In this episode of Throttle House, James hilariously dresses up as Morpheus, adding a touch of humor to their review of the Hyundai Ioniq 5. The team delves into the car's intriguing dual personality, showcasing its ability to seamlessly switch between a normal electric vehicle and a simulation of a traditional petrol car, complete with fake engine sounds that manage to fool even the most discerning drivers. The Ioniq 5's performance on the track surprises everyone as it competes against a Lamborghini Urus, proving that this electric behemoth can hold its own in a drag race.
As they explore the car's handling on the track, the team encounters some confusion with the drift mode, highlighting the complexity of the vehicle's systems. Despite this, they are thoroughly impressed by the Ioniq 5's engaging driving experience, with its ability to rotate smoothly and provide a thrilling ride around corners. The lap time analysis reveals the car's weight as its only downside, affecting its braking and cornering abilities, yet its overall balance and steering responsiveness make up for this flaw.
Moving on to the exterior and interior features, the team admires the Ioniq 5's striking design, noting its fun color options and unique styling elements. Inside, the car boasts a high-tech infotainment system and spacious rear seats, making it a practical choice for daily use. Despite some confusion with the car's controls and settings, the team appreciates the overall comfort and functionality of the interior, with James even managing to fit comfortably at 6'6". Overall, the Throttle House team is thoroughly impressed by the Hyundai Ioniq 5, praising its performance, design, and driving dynamics.
