 What is up you guys, welcome back to another one. If you're new to the channel, I'm Gold Pony, I do new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today we are in the brand new, the all new 2022 Hyundai Ionic 5 courtesy of Jackie and Volvo Hyundai in York PA for more information on their inventory. Please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. This thing is super quiet. This is an all new, all electric model from Hyundai. Of course it comes with America's best warranty, that means being five years, 60,000 mile bump for the bumper, 10 years, 100,000 miles on the powertrain. And that actually includes the battery as well. In case anybody was wondering about the batteries warranty, it falls under the powertrain warranty by Hyundai. You also get three years or 36,000 miles of complimentary maintenance, which is always good. But ultimately in this video we'll be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration, to braking, steering, feel, ride quality, sound system, all that fun stuff. So having said all of that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing it. So as you can imagine, there are several different trim levels for the 2022 IONIQ 5. First one being the SE standard range, starting at $39,700. By the way, that's a rear wheel drive configuration only. SE, which actually is the one we have today, $43,650. SEL for $45,900. Lastly, the limited, starting at $50,600. Now, all of those trims I just mentioned were standard rear wheel drive. You can add a wheel drive to any of them, but that first one, if you wanted to add all wheel drive to the middle two trims, add $3,500. If you wanted to add all wheel drive to the limited, add $3,900. And of course, to go along with that, you do have the availability of the $7,500 federal tax credit here in the US as well. So meaning if you owe the government $7,500 at the end of the year, that gets wiped clean. So that is pretty cool. But anyways, the way the power is set up here on the IONIQ 5, essentially, there's two different configurations. You get the rear wheel drive setup and the all wheel drive setup. That's how they're going to differ. So with the rear wheel drive configuration, you're going to get a rear mounted electric motor pointing out 225 horsepower, 258 pound feet of torque. Again, sent to the rear wheel. Zero to 60 time is going to come in at approximately 7.2 seconds there with the range coming into the very impressive 300 miles. And since we're on the charging here, there's actually a two-way charging port. So you can charge other things as well, including like TVs or appliances or even another EV. In the case of an emergency, let's say another EV dies on the side of the road, you can actually use your IONIQ 5 to help charge them back up so they can get to a charging station, which I think is pretty cool, I like that. But also, Hyundai has teamed up with Electrify America giving you two years of complimentary free charging as well, which is pretty darn cool. But so then the other engine configuration is going to belong to the all wheel drive setup. That one is the one that we have today. That puts out 320 horsepower, 446 pound feet of torque. Gotta love the torque numbers on electric vehicles, I swear. Sent to all four wheels, zero to 60 time is going to come in at approximately 5.1 seconds, which you guys know we will test out here in a little bit. Range is going to come in at 269 miles. However, we do have 287 miles showing up on my infotainment screen here. So maybe that number's a little off, I don't know. But so anyways, we were still sitting here at this red light. When it comes to the drive modes, there's actually a drive mode button located on the steering wheel itself, which I think is pretty cool. That will include eco, normal, sport and snow. And the way you get the snow mode is you simply hold in that drive mode button for a little bit longer, but essentially that will adjust things like the gauge cluster colors or configuration, the AC performance, the acceleration, the braking characteristics, and also the steering feel I can tell as well. Definitely provides a bit heavier steering feel when you get it in that sport driving mode. So that is wonderful. I like the different adjustability there. And I'm telling you guys, the acceleration is heavily adjustable, dependent upon which drive mode that you put it in, which is pretty cool. But anyways, having now gotten all of that out of the way, before we do the acceleration test, I wanted to mention to you guys that there are paddle shifters. They are not used for what paddle shifters traditionally are used for. They're actually used for the regenerative braking characteristics. You can adjust that based on the paddle shifter. So essentially you can more or less put it in that one pedal driving mode by just playing around with the paddle shifters. But anyways, having now gotten all of that out of the way, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and find it straight away. Let's put it in sport driving mode and let's put the acceleration here to the test and let's see how quickly we can get our new 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5 here up to speed. Here we go. Oh gosh, oh my gosh. Oh my gosh, whoa, this thing is so sick. Oh my gosh, that was wonderful. Wow, this thing is a freaking rocket. You know, zero to six, oh my gosh, my stomach is still feeling it. Zero to 60 in 5.1 seconds. Let me tell you guys, feels 100% different in let's say a Ford Mustang than it would in an IONIQ 5 or any electric vehicle for that matter. That was breathtaking, literally. It took my breath away. That was nuts. I love the acceleration. That was nuts. I freaking love the acceleration on this thing. