WEBVTT

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:08.280
EVS can be many things blindingly fast

00:00:06.359 --> 00:00:12.200
quiet and comfortable or for the most part just plain boring but not a single

00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:17.760
person is going to say that about what we have here today cuz this right here

00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:20.279
oh my God it's the ionic 5n and it is

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:25.400
the best eveve I have ever driven because it somehow manages to be fun

00:00:22.840 --> 00:00:30.080
Hyundai's end division is just off the chain insane I don't know what they are

00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:34.800
thinking giving this to the public but man am I ever glad that they did let's

00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:38.960
have a look the ionic 5 was already an excellent looking car we've got these

00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:44.160
pixel looking headlights here but it's sort of like you take one of those and a

00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:47.120
gaming laptop and smash them together

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:52.719
and this is what you get it's 50 mm wider and just so much fiercer looking

00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:58.480
we have it in performance blue which I think looks great popping the hood we

00:00:55.680 --> 00:01:03.440
can see that there is no frunk but just loads of motor on underneath there and

00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:08.280
also easy access to your 12volt battery which is nice cuz that's just hidden

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:14.159
somewhere stupid in some EVS moving around to the side we have 21in forged

00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:19.159
rims that are wrapped in pelli P0 that are

00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:21.000
275s they are freaking massive and you

00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:24.840
definitely need that given how much power this thing has and of course if

00:01:23.240 --> 00:01:29.520
you're going fast you need to be stopping fast which is why we have these

00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:34.040
massive two-piece rotors and some red painted four piston calipers that you

00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:38.159
know are going to stop you good moving to the doors the handles will do a

00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:43.920
little wave to you if you so want but they do have the absolute laziest backup

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:48.119
key implementation that I have ever seen I don't know why I can't go in here this

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:53.520
thing's absolutely massive but if you need to it can go in right there here

00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:58.640
we've got a rear air curtain and around the back we have an absolutely massive

00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:04.439
diffuser it sticks off the back making this thing 4 point 7 m long and popping

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:09.560
open the trunk we've got these beautiful cool looking brake lights and a pretty

00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:14.280
decent amount of storage in here although we don't get any extra bonus

00:02:11.959 --> 00:02:20.360
storage because down in here we have the subwoofer for our Bose sound system one

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:26.720
place that Hyundai has really enhanced the ionic 5 for 2025 oh my God would you

00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:31.879
look at that it has a rear wiper it really needed one before and especially

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:36.800
with this massive spoiler that we have here this thing gets really dirty really

00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:42.120
fast this thing is built on 800 volt architecture which allows you fast

00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:44.480
charging from 10 to 80% in just 18

00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:50.319
minutes which you'll probably want to do because the rated range of this thing is

00:02:46.519 --> 00:02:52.519
355 km and given how you are going to be

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:58.959
driving it you will be getting less than that I guarantee you also very soon this

00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:05.319
should be converted to nacs but it is not for 20 25 so maybe you want to wait

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:07.000
a little bit hopping into the rear seats

00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:12.640
you can move them forward if you hate leg room you can recline them if you

00:03:09.239 --> 00:03:15.200
want to be nice and relaxed overall it

00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:20.879
is quite nice to sit in here I have plenty of Headroom even though the floor

00:03:17.480 --> 00:03:22.720
is raised up a little bit so my legs

00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:28.560
they wouldn't hate being a tiny bit lower we also have two cup holders two

00:03:25.480 --> 00:03:30.599
USBC Chargers and a manual privacy

00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:37.040
screen if you want to not see any of your haters hopping into the driver's seat we

00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:42.239
have shockingly good seats and I mean that in the sense that they are very

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:46.280
aggressive bucket seats they have little holes here so you can put a fivepoint

00:03:44.239 --> 00:03:51.519
harness in if you are properly tracking this thing they really hold you in Place

00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:55.519
full manual you do not get any seat memory at all but what you do get is

00:03:53.239 --> 00:03:59.920
heated and ventilation the only thing that I wish that they had was some

00:03:57.480 --> 00:04:04.480
adjustable lumbar support but it's not you're going to be sitting in these

00:04:01.079 --> 00:04:07.200
particularly long given the range of it

00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:11.280
that said though overall I am super impressed with these seats and I very

00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:16.040
happy that they put them in even if it does feel kind of weird being in this

00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:20.040
like hardcore bucket seat and then looking around and being like oh wow I

