I've watched other reviews of this car, but this young man''s presentation skills are the best. No waffling, irrelevant anecdotes about himself (unlike others!), he just calmly packs in the relevant information. Great review.

Giving it the black 'grille' in the front was brilliant. Makes it look so much better than the other EV's.

In my opinion, Hyundai and Kia is jumping in developing their next gen car. Meanwhile the Japanese is barely gets better.

[JackKing.]

Looks futuristic like in the 80's trying to picture the future

[rwg]

Best looking car launched for a long time, not just the best EV looking car.

[BH_London]

My brain can’t quite work out the scale/proportions of this car. Looks like a Golf sized car but somehow scaled up!

[pashton]

By far the best looking EV so far... love it

[frankscorer]

Most critical and balanced review you can find about this car so far. Thanks!

[mateenio]

This looks amazing, on looks alone this would be my EV of choice

[kristians]

If somebody 5 years ago told me this was a Hyundai, I wouldn’t believe you

[aono]

This is a better car than VW and Skoda alternatives. Well done Hyundai. An affordable Tesla

Digital buttons are a plague on all our houses. Otherwise, car looks amazing. Superb piece of design.

[johnfrench]

The styling of this thing is bang on. It makes the ID4 look like a dinosaur

[Dave-H]

This looks like it's from the early 80's. Really nice, let's hope it ages well.

Hate all things modern but this... This is something special. Love it.

This shows that the Koreans have between the EV6 and the Iconiq5 pretty much killed it. The GMP platform seems to have so much more than the other platforms including that from Tesla and I suspect they will have a relatively cheap price in comparison to it peers in the CUV EV market.
I kind of think that tesla has met it match. What I think we need is essentially for the EV to come of age is cheaper cars with the same range but less glamour and more importantly the sort of hot hatch which is a superb driving dynamics. I was hoping that would be the Renault Sport ?alpine Zoe or Megane sized vehicle but simply put I doubt I see any other manufacturer match this in terms of style and economy.

i'm just under 2 meters, and honestly if i had to sit in the back seat. Having that leg room would compensate for the roof height since i could scoot down a bit on the seat.

Would point out that the Electric Highway is due to be updated to 6-12 bay 350Kw stations at EVERY motorway services in the UK in the next 1-2 years.

[dharminnaik]

It looks and seems a phenomenal car!!! I’m test-driving it on Monday, however, have been concerned by the lack of specificity upon specifications. The garages don’t seem to have a clue about what is in each range… They aren’t even sure whether any of them have a panoramic roof?!?!

[robbiestevens]

If you are ‘one pedal driving’ and not applying the brakes to slow down, are the brake lights activated to warn following drivers??
