Welcome to Tech in the Car! I've got the Hyundai Ioniq 5
and what happens when you have your electric car maybe you've got a Tesla now
and you run out of charge in the middle of the countryside like we are now well maybe you need
a Hyundai Ioniq 5 because you have something called V2L vehicle to load which lets you charge
your Tesla from the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and I'm going to show you how that works now
So we got the Tesla charger here
and this is a vehicle to load adapter
and we plug this in here like that this has got a nice waterproof cover on it as well
turn on the vehicle to load and then if i press a button on here the Tesla
charging will open and now the Tesla model 3 is being charged by the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and
you can charge any electric vehicle with this with a 3-pin plug you can also charge up to 3.5
kilowatts if you have a european adapter for that and what's cool about this is you can also power
other things like a coffee machine or a lawn mower or whatever you can plug in you can do with this
you could plug in a caravan and power that as well that's pretty cool this electric car has a load of
first which other electric cars don't have it's a next level game changer i borrowed this car from
Brooklyn Hyundai Seaford if you're after Hyundai Ioniq 5 or any other car please give them a visit
let's talk about trim levels there are three trim levels the se connect premium which is what this
car is and the ultimate there are two different battery sizes 58 kilowatts and 73 kilowatt hours
which is what this car is 73 kilowatt hours which gives it a range of around 300 miles
this car is built on the 800 volt architecture which means it can charge on a super rapid charger
60 ish miles in about five minutes which is very similar to a traditional petrol car on standard
charges that you get right now you can do 10 to 80 of charge in about 20 minutes so it's able to
charge really fast and it gives you as i mentioned around 300 miles of range at the top end there are
also two different motor options rear motor only which gives you a rear wheel drive car which is
like this car and then there's an all-wheel drive car the all-wheel drive car has 300 horsepower
the rear wheel drive cars have around 200 horsepower i'll put the exact numbers up on
the screen so you can see it for yourself whatever trim level you buy this car has something to offer
and we're going to talk about what's in this car the premium edition and also talk about what would
be in the ultimate edition as well if you had an ultimate edition but i think we should start
now with the design on this car which is pretty spectacular let's talk about the design of the
front of this car so first we got a dome bonnet at the end here it drops off quite sharply you can't
see that from inside the car from outside it adds to the aggressive look we've got these beautiful
headlights so these i believe are called the pixel headlights by Hyundai and they've got a very retro
80s feel carrying on the same kind of feeling the Honda he gave me which i really really loved
and then this bumper at the front here despite being not all the same material it looks very very
whole as a design so what i mean by that is we've got our gravity mat gold here and then down here
we've got it as well this area here which is actually also a light bar and lights up at night
is just a different shade of that and then down here this is a different shade
and a different shade behind that so it's basically very very much coming across as
a design at the front here which is very very cool also down here these air vents are actually active
air vents which will open and close depending on the speed you're going to help with the
aerodynamics to help with the range performance of this car so it's a really really striking design
from the front this car is deceptively large now how much space is there inside the front
of the ioniq 5 well let's check and find out so you'll see here this is very nicely packaged
design this is again a really cool design on the hood here this car being the rear wheel drive only
model has 57 litres of space probably have some carrying luggage with your shopping the all-wheel
drive version has 24 liters of space because there's obviously an extra motor at the front
of the car you can see your various fluids that need to be put in here and your 12 volt battery to
start the car up this is the side profile of the hyundai ioniq 5 and again it's got a lot of really
cool stuff going on i'm right by the door handle here so let's talk about this it's got pop-out
door handles they pop out when you get close to the car and they go in when you move away from it
just like that or lock it like that and then of course it's keyless entry so i can open it like
that which is very cool then let's talk about the size of this car so it's hatchback shape but
actually it's three meters between the wheels and over four from front to back so this car is more
like the size of a range rover than a volkswagen golf which means that the looks are very deceptive
to be like the tardis it looks maybe smaller from the outside but it's bigger on the inside and then
we have the wheels and 19 inches with michelin tires on them on the ultimate edition they're 21
inch which is even bigger and they have a really cool design this is not the fractal design the
fractal design is on the ultimate edition but they still look really cool they're diamond cut
and they have a really cool look to them but we should also talk about the design on the side
of the car so i just moved out the way here you can see this really cool triangular design coming
down the side here and what's really cool with all these different surfaces and all these different
angles is as the light hits the paint whatever paint it is obviously this is the matte gold
