That opening transition animation was fantastic

Hyundai has completely changed their reputation for me in the past couple years. They went from something I would never think twice about to a company making cool affordable sports cars and the the ioniq 5 is so cool

I worked as a research analyst in the EV space for a couple of years, this and the EV6 by kia are both going to be EXTREMELY successful, and hyundia-kia's future EV projects as well. They know what's up

I've had mine since February and it continues to impress me. First Hyundai ever and really impressed by build quality, ride and handling, and commitment to the EV cause on behalf of the brand - and I love the fact that it looks like a cross between the Audi S1 and a Lancia Delta.

That was the coolest intro I’ve ever seen from this channel. I love your teams’ commitment to improving the quality of your content.

I gotta disagree that Hyundais change in reputation started with this, in the last 20 years theyve brought on Peter Schreyer, ex head of design at Audi, and Albert Biermann from BMW M division to head the Hyundai N performance division, and for the last few years theyve made some of the best cheap performance cars in the Veloster N and now the Elantra N, along with some of the best bang for your buck luxury cars ever made with Genesis. I agree with basically everything you said about this car, its great, but its definitely not the thing that made Hyundai great out of the blue, they've been building towards this for years now.

I like the design of this EV. It looks fresh and futuristic. Especially pixels lights

I love all the detail the editors pay attention to for these videos, the intro was great, the fade-ins on point and the partially frozen background (at least I assume so) helped keep the focus on Marques, just great production quality!

While having a great in-car map would be fantastic, I think that Google and Apple Maps need to prepare for EVs. If they are not easy to use with the type of vehicle that is going to take an exponentially larger share of the market, then they are going to be left behind. (I don't think they will be left behind, I think they will adapt eventually, but it should be sooner than later)

It's really cute, funky, and a mixture of futuristic and retro. Such a unique looking EV!

I went to the LA Auto Show a week or so ago and got to ride around in this inside. To me, this is a modern interpretation of what someone from 1986 might've thought an electric car would look like. I love it's stylish. It's very large inside and it's a very practical size.

This was my recommended car for one of my friends. He bought it some moth ago and he really loves it. Perfect small family EV. Backseats can be reclined, sweet charging animation and a blindspot camera while pulling over to just name a few. Pretty neat car in my opinion

That opening could be taught in film schools. Then I realized where it was filmed and am now in awe of how you managed to make the area I used to drive in so much look so cinematic. Amazing job!

Hyundai's been steadily increasing their reputation these past few years anyway, i wouldn't say it's as meh as you make it to be. Their i30 N, for example, is fantastic.

That opening transition was absolutely amazing. I loved the whole video but that moment was an absolute highlight.

I totally agree with you about the Hyundai ioniq 5 EV. In fact, I went to a Hyundai dealership to put my name on the waiting list. Currently, I have a Subaru Solterra EV on order since February and no vehicle in sight. This is due to the recall back in June and still no remedy. Today is September 26. I’ve done a lot of research on the Hyundai ioniq 5 and all the reports have been positive. One of my neighbors have one and they love it!! I’m about to cancel my Subaru order. I remember back in the 1990’s Hyundai to many people said it was a disposable vehicle meaning it was cheap and it didn’t last long. Hyundai has made long strides and it’s paying off. They have one of the best warranties in the industry with a 5 year-60000 mile limited warranty. Most if the auto manufacturers offer 3 year-36000 miles.

Ioniq 5 owner in the UK..had the car since November 2021 and its my first EV. I can honestly say this car is a game changer. I am a petrol head and I love the sound of a screaming V10 any day but for the tranquility and ease of day to day life I cannot recommend this car highly enough. Accurate range and concept car looks 👍

I bought this exact model in April. Driving has changed for me and I absolutely love this car. I use navigation and for me it's honestly fine. The self driving capabilities need some updates for non highway use. But it's an absolute unit of a car and I am still in love with it. :)

The Kia Soul EV was really hitting that decent range, decent package, decent price point when Kia killed it in the US due to chip shortages, and focused instead on the higher price point EV6. I mean, that's fair, but it was also a shot in the foot in terms of getting EVs in the hands of of people like me. And I really want an EV.