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That was cool. Anyways, take a look at that acceleration. As always, braking is equally important. So upfront you will find 12.8 inch ventilated front disc in the back, 12.8 inch solid rear disc. As far as that braking feel goes, honestly, it's wonderful. It leans a little bit more on the heavier side, the firmer side of things. So it does instantly bring you to a stop. I love the braking feel in this thing. It's not a soft braking feel, which I honestly kind of expected, especially with this being an electric vehicle, because typically the braking feel in all electric vehicles are typically complete crap, if I'm being honest, but it actually feels really good in this thing. So well done, Hyundai. I didn't expect that if I'm being honest. But anyways, then touching on suspension and handling, upfront you will get a McPherson strut, front suspension in the back, independent multi-link rear suspension, front and rear high performance dampers, as far as ride quality goes, it's been excellent. Like the ride quality in this thing is absolutely wonderful here. Here's the speed bump right here. You guys got it on GoPro here. It's great, honestly, it's great. Like the ride quality is super smooth in the IONIQ 5 without a doubt. As far as cabin noise goes, you guys could probably tell it's super quiet. It's an electric vehicle. It's an electric vehicle. You don't have that engine noise or exhaust drone or anything like that coming into the cabin, which is, I don't know, kind of refreshing for a little bit something different there than, I don't know, get some typically used to. As far as steering feel goes, it does make a pretty substantial difference dependent upon which drive mode that you put it in. Like I said, if you put it in that sport driving mode, it instantly firms up. That steering gives you a heavier steering feel. So I personally appreciate that. Having said that, even in that sport driving mode, it's not maybe as heavy as I would want it to be. I would say, okay, just a little constructive criticism, Hyundai. Look at the Tesla Model Y, maybe, because that is the competitor to this thing. As far as steering feel goes, the Tesla Model Y kills it. One of the best steering feels I've ever experienced, but wouldn't have minded if they, I don't know, made it a little heavier of a weight to the steering, I guess, in the IONIQ 5. And as far as visibility goes, I could see 100% perfectly fine out the back. Definitely not going to have any issues there. And I did want to mention there is an available head-up display. We don't have it today, but it is going to be there if you wanted that as well. But that pretty much rounds out the performance segment of this review, guys. Let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5. All right, so here she is, you guys, the new 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5, finished in digital teal. Very cool name for an exterior color, especially considering all the pixelated effects going on within the IONIQ 5. We'll cover that as we go here, but interesting little fact, this is about the same size as the Hyundai Tucson, but with a longer wheelbase than the Hyundai Palisade, because of the new architecture, the new platform that the IONIQ 5 is built on, which is kind of interesting. I don't know, fun little fact for you guys. Let's go ahead and start up front on this one, though. Retro futuristic look, and I'll cover that as we go, of course, but retro being all the pixelated effects that you guys can see, it really does remind me of that, if you guys saw that movie Pixel with Pac-Man and all of that, it's like a throwback to that. I can definitely see this car being in that movie. But anyways, clamshell hood for fewer panel gaps, you guys could probably see that. I always liked clamshell hoods. I feel like Audi and Porsche uses that design quite often. Pixel-inspired LED headlights, of course, you guys can see those up there. They do come with an automatic feature, as well as automatic high beams, meaning when you have your high beams on at night, and it sends a vehicle coming in the opposite direction, it's gonna automatically dim those back to low beams, then when that vehicle's gone, it's gonna bump it back up to high beams then for ya. If you were to go with the SEL, it's unlimited, you will get full LED headlights, but you still get LED headlights either way, but not the full LEDs, unless you go with those two trims, LED daytime running lights. You do have some available signature lighting below the front grille, although we don't have it today. Active grille shutters that assist with airflow and help cool the batteries as well, that does come standard. And there are some front parking sensors that are available, but again, we don't have them here today. But overall, very nice looking front end, but that pretty much rounds out the front end. So let's go ahead and make our way to the side of the Yannick 5 here. All right, and so now since we are around to the side of this one, block windows surrounds, do you come standard? Z-shaped creases in the side profile, I think you guys can kind of see that. It's a backward Z, but still is Z nonetheless, and that looks pretty darn good. Body colored power adjustable side mirrors do come standard. They will be heated with LED integrated turd signals, and they're actually going to be power folding as well, which is pretty darn cool. You're either going to get black or silver side skirts depended upon which trim level that you go with. We do have the black of course down there. And 20 inch unique alloy wheels do come standard for every single trim level. And they are going to different design slightly depended upon the trim, but they are 20 inches, no matter what, which is pretty darn cool. And you do have those flush door handles as well. So they kind of tuck into the door when you're actually driving, but then when you're not driving, they fold out to lock the vehicle least, and then they'll fold back in once you start driving. But another cool thing, you guys