it will show different shades of the color and it will catch your eyes and of course down here this
is obviously a different shade as well and as a design it's very very much like i said that
retro design but it looks also futuristic and it's really really cool i like it a lot so what about
the space at the back of the honda ionic five so if you've got the premium edition which this is
we have an electronic tailgate which obviously is very nice and simple to use and there's 531 liters
of space back here that's bigger than any of the competitors that's enough to fit three massive
large suitcases in enough to fit three full size golf club sets in underneath the floor of the boot
there's also space for your type 2 charging cables and your tire repair kit this car has a plastic
covering here which is great for all weather protection the back of the car
maybe you got a dog or something back here and if you want to cover up what's in the back of the car
we have this little screen that you can pull out and cover it with which works very very easily
without space in the back of the car let's have a look and see how much room there is inside at the
back here we also have these vents these vents channel the air down you can't see them from
where you are but they're there and they bring the air down and they reduce the air pressure
and then we've got this really cool different angle design at the back here again different
shades catching the light in different ways which add to that cohesive futuristic yeah retro look
all over the car so how much space is there in the back of the hyundai ioniq 5 well i've got tons of
headroom i mean like literally like this much i got tons of knee room there's probably a foot in
front of me if i'm honest with you there is a lot of space plus these seats are actually adjustable
they can move forward and backwards and if you move them forwards you can actually recline them
as well so i can actually recline back in this back chair and of course i can also move it like
that that's a bit too straight but i have a lot of adjustability in this in the back of the car how
cool is that plus there's two usb sockets back here so you can charge your phone and there's
these cool air vents on the doors which are really really interesting and when you close the door
you don't feel at all cramped let's talk about the really cool charging technology
on the hyundai ioniq 5 so the first thing is just like the porsche tycan this car has an
electrically operated power door for the charging bay really really cool obviously it has ac and dc
and as i mentioned it does 220 kilowatts rapid charging now one thing this car has which is
very unique although it's also on its brother the kia ev6 is something called vehicle to
load v2 l and what that is it lets the car output power to charge other things there's nothing
that you can't plug into this that it can't handle including charging other electric cars
remember this can charge other electric cars pretty cool you've been for a long walk with
your doggy and he or she's got really wet in the rain you've dried them up with their towel
but now what what are you gonna do they're still wet you don't want to put them in your car
well you might have one of these this is a doggy drive it's basically a really powerful hairdryer
with the ioniq five you can plug this in because it's got a three-pin plug
and you can have enough power to actually operate this you can't do that on any other cars
because it requires more power than the car can output but the ionic five can output that so i'm
going to show you now how do you power this from the inside of the ionic five we'll take the plug
open the door unsurprisingly plug it in to the three pin socket
back here the light will go green to let you know it's working and then
just turn it on and then
you can dry your doggy welcome to the inside of the hyundai ioniq 5. the interior of this
car is absolutely delightful to be in there is a ton of space i can even reach my feet across
the passenger side of the car spacing this car is not something which you need to worry about
if you have passengers or if you're on your own and you want to store stuff
there is a lot of it in fact we've got two cup holders in front of me here we've got a cavernous
space in the middle here where you can store stuff plus wireless charging there's another
space here where you can store stuff there's five usbs in this car two in the middle here
one up front here and then two in the back there plus is a 12 volt for you plugging in your
cigarette charger if you have one i want to use it in terms of these seats these seats are pretty
comfortable they're very spacious and they're very very adjustable in fact they can go back
all the way you can one and you can recline them and have a nap
while you're charging your ioniq 5. although don't worry because this car has super fast charging
you probably won't have time for a nap remember it can right now charge 80 in 20 minutes and
eventually when the infrastructure is there you'll be able to charge 60 miles roughly in about five
minutes what else is going on inside this car we've got this really cool steering wheel which
is missing bottom spokes which is kind of squared off and instead of having the hyundai logo has
three dots in the middle i'm not sure what that's about and then we have these two 12-inch displays
it has android auto and apple carplay we've got this interesting design here where there's like
this little flat area in front of the screen i'm guessing you can rest your hands on it if you need
to use a touch screen while driving and then we've got some physical buttons down here which let you
adjust things like the cameras and tuning the radio media nav map turn the volume up and down
your start stop button and then we have capacitive touch controls for your climate control down here
