HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 POV DRIVE AUSTRALIA | PART 2 MY WEEK WITH 2021 IONIQ 5

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive POV drive experience of the 2021 Hyundai Ioniq 5 in Australia, focusing on urban and highway driving. The reviewer highlights the effectiveness of the 'i-Pedal' one-pedal driving system, noting it's stronger than Tesla's Model 3 equivalent. Positive aspects include the useful blind-spot camera integration, the smooth and comfortable ride quality, and the responsive touchscreen interface, which is praised for its clarity and near-Tesla parity. The reviewer also appreciates the tactile buttons for various controls, contrasting it with Tesla's minimalist approach. However, minor criticisms include a slight lag in the accelerator response and the auto-steer system lacking an audible cue when engaging or disengaging, which is deemed a potential safety concern. The reviewer concludes that Hyundai has significantly improved its offerings with the Ioniq 5, marking it as a game-changer in the EV market.