00:04:17.919 --> 00:04:23.600
on an SUV that the passengers like a whole Arms Reach away for the center

00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:27.759
console they seem to have just completely given up on the idea of

00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:31.759
having a bunch of space in the center cuz probably no one used it anyway we've

00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:37.160
got two cup holders down here that you can disappear if you don't want them we

00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:41.479
have heaps of chargers three of them and 12vt Supply one thing that is rather

00:04:39.880 --> 00:04:47.199
annoying is that down here we have a button to change this USB port on the

00:04:43.960 --> 00:04:49.440
left from data or tojust power and I

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:52.919
just hit it all the time by accident like look you are putting your phone in

00:04:51.080 --> 00:04:57.360
here and it's just so easy to be like Boop and if you do that or just break

00:04:55.560 --> 00:05:01.600
really hard your Android auto gets turned off unless you have wireless

00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:05.440
enabled which I do now but it was really annoying until I did that extra step if

00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:11.560
you don't want to be plugged in though there is a wireless charger that I've

00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:13.639
never seen work what does work well is

00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:18.479
this little storage compartment right here and we also have a fully functional

00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:24.759
glove box featuring nothing dumb which for whatever reason is a plus in an EV

00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.120
what is kind of dumb though is

00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:33.199
everything here but dumb in the best kind of way this steering wheel and kind

00:05:29.880 --> 00:05:35.759
of just the entire car is incredibly

00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:40.840
confusing there are so many modes so many different things to try out but now

00:05:38.440 --> 00:05:44.960
I just have it all dialed in and oh my God is it ever good we have our end

00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:49.080
gauge cluster up here there are different options but just use this one

00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:53.759
it is by far the best we have our drive mode select which you are just probably

00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:58.319
never going to use because we have our end mode select down here which gives

00:05:56.440 --> 00:06:02.720
you all of the modes that you actually want cuz we have our end mode then we

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:07.400
have our custom one and custom 2 having two Customs is great because you can

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:11.919
just tell it turn off my traction control when I press this button this

00:06:09.400 --> 00:06:17.160
thing is pretty wild especially when you have so much power it will turn those

00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:22.240
tires into rubber on the road on the right side of the steering wheel we have

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:24.720
NGB which stands for nrin Boost gives

00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:28.520
you an extra 40 horsepower for 10 seconds and if I am honest I don't

00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:33.240
really notice the difference cuz you are so traction Limited it anyway and down

00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:40.880
here we have a second end button which enables our fake engine

00:06:36.840 --> 00:06:42.840
which is really quite a good bit of fun

00:06:40.880 --> 00:06:48.039
also what is quite fun is just playing with the obscene number of settings that

00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:52.360
they have in their custom menus one of the things that has really annoyed me

00:06:49.919 --> 00:06:58.160
with electric cars is the fact that an electric motor is incredibly easy to

00:06:55.240 --> 00:07:01.919
change how it reacts you can very easily just go in change some numbers and be

00:06:59.440 --> 00:07:07.199
like wow the whole feeling of driving is completely different now but for the

00:07:04.039 --> 00:07:10.400
most part everyone is just like here's

00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:12.840
one drive mode maybe you get to enable

00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:17.080
creep or not it is very disappointing that they go with it just being super

00:07:15.039 --> 00:07:22.759
easy when it could be incredibly customizable for the people that want to

00:07:19.479 --> 00:07:25.280
and oh my god do they ever give you a

00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:29.160
lot of options in here so looking at the main menu we have end torque

00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:33.720
distribution that allows you to change how much of the power is being sent to

00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:40.199
the front and the back we also have our n pedal which allows you to have up to

00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:42.400
0.6 G's of regenerative braking now this

00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:47.400
right here does have a little warning on it saying to only use it on the track

00:07:44.919 --> 00:07:52.680
and for the most part I have gotten very used to just ignoring warnings like that

00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:56.400
but man you have to be careful when nend pedal is on they are not kidding that it

00:07:54.759 --> 00:08:01.039
really transfers the weight to those front wheels and if you're not paying

00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:05.479
attention it will catch you out we also have n race right here which provides

00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:10.520
better cooling to the batteries and more current duration although it might cause

00:08:07.919 --> 00:08:15.120
a bit of degradation to your batteries oh well and we have n drift Optimizer

00:08:13.479 --> 00:08:20.440
which I have not been playing around with CU we have not been on a track in