Got 2023 limited awd long range. Love it love it love it. Hyundai has been killing it for almost a decade.

8:05 I think this assessment of Hyundai in the last 3-5 years is from someone that doesn't particularly stay in tune with the automotive space. Hyundai has been gaining market share and overall positive brand awareness for really the last 5-7 years but especially within the last 3 years. Their talent acquisition and products have been on the rise for many years now and it has shown in sales. The Ioniq 5 was just one of the more recent accomplishments but the Ioniq 5 was not the sole reason for a change in Hyundai.

Hyundai has been making an EV for a long time, the IONIQ. They were some of the first legacy automakers to have a really good EV with the IONIQ (not IONIQ 5)

Excellent video - very professional and (as a business prof) I especially appreciate your take on rebranding. Great job!

Thanks for all your hard work it really shows keep it up!

I am so impressed with the quality of video you produce, even being outside in a park the audio sounds as crisp as a studio

Been watching this dude since highschool. Mad respect how he ups the quality of his vids all the time and I look up to him as a tech enthusiast ✊🏿

I was a passenger on the ioniq when i visited it at NY autoshow this year and i agree every bit of what he says. It's a great car i would also recommend as along as they don't use boold batteries.

Just saw an ioniq 5 earlier today, looking forward to the ioniq 6 coming out. I've had my 2021 elantra for a little over a year now and I am very pleased with it, great sound system, saftey features, exterior design and trunk space. The one nitpick that I have with it is the over use of glossy black plastic on the interior.

Glad you got to try it and enjoyed it! Don't forget, though, Hyundai has been quietly dipping their toes in electrified and electric cars for a few years now, kind of an alpha test before the full pure electric-only Ioniq 5 (and 6 and 7 etc.). I owned the immediate precursor to this, the Ioniq Electric (there was also the Ioniq Hybrid which is more common in the US, as well as the Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid), and it was also really well-made, though certainly a previous generation (or "alpha version") electric car. There was also the Kona electric, so Hyundai certainly had a few models to practice with.

I saw one of these on the road, and I couldn’t stop thinking about how this is the coolest looking car ever. Amazing.

I have a non hybrid Sonata. And I chose it after test driving all the competitors. Accord, Camry, Altima, Passat, Acura ILX, Malibu and Mazda 6. Initially, Hyundai wasn't even an option for me. I decided to test drive just because a showroom was across the street from the Mazda dealership I was visiting. I am so glad that I took a test drive in a 2021 Sonata. I love the design and tech. Hyundai is not the same company as it was just a few years ago. It is as good as major Asian and some European manufacturers, if not better than a few of them.

These are cool! I live in a small rural town in Canada and I've seen someone driving one of these around a few times I think the look really good and unique the headlights are so cool would have been cool if the did an N performance Electric version

On the topic of Hyundai's reputation, there's the Hyundai Veloster N which is basically a sporty hot hatch that got a lot of people in the car tuning world thinking "dang, hyundai can make a sick performance car." guess they're doing the same thing with their electric cars now too.

Kia and Hyundai are crushing it, excellent business moves and execution!

im glad you came around to the ioniq5, I don't own either however I have driven both and I prefer the ioniq5 over the model 3 or y in looks ,ride and style I still give charging infrastructure and quickness to Tesla but that's it , glad to see an unbiased review from someone who is not a Tesla fan boy, you may love Tesla but you can be fair to others great review

I have one. 2023 limited AWD. Love it. The only issue I see is the lack of green incentives in the US especially where I live in North Carolina.

outside of the US bubble, for the past 10 years, since the huge shift in design, hyundai is the "best value" choice in segments like golf (i30) and small cross over (kona). that has carried over to electric and the 5 looks amazing

Hyundai and Kia are just top of the EV game right now

I think the one can feature you did not mention here is 110 V outlets. This is huge to me, I can charge or use any appliance normally, I could go camping and use an electric stove if I wanted to. This is something that should just be standard in all electric vehicles and the only other vehicles that have this are the pickuptrucks so far, Good on hyundai for including this.

