Good thorough honest review. It's nice to see people who are capable of giving balanced reviews of stuff they own. It's human nature and all too common for ownership bias to kick in.

I love how many points you highlighted of differences between this and the Tesla that so many reviewers miss. Bottom line is that it’s a long video, but you cover a ton of detail, and while I’ve owned an Ioniq 5 for 2 months now, I just watched this video again, and learned a few new things. Thank you.

I’ve never felt the need for a lockable glovebox. Principally, I never leave anything valuable in my cars in the first place. I leave my glovebox opened full view to preempt any potential break in for valuables.

Just like Kyle, Dave has an excellent rapport on camera. I love the enthusiasm and details from both of you!

I’ve watched so many reviews of this car and I’m still learning new things from this on!Excellent review!

Great review, you're easy to listen to, almost like you are talking directly to me. Good job!

The lower the total harmonic distortion (THD) of a sound system, the lower the perceived volume at any given setting; that's because you're hearing more of the originally recorded signal and less noise from the speakers and amplifiers. This means you have to crank it a bit higher to get the same effect, but it also means that the sound system is less fatiguing to the ears.

Love Kyle’s dad in the mix! This is a great 1 week review. Thanks!

Great review, Kyle learned how to dive into the important details from you ! Coldgating is the big issue with these cars.

Fantastic real world review 👍🏾 I’m thinking about get one as my next vehicle ☺️

Looking forward to future Ioniq 5 updates from Dave!

Very Good Video. Pretty cool seeing your view of it. I laughed seeing you wear a Tesla jacket while driving it. Btw I think you are the first to mention that the glove box doesn't lock. I haven't noticed that before.. Keep the videos coming.

Thank you for great review!!! very helpful!

I thoroughly enjoy all your reviews. Saw this one from a few months ago, but it has more relevance now. We purchased our VW ID4 first edition in 2021. We loved the car. Our only concern was with the software, which VW said would be updated in a few months. That has not been the case. Now there’s a recall for a larger problem with the battery. So we are trading in this car which I still love for a Model Y. Granted, the price drop and rebate have been another reason, but too many problems with VW including opaque messages which keep giving more reasons for delays in updating battery. Thanks for all your work on electrics and I especially like your videos including your wife and adorable little terrier. Patti Mackin Chicago Chicago

Thank you for your first balanced impression on ionic 5, It was really useful.

Well done great video, very thorough …. I’m looking forward to the car detailing video

Great review. Thanks. Would be interesting to see future updates that talk about operating costs (charging cost) with charging at home versus at public battery chargers. Does this have a front view camera? If so, does it automatically engage when put into forward gear? I suppose it disengages at 5 mph?? Interesting stats off your “add-on” screen. Is something like that built into the Ionic’s menu system? Can the Ionic be charged at a Tesla charging station with an interface adapter? With 1/2 hour free charging I understand why you are not charging at home. Unfortunately, not everyone has the luxury of spending 30 minutes at a charging station on a daily basis. Wonder how long it would take to charge when the battery pack is at -10 F for our midwestern winter climates? Also, something to consider on long road trips in the winter season.

Been researching EV’s for over a month now. Thanks to this channel I’m going the Ioniq5 Route. SEL or Limited trim. Next challenge is trying to find one in SoCal…

Flash forward a year... Ioniq5's discounted $10K off MSRP and they're sitting on lots unsold. Sure glad I wasn't an early adopter. Used Ioniq5's selling at 50% of their MSRP.

Great video. I like the discussion about lane keeping and ACC being de-coupled. One thing I just discovered about this car is how to completely turn off lane and steering assist. One big negative up until now was having this on constantly and having the steering wheel "fight" me on one lane roads. Once I learned how to turn off, it's so much better. Still use all the features on multi lane highways but good not having it on smaller roads.

Yes, I agree. Also, regenerative breaking is ONLY useful to control the car coming down a long incline. Those who use it to come to a stop at traffic lights etc.. are just too lazy, and it generates very little charges back to the battery on flat surfaces.

