EV Channels Review

Doug DeMuro provides an in-depth look at the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5, highlighting its unique "pixel" design language evident in the lighting and interior accents. Key "quirks and features" include a magnetic dashboard pad, a bidirectional charge port that can power external devices, a steering wheel without a logo, a sliding center console with an integrated power outlet, and paddle shifters that control regenerative braking. The reviewer notes the spacious interior, attributed to a long wheelbase, and the comfortable, reclining driver's seat with an extendable footrest. While the reviewer cannot drive the vehicle, he praises its futuristic styling and innovative features, positioning it as a strong contender in the growing electric crossover market. The Ioniq 5 is expected to be competitively priced and will initially launch in select states.
