 seconds. It really seems like Doug is trying to down play how good the car is. Not sure why?
Seems fairly common for UA-cam reviewers to overly emphasize the subjective based on their preference. These are more like unboxing videos than automotive journalism.
Agreed. Not sure I understand the relatively low accel score. Refers to "great acceleration numbers" in the video, but does poorly against the Model Y. And the pixelated theme isn't so quirky or weird, lot of drama over nothing.
Such a cool car and design. Started seeing them more and more around London- it's bigger than I thought it would be? Just by pictures I thought it'd be like a proper little hatchback
I've been told those four dots on the wheel are basically a Morse code for the letter "H". And again, the magnetic panel is kinda handy to stick your parking tickets and other like stuff.
Wow!!!!!!! I waited for him to review ioniq5

Whenever I see this car on the road I truly feel like im in the retro future of 2022, like a sci fi movie. Love the design!
My eyes were glued onto it while I was driving. For a sec I thought to myself I should focus on my own driving or else I’d crashed! 😂
the design of this is car is so sweet. cant wait to buy a used one in 7 years
Great to see Hyundai putting brail on the car in preparation for our self driving future with blind and visual ly impaired drivers
I love the RetroFuturist look of the Ioniq 5...at $40K for the base model (yeah, it'll probably be $50K plus in the real world) it will be cheaper than a Tesla, and the Hyundai owners will get much better after-the-sale service.
Nothing is weird about this! Not even strange! It's so cool, definitely a future car of mine. I really love the looks of this vehicle.
The IONIQ5 looks absolutely beautiful. Easily my favorite electric crossover to date. Reminiscent of the Lancia Delta. Hyundai has taken it to another level in automotive design and technology. ✌🏻
The design of the car is supposed to be a call back to Hyundai first ever car the Hyundai pony!
@@Kamikazekims except it looks nothing like the Pony but more like the Delta. Thankfully, there will be a true revival of the Delta Integrale with round LED lights and fully electric. I just hope they will manage to make the steering as precise as in the 90s.
