HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 EV - FULL LAUNCH, PRICE & SPECIFICATION DETAILS

EV Channels Review

John Cadogan provides a comprehensive overview of the Hyundai IONIQ 5, highlighting its ground-up EV design as a significant advantage over conversions of existing platforms. He praises the spacious interior, enabled by the lack of a transmission tunnel, and the car's dynamic potential. The reviewer strongly recommends the all-wheel-drive version over the rear-wheel-drive, despite a slight range reduction, citing the performance benefits as a 'no-brainer'. He notes the impressive charging speeds, capable of adding 100km of range in just five minutes with a 350kW charger. However, Cadogan expresses disappointment with the limited allocation of 400 units for Australia in 2021 and criticizes the government's lack of emissions policy. He also finds some of Hyundai's marketing and naming conventions confusing. Despite these criticisms, he concludes that the IONIQ 5 is an impressive vehicle that could challenge Tesla's dominance.
