Hey Mate, thanks for having me. Obviously I love the car. The ride is smooth, very quiet and incredibly spacious. The only issue I had while on my test drive (which was also in the rain) was the rear window and lack of visibility. No idea why they decided to not include a rear wiper. The heads up display has to be seen to be believed. Loved this car.
On my Mazda CX-5, I keep the rear seat backs down to give me better vision. The parking/backup sensors help a lot, and the backup camera is nice on the monitor.
Having always owned manual cars, I found the electronic gear selector on the Ioniq 5 demonstrator completely intuitive. I just wish Hyundai would hurry up and ship mine over before Christmas!
Just discovered this channel. Terrific. Love Frankie Boyle's elder brother as presenter ( I'm sure that observation has been many times before, sorry) but also someone of this generation has the memory and experience to compare with cars of previous decades which is so refreshing. Thanks!
Transmission…. No you are wrong, I can’t buy a car where Forward is Backwards and Back is forwards, it’s illogical and dangerous. Drive a boat and you have forward for forwards and back for backwards just makes sense in any world surely 🤷🏻♂️ (or is that just me) also the Poverty model (below 50K) has 18” wheels the model I drove had 19” and the ride was spot on , loved driving it for the time they let me loose 😊
I'm pretty sure that forward should be forward and backward, well... Backward! The fact that every car prior can't tell the front from the back, as a new driver, is just absurd. :)
The steering wheel (and seat) are highly adjustable. At first my screen was slightly obscured by the wheel. I nudged the wheel up a bit and can see all the screen now. I don’t have HUD
Good review. I’ve got the Project 45 version. Lovely. My only critique of the review is reference to “large car”. Whilst the wheelbase is long, the overhangs are small. So overall the car is shorter than a BMW 3 series or a Mondeo. So not that big. You can turn the lane keep assist & road departure mitigation off via the steering wheel right hand button. Yes have to do each time (legal requirement for safety score)
Great video again Bryan. Love the car but I totally agree about all the bongs and bings. It’s an annoyance that’s affecting almost every new car these days. I disagree on the drive/reverse selection though. Logically forward to go forwards and backward to go backwards makes sense. The other way around is a hangover from the “old days” when the gear leave was mechanically connected to the gearbox, and pulling the top backwards actually pushed the bottom (below the pivot point) forwards. But when you think about it, it’s totally illogical. You’re just suffering from muscle memory which going forwards, people won’t have an issue with. Jaguar did it with the buttons on the I-Pace too, and got some stuck from people for the same reason. But again, when you think about it, pushing the button nearest the front of the car for forwards and the button nearest the back of the car for reverse is actually quite sensible. There. And you thought you went on about it for too long! 🤣 Anyway. Good video. Nice car. Love the looks (although I do wonder if it’s maybe trying a bit too hard at times). And love the charging speeds!
The gear positions on the stalk are the same as on my BMW i3. I had a 3-series automatic loaner for a while and the illogical "push-forward-to drive backwards" setup irritated me no end. So ... you get used to it.
Well it's still lovely to have you here @Patricia. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Stick around for more content. We might have to ask Wayne back at some point!
@@meandthepotatoes4916 It will arrive in Québec , Canada next summer .............. if everything going well . 2 wks ago we were close to 2000 who had placed order in Canada . but it is better than the Nissan Ariya ( that I have also a pre order that I will cancel ) that was delayed at the end of 2022 / beginning of 2023 .
This is a wonderful, practical, thorough and intelligent review. Enjoyed your chat with the other fellow as well and his perspectives. Yes, this is a vehicle worth looking at if you are in the market for this type of EV in this price range. There's the sister EV as well from Kia. Great job with this review.
Hi Brian, I popped over here from Wayne’s channel. What a great car! I’m still laughing over here because we both said it looks like a piece of origami at precisely the same time 🤣. Honestly, what are the chances! I sent this over to my father too, he’s another “car guy” in the family so I’m sure he’ll pop by too! Have a great weekend & regards from Connecticut, USA 🇺🇸
Great minds think alike! Lovely to have you with us @Allyson, and your father too! Stick with us for lots more content. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Enjoyable review as ever; as brilliant as it is we're not going to try this one as its just too big - so looking forward to your review of the Ioniq 3 & 4.
@@bananaNnutella - yes, I’ve spent time in Canada, and they’re fine there - but in town in Europe they are a pain to park and on our country roads too wide.
The fog lights are in the light strip either side of the IONIQ 5 logo along with the reversing lights, they are not at the bottom, they are red reflective strips at the bottom
I haven't looked at all 862 other comments to see if anyone has asked this but please could you tell me what the colour of that car you drove is called? I love it! I'd call it "smoky blue" but no doubt Hyundai have a fancy name. I really like the car - I test drove one at Fully Charged Live! If I were to come in to some money, I'd be at the Hyundai dealership tomorrow. As things are, I just try to win competitions or the lottery.
Hi Wayne. Not one for vehicle review channels, but I came by to watch cuz Wayne said to do so. Personally, I'm not a fan of new car concepts ( I'm a die-hard American Muscle Car fan, sorry, not sorry) but I do admire all they technology they can cram into these new cars. I feel like I'm being dragged, kicking & screaming, into the 21st century. Progress, not perfection, am I right? But I'm glad I watched. Thank you for explaining some of the complicated features that I still feel are uncomfortable. I prefer to feel like I AM driving the car, not a passenger in a car virtually driving it's self. I want to "feel" the mechanics, if that makes sense. Newer cars are so very insulated that I can't hear, smell, feel the car. Feels unsafe to me. Guess I'll be sticking with my pre-2000 models, and I'm okay with that.
He is one of the few to point out the quality of the plastics on some of the buttons, inside door handles, and regen braking levers. They feel almost hollow. For the price, I'd expect higher quality there.
I test drove one a couple of weeks ago. It’s a gorgeous design with a fantastic interior and smooth quiet ride. I would have been very happy to order one (as a company car) apart from one thing. The boot, although it says 527 litres is really shallow in real life i.e. it’s flat and wide but not very tall. As we do a lot of camping and have a big dog we need something with a squarer back. It also doesn’t have roof rails (although you can get crossbars) or a factory option for a towbar, so I’ve ordered a Q4 E-Tron - also a great car. On my company scheme they have the same monthly cost in Ultimate spec (Ionic) compared to S-Line (Q4) - surprisingly a Skoda Enyaq is considerably more expensive to lease. If I was buying privately it would be a different story but for my needs I just can’t justify the compromise on practicality. Shame as if it was just for me I would have the Ionic in a heartbeat.
Had to come and check this channel out, my hubby is thinking about a new car, it's intresteing to hear your thoughts about this one..Wayne steered me over at the right time 😊 Greetings from Helsinki Finland Charlotte 👋
He's a good fellow that Wayne. Far better looking than me..... Anyway, great to have you here, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Bryan and the AutoEV team.
Yes, I just watched an entire Automobile review waiting for the arrival of your guest, our Mr. Wayne Goss! 😂 I actually found it quite enjoyable, you are very detailed and quite funny. And a British accent is never bad for these ears! Other things while your car is charging! 😂 Speaking of the other car, you never know when you might need a sandwich? Just saying? 😂 I currently drive a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport, with a working cassette player, so do you think it is time for an upgrade? 🤔 😂 It is actually a very special car, my now deceased Father purchased it for $5000 years ago, it currently has 100,000 miles and every single time I fill up the tank I have some random dude approach me and make me an offer on my car!! Her name is Jeepsie Rose, she doesn’t like the summer, but during the winter she is super fun! She has that old time Jeep “Lip” at the bottom that you need to step over to get in and out of the car and I never warn people about it, and yes, I have had people fall into and out of my car, which I find funny in a dark kind of way? 😂 thank you for your wonderful video, I have never driven a car with the driver on that side of the car or the car on that side of the road but I am hoping someday…. 💗
Great to have the pleasure of your company Terri! We love a Jeep (my wife had one, essential vehicle for suburban Surrey!) so great to hear about Jeepsie Rose. Sounds like she might be a keeper? Thanks for taking the time to watch and come here yo comment. Stick with us for even more content, including something very special and French next week! Bryan @ AutoEV
As a tall Canadian & wee Welshman in Austria, we’re always VERY conscious of the top of the window & the undercarriage height If I have to hunch to get a full window from my seating, or if the undercarriage scrapes on uneven surfaces? It is a no-go. If my Welshman has to hop a bit to saddle up to his car? He’s not happy. we often have to default to respecting road condition potential. we rented a sleek fantasy vehicle in Ibiza, several years ago,money to discover that our host’s home was on an under-development mountainside road. What a horror…

