Absolutely great point at the start. Sick of these one week previewers looking at the top priced model of an EV only and not leading with range and affordability first. I don't care about 0 to 100km! I care about can we afford this to stick it to oil barons in the middle of a cost of living crisis.
I loved riding in an ioniq 5 this year, if I were to get any model away from a Model Y I'd go Hyundai ioniq 5 or ev6 if they were cheaper.

[stevenlee]

Having tested both MY and I5, the I5 is so much refined in the NVH department.

[johnlambert]

I agree with others here - $75k is NOT a car most people can afford. Until these "entry level" EVs are priced between $35k and $50k, you won't find a lot of people buying They are still a bit of a novelty here in Australia and not practical enough for the majority, BUT we are slowly progressing.

[anonanon]

You lost me when "entry level" model is announced at $75k.

[deanpatty]

Most important in my view is how fast it can charge then range. If I had one I wouldn't want to spend a long time charging often. How quick is lower on the list.

[clementineisaacson]

I test drove today and agree it is an excellent car and very comfortable and easy drive. My only wish is that the seats are not white. I really need dark seats but do not want a dark bodied car, no black, white or dark grey.

[gregj]

looks so much better with normal door mirrors....

[blockhead]

I would wait a few years before buying one to let the dealer network come up to speed on maintaining them.

I’ve had my two month old ioniq in at a dealer for a warranty issue for almost a month now with still no sign of getting it back anytime soon.

I expressed concern to Hyundai head office before dropping it off about the dealers ability to fix it and they told me that they were a blue star highly trained EV dealer.

Shame because the car seemed pretty good but if it’s a month plus whenever something goes wrong why would you buy it?

[markscott]

I completely agree with all other comments. This should not be considered a base model with its staggering high price for a Mazda 3 sized hatchback. Only Hyundai should dare to use that term. Others should just call it overpriced.

[Nae]

These are wonderful to be a passenger in. They use the in Jakarta as premium taxis.

[ashishdey]

What are additional features besides enhancement of power

[stevec]

Couldn’t agree more that performance shouldn’t be the most important aspect of an EV. Range, comfort and driveability are far more important. Plus this thing will still outperform many ICE cars anyway so it’s got more than enough performance. Now if we can just get the price down . . . .

[MatthewBayard]

Can you charge to 100% daily? Otherwise the stated range should be lower.

[johnmckay]

I just don't know who would pay 70k for that with mg and byd offering great options around 40-50k, Volvo xc30 at 67k....

[bertskidmore]

Having a white dog that loses his hairs I think a white interior would be perfect. A lot better than the white dog with the black interior i have now lol

[mvnorsel]

They would get more sales if called ' The Belmont '.

[eddyhsu]

Entry level tesla's are under 60k... byd and mg entry will be under 40k although not as nice... 75k is no longer entry lvl for EV 2023...

[metricstormtrooper]

45k US$ and the difference isn't all exchange rate.

[RISCGames]

It's too bad all that ugly silver trim (both inside and out) couldn't be replaced with something that looks like brushed black stainless steel... or at least in black. Silver just looks cheap when it's plastic.

[Sabumnim]

Really do not see the cost being correct, these are basically a very simple device controlled by a very low powered computer and a couple of iPads. There is no drive shaft or gearbox etc. Just a simple structure with very similar suspension to a comparable ice vehicle and the motors are not exactly breaking the bank to make. Look at Tesla they dropped their price a massive amount and still make lots from each sale. A starting price for these things should be at least 20% less especially since we are subsidizing them with Government (read our money).
