The Best EV In 2022 Is A Hyundai | 2022 IONIQ 5 Review

Whether you get the model with 300 miles of range or the model with 320 horsepower, or even the unexpected paired back base model, the IONIQ 5 is impressive and unexpectedly unique. It looks like a giant Golf hatchback (which I think is an asset personally), rides like a luxury crossover, charges in 18 minutes at (CCS from 10-80%) and is priced below the key competition. What's not to love? For me, just the odd placement of the subwoofer in the trunk.

My sister just bought one of these yesterday... stopped by to show me on the way home. She's on the road a lot for her job, so it's definitely going to get a workout. She's still just learning how everything works, but so far she really digs it.

The center console slides in the Limited, so it might give rear seat passengers more room.

That center console slides, so when fully forward it doesn't protrude into rear passenger's space.

An EV that cares more about space and comfort than speed and aerodynamics. Yet it has one of the fastest charging speed and significant range.

dropping the review the literal minute the embargo ends. Thank you Alex!!!

America needed an EV crossover "thing" that rides comfortably. Teslas without air suspension are bouncy, as are the Mustang Mach-e and Polestar 2. I'd love to test drive this car. I sat in one at the LA auto show, and I really liked the interior. Feels very spacious and modern.

Is it 1:40am? Yes. Do I have to get up early? Yes. Did Alex just drop a new car review video? Yes. Am I now staying up? Yes.

The mid console is sliding about 5, 5 inches depends where you want to have it so it gives rear passages more space, in your case is slid
all the way back 🧐

The four dots on the steering wheel is morse code for H.

Great review as always Alex! Although it pains me to see you not notice that the front console slides forward and backwards….other than the fast charging, I think that was one of Hyundais biggest marketing points for this vehicle.

Thank God. I was waiting on this very embargo to lift! Can't wait to buy an Ioniq 5 SEL

So thorough. Your detailed reviews are really appreciated. I can't wait to see how the EV6 stacks up.

[Pikminiman]

Out of those three EVs, I'd choose the Ioniq 5 every time.

[Skobiekanobie]

This thing looks awesome. Best looking ev on the market imo

[Mguy]

Bummer that the drawer style glove box was nixed for the US market

[SteveBirkett]

Thanks Alex. Re. the rear center leg space, the center console should be able to slide forward to free up rear space, right? Perhaps only on some trims, but this appears to be the top trim with pano roof and should have the sliding console.

[tokepanduro]

you can move the center console back and forward.

Ordered the 77 kWh AWD fully loaded. My only gripes are the long waiting list (semiconductor shortage) and the lack of a rear wiper.

[bowsicraft]

Anyone wondering about the 4 little squares on the steering wheel. That's actually Morse code for H, H for Hyundai. Pretty cool stuff!

[JacobyDannford]

I really like that this has a heat pump… that’s one of the reasons I leaned toward Tesla EVs. So excited for more EV competition!
