This is a Motormouth couple car review of the 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5 electric utility.We decided to take it for a week since we only got to drive it for one day in San Diego. We’ll do another review on it, “Living with the IONIQ 5 for a week.” The entry-level standard range comes with a smaller 58 kWh battery and RWD only. It has 168 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque with 354 km/220 miles of EV range. The RWD Long Range model with the larger 77.4 kWh battery has 225 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, it offers the most range at 488 km/303 miles. The AWD Long Range model has the most power, 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque and gets 414 km/256 miles of EV range. The IONIQ 5 offers four different driving modes, Eco, Normal, Sport and Snow and provides performance without compromise. It has a smooth and nimble ride with a quiet cabin. It comes with paddle shifters to control the regenerative braking with four levels to choose from. This EV has an eco-friendly interior and a smart living theme with integrated digital tech and flexible spaces to create an expansive and open interior. Sustainable materials are used throughout the cabin like recycled plastic bottles. The IONIQ 5 comes standard with dual 12.3” displays, Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a power driver’s seat, a manual passenger seat, black-cloth upholstery and heated front seats. The top trim comes with all the extra features, like ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a head-up display, an 8-speaker Bose Sound system, wireless charger, a power passenger seat and a leatherette interior. The IONIQ 5 offers a ground clearance of 6.1”, less than the ID.4 at 6.7” and the Model Y at 6.6” but more than the Mustang Mach-E at 5.7”. The IONIQ 5 RWD SR starts at $44,999 CAD/$39,700 USD, AWD LR $54,999 CAD/$47,150 USD and the top trim is $59,999 CAD/$54,500 USD.

I know it is a personal choice and perspective but I do think the IONIQ is quite handsome and one of the best looking EVs out there...

We’ve had the Ioniq 5 SE AWD for three weeks. I think we like it more now than the day we bought it. There are some things like the lack of a rear wiper/seat warmer button and funky door handles that I questioned. In actual use I am not finding those much of an issue.
We do have a garage (not heated) which already had a 240V outlet for a level 2 charger. Home charging costs us $3.50 for 256 miles of range. A recent 130 mile round trip in temperatures ranging from 29F to 48F saw an average of 4.3 miles/kWH when driving in ECO mode at 60-65 mph.
We initially wanted a PHEV like the RAV4 Prime but couldn’t find anything available. The I5 was unexpectedly available at our local dealer. Living in Colorado we have up to $10k in tax credits available.

I'd take this over the EV6, love it's style, kinda retro futurist and conservative at the same time

We've had an I5 Limited for a month. Love it. NOTE: The short cut to the heated/cooled seats and steering wheel heat is the WARMER button in the climate control panel. One push and your screen pops up. No, not as convenient as buttons but not too bad. My son has an EV6 and yes, it's direct buttons are better.

I think this is an awesome looking car. Extremely unique.

[danielchoi]

Got one my wife, AWD SE, extremely awesome EV.

[berthogendoorn]

just hit the warmer button on the climate control bar under the volume, the screen will show heated cooler seats and steering wheel heat options, and I believe if you hit it again it might jump back to your earlier screen.

Definitely my favorite car reviewer.Two honest, wether positive or negative opinions on many different vehicles types.With different typeof driving conditions (southern tip of Louisiana resident) Thanks for keeping it real from one motor head to another.

The Deloitte study was interesting - if one looks at the US, the main category that was skewing the results for gas vehicles were people over 55. The people under 40 were really interested in EVs

[issiedora]

I like these two, very refreshing. Identify with realstic practical and conceptual mix of information.

oh by the way, I love those moments when Zack hears Andrea talking about needing new things... heated garage??? Zack's face is priceless. Dollar signs!!

[kellingtonlink]

This was one of your best videos. Especially, for an electric vehicle like this, where a little more time benefits of digesting your impressions. Thanks for another electrifying video.

Hyundai is killing it .... this car looks awesome. A guy in the US did a test by wetting the door handle with a spray bottle and let it freeze. The door won't open.
I bought the Santa Fe UC and loving every minute of it. You guys do a professional and comprehensive review and look good doing it. 😀Cheers.

My brother has a four car garage that is climate control ..

He did that mainly for his dogs when it either gets too cold or warm for them ..

But since he is also a "shop nerd, " I think he equally did it for himself ..

[dolphinsmadden]

I love how you guys always keep it real. I think EV‘s are just so expensive right now, especially after the dealer mark ups. It’s probably best to wait a couple years anyways.

[regwilson]

Love the test of the IONIQ5 and nice looking. Andrea does a great job with the fashion game. I agree with Andrea get a EV and have a heated garage to keep it in.

[ivnK]

You can quickly access the heated seat controls by clicking the WARMER button (physical button) below the screen and it will bring up the menu. Not too bad.

[PGDable]

I think the best door handle on both ICE cars and EVs is not really a handle. The VW ID4 has the best idea. It is a hidden button under the area to pull with your fingers. It is easy to use, right or left handed and for everyone in the cold weather areas, it's NOT affected by ice! Perfect.

I've had a different experience with my Ioniq 5 where people often come and ask me about the car in parking lots.

[andrewwinger]

Yes, you guys need an EV. I just picked up a Tesla model Y performance on the weekend. Wow is it fast. Love the acceleration. Looking at getting a second EV. I like the Ioniq 5, EV6 and Genesis EV60.
