We shot a separate video testing every N feature in the car! Plus destroyed some tyres 😂 watch it here: kzhead.info/sun/h5GimpWJjYmMYIU/bejne.htmlsi=zeumQmqFAiAWuRcU
111k is expensive for a Hyundai, but it's not for a car that does 0-100 in mid 3's that also has handling and technology that adept. Masterclass from Hyundai
@@ev0watName some
@@livinagoodlife go do some research I’m not here to do it for you
@ev0wat But Chinese cars would not run even 1 lap in Nurburgring, whereas Ioniq5N did run more than 2 laps in Nurburgring. That's impressive for a 2.2ton electric car thanks to its efficient regenerative brake.
@@ev0watmost ICE cars are throw away in 10 years, ya donut.🙄
@@livinagoodlife BYD Seal 3.8 @ $68k. Nowhere as nice as the Hyundai or Kia, but the 0-100 isn't necessarily the same yardstick it once was.
you know its a good car when paul says "far out" x 3 times in the span of 10 seconds lol
Hahaha yep he said that reviewing the A45s waay back in 2020 also 😅👍
Props to him for saying the other f word 😂
It’s honestly insane how far Hyundai/Kia have become, if 10-15 years ago people said one day you’ll over 100k for either brand they’d honestly think you have a mental issue. They are killing it and their cars are homestly a class above most of their competitors. Their cars look awesome and sleek, the performance of the N/N Line models is exhilarating and fun, they are very AMG-esque. I love the Sonata N Line and i30 Sedan N, they always put a smile on your face each time you get behind the wheel. I must admit I’m not a fan of EV’s but what Hyundai has done with this is exceptional, although the fake noises are gimmicky atleast they’re trying to put some fun in the boring EV world and the performance is absolutely breathtaking. You’ll be destroying alot of European supercars off the lights in this, even in a roll you’ll gap alot of the competition that costs double or triple this car. Han from F&F: Tokyo Drift won’t be dissing Hyundai today.
All Chinese cars are now similar to this. Nothing spectacular here. You guys are just exaggerating. It is still a cheap and crappy Hyundai.
youd still be mental imo
@@hassanger8128 troll boy 😅 we know trash chinese products
@@hassanger8128 Your life is more trashy😂
Man, these things are massive. In pictures it looks like a normal little hatchback but I saw one (non N) in traffic and it was huge compared to other cars.
That sux, I was picturing Golf, I30N type size. Is it more like rav4 or similar?
@@davidt3196 I just asked Gemini to do a comparison, these things are actually bigger than a Rav4, just not as tall because they're not raised like a Rav4 but not far off. Dimension | Volkswagen Golf | Toyota RAV4 | Hyundai Ioniq 5 Length | 4284 mm (14 ft) | 4600 mm (15 ft) | 4635mm (15.2 ft) Width | 1789 mm (5.9 ft) | 1855 mm (6.1 ft) | 1890mm (6.2 ft) Height | 1465 mm (4.8 ft) | 1685 mm (5.5 ft) | 1605mm (5.3 ft) Wheelbase | 2627 mm (8.6 ft) | 2690mm (8.8 ft) | 3000mm (9.8 ft)
@@Kruse1 Thanks for that. I guess it's not too bad looking at the dimensions, even tho it's already lower than a Rav4 I'd probably have to drop it a bit more if I was to get one and since we don't get the model S Plaid in Australia this is probably the only EV I'd even consider at this point.
suv
They look plastic, and there are a lot of problems with these electric cars they are trying to push down our throats. We are sponsoring china and they don’t care about the climate. So there cars are not green
I’ve heard other car reviewers say similar things - best performance electric car especially for its price (Taycan is 3 times dearer). Great review Paul. Probably the first electric car I’d even consider buying.
Same. That new Rivian 3 looks really great as well, though who knows if it’ll ever get made. It looks like a futuristic version of the original Volkswagen Rabbit/GTI.
Rivian is the most unreliable electric car
Hyundai/KIA have been cooking lately! 10 years ago you would've been called crazy if you thought they would be building cars like they are today.
They are still crappy and cheap

I can't believe I actually want an EV now, I've been waiting for this video and think I'm convinced. It has similar (combined) power to my ZL1 Camaro but it can actually put the power down. No matter what speed I'm doing if I flaw it, it just goes sideways (which is fun & on private property of course) and in 60K k's I'm on my 5th set of tyres but that does include a fair few track days at Phillip Island.
Th!s thing will smoke the tyres too😅😅😅😅 Even with the torque vectoring 🔀 👍✌️ it’d be a rocket ship,,,“🚀 Probably the quickest on the road in my state(atm) Given its class and brand.