can see the creases just above the wheel wells here. This is another thing that I just noticed which is a cool little design element. So I wanted to point that out, but that pretty much rounds out the side of the Yannick here. Let's go ahead and make our way to the back. All right, as I am stepping on the ice, we are around back here. I did want to first mention that rear spoiler. Let me actually get a little bit closer so you guys can see it is a twin design rear spoiler with an integrated breaker light. So there's kind of two sections to it. I definitely like that. You do of course have those pixel designed LED tail lights. You got the Yannick five lettering finished in white in between those tail lights. And there are some silver rear bumper accents towards the bottom there. And of course, no exhaust clips. So having said that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and make our way to the cargo area now. All right, you guys are so nice since we are around back of the Yannick five. When it comes to opening that rear tailgate, it is a manual tailgate if you were to go with any of the SE trim levels. However, if you were to jump up to the SEL or limited, it is going to be a hands free power tailgate. So it's going to be how you're going to go ahead and open that up. But once opened up, cargo capacity comes in at 27.2 cubic feet behind that second row. If you need a more space, there is a 6040 split, meaning the rear seats do fold down, bumping that up to 59.3 cubic feet. Demona also mentioned though, there is some cargo lighting back there. There is a 12 volt power outlet. There are four cargo tie down anchors as well, which is pretty cool to find. And if you were to lift up underneath of that floor of the cargo area, you will find a little bit of in floor storage. And speaking of, there's a little bit more storage, not a ton, but there's a little more storage underneath the hood, underneath the clamshell hood of the Yannick five as well. If you were to lift up underneath that EV cover, I guess you could say not a ton, but little bit of storage there as well. But anyways, then making our way up to the rear legroom that is going to come in at 39.4 inches. So for reference, I'm in even six feet tall. This is how much space I had back there. So plenty of space for me. Rear center armrest with cup holders does come standard reclining rear seats, also coming standard, which is pretty cool. Meaning the rear passengers can lay back a little bit there. There is dual USB charging ports back there. There's a little bit of storage, but that pretty much rounds out the back seats quite honestly. So let's go ahead and make our way to the front seats. Claw seating is going to come standard for the SE trim levels. Leatherette seating coming with the SEL and limited trims. Heated front seats coming with the SE trim level and up. There is that Yannick logo found within the seating. And really the Yannick logo is just pixels. That's kind of their thing as far as what the logo is. So you're going to find some pixel design towards the upper portion of those seats. And those seats, by the way, are power adjustable on even our SE trim level that we have today with power lumbar as well. So definitely easy to find your perfect driving position with that. So that was definitely nice as well. And overall it did make the seats plenty comfortable because of those adjustments. But then take a look at the steering wheel. It is tilt and telescoping however. I do wish it would have telescoped out a little bit further, especially for maybe a six foot adult or taller. Just makes driving position would be a little better if it telescoped out a little bit further. That's all I'm saying. Leather wrap steering wheel does come standard for all trim levels. It will be heated for the SEL trim level and the limited. And of course you have those four pixels within the center of the steering wheel. And yes, I actually had car confections ask Hyundai for me about the steering wheel having a lack of a Hyundai logo. And what they were told essentially is that those four pixels kind of are the logo. So little shout out to them in this video, but that's what that is there for. But anyways, let's now go ahead and make our way to the startup. Let me start by showing you guys the key here. You do have your Hyundai logo on the one side. We need to flip it over, lock unlock. And there's a remote start actually that comes standard as well. There's also a push button start that comes standard across the board. There is a digital key. So you simply just download the Hyundai app and then you have a key through your phone. So you really never even need the physical key if you wanted to go that route. I actually have that on my Hyundai Sonata as well. It's pretty cool. But then you got the button to pop the charging port as well on the key there. But essentially it is all keyless entry with the push button start. So all I'm going to do here is simply put my foot in the brake and press that engine start button located just to the left of the climate control information there. And so once started up, it is a 12.3 inch digital gauge cluster that comes standard for every single trim level across the board. Like I said, it will adjust slightly dependent upon which drive mode that you put it in. And it will also adjust the range, the miles or the range that you have left. So if I were to put it in eco, it gives me a certain mileage. If it were to put it in normal or sport, it's going to reduce that mileage because obviously you're going to get more of a range if you leave it in eco mode. So I do want to mention that. But anyways, you can adjust what is on there using the steering wheel mounted controls found on the left and the right hand side including really adjusting the entire look which is kind of cool. So I really liked that. The gauges are done pretty darn well within the Ionic