BEST NON-TESLA EV! 2022 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5 Ultimate AWD is lauded for its striking, futuristic design, earning it "design of the year" accolades. Reviewers praise its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and impressive acceleration, particularly in sport mode. The vehicle's 800-volt architecture enables rapid charging, and features like V2L capability and a well-laid-out digital cockpit are highlighted as significant advantages. However, criticisms include uncomfortable seats for some, a lack of a rear wiper, and the capacitive touch climate controls requiring too much concentration. The reviewer also notes issues with the highway driving assist system's shimmying and expresses frustration with the non-Tesla charging infrastructure in Canada. Despite these drawbacks, the IONIQ 5 is considered a strong contender, with the reviewer even considering purchasing one for family use, though ultimately sticking with their current vehicle due to seat comfort and minor annoyances.
