Nowy Hyundai Ioniq 5 – The Late Brake Show test [video]

The YouTube channel Late Brake Show had the opportunity to conduct a small test of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 in top-end configuration and gray-blue color. It turned out that only this limited edition will receive a Solar Roof with a total power of 0,21 kW, capable of recharging the battery in good weather. Or a battery.

Here are the highlights from the video:

Hyundai Ioniq 5 - impressions after the first contact and a little drive

The beginning of the film is a long story about the technical parameters of the car: E-GMP platform, wheelbase 3 meters, flat floor, retractable armrest (in Poland as an option), two displays behind the wheel, the rear seat is higher than the front, the front seats move into the "rest" position during charging - the latter, of course, on request.

Revealed what admired our readers: The Hyundai Ioniq 5 does not have a rear wiper. According to the manufacturer, the air flow is formed in such a way that it blows droplets off the glass. We, in turn, indicated that there was another electrician in the car, whose roofline was widened by a rear spoiler with a hole in the middle.

Youtuber noticed that the Ioniqu 5 is slightly taller than usual, but the car is a slightly puffy oversized hatchback. So, we are actually dealing with a crossover. A crossover that combines retro styling reminiscent of the Lancia Delta Integrale with modernity.

Conclusions and conclusions

The cabin is quiet, the cabin is clean and tidy. The suspension isn't rigid, but the car doesn't wobble a lot, probably due to the long wheelbase and the placement of the wheels near the corners of the body. According to YouTuber, the Ioniq 5 is well made and will provide us with low power consumption. During the trip recorded on video, there was 4,4 mile for every 1 kWh of energy, which is the equivalent of 14,1 kWh / 100 km (141,2 Wh / km). But these are primarily country roads with restrictions:

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is finally getting a long warranty. All of these functions are designed to South Korean cars become one of the best electricians. Only Tesla advantage there must be a charging infrastructure that guarantees real power above 100 kW at low electricity tariffs.

Lack of Hyundai electric car it has to be its width (1,89 metres), which made it difficult for drivers on the narrow and winding British roads. For comparison: Tesla Model 3 - 1,85 meters, Mercedes EQC - 1,88 meters, BMW iX3 - 1,89 meters. The proportions of the electric Hyundai are a little confusing, it seems that we are looking at a compact, but for now we are looking at a car that takes up as much space on the road as an SUV:

Finally, an interesting observation: At the moment, the most interesting cars on the road in terms of design are electrics.... And there is something about that, combustion models today are outdated, boring, battered from impact.

The model visible on the record is the fastest and most equipped variant of the Hyundai Ioniq 5. In Poland it will cost around PLN 270, maybe a little more.
