Video Summary
Okay, here's the summary of the car review based on your instructions:It looks nothing like the Hyundai Ionic 5, but they're both built on the same E-GMP platform.
Base Light trim comes only with the smaller battery and rear-wheel drive.
The Wind and GT-Line trims get the big battery, and all-wheel drive is optional.
An 800-volt charging system is similar to those on the Porsche Taycan or Audi E-Tron.
Ideal range for the Light trim is 232 miles.
Rear-drive Wind and GT-Line can reach 309 miles.
With optional all-wheel drive, the range drops to 274 miles.
All-wheel drive GT doesn't have a rating yet; an estimate is 260 miles.
The tested rear-drive GT-Line makes 225 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.
An optional dual motor, all-wheel drive makes 320 hp and 446 lb-ft of torque.
The base Light version reaches 60 mph in 8 seconds.
The Wind or GT-Line does 0-60 in 7 seconds with rear-wheel drive.
All-wheel drive does 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. Kia says the GT, which is strictly all-wheel drive, will hit 60 in under 3.5 seconds.
Electric cars have instant torque off the line; this feels faster than it is.
It's fun to drive with nicely controlled body motions.
Has loads of standard active electronic safety tech.
An unusually large and comprehensive head-up display is included.
Kumo Crugen tires are all-season; but not specifically low rolling resistance.
Not all the interior materials are soft to the touch.
It lacks an obvious volume knob.
The front cubby is good for travel charge cords.
Has an unusually large head-up display.
Provides a vehicle-to-load adapter, an output of 1.9 kW, so one can even charge another EV.
A charge cord costs at least $200.
Pros: The Opposites United design language is eye-catching. Kia delivers on the estimated range in moderate temps. It will show you a good time in the curves. The GT-Line interior has dramatic looks and lighting.
Cons: The rear-wheel drive is quick in the city but loses oomph at higher speeds. The attractive cockpit has big C-pillar and hard surfaces. The powerful dual-motor all-wheel drive reduces range. Many cars get a heated steering wheel without all-wheel drive.
