Topic: 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5

[me_2]

I did a very short drive with SIL's IONIQ 5: it looks unconventional outside but great, inside not so much. Better in person than on picture but still not my taste. Car runs solid, silent and competent. I would prefer Kia EV6 but I would be concern about head clearance from what I read...

Curious how nicely it drove?

As I said, I did a very short drive. How nicely? Well, even if her is the less expensive RWD version, you can feel the car weighting more than my actual & former Volt, or a base TM3 and we were only 2 onboard but let say it is on easy living side, well (over?)assisted steering, spacious enough for most need, I miss the simplicity of the regen paddle of the Bolt/ 2nd gen. Volt. I dislike the selection of cabin material, actuator feel, layout arrangement, low definition screen but hey, it was few minutes only

67 dB at 70 mph is VERY quiet, specially for a Hyundai.

Perhaps the most confounding absence on a car like this is around back, with no rear wiper to keep the glass clear dixit autotrader.

Yea, I concur when I looked this week at my brother & SIL Hyundai IONIQ5 back windows...but there is some hope!
