HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 N VS BMW M340I - SHOULD I HAVE GONE EV?!

EV Channels Review

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is put head-to-head with the BMW M340i, exploring whether the reviewer should have opted for the EV. The Ioniq 5 N impresses with its track performance, achieving a faster lap time than the M340i despite its weight, thanks to its adaptive chassis, strong brakes, and engaging driving modes like 'N Pedalon' and 'e-shift'. While the M340i offers a more linear power delivery and a more luxurious interior, the Ioniq 5 N provides a unique split personality, seamlessly transitioning from blistering track performance to a quiet, smooth daily driver. The reviewer highlights the Ioniq 5 N's comfortable seats, surprisingly good daily drivability, and unique styling, though notes the color options are not ideal. Interior luxury and certain features like manual seats and lack of a panoramic roof are minor drawbacks compared to the BMW. Ultimately, the reviewer is deeply impressed with the Ioniq 5 N, even considering it as a future purchase, praising its driving dynamics and potential for customizable sound experiences.
