This is the IONIQ 5...
... an Hyundai EV...
... that looks like it just returned from the future
with crazy body lines...
... the longest door in history...
... a glass roof...
... & integrated aero roof spoiler
no rear wiper (which is a mistake in my opinion)
sharp lines and edges
an incredibly cool pixel light signature
headlights look as if they're hiding under the hood
with the same pixel effect LED lights...
... but also a hidden part you only see at night
check out that light strip...
... the future is now
our car is painted in Lucid Blue...
... with 20" black aero rims
this is the long range 'HTRAC' version...
... with a 72.6 kWh battery
you can charge it up to 11 kW AC...
... or up to 221 kW DC...
... thanks to an 800V compatible charging system
flush door handles
let's gooo!
a lot of beeping at startup
sunshades that open from the center
movable center console
storage
flat cabin floor
fonky Bose sound system
storage + USB & 12V socket
cupholders + 2x USB charge port
wireless charging tray
storage drawer
with a 680 page user manual...
... because this car has a lot of tricks
let's go for a drive first and I'll show you later
twist to shift
cool side camera view in the dashboard when using indicators
paddles to select amount of brake regeneration
drive mode selector
eco, normal, sport & snow
more beeping going on
Bose sound system doing its thing
thumb control for switching dashboard screens
it does the 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds...
... but 100 to 0 km/h is fast too
the IONIQ 5 uses level 2 autonomous driving,...
... so there's adaptive cruise control & active steering
let's go for some highway driving
this is full throttle...
... powering all 4 wheels
the 2 electric motors make 306 hp & 605 Nm of torque
at normal pace, it only powers the rear wheels
with Highway Driving Assist, it controls speed, distance & assists changing lanes
speed is limited to 185 km/h
the cockpit layout is so open...
... you could probably reach the pedals as a passenger
nice & clear HUD
according to WLTP, the range is 462 km...
... but a realistic range is about 370 km
the IONIQ 5 features several autonomous parking options...
... some useful, some hilarious...
... but all of them are really slow...
... so I made a separate video just about that
now let's continue our tour with a 3D outer body experience
exterior reversing sound
the front seats are highly adjustable thanks to a sea of buttons...
with a special 'relax-while-you-charge' button
reclined seating position is based on NASA's Zero-Gravity body posture
yep, that's some proper relaxing...
... in style
interesting 80's revival material mix
let's check out that trunk
cable bag
plastic protection cover
extra under floor storage area
adjustable trunk cover position
flat floor in the rear, no transmission tunnel
free standing rear seats
60:40 foldable
1591 liter cargo space
reclining rear seats
space in the back is great
air vents integrated in the B-pillar
2x USB charging ports
nice fabric
seat heater
integrated sun screens
I could live here
5 year unlimited mileage warranty
what's under the hood? frunk?
is it an engine cover?
no, it's a frunk with another 57 liters of cargo space
... although it feels smaller
12.25" touch screen
fast & responsive
a soundscape library
a fireplace, rain, waves, a forest or a snowy village
heated seats
and a lot of menu options...
... this is just the climate part
think I'll be needing some more reading
hope to see you again next time...
THANKS, FOR WATCHING!
