We, my wife and I, just bought the Preferred LR RWD version. Although we had it for only three weeks now, we love it. We test drove both the Ioniq 5 and 6 before buying and we were surprised that we both enjoyed driving the Ioniq 6 while not really the Ioniq 5. We are both 60 years old. We now leave Dodge in the winter. So, no need for us to get the AWD version, and carry around the extra weight with less range. We don’t need to do wheelies anymore. So, that version has plenty enough power. As for the $6,000-plus-tax Ultimate package, we just couldn’t justify it to ourselves. Sure, there are some extra bells and whistles, but we don’t need the sun roof anymore and the standard sound system on the RWD model is good enough. Sooo, the RWD model of the car is a great value for money with a $12,000 remittance from both the Feds and our own provincial government. A great buy, in our book.

Agreed 👍. It's a great all around car. I'm very impressed with how far it can travel on one charge.

hey guys. nice work. suggesting a few other elements: - ground clearance - maybe adding an empty baggage to provide a practical demonstration if it can fit or not - stating your height also can help to illustrate actually if a “tall” person can fit comfortably. - a summary on screen of main technical features of the automobile (usable battery size, HP and torque figures, dimension, trim model ) - the shots by the lake wouldn’t hurt to show the turning lights blinking :) - those shots from underneath the car AMAZING thanks for sharing. - the difference between the i5 and i6 didn’t know there were two loops of liquid and down to one in the i6. cool. - 1700 watts in V2L. cool. is there any other plug inside the car? maybe in another trim? - passthrough console ? - can you summon it in tight parking spaces ?

These are amazing suggestions. I'll be writing these down and putting them into a format. It's funny. This is the first video that I haven't stated: "I'm 6'1" tall". We usually skip a lot of these in the essence of time, but this video ended up on the long side. Your suggestions will make for a smoother and more articulate review. Thanks again!

@@livewirereview you actually did mention being 6'1" tall @05:48, but the recommended stuff is still good work on :)

You guys need more views. Much more technical review than the buzzword vloggers.

Thank you! Anything you want to see added? We have a Volvo XC40 Recharge Twin this week for review.

If this was a hatchback it`d be my next car. I`d gladly trade rear legroom for bigger and usable trunk.

You're right on the $$$! This car was significantly lower priced than Tesla and other competitors when it came out and offered more for that money. However, now with recent price drops and more competition, it is a little higher in the price bracket than it could be. Thanks for the comments!

Do you guys come with the car?.. Great video!

I'm with you! The IONIQ 5 has more utility but less range. Check out the review here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nmSou9KhiafNqdY.html The 2024 Kona has the same storage space as a 2015 Tucson. But it takes 43 min at a fast charger instead of 18 min in the IONIQ series of vehicles. They also removed V2L at the last minute from the Kona.

@@livewirereview Oh that sucks for the Kona... I wanted this car but i guess i'll wait for the 2025 version... Hopefully they will add these missing features

Ty for the nice thorough review video. For the value i would stick to Tesla. plus FSD is second to none. I traded last month my Hyundai Palisade for a model S, and never looked back. no comparisons. It drove me a40 miles each way to work last week, without any single intervention, made driving so much easier and stress free.

There's a reason I take my model 3 everywhere I go!

Max theoretical speed, regardless of legality? :P