@@caphs2107 For sure, no doubt it'll smoke the tyres! What I left out in the original comment is the Traction control in the ZL1 is so slow to react the car is sideways before it kicks in and with off all together it's just a smoke show 😂
Amazing review Paul... Loved the video 😃
YES!! Been waiting for this one!
I’m guessing that the term “far out” is not exactly what you wanted to say! 😂😂

OMG!!! Thank you, Paul! I've been waiting for this. Could you do a review on the Mercedes AMG A35 or CLA 45?
Updated a45s too pls
@@jackh4787 I think he's already got that one up.
@@michaelanthony7327 the 2023 update of a45s? Don’t think so
The car looks very stylish and racer like.
Looks awesome.
Optional Glass Roof!!! Bravo to Hyundai! They give people option to get rid of that POS "technology". You know, for people who don't want to pay for something which is utterly useless but costs a lot of money both initial and ongoing costs (insurance, having to run AC more because stupid thing lets in a lot of heat into the cabin, etc).
I'd also be curious to know how much weight a glass roof adds too. Sprung weight and as high as it gets too.
@@Tigermoto I'd imagine considering all (or most) of the weight is in the battery that even a carbon roof wouldn't have much effect? But I agree with the original comment that it's good that it's an option and not just stuck there. Even cars with a sunroof I almost always had the shade closed and rarely opened it.
This at least shows that manufactures are willing to develope a race oriented electric car rather than just making luxury SUVs
What about the paddle shifters and the artificial digital rev counter? and does the engine sound like the real thing? does the engine sound while changing the fake gears help with the driving experience as suggested by other reviewers? I would love to have heard it going around the track with the engine sound. Otherwise awesome video, wish it were cheaper her in NZ. keep up the great work!
We have another video where we test all the features. It’s here: kzhead.info/sun/h5GimpWJjYmMYIU/bejne.htmlsi=zeumQmqFAiAWuRcU
Don’t worry about it on track. It cooked itself after one lap of eastern creek
@@lukeneill1568😂 I personally did six laps in a row. We are loving how upset the ICE boyz are getting.
Thats a nice looking car.
The only electric that gives me sinful thoughts. Good job, thanks. Hold another sub!
Several comments here comparing this car with the Tesla Model 3 (or Y) Performance. There is no question that the Hyundai is a better handling track-focused car than the Model 3P, more fun to drive and, to some people, better looking . But there are some reality tests. Its big and very heavy (2.2 tonnes) and consumption is monstrous - 24 kWh/100 km. That will have the biggest impact when it is used as a daily driver. I have owned a 2019 Model 3P for 5 years and 110,000 km and have averaged under 15 kWh/100 km. Its just as quick off the line as the Hyundai, but probably slower round a technical track. How often is that going to matter? In the end these vehicles get used mostly for work travel, shopping, family trips, taking kids to sportsdays - all the mundane aspects of daily life. If you factor in the lower cost higher efficiency and convenience of charging I think I'd still buy the Tesla.
This is one of the cars that I'm genuinely excited to drive. My thoughts everytime behind my '380 '.
Most certainly not an EV fan. But this thing is awesome looking!
I wanted one of these for a while, when i was planning my change from gas dd to electric dd, but it didn't release in time. Also I just cant personally justify a ~16k usd price premium over a MYP for a very small increase in shits n giggles at the cost of range and charging infrastructure - especially here on the west coast. I love the 5n as a thing that exists, but it's main draw is trackability increase over competitors, but if i was actually going to track a car again id most definitely not go with a $66k usd unrepairable Hyundai. I'd just mod a used miata for 1/5 the price and end up with a better track car
I wonder if the roof isn't carbon fiber, which would reduce the curb weight a bit. 🤔
I wish I could afford it. I ❤ it. FANTASTIC
did you not test the 'manual' mode??
Natrually Aspirated 4eva ❤
Until the government make you buy EV in 2035
Nice work again paul 😅 this car looks amazing brother and I bet you loved this piece of kit . I love all your vids mate and very informative mate all the best 🎉.
Thanks for showing us your custom mode, Hyundai should officially call it as P-mode boost 😅👏
I reckon they put the centre console like that near your legs so you can brace your leg against it when throwing it around
With all that said, was it fun?
@CarExpertAus if money wasn't an issue to BUY, which car would be your favourite most fun and practical N car you would want to own personally? this or the i30N or Elantra N? please factor in daily, weekend track attack, liveability, cost of ownership (including insurance) and resell value.
