Finally, a fast EV with a properly fun side. I like it. Also: our charging test result was a fairly average 29 min 27 sec to recharge from 50-350km of real-world highway range. While charging peaked at a great 260kW, because the Ioniq 5 N isn't very efficient, you have to charge it all the way to 88% SOC to get 350km out of it on the highway, and charging pace drops off drastically after 80% for this car (and most EVs). -Tom

Been driving my Ioniq 5N for about a month now, and i have to say. EVERYTHING in this review is 100% spot on! I traded my DCT i30N (which i loved btw) And trust me when i say, the "fake" gearbox in the 5N is indistinguishable and works brilliantly for sports applications IE, what we use a gear box for when driving hard. I would also argue that the 5N is FAR more livable then the i30N as its ride is softer, and clearance is MUCH more forgiving (i couldn't get my i30n down my driveway, but the 5N has no problems) Also been getting stacks of looks and people asking me just what this car even is, which is harder to explain then you might think 😅 If anyone has any questions, feel free to reply and i'll try and help you out!

That’s a spaceship. Great supercar level EV

I think that engine audio feedback actually assists with driver control of the vehicle, as it gives you non visual queues as to the power and speed being applied to the vehicle. Thus, I actually think that feature has a very practical benefit. I suggest it improves driver situational awareness of the performance state of the vehicle. It essentially functions as a driver feedback reinforcement mechanism, which I think could help improve driver confidence and control. Basically providing a better feel and driving experience for the vehicle.

This Channel has been a real blessing to Hyundai I'm sure. The attention their electric vehicles have been getting from you since 2022 is good. Since you are however independent, it can only mean their cars are that good or they really matter that much to Australian market.

Hello from eastern Canada! I have a 2005 Honda Civic Si (in palliative care) and this is the first new car in some time that really has caught my attention. Thank you for the informative review... cheers!

Terrific review! Great camera work and cinematography.

14:57 i30N! Really enjoyed this review. Can tell you, Tom, that you pronounce Hyundai very accurately!

Excellent review, Tom. Thanks.

Sounds like Hyundai has this EV performance car sorted. Nice to see.

The laugh at 18:45 is so good

Great review.

No pollution super car of hyundai

I actually don’t hate manual seats after owning one with electric seats because there is no way to quickly move them if you drop something underneath.

Impressive vehicle no doubt, I like how they're trying to appeal to petrol heads. However, it may be ahead of it's time. At this price I'm not sure who the buyer is, a petrol head would no doubt chose ICE right now and traditional EV buyers would be better off with the regular. It gives hope for the day we are forced to be EV but I'm curious to see how they will sell right now. Another fantastic review Tom

Nice review! Could you elaborate more on the "considerably nicer and order of magnitude more sophisticated in terms of hardware and tech" between EV6 GT and Ioniq 5 N? I see they have mostly the same hardware inside and nothing else but some software (tech) gimmicks (software is updated, transmission lag simulation, "manual" transmission simulation, additional engine sounds, little larger brakes, aircon on the same seats...)". To me, the 10k difference for additional sounds and bottom cooling seems quite expensive. Especially when you can get discounts from the unused EV6 GTs So where does the order of magnitude come from? Or am I missing something? Also, the stated "rear motor from Genesis GV60" is the same rear motor as in EV6. (And the same motor as in the front of EV6 GT). I don´t understand why they are trying so hard to make it to be different even tho it has the same hardware. Marketing at it´s finest, I assume. And about the range, you can increase it quite drastically by changing to 19-20" wheels and smaller roll-resistance tires to get the extra 50-70 Kilometers. Pirelli Zeros are quite sticky and eat range.

5:00 Maybe because people complain it looks "stuck on" and cheap. They should just make it flush and not shiny chrome.

A lot of car.......a lot of coin!

I saw the price then exited stage right 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

Chipmunk mode activated

i only waited for the jet noise

Wow! And for only $120k is the bargain of the century! And only a couple of units coming to the country, we will be paying $150k for second hand ones in no time!

Finally, I can outrun the cops on my to fetch groceries! And with throaty porsche 911 engine sounds lol. It's ok. As far as the interiors of all these cars being described as adequate, my opinion is that all these new interiors SUCK compared to older cars of the 80s/ 90s. And EVs were an opportunity to go back to nice, fun, comfortable car interiors! I thought the stock Ioniq5 had a good interior, but I'm really not crazy about that N interior. I couldn't see myself spending $$$$ on this car even if I did have the money.

Hyundai Kia are light years ahead of BMW BENZ and AUDI

It's sell like HOT CAKES in Australia. The perfect car, we all want a 500kw EV, for our daily and go down the shops!!!!!!

Waaaaay too much, prices in Australia are just silly now

While the video was great, I'd have liked it to address some of the issues with the previous Ioniq 5 (software updates, ICCU, charging etc.) if I'm going to fork out $120k for it!

this thing makes the porsche macan turbo ev look like poor value wow

Same price as new RS3?. Will wait for Ev’s that can deliver 600km driving range minimum.

A shame that manufacturers are going this way, and not offering affordable EVs first instead of marketing a bunch of performance versions, and when i say affordable, i mean sub 40k aud. Not minimum 50-60k...

Just wait and see the depreciation make this EV tank. The Jaguar EV has halved in price over the last few years. I'll be getting a Type R if I want a car like this.

1st lol

In a time where some are struggling to put enough food on the table for their families this really turns my gut. What a f*cked up society Australia is.

with the price tag, NMC battery only good for 80% charge, manual seats and 2.2 tons.... thanks but no thanks.....

As good as this car is in many ways i would rather save 50 , 60 k and buy an MG4 X POWER. Yes, this may seem a bit silly to some but that is just me

Sorry, but I just don't see the hype around this. EVs should be exciting, and this one falls flat.

There are so many cars (ICE and EV) that are better value for money than this and more efficient. Gimmicky, and will end up going the way of the Kia Stinger

Just another EV crapbox… 👎👎👎👎👎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I am sorry but for a car company that has so many recalls and very shitty quality like engines burn, condensation in lights, faulity clutches, huge motor oil consumpion and they dare to introduce new 110k EV car! I own Hyundai i20 and I am happy to sell it for VW group car. This car gives me so much headaches it is a disaster.

Stop reviewing EVs

Don’t buy this car at this price as it tries to rip Australian consumers off as it is sold nearly half the price in North America market. Also it would be worth nothing if you have an accident as the replacement costs may be more than a new car.

Same price as new RS3?. Will wait for Ev’s that can deliver 600km driving range minimum.
