Welcome to CarSceneKorea.
I introduce newly released Genesis, Hyundai and Kia cars.
And the car I have behind me today is IONIQ 5,
but before I start today's video,
I want to go through the reason why I have masks on, on pretty much all my reviews.
And nice little CarSceneKorea is written here.
And that is because I'll be telling you all about it in upcoming video.
This video is sponsored by SBA, Seoul Business Agency,
and KCDA, Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention Agency.
As well as Seoul Metropolitan Government.
Well, me being who I am, a YouTuber just going to places and also reviewing cars.
And other than that,
When I'm not reviewing the cars,
when I'm not in the car driving,
99% of the time, I'm in my office, editing the video,
just doing some work on the document and whatnot.
The nature being of my work,
and job doesn't really require meeting with that many people.
If I have to, usually I meet them online, right?
And I know how harsh it is for other people that require just offline basis,
you know, sales and meetings just to get started with - the restaurants and bars and all that.
And everybody is trying their best on their end and that also includes myself
and that's one of the biggest reasons why I'm wearing masks even when I'm in the car all by myself,
and also I am already vaccinated. I got Johnson & Johnson.
This car is a test driver.
And other people after I'm done reviewing,
and after I return the car, people will be in the car driving.
And of course, Hyundai does a great job cleaning this car up.
They go through an intensive aftercare after I returned the car.
I will be really much appreciated, if the person before me was doing the same thing.
Wearing the mask inside the car,
just looking out for a fellow citizen, fellow driver, fellow car enthusiasts.
And let me show you, this is the kit that Hyundai provided me with.
Which not only includes a one-time mask, KF94.
That is one of the highest grade, a mask that will protect the virus from penetrating the mask.
As well as this, you know, wet towel that says right here, antiseptic.
So, this is the effort that everybody here in Korea is going through.
And also, they provided us with this one as well.
Neo-medical hand clean gel.
This is the zero gravity mode,
which is one of my personal favorite feature, on this IONIQ 5 by far.
Just look at me going back, pushed all the way back.
So relaxed and I can have a beautiful sky right my eyes through this beautiful,
beautiful Vision Roof.
And it doesn't even take that long for me to get, go back and forth as I'm showing you right now.
And also, so let me show you and take you to other places,
in public places as well as restaurants, malls. Just everywhere and anywhere you go,
in Korea, we do a QR check-in,
which sends your information right to the server,
if there is a positive case that visited the same place as you did.
the government, if not, the system can send you a direct message
"Go get tested to see if you are positive and negative."
And also quarantine yourself for two weeks that's the duration that we have here in Korea,
just to get everything, you know, cleared and checked up.
So that being said, let me show you those clips of me checking in,
You know, how it's done here in Korea.
And other than that, enjoy this beautiful run and fun I had behind the wheels of the 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5.
it's coming right up.
I know how this car behaves are ready.
It's not like I have not driven the car.
Not quite to the maximum though.
Without further ado,
Let me take you to those corners and turns
and I'll try my best capturing and also showing you what and how it feels like.
Total mileage that I have put on IONIQ 5, not just this car but IONIQ 5 overall
is nearly about, I want to say, a thousand miles.
So, that's good with city roads, and also highway driving
as well as some of the canyon runs on whatnow.
Definitely, one thing that never changes on IONIQ 5 is
the giant wheel base, the 3 meters long.
From the front of the wheel to the back of the real wheel.
Thanks to E-GMP platform, Hyundai's first EV dedicated platform that was first used on IONIQ 5
and also will be seeing more of that platform on EV6 and other Hyundai, Kia, Genesis cars to come.
MNaneuvering alright.
So it takes time for that rear to follow and chase the front.
Hugging the corner alright.
Just look at this.
Let's go a little more stronger.
I don't know if we'll be able to capture the tire skid.
With the windows down.
I can go real fast on the throttle.
Tires not screaming at all.
Not a problem.
I want to brake until the ABS comes up.
You know what? Let's do it.
All right, the Abs did come up. But then,
you know, it didn't swerve at all.
It was straight stopping with the nose going down a little bit.
But it wasn't like going down deep down crazy.
Just so soft.
And didn't really feel that much of a vibration coming up from the foot brake either.
So you need to be familiar with when the motor is using the regenerative brake, plus your foot brake.
Because there is no transmission, but I do feel that kick, pushing me back.
And I believe that's interfering with the motor going backwards applied together with a foot brake.
And of course, we all know,
that this IONIQ 5 is not you know, supposedly built for those.
So, the rear kind of chases a little slower than I wish it would.
But jeez. When you put down on the accelerator,
this car being an RR (Rear motor, Rear wheel),
it's using all the power and you get the firm grip immediately.
I heard some of the skid,
so, definitely when I'm going downhill,
I can kind of feel that the brake is asking for help.
This IONIQ 5 being a 2-ton car.
So it needs more of a little bit of a more gap.
You need to be a little bit early on your foot brake.
And that's, I'm making a comparison to a Veloster N.
like all-out track cars.
The cars that are built for the performance-oriented cars.
So, compared to those cars,
you've got to be a little more early on your foot brake.
With just a typical, you know, a family car, SUV.
This car has enough sports car capability.
If I could this time, I want to shut up and just enjoy this one good round of the touge and canyon runs
with this IONIQ 5. So, let's go!
All right, so understeer.
But the rear was just smoothly catching up with the movement on the front.
Again, and nothing came up.
It's not like the VDC is engaging
but that much is how much, you know of a gap this IONIQ 5 allows you to have.
Almost as if it's asking you to have some fun in behind the wheel.
That's just crazy.
The rear was slipping, but nothing came up.
No VDC. Nothing. Almost,
as if it knows that you're going to do that.
And you can go super, super early on your accelerator.
Because the car being an RR, just like how FR cars are like.
Just like that.
I want to stop the ABS again. This time, I really want to go panic brake.
Let's see what it does. How it does.
Right here on the corner or straight brakes.
Just look at that.
It doesn't swerve at all.
Just stops. Puts the car into a halt in a perfect straight line.
I want to test it out here again.
Just look at that.
All you need to do.
All you need to do is just have. Hold onto the steering wheel and press down the foot brake, that's it, all you need to do.
Understeer that IONIQ 5 is giving me
makes me much more than prepared.
You know, he tells me "Hey, I'm going give you an understeer."
"So be ready for that."
It's telling me all that.
So direct.
And it's just so smooth around the turns.
I can't believe it's crazy 3 meter. A giant SUV with this crazy wheelbase is doing.
So now, I'm getting a little bit of, you know, brake pads being faded away.
I can feel about loss on the grip on the front tires. Or front brakes.
So after this one, I'm a step out and I'll see, you know, what the brake pads are like.
I am running this course about four and five rounds straight.
And I can feel that the front brakes are fading away.
And you see another one of the best part about IONIQ 5 2WD is.
That you can drift the heck out of this car.
This car is just nuts.
And as it always has been, thank you for watching the video.
Don't forget to subscribe CarSceneKorea.
And I'll see you in the next video.
I just got to do this again.
It feels so relaxed.