This dude came so far from when I first seen his UKposts videos . Shows hard work pays off and consistency 👍🏼

Hyundai also usually has a lot of tech for their price point. I got a Sonata Hybrid and love all the features it has

Yes to that Intro!

Waze can do charge planing btw and its great replacement for the built in nav

Highest quality content I've seen on youtube. Good job man!

CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW RIVIAN!

Can we appreciate how good this intro is, its literally on another level

That opening transition during the intro just made my life a few million times happier than it already is.

The exterior design is iconic, giving me the feeling of the future, but if the cockpit screen had the design and function match the appearance, it would be a competitive car in anywhere.

Bought one last month and I can say Hyundai has come a long way in the last few years.

I bought a Hyundai 2018 and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. The amount of features and quality of life features the car has. I love it and it was so affordable. I’m excited to see the new normal of electric cars

I found this car when I was looking for a car my son could be comfortable in with his height. At 6'4" looks like 6'7"+ when he's done growing. This car appears to have better leg room in the front combined with good views for more comfortable driving.

I like that I can spot where in Jersey they are doing the test drives, a local car review channel 🤙🏽

That intro!! 🔥🔥🔥 I need to know how long it took to edit it was so clean! Props to the team!

1:10 No sir, eventually we need to stray away from car culture. That is the best course of action. Adam Something and Alan Fisher have taught me well on the topic.

Good video and smart thinking for your future. EV’s are the future. You’re the standard when it comes to reviewing tech. Put tech and a car together that needs to be reviewed. Good for yoy

The ambient lighting in the doors between the armrest panels & the speakers looks amazing if you see them in the Hyundai USA walk-around video of the Ioniq 5

We've had one of these since spring and it has been amazing so far, everytime I get in it still feels so cool

I have had the car for 6 months, and I am very satisfied. I have the option with the solar panel on the roof, and it gives me a few more kilometers per day. It may be symbolic, but I feel like we're on the googleo way.

Its been 10 months with my Ioniq 5 and i could not be more happy. Everything works exactlly how its suposed.

Can't wait to have this car in our country. Am grateful for this review. Well, am looking forward for more update or reviews of other cars

We got ours back in July and haven't been happier, you nailed the feeling of driving one, perfectly in this video. I highly recommend anyone looking into this or the EV6. As always, great video MKB. Keep up the great work!

bro that intro, amazing job from your team it warms my heart seeing how far youve come

I got the Kia EV6. Similar features as they are sister companies. Great EV so far! Excited for the future of EVs!

This intro. Can't get over it 🔥🔥

Yooooo that intro 🔥

Yep I had my ioniq 5 for almost 6 months..no regrets..beautiful design and good range..n cool ambient lighting

I appreciated the little bit of sound design on the list, awesome stuff 👌🏼

Really great video! I love how you focus on the most important bits, and call out the things that work well & others that need fixed. Would really love to see you tackle the Chevy Bolt, as it's about the cheapest EV option right now, which I'm guessing comes with a lot of caveats.

I bought one of these and have been seriously impressed with it. Allegedly they are updating the UI to do State of Charging route planning.

I like how you define the review as "this moment in time." You clearly understand technology and how it's about how good that is in that snap shot in history. Tech more often than not, is obsolete a couple of years down the road.

We have 2 EVs, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the KIA eNiro, both from the same automotive group and they rock! The KIA eNiro is better value for an EV, but super happy with both. Hyundai is providing such good value for their EVs, they are amazing. We just finished a 1500 mile vacation with the Ioniq 5 and it performed really well My main challenge is that the dealers and the support network havent quite caught on. Getting knowledge support from dealers is a struggle

This is my favorite EV and when I first seen the design I instantly loved it. I see them a lot here in Southern California. I will agree that the interior is the weakest point. I wish they let you get a black infotainment system or at least reduce the amount of bezel. And all new EVs need to support the fast charging that Hyundai/Kia support.