which look very cool they are a tiny bit fiddly to touch when driving but you'll get used to them
i'm sure capacitive controls are something which everyone has including even ferrari so it's not a
new thing and i think that's the way everyone is going and then what about the glove box well this
is more like a glove cavern or a glove drawer i guess because it slides out and there is so
much space in there it's unbelievable you can fit probably pretty much anything in there in fact you
could probably even store your shopping in there there's so much space in there it really really is
massive now there are some things which you can get inside this car which this car being
premium doesn't have depending on the pack you spec and the trim you can add stuff like
a sliding center console you can add stuff like having these seats adjust to a fully reclined
position with one button and saving it you also can get the surround view camera 360 camera
i personally would suggest spending that extra money to get that extra tick because i think this
car really really fun to drive really really easy to drive and you'll see it in the driving video
but it's a large car and seeing what's around you is really really handy when parking so i
think that would be a great thing plus you can also get a head-up display which is very cool and
blind spot assistance where when you indicate it will show what's in your blind spot on the screen
in front of you so all these extra tech features i think are worth paying the extra for and somewhere
like brooklyn hyundai and seaford can give you a really good deal on that in terms of the side
bins for the doors they're nice and spacious there's even space actually for drinks in there
as well and then we've got obviously amazing head room in this car you don't feel cramped
at all in this car if you want to learn more about the infotainment system i have an infotainment
video coming up so keep your eyes open for that and watch it if you want to and now let's go for
drive and see what this car is like and then come back and give it a tick in the car score
driving the hyundai ioniq 5. so what are my impressions well first of all let's
talk about the technology and what this car gives you i've already mentioned we've got
two brilliant displays in front of me which give me information about my car about the road speed
the range this car has fantastic range around 300 miles some of the entry-level specs are a bit less
but still it's really good range it will get you really far compared to other cars on the
market and then in addition to that you've got that super fast charging 220 kilowatts
ionity charges are 350 kilowatts and included at the discounted rate i believe with this car if you
buy one of these so ionity are really really fast but they're also really expensive if you're not
a customer of theirs through a manufacturer so you know that's actually a good add-on that
you get let's talk about the regen braking on this car so we've got our three modes
you've got eco which is designed obviously to save as much battery and range as possible and it feels
much much slower to respond we've got normal which is a bit better and then of course we've
got sport where immediately you can feel that it's a lot faster you get the full power of the
electric motor in this car now the regen braking is really interesting you've got these paddles
you can adjust the muffler down to adjust the strength of the regen braking to make it stronger
or weaker you can also do it in automatic mode and you can adjust that in the settings i think
that driving actually in region mode is the best way to do it with the highest regen because then
you can basically do one pedal driving with this car and you don't need to press the brake i think
that when you're pressing the brake and you don't have the regen breaking up this car maybe doesn't
feel as easy to break as it does with a regen braking maybe i'm just getting really used to
regen braking i know i wasn't a huge fan of regen braking when i drove my first electric car but the
more i've driven it the more i've become used to it so you know and it's just much easier knowing
that you can drive a car basically with one pedal i just had to press a brake there but that's
only because the traffic stopped in front of me unexpectedly we've got all to hold on this too
so it means i don't have to press my brake down and hold my foot down on the thing when i get to
a place where i need to stop like now i can just press it once or to hold will engage and i'll stay
stationary so you know there's lots of very very easy things about this drive the gear shifter you
know that's kind of mercedes-esque having it on the side of the steering column also tesla does it
obviously it saves all the space in the middle for storage because you don't have a gear
shifter there so that's a good benefit to have so what's my taking the car score for this hyundai
ioniq five well this car gets five out of five in everything for connectivity for parking the driver
assistance for comfort in fact on certain models it will even park itself using the remote control
which is really really cool the only place where this car is let down slightly is in value it can
get quite pricey i don't think it's unreasonable considering all the amazing stuff this car has
but i have to knock it down a bit there so it gets three for pricing what that means is
this is the highest rated car i've reviewed on the channel 28 out of 30 on the tech in the car
score please visit brooklyn hyundai seaford they're the ones that lend me
this car they're really great there they'll show you around the car don't forget to
watch my video on the infotainment system if you want to know more about how that works
and please give us a like if that useful and subscribe for more on tech in the car