The £40k to 50k market is well served by the new cars coming on stream. But we are all waiting for someone to bring a £30k to £40k car\SUV\ crossover with decent range and some of the toys without breaking the bank.
A very interesting and thoughtful review of a vehicle that has rightly won many plaudits from commentators. I like it as much because it is so clearly different from its perceived competitors as well as being an obviously well conceived and designed EV. Your review of this car along with those you have produced about its rivals have correctly focused on how families might get on with it both in urban and non urban environments. However I think it might also be instructive if you can offer comments on how two adults might react to such vehicles and their attributes and deficiencies. For me the Ioniq 5 will be an excellent car for two people moving around the country and that is an important factor in my decision to order one.
I really like this car. Plan to buy one as soon as it is available. Am "on the list" to be among the first here in the states. Now, having said that, if you think it's a "Tesla Killer", I have a few sad realities for you. He Lost The Earth is not flat Hyundai can't/won't dedicate enough resources to "Kill" Tesla, with this car or any other. Sorry. But I do look forward to owning one, ASAP. (And not soon enough.)
The 2 motor 4 wheel drive would be the best if one motor could be totally disconnected and reconnected from the drive chain as and when required. I saw a review of an EV a few days ago and that car had that facility. Can't remember what the make was. Any one know of any that have this?
No wiper on the back windshield is a show stopper for me. Backup cams are great, but it can be hard to see what's behind that massive C pillar, even with a cam back there. I live in Edmonton and most of our winter involves sloppy roads wet with snow and sand, and I'm constantly using my rear wiper / washer to keep the back window clear. I can't imagine how often I'd have to get out to hand wash the rear windshield if I owned this car.
We have just bought the long range, rear wheel drive version in New Zealand. We like it so far, but the manual would compete with the Encyclopaedia Brittanica; I've yet to work out how to get that view of the car heading forwards back on the main screen (let me know if you know). It's already been back for a vehicle software update, plus an entertainment system update.
Dear Hyundai, whoever made the decision not to at least give us in the UK the option of a glass roof needs sacking, no rear wiper, ridiculous, so close to being a perfect ev.
I really love this car, I really want to buy it... but some things bug me... I have compared it with the tesla m3 and the ride on the i5 is soo much better. What I would like is ota updates which the i5 does not have yet no? Another thing, appearantly from other owners , the temperature of the battery, for it to be able to charge very fast it has to come up to around 20-25 degrees c but during the winter it isn't able to come up to temperature even though that you have ridden with for a while. Also I believe that it has a heat pump but if it can not bring up the temperature it really doesn't do a great job... ?! This makes me a bit worried cause the 800v system is one of my biggest arguement besides the fantastic ride quality and the spaceous room inside the car.
Just noticed how weird it is that large vehicles have a huge gap between the front seats, I guess the only sensible fix is to put more storage there. Made for couples who hate each other?
Actually, it has always irritated me that an auto box lever moves backwards to go forwards. This stalk makes more sense to me. Twist it the way you want to go.
I'm kinda torn about the design. Especially when compared to the Ariya. When I fist saw the Ariya I went eeew and when I first saw the Ioniq 5 I went WOOOOW. But the longer I look at those two, my perspective changes. Where the Ioniq 5 is pretty much all flashy effects and plays the part of a futuristic car, it actually looks like we all imagined futuristic cars in the 80s. And I doubt this sort of "effect" design will stand the test of time. Meanwhile, the Ariyas looks grew on me more and more. It's way more subtle, typical contemporary japanese design may seem awkward at first, but - as all great designs do - has a real asthetic to it. Something the Ioniq 5 completely misses out on. It's the new, white Adidas sneaker you wear to a party, only to get rid off after half a year since it's no longer new again, whereas the Ariya - so it seems to me - is more of the italian shoe variety. Those ones that you'll still have 10 years from now. Of yourse, this is only my personal view. Also, looks are only looks. So, your mileage may vary. But I can't help to be slightly underwhelmed by the Ioniq5, especially since they started popping up on the streets recently.
Ioniq 5's design que is from Hyundai's first model Pony, which was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. It's a timeless classic design IMO. Giorgetto Giugiaro is a legendary Italian car designer and you comparing Ariya to a italian shoe variety sounds funny. Then again, you should purchase whatever is that you'd require from EV daily perspective, also to your liking.
You didn't go into detail of 2 of the most valued things on the car (1 is an option) - The 800 volt architecture that enables on a suitable charger some of the fastest charging rates of any EV (especially at the price range) and the option V2L (Vehicle to Load) you did mention the 3 pin plug between the rear seats, but not the adapter that plugs into the charge port and gives you an external 3 pin plug that outputs 3.7kWh, for running more or less anything you want and you could also use your granny charger from this port to charge (albeit slowly) another EV.
Gosh, tough question! Very different cars, the BMW was a real surprise to us being way better than we had anticipated. The Hyundai though is such a breath of fresh air, and much more unique.
Ev's are not killing anything until the price is affordable for those people that can currently afford cars.... And as EV's are around the 50k mark they are all unreachable to 90%+ of drivers 🤷🏻♂️ Until the Chinese EV's come all these cars (tesla/audi/merc/volvo/hyundai/kia) are heavily overpriced
@@counterdebate it's not that they're overpriced per se - this car is a serious piece of kit that's sensibly priced. The issue is that they're all high-end cars and there's no real sizeable second-hand market. Chinese EVs most of the world are going to thumb their nose at even if they can deliver them worldwide at acceptable prices anyway (which seems unlikely - if China even could dump underpriced vehicles on the world most countries are going to reach for the obvious tool to safe their car industries - import taxation), that's not the issue or solution here.