Great review! As an FYI - you can change that Favorite (Star) button on either the steering wheel or the one you pressed to go to "Phone Projection." That will make it go right to carplay if you want. Hold down the favorite buttons for a couple of seconds to bring up the menu to set what it actually does, pick "phone projection."

​@@ourfamilytogether Both Taycan and Lucid Air can both pull faster speeds vs Ioniq 5.

Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 have the best charging speed among electric cars, but the actual charging speed depends on the temperature of the battery pack, which drops when the battery pack is cold or too hot (max. module temperature higher than 45°C). Because the Ioniq 5 does not preheat the battery en route to a CCS charger, charging takes longer in winter. Test results by Bjorn Nyland and James Cheung: when the battery pack minimum temperature is -5°C/23°F to +5°C/41°F: 50 kW 5°C/41°F to 11°C/52°F: 65 kW 11°C/52°F to 15°C/59°F: 73 kW 15°C/59°F to 20°C/68°F: 115 kW 20°C/68°F to 25°C/77°F: 185 kW over 25°C/77°F: 225 kW

Welcome home!

Excellent Review.

24:52 Thank you so much for clarifying this. I've tried asking so many people because someone told me their passenger had the function and the owner's manual says it doesn't. Now I finally understand. To me, it's a deal-breaker. I want my passenger to be able to recline properly. I think if anyone should have it, it's the passenger. I've done so many road trips as a passenger and wished I had this kind of seat recliner to sleep in the car. I could only imagine how obnoxious it would be if the driver used this function (i.e. crashing at a charging station) and they had a passenger unable to. I know it generally won't be a problem, but if I'm going to drop $60k on a car, I want to not have big issues like that, lack of rear windshield wiper, and having to set i-Pedal every single time I drive. There's so many things to love about the Ioniq 5, though, so it is still #2 for me on what I'd be interested to get, whenever I can. Loved your review. Really well done. Really appreciate the discussion on charging, too. People like to brag on the Ioniq 5 with the claimed 10-80% in 18 minutes, but that's really ideal conditions. Interesting that you need the FOB to open the V2L in the back. You're the first person I've seen mention that, so thanks. Not a huge issue but kinda weird and worth keeping in mind. For the charging algorithm, it might be based in Celcius. 68F is 20C and the jump seemed to happen then. 15C is 59F so maybe there was a jump there, too?

I honestly think I saw you on Long Island, getting on to the Southern State Parkway. That car is not something you see everyday so It definitely stood out.

Your review was very well done, Dave. Maybe sometime you can talk about or test the regenerative brakes to see if the kw gain is worth learning a new driving skill or is coasting king just like in traditional cars.

Great video and forward review... I've put 132,000km on my Koma Electric in 2 years and went looking at the Ioniq 5 for my wife a few weeks back. The car is nice, but the dash is a huge turn off. That big display in front if the driver shows so little useful information. The speedometer is blocked by your left hand which if you don't have the HUD is a problem. And sure you can push a button at your knee to access a menu on the infotainment panel to access the heated seats. But just too much distraction going on for the driver with all the diffrent button locations. The Kia EV6 has a centre console gear selector, which could have housed some simple buttons like all thier other models do for quick access items like this. I see a redesign coming quickly for this car..

Damn good review. This was great. I am now torn though. I really like the styling of the ID 4 because it goes under the radar, and it seems taller, closer to an SUV. I would be coming from a Honda Pilot, so I like sitting up high.

Thanks for a very detailed review. This is a fair effort from Hyundai. It will sell well. One thing I cannot believe is after seeing a large frunk and an elegantly hidden charge port in a Tesla Model S back in 2012… Most manufacturers still can’t give us these simple features.

About headlights, I read that most Ioniq5 dont have them aligned at preparation time from the factory ie too low to get the best out of them. Even Bjørn could not appreciate them at their best. Just have them aligned at same time as the wheels when getting the car

Thanks for explaining the Veepeak OBD device. I love looking at that type of telemetry. I did a quick Amazon search for this device, will most any OBD device show what was displayed on your tablet? No sure if I could possibly get the wrong one? Thanks!