five here. They make your way to overall interior quality if you're looking for a panoramic sunroof go with the limited trim level. That's how you're going to get that. LED interior lighting with a nice little fade feature does come standard as well. Ambient interior lighting coming with the SEL and limited trim levels. Wireless phone charger again coming with the SEL and limited trim levels as well. There is a magnetic dashboard that is going to come on the upper trim levels. Unfortunately, we don't have that. So I can't show what you guys today but essentially just to the left of the gauge cluster at least if you're here in the US if you're overseas is going to be just to the right because you're steering wheels on the right side of course. And since this is an electric vehicle there's a completely flat floor here in the front. So I thought that was pretty interesting. There's a 12-volt power outlet up there. There's a USB charging port, a little bit of storage just behind that. You have dual cupholders, two more USB charging ports a little bit more storage yet again. And within this center armrest there is even more storage. So definitely plenty of storage here in the Ionic five without a doubt. But so then now making our way to the infotainment screen. There is a 12.3 inch color touchscreen display to match the 12.3 inch digital gauge cluster which makes perfect sense to me. Bluetooth and audio streaming does come standard Android Auto Apple CarPlay but factory navigation system you guys also coming standard on every single trim level. So you gotta love that. Climate control settings you can find up there. You can of course find your ambient lighting settings at least if your Ionic five is equipped if you go with the SEL or limited trims. You can check out your charging statistics up there of course as well. There is of course in typical Hyundai fashion of voice memo systems. You can record your voice and then play it back at a later date which is pretty cool. Quiet mode which turns off the speakers in the back and limits the volume in the front to 25 so that the kids in the back can actually sleep which is pretty cool. You can adjust your heated seats up there apparently which is pretty nice. And you can of course check out your radio information as well. And so when it comes to the sound system this is interesting you guys. Four speakers come standard which is kind of not a whole lot. I gotta be honest but there isn't available eight speaker Bose sound system that comes with the limited. We don't have it today but let's go ahead and turn on the radio see what we got playing today. And I don't know let's test out our four speaker sound system that we do when you have here today. Hello, it's not the best. The bass was actually decent if I'm being honest for four speaker sound system but it's not the best. I feel like you really had to turn it up to really get any kind of clarity and I don't know they could have done better with the sound systems on the Ionic. I'll just say that. Anyways last thing I wanna mention to you guys on the infotainment screen at least is when you do put the Ionic in reverse it will make a little bit of noise when you put it in reverse because this is an electric vehicle so there's no exhaust drone. So people actually know that you're backing up but you will get a rear view camera coming standard across the board and a surround view monitor if you were to go with a limited trim level only which is always it's going to lead us into safety. And so to start front side side current airbags do come standard. Also a driver's knee airbag up front and a driver's seat center side airbag to kind of keep the driver and the passenger from colliding into each other. This is something Hyundai just started doing. I absolutely love it. I think that's pretty cool. In the back you're gonna have latch aka lower anchor to tell this to your children for the rear car seats, rear child door locks, tire pressure monitoring system but also coming standard across the board will include a four collision avoidances system, blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert, high beam assist, lane keep assist, lane following assist, rear parking sensors, the driver attention warning system, adaptive cruise control and if you were to go with the SEL or limited you will also get the highway driving assist too which actually is kind of Hyundai's level two autonomous driving system which is pretty cool as well. But overall when it comes to my final thoughts here of the IONIQ 5 I don't think I actually mentioned this to you guys yet but this is the fastest charging EV to date. It can actually charge from 10 to 80% in only 18 minutes. So that is pretty darn impressive in itself. I should have mentioned that at the beginning I'm sorry but excellent retro styling in this thing you got America's best warranty you have up to a $7,500 tax credit you got three years of complimentary maintenance and you got the magnetic dashboard which we don't have today but it is available on the IONIQ 5 which I think is a super quirky little feature in itself so. Overall the only constructive criticism I can think of is maybe bumping up the sound systems through the base trims and also the steering feel could be a little bit heavier in sport driving mode kind of keep it competitive with the Tesla Model Y but anyways that is about it for this one you guys thank you so much for watching let me know what you think of the IONIQ 5 in the comments section below feel free to follow me on social media at the bottom of the screen if you wanted to see what's coming next on the channel before it actually gets to YouTube be sure to hit the subscribe and the bell notification button if you're in a new car reviews that is what we do here on this channel after all do appreciate you guys watching more than you know and I will see you guys all in the next video stay gold.