IMHO, IONIQ 5 vs TESLA MODEL Y... : Tesla great job, max speed, range especially leveraging its shape and weight. Still prefer, being in Europe, comfort. 99% of my trips are within 200kms one way. With the Hyundai IONIQ 5, I do look forward to ventilated seats, Android Auto, the roomy and comfortable interior, HUD, real blindspot monitoring, 360 camera. Also like reclining seats with foot rest and reclining console for arms rest, all electronic aids especially against collisions, automated parking (top trim), blind spot cams on dashboard when turning, V2L, sun shades integrated in back doors, electric sunroof shade, wide space available inside with good visibility through the back window etc. And the obviously efficient 400V to 800V internal battery inverter for fast charging. Other bugs with Tesla : Model 3 too low on the ground (Model Y is a perfected Model 3); door handles too complicated for kids and scratchy with persons with long finger nails; blue jeans bleed on those white seats.; simplistic navigation system(whereas under ANDROID AUTO, ABRP beta notably has settings for car weight, or TomTom Go 's use of all offline maps etc. ); quality of paint jobs ; mediocre internal lighting; loud alerts not compatible with family driving; max AWD weight capacity 300 Kg. Also 5 year car warranty illimited kms (Max 80 000 for Tesla... Reliability issues?), and 8 year battery warranty (same as Tesla). Comment by Park Shawn translating from Korean to English this video : ua-cam.com/video/rWBAJu_S4lk/v-deo.html Ionic 5 LR and Model Y LR both have similar spec including weight, battery sizes. Details can be found on google. Here are some highlights from the conclusion they brought up at the end of the video. 1. Both car's AVG speed were about 100KM/h (Highway drive) 2. Both car's A/C and other convenience functions(like Highway drive assistance for Ionic 5, Auto Pilot for Model Y and etc.) were always on during the test. 3. 4 drivers drove about 100km per person and checked the remaining battery at designated location. 4. Both car have shown slightly poor battery performance than usual because of the weather condition (rain) 5. By just looking at the specification, Model Y can drive 141km more than Ionic 5. However the actual drive test have shown that the difference were only about 60~70km. This experiment have shown that IONIC 5's driving range is little longer than what Hyundai advertised. 6. They have concluded that both Ionic 5 and Model Y can drive from Seoul to Busan. The distance between those two cities are about 350km. Hope this helps. Furthermore, according to JD POWER, KIA (Hyundai Group) #1 in reliability before Toyota. Tesla bottom. German automakers middle of the road (Mercedes, Audi)...