One of the best car commercial introductions I have seen - nice filming, editing, and great music 👍

i don't understand how u make so stupidly good videos like this regularly!! much appreciated 👍

The best part for me is that you don't feel claustrophobic while driving. Many SUVs feel like you will get stuck in case of an emergency. The central console are way too big these days, no way to move your legs around if you are tall.

The two things we need for EVs to finally reach mainstream acceptance are sub-$30k vehicles and doubling the number of charging stations available (and make sure they all work)

I saw this car parked a few weeks ago and It immediately caught my attention, just like you said the great design made me want to consider Hyundai as an option I didn’t have before.

I am OBSESSED with the taillights on this thing! SO cool.

Great vid. Just a suggestion, can you include metric (km) in range chats for all the countries outside the US watching? Thanks 🙂

I have one of these in the RWD format with the slick factory matte paint. Amazing range (~500km per charge for me), razor sharp design, unreal charging speed, and I'm 6'5" and the interior space and legroom is brilliant. I've used it on multiple long (1,000 km+) trips in the boonies and mountains of Canada with no regrets. Even did a comparison on a relatively long (900 km) trip and it saved me more than 60% of fuel costs while only adding approximately 40 minutes to my trip time. My only real complaint is that I wish the sound system was better. My other car is an older Lexus with a Mark Levinson and it smokes the IONIQ's sound system. Other than that, I've had it since December 2021 and it has been breaking necks everywhere I go since. Don't buy this car if you don't want to talk to people because people will come running over to talk to you about it.

I have this car and absolutely love it!!! You hit the nail on the head with this one, I definitely won’t ever switch back to a gas combustion car

My better half had an 08 Santa Fe that she drove all over the country and finally traded it in for 22 Santa Fe best warranty in the market stands behind there product and excellent features really great vehicle and has been for a long time.

6:22 the way that red van keeps driving so close to the wall is giving me major anxiety 🫣

Tbh this is my dream car. I really like the design, and I especially love the features it has

Production quality on this video was top notch, love to see you putting this level of effort in, (clear that not all videos can get this treatment right now)

The lease to my Model 3 was up and I couldn't buy it out. We have another Model 3 in the family, I didn't want to spend $15,000 to get Auto Pilot and we needed something with more room for carrying crap. I received my Ioniq 5 two weeks ago and I love it. In fact it's the same color/trim as the one in your video.

Great video as always! The only thing I have to point out is that it's not a crossover, it's a (big) hatchback

In google maps you can add what type of electric plugs your vehicle accepts and when you search for charge stations it’ll show just then the compatible stations. So from there just plan for stops just like any other car.

I just bought this car! Same color and spec just black interior. Loving it so far.

Hyundai has changed a lot more than just their electric lineup completely transforming their gas lineup as well with redesigns and new models across the board

Pretty new to this channel, I like this guy and how he articulates things.

I picked up a top spec Bolt EUV, less than $40k before trade, non-beta highway hands free driving included. It may not be AWD but I love it, great car for the money. My main issue with the ioniq 5 was that they locked too many features to the highest trim level.

The intros on these videos are sooo fricking amazing!!! Can't believe how much work they put into them.

Pulaski Skyway FTW! Surprised you didn't run into traffic on that long bridge. I ALWAYS hit traffic on that thing LOL Looking forward to seeing a bunch of new, affordable electric cars. It honestly is an inevitable shift in the auto world. Let's hope we can get a good charging station network across the country...

Crazy how almost all of these car companies that have been manufacturing cars for this long and most STILL can’t make a solid Map Navigation. Really shows how ahead Apple was in making navigation so clean and easy

I reviewed one of these a few months ago, i must say i was impressed and they put a-lot of thought into the design with all of the pixel placement

Intro, graphics and transitions MKBHD your team is insane.

Kudos to your editor. That intro was worth watching multiple times

Still patiently waiting for this to go sub 25k. 28 is the lowest price local to me right now! I test drove it a few times, dual motor version, but I'd be happy with single motor and I *loved* it so much. Spacious, futuristic without any fluff extras. Really nice car to drive

I've seen a lot of these in my city aswell I really like the design, seems like one of the best looking ev's so far
