2024 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 N DRIVEN, VFACTS & TOYOTA FJ CRUISER RETURNING? | THE CAREXPERT PODCAST

EV Channels Review

The CarExpert Podcast team discusses the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, highlighting its significant performance leap and enthusiast-focused features. James Wong, who drove the vehicle on both road and track, emphasizes its dual nature as both a usable daily driver and a capable track machine. He notes the impressive power output, particularly with the 'N Boost' function, and praises the immersive driving experience created by the tunable engine noises, fake gear shifts, and drift modes, which successfully make the driver forget it's an EV. While acknowledging its substantial $111,000 price tag and 2.1-ton weight, the consensus is that the Ioniq 5 N offers a unique and exhilarating experience, positioning it as a true enthusiast's electric car that stands out even against competitors like the Kia EV6 GT and Tesla Model 3 Performance.