Tesla killer hard to say it has pros and cons over a Tesla - but it screams something that Tesla don't want people to think about: Tesla don't have any competent car designers. Engineers? Maybe. Car designers? Ooof.
This is one of our issues with Tesla, they are just so dull to look at! You hit the nail on the head. Watch our review of the 2021 Model 3 to hear what we say on styling! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Fair point and hopefully the EV prices start falling and the infrastructure keeps expanding. It's not cheaper to buy an EV, but in a few years, it could be.
The New British Leyland Viking" 6 wheel Drive" is the Tesla killer.. longest range cheapest price tag... will be unveiled at the Glasgow motorshow soon by Boris Johnson 🇬🇧🤩🇬🇧
You cannot turn off things like lane assist permanently because it is needed to get the NCAP rating Funny how your number plate changed during the driving.
@Simon C because I mostly do all the filming solo, it is very difficult to do any tracking or action b-roll. Usefully, most manufacturers are able to provide us with some extra footage to assist us with this, but sometimes it may be a different car. Thats why the plate changed. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Bryan@AutoEV.
Wonder just how what both these fellows veiws R on the Ford New hybrid truck&kia's giant ark of a car hubby just said he's ordering😉Wayne is right-your voice is like honey
Saying that the car is “not uncomfortable “ does not means it’s comfortable !!! The blind spot monitor is is not standard it is the 1500£ on the most expensive speck you should mention that !!! And I do not understand why are you complaining about the speed indicator being obstructed by steering wheel while you have head up display with speed in the front of your nose !!! The AWD 72.6 KW Battery range does not drop onder 260 miles it’s rented 268 !!! The car is 2 plus ton heavy 217 hp is ok but not enough for some car enthusiast for me 305 hp is the way to go. AWD heavy car gets better traction as only RWD let other to be the judge what drive train that should hose!!!
Hello Irek, thank you for taking the time to watch the video, and comment. However, perhaps you didn't watch it all the way through? I mention on more than one occasion how comfortable the seats are. I also say that the blind spot cameras are an option, but I feel they are an option worth having. I have to mention that the speed is obscured by the steering wheel because the HUD might not be fitted to all cars, and the dashboard can't be reconfigured to allow for that. Plus, I still like to look at the instrument binnacle of a car. You are, however, correct at my mistake on the range of the AWD car. It is 268 miles. I misread when looking at the specs and thought it said 258 miles, so my bad. Bang to rights on that one......
@@AutoEV yes you kinda of mansion those things between the lines however the people who watched this review will be disappointed not heaving half of the tech you just showed unless they spec the car as ultimate 72.3 battery pack and the tech pack plus pearl paint Which is more than 47 + k
@@irekfilms I think it is made very clear in the video, even to the point where it is "mentioned" on more than one occasion what specification car we were testing. However, thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
To my eyes this is not a good looking car, I think it will date really badly, the interior dash even more so. Way worse than the BWW iX which is taking all the hits currently whilst this abomination gets praised. Nice detailed review as ever 👍🏻
Well this illustrates that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. I’m 77 so I should prefer the look of the BMW iX. But when I looked at it my mind flashed back to the Edsel, and to some of those 1950’s cars with huge grills and tons of extra chrome. “Abomination” doesn’t describe either car; but the BMW iX is a bit closer to that description.
Just more of a reason with those high tech cars FOR THE GOVTS or big brother to surveil us.... Im gonna find myself a 1983 Camaro Z28 or something to that effect.... Thanks tho...✌️🇺🇲 PS. Wayne Goss sent me!👍😉✌️🇺🇲
I watched and waited for this car for such a long time, but then test drove a Tesla Model 3 which I promptly bought due to how good it felt, now looking at the reviews, I wonder why there are so many buttons and so little tech to it. Gotta be honest though, for the price, the sheer speed and power of the Tesla is great. I don't regret my decision to get the Tesla over this one.
No. Stupidly tiny boot, no frunk, and crappy efficiency anywhere out of town. No rear wiper and poor spec unless you plump for the really expensive option packs. Everyone's (except you!) reviewing the Project 45 one which has all the bells and whistles so not really representative of the car itself. Looks great but it's a bit of a let down
#0:25:17 Maybe if you can't handle technology and a menu system and instead want a individual button for every feature then maybe this is not the car for you.....try a bicycle I hear its one button does the bell! 🤷🏻
I have nothing against menu systems, but for ancillary systems that I don't need quick access to. On something that affects the drive of the car that I may want to engage, or disengage, on the move, its the safety aspect of burying things in sub menus I have an issue with. And that you for your suggestion. I will endeavour to locate the bell on my bike..... Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
@@AutoEV well a troll like me would say there is NO safely issues with sub menus, as they are supposed to be used when you are stationery also there is a voice command. Anyway didn't mean to wind you up but was considering this car and had just bing watched every video on this car and that comment stuck out to me as an odd thing to say! 🤷🏻♂️
I've driven A Saab 93 for the last number of years and they don't have a rear wiper. I thought at the time this will be interesting but it was never an issue as it turns out. I was always able to see enough. I've test drove the Ioniq 5 in the rain and it was honestly no different, even at slow speeds. Also, if reversing in the rain is a concern this car has a good reverse camera.
I’m not really a fan of the styling, but what really turns me off is the lack of a rear wiper, any kind of spare wheel/ tyre repair kit and most of all the recent 1000 km road test on Bjorn Nyland’s channel in which he drove one from Norway down through Sweden and back. He found the battery overheated. I’m in regional Australia. If it can’t handle highway running in Sweden during Autumn there is no way it will cope with Australian Summer temperatures. It will be a fine second car for city dwellers, but that is it.
The car he drove in clearly was faulty. Kris Rifa had the exact same car with the car having overheating problems. There are numerous people with an Ionic 5 not having any problem with overheating what so ever. For me the clear wiper isn’t that big of a deal either. I’ll spray on some rain-x and if that’s not enough it has camera’s on the back and side mirrors to see everything clearly. Björns headlight video was also not correct since the cars light aren’t calibrated correctly. This needs to be fixed by the dealer but wasn’t done.
@@namanverdu I really hope you are right about the review vehicle being faulty as 250 Hyundai allocated to Australia sold out in hours sight unseen. As for the rear wiper, as I said I’m in regional Australia. The problem is not just rain, but dust and road dirt combined with rain/dew/fog. Rain-x (which I haven’t see here, but have overseas) is not much help.
@@GraemeLeRoux I’ll have the car in 1,5 weeks but RDW with 19inch wheels so hope it’s updated and is not gonna overheat. Otherwise it’s a trip back to the dealer :( Rain-X is not gonna help with dust I’m afraid but you can still enable the backwards camera while driving which is really handy. Check the Ionicforum for peoples experiences. There are some people from Australia there too I believe.
You are dead right, all EV's with the current infrastructure and charging times away from home, make long distance travel hopelessly slow and unreliable compared to traditional alternatives. My EV stays distance tethered to my home charger and if I travel further afield I get my diesel out with it's 650 mile range and reliable and numerous infrastructure, expecially in the remote and lowly populated Highlands of Scotland.
Unfortunately we are still a (relatively) small channel as yet, so we have to wait to get our hands on press cars. That being said, what that means is that we get to have them over a longer period of time, rather than just a few hours on a launch, so we deliver (I like to think) a more comprehensive review having been able to live with the car for a few days, doing the things that buyers will actually do. Go to the shops, do the daily commute, get our children in it, etc. That way, our reviews reflect the "real world" use that other reviewers don't get to do on a launch. Thank you, however, for taking the time to watch and comment.
Fast forward a minute or two and it stops. I found the deliberate double vision thing a bit stressful but I'm glad that I watched the whole video. It's comprehensive and informative.
Well, maybe not, especially if the trial of non-Tesla owners being allowed to use the supercharging network is a success. We can't recommend a car purely based on a charging infrastructure, the actual product has to be good to stand on its own two feet. Interestingly we get our hands on the Model Y in a couple of weeks, so let's see how it stands up to the competition before judging.
Hey Mate, thanks for having me. Obviously I love the car. The ride is smooth, very quiet and incredibly spacious.

