In this review of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 by Savagegeese, we dive into the world of electric SUVs turned sports cars. The Ioniq 5 aims to win over enthusiasts with its simulated engine sounds and exhaust noise projection, trying to bridge the gap between internal combustion and electric power. The exterior features bigger wheels, tires, and brakes, giving it a sporty look, while the interior offers comfort and customization with bolstered seats and N memorabilia.
The team delves into the technical aspects in the shop, discussing the suspension setup, adaptive dampers, and aerodynamic enhancements that contribute to the car's driving performance. The battery pack, with its pouch style lithium-ion cells and advanced cooling strategies, ensures optimal power delivery and fast charging capabilities. The Ioniq 5 delivers impressive power outputs and torque split adjustments for a dynamic driving experience.
Taking the car for a street drive, the team explores its ride quality and the digital driving experience, including the simulated gearbox and engine sounds. Despite the car's attempt to engage drivers with synthetic sounds, the team finds themselves gravitating towards the quiet refinement of a traditional EV. The Ioniq 5 presents a unique blend of technology and performance, aiming to appeal to a wide range of car enthusiasts looking to embrace the future of electric vehicles.