Hi - great review - appreciate the insights - question - what is the app on your tablet with the battery temps, etc.? is it proprietary to the OBD2 scanner? What scanner do you have - tried to catch it in your comments, but not quite sure.... Thanks again!

Interesting the height in the Ioniq 5, I sat in an Ioniq 5 and sitting correctly for me my head was just rubbing the roof unlike my classic Ioniq which I have a huge space between the top of my head and the roof of the car. Public monies should not be used on proprietary charging standards, a-la Tesla, and that mall really didn't think they need to have put in chargers that ALL EV's can use not a select few remember that could be there for 10yrs and in that time the market will be a lot more EV's. Interesting you can lock the car with the keys in it, my classic Ioniq doesn't allow me to lock the car it beeps at me if I try to lock the car with the keys in it. My classic 28kWh Ioniq also charges the 12V, it has a blue light on the dash indicating that similar to the 5 then. Thanks Dave for another fantastic review you need to be on the channel WAY more, love to see a road trip video like Kyle does sometime in your Ioniq 5.

I have never had the issue with the key fob on the ID4 it is very sensitive and works very well!!! On the App and software. I might say any other vehicle is more reliable than the one on the ID4

That rear window might be OK in warmer weather 33.8 f isn't cold . But if you live somewhere that gets real winter like me , and you're mostly driving around town you need the wiper . I drive a 19 Kia Niro hybrid hatch and we use that wiper plenty .

In a Tesla you could potentially just set autopilot to a really low speed and use the accelerator yourself. And in regards to the i-pedal, have you tried setting and then saving your driver profile afterwards? I'm not sure if it's like a Tesla where your driver profile saves all settings.

This was a great review kind of gave a good feeling what it's like to be with his vehicle. I have one question I know you're familiar with the model why how would you compare the two.

Very nice review and lots of nice details. - The one thing that most complain about is that changing settings can be difficult and you have to drill down on menus to make changes and turn things on and off, like heated steering and seats. But my understanding is that the car has a fairly robust voice command system. It would be nice to know what can be done through voice commands. Is there a list somewhere to tell you this information. It would seem using the voice commands would be a one button solution. Any comments? Thanks

The Tesla adaptive cruise control controls speed and braking. It is a subsystem of the autopilot. In other words, if you have another phantom brake event, it will happen because of the cruise control.

Bummer that the glove box cannot be locked. That said, my plan all along was to leave valuables such as a tablet or laptop computer in the frunk. I think for the most part hardly any people breaking into the car are going to think to look in the frunk.

It’s interesting to see the difference in the menu options between the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and my ‘22 Niro EV (we also have a ‘18 Niro hybrid). I know most Hyundai/Kia vehicles the menus are very similar but this is completely different than our Niros.

There are states where you are required to keep a copy of your registration in the glove box and also required to keep it unlocked. There may be enough such places now that glove box locks are useless. Many modern cars do not have them.

To me this car isn't ready with the charging. It's the same thing as the Kia ev6 what's the use of buying a heat pump with the car and you have to spend all that time charging the pack up until it reaches 75⁰ or higher to reach optimum speeds?? Maybe I'm not understand this but I feel they need to recall and fix that or give people their money back. I thought the whole purpose of the heat pump was to warm the pack up?? Too much time sitting and waiting. This car is growing on me but I want the leg rest on the passenger side that's crazy not to give the passenger that comfort like they do on the UK/EU cars. Booo! Oh! Rain-X for the back glass problem solved! LoL! Great video Dave your putting Kyle out of Business there with all the good tips & info love it keep it up.

I also read by Motorweek Edmunds and TopGear had it as low as 4.4 seconds!!

I would bet that the more people charging the slower the charge rate. It probably shares a certain amperage for all of the machines and adjusts the volts as more amps are drawn on the terminals.

Great video
