HYUNDAI IONIQ 5: OUR NEW EV!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer expresses immense excitement and satisfaction with the new Hyundai IONIQ 5 "Project 45" edition, calling it "stunning" and "special." Key highlights include its unique "digital teal green" paint, spacious and reclinable interior with a flat floor, and advanced features like the head-up display and vehicle-to-load capability. The "Project 45" trim specifically adds a two-year Ionity charging subscription and a solar roof. While praising the luxurious feel, comparing it favorably to a Model S, the reviewer notes its considerable size, which might be larger than expected. Initial efficiency is poor (2.2 miles/kWh), attributed to short driving distances and potentially the car's size and AWD. The reviewer is particularly impressed with Hyundai's VIP customer service throughout the ordering process. The acceleration in Sport mode is described as surprisingly potent, though the reviewer admits to being a "wimp" with fast cars. A significant drawback mentioned is the lack of a rear wiper and the presence of touch-sensitive climate controls, which the reviewer dislikes. The ultimate verdict hinges on the wife's opinion, which will be revealed in a future video.
