USED EV TEST - 2022 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 PREMIUM FOR £20,000. DOES IT MAKE SENSE?

EV Channels Review

The reviewer finds the used 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Premium, purchased for £20,000, to be a compelling proposition. The distinctive styling, comfortable interior with ample space, and a smooth, quiet driving experience are highlighted as major positives. The reviewer particularly appreciates the cloth seats, the practical 'filing cabinet' glove box, and the adjustable rear seats that significantly expand boot space. The one-pedal driving mode and the overall refinement are praised, offering a relaxing and enjoyable journey, even in traffic. However, minor annoyances include the need to re-select one-pedal mode and disable lane departure assist after each restart. The lack of a rear wiper on this pre-facelift model is also noted as a drawback, though the reviewer acknowledges the facelift version addresses this. Despite these points, the reviewer concludes that the Ioniq 5 is a "lovely way to travel" and a "big fan," making it a highly recommended used EV.
