Hyundai IONIQ 5 Namsan: Much More Than Just a Special Edition!

The IONIQ 5 is a pretty technologically loaded car as is, but Hyundai decided that it wasn't enough with the launch of the Namsan trim level, which brings even more gadgets!

Namely, a panoramic glass roof and a first for the manufacturer in Europe - exterior cameras in combination with dedicated screens inside the vehicle instead of traditional side mirrors (DSM).

In this video we test out all the features in practice so you can decide whether it's worth spending the extra money on the Namsan Edition over the already well specified Ultimate.

Contrary to popular belief, the heavy rain presents no match for the digital mirrors, and in fact we think the cameras offer a clearer view in poor weather conditions.

We bought a Namsan just under a year ago. An amazing car. Loads of sensible/useful tech. AWD model is very quick and yet fairly economical with electrical consumption. We tow a caravan with it and it does not feel like it's even there (although the range tend to drop by about 36% - compared to just under 30% on our petrol RAV4). Would happily buy another if anything unfortunate happened to ours.

Blackheath looking beautiful in the rain. Loving the tech in the Namsan

Love all that tech, mirror/cam etc. My worry on parking is that you can squeeze in and remotely pull out, but the old diesel clunker next to you will just bash your paintwork.

Another very comprehensive video! Thank you!

[eddiefara]

great video as always! When I drove one at first I wasn’t keen on all the tech but you quickly get used to it and see the benefits. The highway driving assistant is also very good but I know you covered that in your other video about the Ioniq 5.

I will wait and get the enhanced model with rear windscreen wiper

[jonathantaylor]

Oh my gosh...!!
As a bit of a 'technophobe', all that incredible tech would be absolutely baffling to me...!! 😵‍💫
Perhaps I'm just too old 🤣
But, for the right person, that looks like an astonishing package. WOW...

Looking forward to your review of the Ioniq 5 N although I suspect like most top performance EVs it might just be too fast. It does however look to be a good alternative to a Taycan.

Digital mirrors are cool but in the UK they won't last long before someone coming the other way smashes them off and they look expensive to replace. They seem to stick out more than regular mirrors.

Quite a good looking car. But I’m not in the market for a car. My next vehicle will be a camper. I have my eye on the Wheelhome Vikenze III on a Vauxhall Combo Life Electric.

[verygoodbrother]

How much will it cost to replace the wing mirrors?

[mikebuntting]

Good video do you think the ionic 5 would benefit from a rear wiper ?

[rustys]

Just here to post the first comment: never done this before!

That roof is a nice aero alt to a convertible or at least sunroof.
Hate the auto handles.
Cams are exciting.

[uttherkunst]

Mirrors don’t have blind spots if they’re adjusted correctly, but virtually nobody does it the right way. 😢

In my country there's Premium MY24, Premium MY23, Vanguard MY24 and Vanguard MY23. None of these make sense and there's no Namsan.

[agiugabenson]

Those expensive looking wing mirrors wouldn't last long on the narrow roads around my way

[KingLoftiVII]

Thanks, been looking for this as want the roof in the uk

[KASR]

That's basically same as a gensis gv60

[hifiandmtb]

Great video.

Not one of those tech features interests me. Gimmicky crap for gimmicky craps sake. Manufacturers are just trying to squeeze more money from your pocket.