This is a stunning car, I would buy this over the Tesla ( all Tesla’s look the same to me)
Transmission…. No you are wrong, I can’t buy a car where Forward is Backwards and Back is forwards, it’s illogical and dangerous. Drive a boat and you have forward for forwards and back for backwards just makes sense in any world surely 🤷🏻♂️ (or is that just me) also the Poverty model (below 50K) has 18” wheels the model I drove had 19” and the ride was spot on , loved driving it for the time they let me loose 😊
Enjoyed the video. The Ioniq 5 still makes me think of a modern day evolution of an Austin 1800, Maxi or Maestro.
Ah, @Douglas C. Now you've said that, I can't unsee the Maestro......😄
I'm pretty sure that forward should be forward and backward, well... Backward!
The fact that every car prior can't tell the front from the back, as a new driver, is just absurd. :)

Good review. I’ve got the Project 45 version. Lovely. My only critique of the review is reference to “large car”. Whilst the wheelbase is long, the overhangs are small. So overall the car is shorter than a BMW 3 series or a Mondeo. So not that big. You can turn the lane keep assist & road departure mitigation off via the steering wheel right hand button. Yes have to do each time (legal requirement for safety score)
outside measures, ye, but usable space the ionic bets both hands down.
It's longer and wider than an id4 though, so in ev terms, it's a large car
Great video again Bryan. Love the car but I totally agree about all the bongs and bings. It’s an annoyance that’s affecting almost every new car these days.
I disagree on the drive/reverse selection though. Logically forward to go forwards and backward to go backwards makes sense. The other way around is a hangover from the “old days” when the gear leave was mechanically connected to the gearbox, and pulling the top backwards actually pushed the bottom (below the pivot point) forwards. But when you think about it, it’s totally illogical. You’re just suffering from muscle memory which going forwards, people won’t have an issue with. Jaguar did it with the buttons on the I-Pace too, and got some stuck from people for the same reason. But again, when you think about it, pushing the button nearest the front of the car for forwards and the button nearest the back of the car for reverse is actually quite sensible. There. And you thought you went on about it for too long! 🤣
Anyway. Good video. Nice car. Love the looks (although I do wonder if it’s maybe trying a bit too hard at times). And love the charging speeds!
The gear positions on the stalk are the same as on my BMW i3. I had a 3-series automatic loaner for a while and the illogical "push-forward-to drive backwards" setup irritated me no end. So ... you get used to it.

Just ordered a 73 kw/h in Cyber gray , Ultimate version in Canada ; scheduled in July 2022 ........... 8 months to wait ...........
8 months?!? I thought having to wait 3 was bad

but it is better than the Nissan Ariya ( that I have also a pre order that I will cancel ) that was delayed at the end of 2022 / beginning of 2023 .
This is a wonderful, practical, thorough and intelligent review. Enjoyed your chat with the other fellow as well and his perspectives. Yes, this is a vehicle worth looking at if you are in the market for this type of EV in this price range. There's the sister EV as well from Kia. Great job with this review.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Reviewers tend to complain about lack of buttons and having to delve into screen menus, but thr car has voice control! "Seat warmer on"
Hi Brian, I popped over here from Wayne’s channel. What a great car! I’m still laughing over here because we both said it looks like a piece of origami at precisely the same time 🤣.

Enjoyable review as ever; as brilliant as it is we're not going to try this one as its just too big - so looking forward to your review of the Ioniq 3 & 4.
too big? where are you from haha in Canada this is barely a SUV more of a crossover
@@bananaNnutella - yes, I’ve spent time in Canada, and they’re fine there - but in town in Europe they are a pain to park and on our country roads too wide.
The fog lights are in the light strip either side of the IONIQ 5 logo along with the reversing lights, they are not at the bottom, they are red reflective strips at the bottom
I haven't looked at all 862 other comments to see if anyone has asked this but please could you tell me what the colour of that car you drove is called? I love it! I'd call it "smoky blue" but no doubt Hyundai have a fancy name. I really like the car - I test drove one at Fully Charged Live! If I were to come in to some money, I'd be at the Hyundai dealership tomorrow. As things are, I just try to win competitions or the lottery.

@@fsr170409 Thank you.
Hi Wayne. Not one for vehicle review channels, but I came by to watch cuz Wayne said to do so. Personally, I'm not a fan of new car concepts ( I'm a die-hard American Muscle Car fan, sorry, not sorry) but I do admire all they technology they can cram into these new cars. I feel like I'm being dragged, kicking & screaming, into the 21st century. Progress, not perfection, am I right? But I'm glad I watched. Thank you for explaining some of the complicated features that I still feel are uncomfortable. I prefer to feel like I AM driving the car, not a passenger in a car virtually driving it's self. I want to "feel" the mechanics, if that makes sense. Newer cars are so very insulated that I can't hear, smell, feel the car. Feels unsafe to me. Guess I'll be sticking with my pre-2000 models, and I'm okay with that.
He is one of the few to point out the quality of the plastics on some of the buttons, inside door handles, and regen braking levers. They feel almost hollow. For the price, I'd expect higher quality there.
I test drove one a couple of weeks ago. It’s a gorgeous design with a fantastic interior and smooth quiet ride. I would have been very happy to order one (as a company car) apart from one thing. The boot, although it says 527 litres is really shallow in real life i.e. it’s flat and wide but not very tall. As we do a lot of camping and have a big dog we need something with a squarer back. It also doesn’t have roof rails (although you can get crossbars) or a factory option for a towbar, so I’ve ordered a Q4 E-Tron - also a great car. On my company scheme they have the same monthly cost in Ultimate spec (Ionic) compared to S-Line (Q4) - surprisingly a Skoda Enyaq is considerably more expensive to lease. If I was buying privately it would be a different story but for my needs I just can’t justify the compromise on practicality. Shame as if it was just for me I would have the Ionic in a heartbeat.
Had to come and check this channel out, my hubby is thinking about a new car, it's intresteing to hear your thoughts about this one..Wayne steered me over at the right time 😊

