MUSTANG V M5 V IONIQ 5 N PERFORMANCE POWERTRAIN SHOOTOUT 2025

EV Channels Review

This video pits three distinct performance vehicles against each other: the 7th generation Ford Mustang GT (V8, RWD, manual), the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N (all-electric, AWD), and the 7th generation BMW M5 (plug-in hybrid, AWD). The reviewer highlights the Mustang's modernized dynamics and the appeal of its V8 sound and manual gearbox, calling it potentially the best Mustang ever despite a 0-100 km/h time of 5.3 seconds. The Ioniq 5 N impresses with its rapid acceleration (0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds), grip, and surprisingly effective simulated combustion engine sounds and gear shifts, offering a brilliant digital driving experience. The BMW M5, despite a significant weight increase over its predecessor, is lauded for its incredible agility, all-wheel-drive traction, and ability to devour kilometers in comfort, offering a blend of performance and silent electric commuting. While all three are deemed brilliant, the M5 is the reviewer's subjective pick for its epic quickness, unexpected agility, and the added dimension of electric-only daily driving.
