Autogefühl not too long ago had a possibility to check drive the all-new Hyundai Ioniq 5 (AWD model) in Spain and the general impressions from the evaluation are fairly constructive.

The automotive is superb hardware-wise, which incorporates steering, suspension, acceleration, calmness (good noise insulation) and robust regenerative braking for single-pedal driving. It is merely enjoyable to drive. Since its size will not be the very best in its class, it seems to be nice for cities.

We are going to skip the final issues that we already know, like excellent quick charging functionality, in addition to vitality consumption (because it wants extra testing than a single measure).

Autogefühl famous additionally a couple of issues inside – seats are snug (however nothing distinctive), supplies and high quality are good, and the automotive may be very spacious.

Nevertheless, among the many cons, there’s the person interface of the infotainment, a bit difficult and never the very best navigation. Moreover, there are capacitive buttons – each under the display screen and on the steering wheel. On the constructive aspect, HUD helps so much. The trunk will not be small, however its form impacts the rear peak.

The title query “Is it now the very best EV to purchase?” stays open – as standard, due to numerous professionals and cons, and competitors/costs, the reply could be totally different for particular person use circumstances. For positive, it is the most effective EVs to contemplate.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 “slowly” spreads by Europe (it is out there additionally in South Korea), whereas within the U.S. it should enter the market later this year (solely the 77.4 kWh battery model).

We guess that it will likely be one of many greatest rivals to the Tesla Mannequin Y within the U.S. and doubtlessly the most effective promoting.
