The Ioniq 5 N doesn't solve a single problem. In fact, on a purely practical level, it's actually kind of pointless. Despite that, turning on the engine simulator and chopping through the 'gears' on twisty corners will somehow feed every inch of your soul.
It's trickery.
It's witchcraft.
It's all fake.
But it doesn't matter.
This electric car has has all the torque & driver feedback of a combustion-powered supercar, but without the mountain of downsides, making it a pure, guilt-free joy to drive. The popping from the "exhaust", the torque curve, the sound of the "engine" straining in a high gear - you name it, it's got it. Hyundai took on a big risk making this machine, but that risk has paid off.
Gav has never been a fan of electric vehicle noise generators, but... he fell in love it, as you can see by pressing Play above!

I wont ever be able to afford a brand new 5N but by god will I have a used one in the future ! This is the best EV ever - the passion of petrol in the future of electric - Well Done Hyundai x Lets hope they dont suffer from the whole ICCU issues of the standard Ioniq 5

Good luck even getting a second-hand one, with sales numbers which they can not even sell the standard model. April 2024, a total of 1 Ioniq 5 was sold in all of NZ!

I love everything about your reviews. I watch them even if I’m not interested in the car. You make me laugh. Please don’t listen to criticism. As for who would buy one of these… I’m a pushing-60 year old woman, I own an i30N and I would trade it for one of these in a heartbeat, if I could afford one.

I've not watched any other reviews of the N and probably won't need to as your review is pretty comprehensive. But you've gotta beg those Hyundai reps to let you have a spin on a track day. This car is definitely one for the GenX 80s boy racers 😁🏎️

Why oh why did I NOT win lotto? It's a shame it isn't able to switch to 2wd to increase efficiency. 21kwh per 100km seems pretty poor. Surely it does better in eco mode for around town use ?

Great review., as always! The price is the killer despite how good the package is but that seems to be the Hyundai and Kia way these days.It’s a heap of fun and a laugh a minute though, having test driven one! I’d probably prefer a new Model 3 Performance and pocket the change over the gimmicks of this.

I think Hyundai has built the first _"Petrol derived"_ EV in this mental Ioniq 5 N. And if you've ever seen one of these beasties in red, doesn't it bring back memories from the 1980's of the drop dead gorgeous 4WD beast called the *Lancia Delta Integrale?* It's a car to take the kids to school, takes the in-laws for a day out or the missus to the supermarket. But when the kids are in school, the in-laws back at their home and the shopping's been put away, with the press of a button, you've unleashed Hephaestus, Vulcan and Vesta at the same time and it's time to play 8-))...

@dfd6787
@dfd6787 Ай бұрын
Hard to get behind this analogy, since they attempt to bring over all the things that make you feel engaged with car. I would not be interested in "alternative" bacon, since the replication is pointless, and I would rather prefer different food unless it is actual printed bacon. With the car it feels a bit different. Yes it is a gimmic, and you would not use something like that on your day to day, but on track it gives you additional dimension. Something that EVs lack. EV is precise and sterile on its delivery, but this is another aspect of humans where we rather prefer imperfection. Producers use imperfection while producing music btw, to make songs feel more natural. They intentionally put some stuff off beat. While you don't register anything artificial, but that is the whole point. Same with this car. It is perfectly imperfect when you want it.
