    Minor mistake on the Ioniq 5 pricing, our listed price did not have the Ultimate package added for another $6k for a total of $60,999. Go to tsp.TrueCar.com for discounted price offers with in stock pricing 😊

    IONIQ 5 owner here. I have the dual motor SEL in the US. If you want the range of the single motor, you can drive in "ECO" mode which disables the front motor except for traction control needs, and you get the same range as the single motor. But then you still have the dual motors so you can rip it in sport mode or have the excellent "Snow" mode when you want/need them. Also I'm 6'4" and I don't have any problems with my knee hitting the gear selector stock. But I sit with the seat slightly farther back and slightly more upright than Jacub does, so that's probably the reason. Definitely the most fun car I've ever owned.

    I love the design of both the Ioniq 5 and 6, but have to say kudos to Hyundai for not over-engineering the front-end design of the Ioniq 6. I've been getting tired of them designing their front ends to have massive fog lights and itty-bitty headlights, it makes the cars look disproportional imo. Plus the amber LED DRLs look fantastic and evoke memories of the Kia Telluride of years past haha. The 6 looks like a normal design you'd see from about 10 years ago, but given a futuristic look with the pixel LEDs. The back-end however is another story lol🤣

    18:12 regular EV commuter here, I can pitch in some data here. The charger you are at is a 400V level charger meaning both the cars are using their rear motor’s inverter to charge by using it as a sort of dynamo/regen. The power is limited by the motor unit’s capability which is about 60-80kW peak, this would be the same speed you’d see if you get to charge these on Tesla superchargers with magic dock.
    You are on power shared chargers if you can get some more details on the dispenser label, cable spec (printed on the cable) and power unit data I can ahead more light on load sharing

    the Ioniq 5 N is an even tastier 5,
    but with rumors of a 5 XRT version in the works, I'm excited to decide which I want more between the 5N & the 5XRT!

    IONIQ 5 is still an overall better vehicle. Hyundai put the steering wheel buttons on backwards on the IONIQ 6 from every Hyundai ever made, which tend to throw off current Hyundai owners already used to the locations. Plus, no parallel parking, no HUD, less cargo space, no relaxation seat, the window controls are on the console but mirror controls on the dash?? The only advantages that I can see on the IONIQ 6 are the dual color ambient lights and the 20" wheels coming on multiple trims. Stick with the IONIQ 5, it's a better value.

    Hey guys, something I'd love to see you add to your list of things to check is whether or not a EV's brake lights turn on when the regen braking is high, even if the brake pedal isn't being touched. I've seen some EVs let off the "gas" and just slow right down as if they're braking, but there's no brake light at all, and it feels like that could be dangerous. I'd love to see EV makers include a feature to turn the brake light on when the deceleration is high, just to warn other drivers that you're slowing down a good deal. I figure if you guys start looking for that and mentioning it, the reps at the auto makers will see it and maybe some changes will come along eventually.

      I own a 5. Have for over a year. Tbh the 5 gives you everything you need in terms of speed and handling but if you need the additional range I'd choose the 6.
      I have a home charger and networks around me are pretty good. Hope that helps you out. I highly suggest getting upgrades to the floor mat if you have a lower trim level. Maybe don't choose the light interior option of either of you're anything less than supremely tidy. They're a bit tough to keep clean.

    I have 32k miles on my '23 Ioniq 6 AWD SE with 18 inch wheels/tires. I have averaged 4.8 Miles per kwh, which means 370 miles range out of a 77 kw battery. This over two summmers and one winter in zone 5 NW NJ. I drive carefully and usually in Eco mode (rear wheen drive) and use the great seat heaters rather than cabin heat when I can. This is significantly better than the Ioniq 5 (and the Ioniq 6 with 20 inch wheels/tires). I see no reason not to get the AWD-so long as you drive it in Eco mode, you will equal the range and efficiency of the RWD model, but you have AWD ready when you need it. The car heas been great. Very roomy inside for people of average height.

    I own an i5 and have test driven an i6 for three days. You guys are undervaluing the driving difference. I have to say the i6 has much better suspension and handles much better at speed. At low speed no real difference, but going 100km/h or faster, the difference is very noticeable. Also the lane assist that forces the car back into the lane and cannot be disabled permanently is far less aggressive in the i6 and thus much more pleasant. I hope future versions of the i5 will get the same!

    Hyundai designers have really hit their stride - however - they need to work on lower body cladding designs on most of their cars. The 6 here needs a different rear bumper and the 5 needs to have all it's body cladding toned down. They went texture and pattern crazy. The 5 would be a homerun with simple cladding and fewer vents. Excellent review, as always.