Yes, I just watched an entire Automobile review waiting for the arrival of your guest, our Mr. Wayne Goss! 😂 I actually found it quite enjoyable, you are very detailed and quite funny. And a British accent is never bad for these ears! Other things while your car is charging! 😂 Speaking of the other car, you never know when you might need a sandwich? Just saying? 😂 I currently drive a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport, with a working cassette player, so do you think it is time for an upgrade? 🤔 😂 It is actually a very special car, my now deceased Father purchased it for $5000 years ago, it currently has 100,000 miles and every single time I fill up the tank I have some random dude approach me and make me an offer on my car!! Her name is Jeepsie Rose, she doesn’t like the summer, but during the winter she is super fun! She has that old time Jeep “Lip” at the bottom that you need to step over to get in and out of the car and I never warn people about it, and yes, I have had people fall into and out of my car, which I find funny in a dark kind of way? 😂 thank you for your wonderful video, I have never driven a car with the driver on that side of the car or the car on that side of the road but I am hoping someday…. 💗
Great to have the pleasure of your company Terri! We love a Jeep (my wife had one, essential vehicle for suburban Surrey!) so great to hear about Jeepsie Rose. Sounds like she might be a keeper?

As a tall Canadian & wee Welshman in Austria, we’re always VERY conscious of the top of the window & the undercarriage height
If I have to hunch to get a full window from my seating, or if the undercarriage scrapes on uneven surfaces?
It is a no-go. If my Welshman has to hop a bit to saddle up to his car? He’s not happy. we often have to default to respecting road condition potential. we rented a sleek fantasy vehicle in Ibiza, several years ago,money to discover that our host’s home was on an under-development mountainside road.

Would you choose the Ioniq5 premium rwd (standard car 77) or an EV6 77kwh Air??? So difficult to choose between them 😬
I'd go Kia as I just prefer the EV6 over the Ioniq 5, but its a close call.
The £40k to 50k market is well served by the new cars coming on stream. But we are all waiting for someone to bring a £30k to £40k car\SUV\ crossover with decent range and some of the toys without breaking the bank.
Kia e-Niro?
how about 20k? please.
@@metoo3773 Skoda CitiGo eiV? Seat Mii? Preowned MG ZS EV is you need more space? Used Nissan Leaf? Renault Zoe? MG5 Estate?
Yes E Niro is option but showing its age design wise. Doesn't quite make we want to get in it.
We’re probably at least 5 years before average joe can go out and buy a nice looking, good quality ev within the reasonable price range under 30k.
A very interesting and thoughtful review of a vehicle that has rightly won many plaudits from commentators. I like it as much because it is so clearly different from its perceived competitors as well as being an obviously well conceived and designed EV. Your review of this car along with those you have produced about its rivals have correctly focused on how families might get on with it both in urban and non urban environments. However I think it might also be instructive if you can offer comments on how two adults might react to such vehicles and their attributes and deficiencies. For me the Ioniq 5 will be an excellent car for two people moving around the country and that is an important factor in my decision to order one.
Good review cheers 👍
No rear wiper? Yes, that’s a pain but…stick the rear window De mister on and that will ( not quickly) clear it 😁
I really like this car. Plan to buy one as soon as it is available. Am "on the list" to be among the first here in the states.
Now, having said that, if you think it's a "Tesla Killer", I have a few sad realities for you.
He Lost
The Earth is not flat
Hyundai can't/won't dedicate enough resources to "Kill" Tesla, with this car or any other.
Sorry.
But I do look forward to owning one, ASAP. (And not soon enough.)
The 2 motor 4 wheel drive would be the best if one motor could be totally disconnected and reconnected from the drive chain as and when required.
I saw a review of an EV a few days ago and that car had that facility. Can't remember what the make was. Any one know of any that have this?
Best EV videos by a country mile. Great looking car The South Korean manufactures just keep raising the bar.
AutoEV videos are so good 🏆
No wiper on the back windshield is a show stopper for me. Backup cams are great, but it can be hard to see what's behind that massive C pillar, even with a cam back there. I live in Edmonton and most of our winter involves sloppy roads wet with snow and sand, and I'm constantly using my rear wiper / washer to keep the back window clear. I can't imagine how often I'd have to get out to hand wash the rear windshield if I owned this car.
Another good review, looking forward to your review of the EV6 which is my personal favourite of the 2
Great review.Only a proper Scotsman would say."I will only say" 15 times in as many minutes ❤️❤️🏴🏴
Thanks Keith. You should watch our new video where I say "What I will say" about 134 times in 10 minutes.....🙄🙄🙄
We have just bought the long range, rear wheel drive version in New Zealand. We like it so far, but the manual would compete with the Encyclopaedia Brittanica; I've yet to work out how to get that view of the car heading forwards back on the main screen (let me know if you know). It's already been back for a vehicle software update, plus an entertainment system update.
So no OTA? Did the update change anything important?