00:08:17.919 --> 00:08:24.400
here we also have N battery which allows you to have drag mode which will

00:08:22.479 --> 00:08:28.919
increase the temperature of your battery a little bit so that it is absolutely

00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:33.320
optimal for just ripping down the straights we also have track mode which

00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:38.839
is more for cooling your battery so you can be on the gas really hard for longer

00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:42.640
coming into here we have two custom modes where you can just change all

00:08:40.680 --> 00:08:47.920
types of things we also have launch control which we will see in a second

00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:53.360
this being a very silly car you're able to choose what type of a sound you want

00:08:50.640 --> 00:09:00.240
your fake engine to have so here it's kind of like a normal Hyundai 4cylinder

00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:02.920
in their end Vehicles evolution

00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:08.519
is more like a Strange Electric race car and Super

00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:11.920
Sonic is an even stranger electronic

00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:14.040
race car of sorts it is all very good

00:09:11.920 --> 00:09:19.399
fun but if you don't want it yeah there it is completely gone also in here the

00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:22.160
infotainment is just typical Hyundai Kia

00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:26.600
sort of stuff and very easy to use for the most part I am just slapping an

00:09:23.959 --> 00:09:31.399
Android auto we've got a nice big 12.3 in screen rate here and it all works

00:09:28.760 --> 00:09:35.120
great we also have not physical climate controls but they all stay in the same

00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:40.839
place so you can get used to it well enough and plenty of physical controls

00:09:37.560 --> 00:09:43.720
for volume tuning setup all that sort of

00:09:40.839 --> 00:09:49.440
stuff I have had no problems with just using this car overall it is excellent

00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:54.320
for just daily use if you want to be an absolute hooligan or just comfortable on

00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:58.959
your way to work oh Andy do you know I think the business team would really

00:09:55.880 --> 00:10:01.920
love if this is how we segue to our

00:09:58.959 --> 00:10:06.200
spawn answer drop thanks to drop for sponsoring this video their hex gaming

headphone hanger which can conveniently attach to the side of your desk get 20%

00:10:28.560 --> 00:10:35.560
off the drop Plus plus epos hex gaming headset today using the link down in the

00:10:32.560 --> 00:10:39.279
description all right let's go in here

00:10:35.560 --> 00:10:42.360
and launch control activate don't break

00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:46.880
man NE yeah foot on the brake foot on

00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:46.880
the gas oh

00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:56.279
my this thing has a 0 to 60 of 3 seconds

00:10:52.560 --> 00:11:00.639
and is able to accomplish that by having

00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:03.760
641 horsepower 4 six of which is

00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:06.920
directed just to the rear wheels let's

00:11:03.760 --> 00:11:12.560
just have a little taste of this orange

00:11:06.920 --> 00:11:15.279
NGB button and just oh my God I really

00:11:12.560 --> 00:11:20.959
like the sound of this thing it's like a Dremel or an electric toothbrush on

00:11:17.760 --> 00:11:24.560
steroids when you hit it like that's the

00:11:20.959 --> 00:11:29.360
actual sound of the electric motors it's

00:11:24.560 --> 00:11:31.279
just this thing is brutally fast it is

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:36.040
quite funny because when you don't have a whole lot of grip on the road that you

00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:40.360
in it feels a lot like a high power front-wheel drive car you kind of get

00:11:38.040 --> 00:11:46.399
torque steer and it's trying to steer you off into the ditch it is

00:11:42.800 --> 00:11:49.720
hilarious speaking of very funny let's

00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:53.079
just dip into the gears here this has a

00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:56.440
simulated 8-speed dual clutch so we can

00:11:53.079 --> 00:11:59.040
come in here and drop into second gear

00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:05.519
and go all the way down turn my cap around around and I am now a Honda

00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:08.959
driver I am driving my Honda excellently

00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:13.279
and this is exactly how you do

00:12:08.959 --> 00:12:17.680
it for real though this this a lot of

00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:21.880
fun it is shockingly convincing that you

00:12:17.680 --> 00:12:25.639
have an actual engine and exhaust and

00:12:21.880 --> 00:12:27.680
stuff like I know that it is not real

00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:33.839
but at the same time I don't particularly care like have you ever had

00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:38.120
fun in a racing game before it is a very

00:12:33.839 --> 00:12:40.760
similar thing to this and it is quite a

00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:40.760
bit of

00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:52.279
fun now of course is it as good as a

