Video Summary
Key points and findings from the electric car review are:- Hyundai's Ioniq 5 design is unique, though not considered especially "pretty."
- "Project 45" launch edition includes all the tech package and adds trim differences.
- The Project 45 includes the solar roof but is no longer available in the UK.
- The satin metallic paint finish looks fantastic.
- The all LED headlights look as though they should be matrix but the lighting is static.
- The 20-inch wheels are a cool design and maintain a comfortable ride.
- The taillights are described as pixilated and like Minecraft.
- As an electric car, the battery is under the floor. The car has a 77 kWh battery with a 73 kWh usable capacity.
- Extra height gives it really good space inside. It has great head room and has seat-to-floor space.
- The reviewer found the seats to be more comfortable than the Model 3 with heated back seats. Seats can be reclined.
- The car has a power tailgate with two speed settings. It is apparently possible to set the power tailgate to open slower.
- Boot size is good, not as deep as some, but it is wide.
- Lots of hard plastic is included in the trim.
- No USB-C and not wireless Apple CarPlay is in the front.
- The car does include USB-A in the back.
- It has fast charging capabilities.
- High speed efficiency is not too much over 200 miles per charge, but around town it reaches 250 miles.
- There are issues with the auto lock/unlock.
- There are standard start/off buttons for the car, unlike some EVs.
- Lane assist autopilot makes it so that the car fidgets in the lane and can't permanently turn off the lane assist.
- There's too much grayish plastic.
- Overall, the Ioniq 5 is a good, comfortable car.
