The Koreans are CRUSHING IT compared to the Japanese when it comes to innovation, with products that are interesting, rewarding, and desirable.

When you press the NGB button it's like a video game and it's so cool!!

[baobab-ji]

There are 8 exhaust speakers and 2 internal speakers, and it is possible to turn off the external and internal speakers separately, like a smartphone.

The real driving simulator on the road with "REAL PHYSICS" = 5 N !! amazing..

[Kampfgruppe]

The Ioniq 5N is the first car that embodies the essence of EV technology that can be produced by a major internal combustion engine manufacturer.

7:56 real EV mode. OMG.. so cool!! and It's scary to just hear the sound of the wind. It's like a cold, emotionless monster.

[RRobbin]

For a electric vehicle it looks quite fun

[lungdam-wm]

I thought fake sound was dumb but it sounds good....

[OnkelRobinjo]

6:22 I was skeptical at first, but man these ''shifts'' look crispy and jerky. Which is amazing.

[M-TRON]

The only place on 🌎 I could see and hear the car's performance on track, POV style, without all that simulated sound/torque limiting/ICE torque curve simulation and gear change jolt simulation BS (like eating a soya sausage)..
Thank you, WRM!

[MrBacchus]

Thanks Gran Turismo, Laguna Seca is so familiar to me thanks to you

[BlackBirdNooB]

loool Fake ICE sound for a eletric car XD, but nice car after all

[JoshuaGalka]

Whoa, You can shift through the gears manually?! 😲😲😲

[baobab-ji]

If you put 100 percent power to the rear wheel, it's 400 horsepower. 50:50 or 40:50 is best, so you can use all 600 horsepower.

[OnkelRobinjo]

It actually doesn't sound any worse than most new real ICE cars. Imagine if they perfect this technology. Eventually you can have authentic 70s V8 muscle car sounds, that you can hear from the inside and outside. At that point you might as well buy an EV.

[XLL]

The temperature seems so high. Is it in Fahrenheit?

[SanchezMusics]

è anche comodissimo se ti trovi di notte tardi in luoghi dove non puoi fare rumore, spegli il sistema sound e vai... 🤣🤷‍♂

[ripmax]

@6:50 Wow Forza Motorsport have some pretty impressive graphics, but they lack in the sound department ;-P

[aspecreviews]

Does the automatic mode for N ActiveSound+ recognize your driving style and shift like a real automatic, or does it only upshift at redline and downshift as early as possible?

[kotarojujo]

Gear simulation is simultaneously fake and natural at the same time lol