00:12:49.079 --> 00:12:56.720
real engine and

00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:59.639
exhaust no of course it isn't but it is

00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:04.160
absolutely comical and if you are done having fun like that you can just press

00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:08.760
this button and wow it just is completely silent in here one of my

00:13:06.880 --> 00:13:14.360
favorite things about this is that you can soften the dampers up it'll be just

00:13:11.959 --> 00:13:21.240
really nice comfortable for your drive to work and then you hit some corners

00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:25.279
and be like oh look at this it steers so

00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:30.720
well oh my God for an electric car the

00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:33.639
handling of this is shocking oh

00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:39.079
it is so much more fun than it deserves to be and it is so much more competent

00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:46.680
at being at being best at both of what it

00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:50.199
is able to do something like the poar 2

00:13:46.680 --> 00:13:53.079
is incredibly fast and Incredibly brutal

00:13:50.199 --> 00:13:58.759
and Incredibly competent in the corners but it's never able to just be an easy

00:13:55.920 --> 00:14:04.240
family Cruiser like we are in right now where this right here I feel like it

00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:07.560
knows that it is a great big electric

00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:12.279
SUV it has that sort of luxury feeling

00:14:07.560 --> 00:14:15.560
to it but it also is just so absolutely

00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:18.399
comical drifting the ti can was a whole

00:14:15.560 --> 00:14:22.519
lot of fun but you can't do that on normal roads that thing is so fast that

00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:27.680
you just immediately get impounded this is also brutally fast but with the gears

00:14:25.920 --> 00:14:33.759
and all of that stuff you can have fun on normal roads and like really toss it

00:14:30.880 --> 00:14:39.240
around I love it I love this thing it has so much personality once you're done

00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:44.839
listening to your simulated engine maybe you want to listen to some excellent

00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:46.959
music and this right here definitely has

00:14:44.839 --> 00:14:52.320
that in here we have the eight- speaker sound system from Bose and it sounds

00:14:49.880 --> 00:14:57.040
really freaking good we've got two speakers in the doors Two tweeters up

00:14:54.519 --> 00:15:01.600
there and a center channel you also have that sub in the back and two rear

00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:05.759
speakers which doesn't sound like a whole lot but it's not the number of

00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:11.639
speakers that counts it's what they can do and man this sounds excellent I

00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:16.639
measured it and it goes all the way down to 30 htz so you have plenty of base and

00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:25.320
even though it does look a bit exaggerated around 100 to 200 htz it

00:15:20.680 --> 00:15:25.320
sounds very clear and very

00:15:26.680 --> 00:15:32.440
good now of course if you want to be headbanged to your music instead of

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:37.839
looking at the road we have Hyundai's typical Suite of fantastic driver

00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:42.639
assistance we have our cruise control here which just works really well like

00:15:40.680 --> 00:15:46.839
everything else that they make it has excellent ability to just see something

00:15:44.199 --> 00:15:51.680
in front of you slow down stop I have plenty of confidence in it it also will

00:15:49.079 --> 00:15:56.800
have Lane centering which is pretty good but I personally prefer to just to drive

00:15:54.000 --> 00:16:01.240
my own cars and it's going to be safe it has the safety crap and if you don't

00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:05.319
want it you can just fully turn it off and you can run into the person in front

00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:11.360
of you on the racetrack if you so choose so overall this thing is just comical in

00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:15.800
ways I did not know an EV could be there's stuff like the tie can and the

00:16:13.199 --> 00:16:19.759
Lucid air which will scare you with their speed but do you know what you

00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:25.839
can't do in those have the hilarious little gearbox

00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:32.160
that won't let you keep on going even though the powertrain can just because

00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:35.399
it's funny this thing is such a great

00:16:32.160 --> 00:16:38.160
little machine and for 66 Grand US I

00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:43.399
think if you have the money just do it it's it's so freaking good like compared

00:16:41.160 --> 00:16:47.160
to a model wide performance the amount of fun that I have in this thing not to

00:16:45.319 --> 00:16:52.720
mention the fact that it's really a more comfortable ride when it wants to be

00:16:49.680 --> 00:16:54.319
this is the easiest pick ever for me I

00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:58.920
really wish we could take this thing on track it would be hilarious and I also

00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:03.079
wish I could take you to the end of this video wait I did huge thanks for

00:17:01.040 --> 00:17:06.760