Yes, good car with a comprehensive warranty. I’d recommend it if you enjoy how it drives.
@@AutoEV thanks for advise was considering an iPace both same price range for 22 plate
Dear Hyundai, whoever made the decision not to at least give us in the UK the option of a glass roof needs sacking, no rear wiper, ridiculous, so close to being a perfect ev.
If the price is right ill have me one !
I really love this car, I really want to buy it... but some things bug me... I have compared it with the tesla m3 and the ride on the i5 is soo much better. What I would like is ota updates which the i5 does not have yet no? Another thing, appearantly from other owners , the temperature of the battery, for it to be able to charge very fast it has to come up to around 20-25 degrees c but during the winter it isn't able to come up to temperature even though that you have ridden with for a while. Also I believe that it has a heat pump but if it can not bring up the temperature it really doesn't do a great job... ?!
This makes me a bit worried cause the 800v system is one of my biggest arguement besides the fantastic ride quality and the spaceous room inside the car.
Just noticed how weird it is that large vehicles have a huge gap between the front seats, I guess the only sensible fix is to put more storage there. Made for couples who hate each other?
Another great presentation, thank you.
Such a great piece of design
Actually, it has always irritated me that an auto box lever moves backwards to go forwards. This stalk makes more sense to me. Twist it the way you want to go.
When will deliveries begin in the US???
I'm kinda torn about the design. Especially when compared to the Ariya. When I fist saw the Ariya I went eeew and when I first saw the Ioniq 5 I went WOOOOW. But the longer I look at those two, my perspective changes. Where the Ioniq 5 is pretty much all flashy effects and plays the part of a futuristic car, it actually looks like we all imagined futuristic cars in the 80s. And I doubt this sort of "effect" design will stand the test of time. Meanwhile, the Ariyas looks grew on me more and more. It's way more subtle, typical contemporary japanese design may seem awkward at first, but - as all great designs do - has a real asthetic to it. Something the Ioniq 5 completely misses out on. It's the new, white Adidas sneaker you wear to a party, only to get rid off after half a year since it's no longer new again, whereas the Ariya - so it seems to me - is more of the italian shoe variety. Those ones that you'll still have 10 years from now. Of yourse, this is only my personal view. Also, looks are only looks. So, your mileage may vary. But I can't help to be slightly underwhelmed by the Ioniq5, especially since they started popping up on the streets recently.
Ioniq 5's design que is from Hyundai's first model Pony, which was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. It's a timeless classic design IMO. Giorgetto Giugiaro is a legendary Italian car designer and you comparing Ariya to a italian shoe variety sounds funny. Then again, you should purchase whatever is that you'd require from EV daily perspective, also to your liking.
I love the reasoning and thought process not sure I agree with the conclusion,.
@@420hansol Giugiaro designed a DeLorean ripoff then ;)
@@rp9674 You don't have to :) Also, as I said, I felt the same way at first as well.
Here because of dear Wayne
You didn't go into detail of 2 of the most valued things on the car (1 is an option) - The 800 volt architecture that enables on a suitable charger some of the fastest charging rates of any EV (especially at the price range) and the option V2L (Vehicle to Load) you did mention the 3 pin plug between the rear seats, but not the adapter that plugs into the charge port and gives you an external 3 pin plug that outputs 3.7kWh, for running more or less anything you want and you could also use your granny charger from this port to charge (albeit slowly) another EV.
@Philip Reece. I do mention the 800V architecture and the V2L option and even show the adaptor. It's in the chapter on Usability.

why does everything have to be a Tesla killer? These EVs are ICE killers.
Ev's are not killing anything until the price is affordable for those people that can currently afford cars.... And as EV's are around the 50k mark they are all unreachable to 90%+ of drivers 🤷🏻♂️
Until the Chinese EV's come all these cars (tesla/audi/merc/volvo/hyundai/kia) are heavily overpriced
@@counterdebate it's not that they're overpriced per se - this car is a serious piece of kit that's sensibly priced. The issue is that they're all high-end cars and there's no real sizeable second-hand market. Chinese EVs most of the world are going to thumb their nose at even if they can deliver them worldwide at acceptable prices anyway (which seems unlikely - if China even could dump underpriced vehicles on the world most countries are going to reach for the obvious tool to safe their car industries - import taxation), that's not the issue or solution here.

IMHO, IONIQ 5 vs TESLA MODEL Y... :
Tesla great job, max speed, range especially leveraging its shape and weight. Still prefer, being in Europe, comfort. 99% of my trips are within 200kms one way. With the Hyundai IONIQ 5, I do look forward to ventilated seats, Android Auto, the roomy and comfortable interior, HUD, real blindspot monitoring, 360 camera. Also like reclining seats with foot rest and reclining console for arms rest, all electronic aids especially against collisions, automated parking (top trim), blind spot cams on dashboard when turning, V2L, sun shades integrated in back doors, electric sunroof shade, wide space available inside with good visibility through the back window etc.
And the obviously efficient 400V to 800V internal battery inverter for fast charging.
Other bugs with Tesla : Model 3 too low on the ground (Model Y is a perfected Model 3); door handles too complicated for kids and scratchy with persons with long finger nails; blue jeans bleed on those white seats.; simplistic navigation system(whereas under ANDROID AUTO, ABRP beta notably has settings for car weight, or TomTom Go 's use of all offline maps etc. ); quality of paint jobs ; mediocre internal lighting; loud alerts not compatible with family driving; max AWD weight capacity 300 Kg.
Also 5 year car warranty illimited kms (Max 80 000 for Tesla... Reliability issues?), and 8 year battery warranty (same as Tesla).
Comment by Park Shawn translating from Korean to English this video :
ua-cam.com/video/rWBAJu_S4lk/v-deo.html
Ionic 5 LR and Model Y LR both have similar spec including weight, battery sizes. Details can be found on google. Here are some highlights from the conclusion they brought up at the end of the video. 1. Both car's AVG speed were about 100KM/h (Highway drive) 2. Both car's A/C and other convenience functions(like Highway drive assistance for Ionic 5, Auto Pilot for Model Y and etc.) were always on during the test. 3. 4 drivers drove about 100km per person and checked the remaining battery at designated location. 4. Both car have shown slightly poor battery performance than usual because of the weather condition (rain) 5. By just looking at the specification, Model Y can drive 141km more than Ionic 5. However the actual drive test have shown that the difference were only about 60~70km. This experiment have shown that IONIC 5's driving range is little longer than what Hyundai advertised. 6. They have concluded that both Ionic 5 and Model Y can drive from Seoul to Busan. The distance between those two cities are about 350km. Hope this helps.
Furthermore, according to JD POWER, KIA (Hyundai Group) #1 in reliability before Toyota. Tesla bottom. German automakers middle of the road (Mercedes, Audi)...

No wiper drama…
Saying that the car is “not uncomfortable “ does not means it’s comfortable !!!
The blind spot monitor is is not standard it is the 1500£ on the most expensive speck you should mention that !!!
And I do not understand why are you complaining about the speed indicator being obstructed by steering wheel while you have head up display with speed in the front of your nose !!!
The AWD 72.6 KW Battery range does not drop onder 260 miles it’s rented 268 !!!
The car is 2 plus ton heavy 217 hp is ok but not enough for some car enthusiast for me 305 hp is the way to go. AWD heavy car gets better traction as only RWD let other to be the judge what drive train that should hose!!!
Hello Irek, thank you for taking the time to watch the video, and comment. However, perhaps you didn't watch it all the way through? I mention on more than one occasion how comfortable the seats are. I also say that the blind spot cameras are an option, but I feel they are an option worth having. I have to mention that the speed is obscured by the steering wheel because the HUD might not be fitted to all cars, and the dashboard can't be reconfigured to allow for that. Plus, I still like to look at the instrument binnacle of a car. You are, however, correct at my mistake on the range of the AWD car. It is 268 miles. I misread when looking at the specs and thought it said 258 miles, so my bad. Bang to rights on that one......

Hyundai......rhymes with sunday!!!!
Thats right!! Like what's he saying???🤣 HUN-DAY... Simple
To my eyes this is not a good looking car, I think it will date really badly, the interior dash even more so. Way worse than the BWW iX which is taking all the hits currently whilst this abomination gets praised.
Nice detailed review as ever 👍🏻
Well this illustrates that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. I’m 77 so I should prefer the look of the BMW iX. But when I looked at it my mind flashed back to the Edsel, and to some of those 1950’s cars with huge grills and tons of extra chrome. “Abomination” doesn’t describe either car; but the BMW iX is a bit closer to that description.
I'm still convinced that some pressed the enlarge 120% button on the copier....!!
Just more of a reason with those high tech cars FOR THE GOVTS or big brother to surveil us.... Im gonna find myself a 1983 Camaro Z28 or something to that effect.... Thanks tho...✌️🇺🇲 PS. Wayne Goss sent me!👍😉✌️🇺🇲
I watched and waited for this car for such a long time, but then test drove a Tesla Model 3 which I promptly bought due to how good it felt, now looking at the reviews, I wonder why there are so many buttons and so little tech to it. Gotta be honest though, for the price, the sheer speed and power of the Tesla is great. I don't regret my decision to get the Tesla over this one.
No. Stupidly tiny boot, no frunk, and crappy efficiency anywhere out of town. No rear wiper and poor spec unless you plump for the really expensive option packs. Everyone's (except you!) reviewing the Project 45 one which has all the bells and whistles so not really representative of the car itself. Looks great but it's a bit of a let down
The Jaguar i-PACE has the same plastic buttons at double the price when maxed out.
Nice EV, but isn't 48K pound is more expensive than a luxury cars like Benz or BMW? That's crazy for a Hyundai.
True, but if they are to shift their image, they need a good car to start with, and this Ioniq 5 is worthy of the money.
@@AutoEV But don't forget, Hyundai already has a luxury brand Genesis.

I've driven A Saab 93 for the last number of years and they don't have a rear wiper. I thought at the time this will be interesting but it was never an issue as it turns out. I was always able to see enough. I've test drove the Ioniq 5 in the rain and it was honestly no different, even at slow speeds. Also, if reversing in the rain is a concern this car has a good reverse camera.

I’m not really a fan of the styling, but what really turns me off is the lack of a rear wiper, any kind of spare wheel/ tyre repair kit and most of all the recent 1000 km road test on Bjorn Nyland’s channel in which he drove one from Norway down through Sweden and back. He found the battery overheated. I’m in regional Australia. If it can’t handle highway running in Sweden during Autumn there is no way it will cope with Australian Summer temperatures. It will be a fine second car for city dwellers, but that is it.
The car he drove in clearly was faulty. Kris Rifa had the exact same car with the car having overheating problems.
There are numerous people with an Ionic 5 not having any problem with overheating what so ever.
For me the clear wiper isn’t that big of a deal either. I’ll spray on some rain-x and if that’s not enough it has camera’s on the back and side mirrors to see everything clearly.
Björns headlight video was also not correct since the cars light aren’t calibrated correctly. This needs to be fixed by the dealer but wasn’t done.
@@namanverdu I really hope you are right about the review vehicle being faulty as 250 Hyundai allocated to Australia sold out in hours sight unseen. As for the rear wiper, as I said I’m in regional Australia. The problem is not just rain, but dust and road dirt combined with rain/dew/fog. Rain-x (which I haven’t see here, but have overseas) is not much help.
@@GraemeLeRoux I’ll have the car in 1,5 weeks but RDW with 19inch wheels so hope it’s updated and is not gonna overheat. Otherwise it’s a trip back to the dealer :(
Rain-X is not gonna help with dust I’m afraid but you can still enable the backwards camera while driving which is really handy.
Check the Ionicforum for peoples experiences. There are some people from Australia there too I believe.
You are dead right, all EV's with the current infrastructure and charging times away from home, make long distance travel hopelessly slow and unreliable compared to traditional alternatives. My EV stays distance tethered to my home charger and if I travel further afield I get my diesel out with it's 650 mile range and reliable and numerous infrastructure, expecially in the remote and lowly populated Highlands of Scotland.
Reminds me of a Pontiac Vibe or something to that effect... Its hideous...
You are kind of late. You are repeating what everyone else said months ago.
Unfortunately we are still a (relatively) small channel as yet, so we have to wait to get our hands on press cars. That being said, what that means is that we get to have them over a longer period of time, rather than just a few hours on a launch, so we deliver (I like to think) a more comprehensive review having been able to live with the car for a few days, doing the things that buyers will actually do. Go to the shops, do the daily commute, get our children in it, etc. That way, our reviews reflect the "real world" use that other reviewers don't get to do on a launch. Thank you, however, for taking the time to watch and comment.
Stupid music stopped me watching further
Fast forward a minute or two and it stops. I found the deliberate double vision thing a bit stressful but I'm glad that I watched the whole video. It's comprehensive and informative.
But it's huge and heavy.🤔
but also brilliant….
I dont want to support China so Tesla is out.
Shh i know where the lane is... lol. The car im afraid disagrees😅😅
Hyundai supercharging network ? no, best buy a Tesla....
Well, maybe not, especially if the trial of non-Tesla owners being allowed to use the supercharging network is a success. We can't recommend a car purely based on a charging infrastructure, the actual product has to be good to stand on its own two feet. Interestingly we get our hands on the Model Y in a couple of weeks, so let's see how it stands up to the competition before judging.