Rumor is that the "Evolution" sound takes after the Hyundai LeMans prototype in Gran Turismo 7.
Beautiful looking car. Might have to sell my ar se to get it
👍 Wow wow !
This or the bmw i4? I’m not a revhead but do like a great handling car
This or an RS3? Performance this looks better but 5 pot sound awakens something inside of me.
I'm actually thinking the exact same thing. I don't know the wait times on these but RS3's are going for like 30K over for "demo's" or cheeky buggers who bought em to make a $
@@davidt3196 rs3 used prices definitely coming down but still laughable.
@@davidt3196I got a 2022 m3 g80 for cheaper than this. One tune and 0-100 in 2.9 seconds 😂 oh and I can also make it from Sydney to Brisbane on one tank
How long will it take to charge at home?
Depends on the speed of your home charger. If you're lucky enough to have a 3 phase you can charge at 11kW, which would take about 8 hours from 0% to 100%. Or about 5 hours from 10 to 80%.
@@johnlambert1744😂😂
Paul, why do car makers put digital compasses in street cars, l don’t see the point?
You would think it would be even quicker given the power rating. If you take a 2016 Mercedes A45 for example. 382BHP and 0-60 in 3.7 seconds, so the same in a similar size car with 4WD.
ever heard of weight?
@@jackcalow2430eh my vf gts does 3.3 and my wife’s m3 g80 does 2.9. It’s just a boat with no range. A gimmick if you will.

Lets see a drag race between this and a MG4 X POWER
Between this and the Zeekr 001 FR would be the real South Korea vs. China match-up.
Got something a bit more fun coming.
@@CarExpertAus Don't think there's something more fun for me than a car with 1265 bhp, that can do 0-60 in 2 seconds, a Kimi Raikkonen mode and has satellite connectivity.
Anyone have an idea on insurance for a male driver in NSW?
Wait till the new m3p for 90k is released next week 😂. This is cool, just hard to justify 110k+ on a small hatch, even if it's great. Looks great and goes hard. Not sure about the fake noises tho. Let's see what the new m3l is like
No model 3 p will be 90k... it will not have tyr track warranty either, the brakes will fade after 1 lap... Tessa does not have the facilities hyundai has in Germany and in South Korea
First off, this car isn’t a small hatch, it’s actually kinda big. By the time you get an m3p on road with the options you want it’s not going to be 90k. The $111k for this includes everything. The ionic 5 n is less boring, keeps going lap after lap and has good suspension. I know where I’d put my money.
@@ReapZ1373 By all accounts all things the new ludicrous m3p has sorted. I'm not saying the m3p is better yet, we really have no idea what it will actually drive like, but we do know it will have 461kw, weigh 1854kg, adaptive suspension, new big brakes, 80kwh pack, 528km wltp range, 261kph top speed, Pzero tires. We know this because these are the specs as per the euro regulations. It will be cheaper, longer range and faster though, that's a pretty hard thing to overcome off the bat. That 111k for the 5n is before on roads too, so more like 120k on the road. The M3L might even scrape into the $89330 lct threshold in which case it's a slam dunk, makes like a 60k car in the real world for those lucky enough to be on a lease. The 5n looks to be brilliantly engineered and I'm glad other manufacturer's are doing their actual best to make it worth the money, still very expensive though, they can both be true.
Yeah such a dumb clickbait title by CarExpert. I love the Ioniq N but it’s a completely different price category to a Model 3P.
@@ReapZ1373what options? Barely any options by Tesla compared to a huge range of options with Hyundai. The stamp duty will also be far higher with the N. Your comparison is insincere at best.
You are kidding. From $111k + on roads. Thats $28k more expensive than the Tesla Model Y Performance and $30k more than the new Model 3 Performance. And it's about 300kg heavier. The new M3P is way more versatile for road and track if that matters. And then there's the 0-100 time...
Sounds like massive road noise compared to when I watch other reviews. Not sure if it’s this car or a change in recording equipment
Read noise is tyres and sound deadening... performance tyres are always noisy + performance = less weight = less sound deadning
Top 10 comment 3.5 secs Bloody Nora!!!!
$74k (real dealer price) vs MY Performance $43k. I think not.
No mention of the E-Shift simulated pedals. I was hoping you would talk about it .
We have another video where we go over all those features. Check it out!
he forgot rear centre armrest test!!
Should do a comparison against the new Model 3 Performance which is $20K cheaper
They should take it to MT panorama on Bathurst day up against a GTHO give the Ford half a lap head start over ten laps The Hyundai should reel him and see how far technology has come
I reckon the Ioniq would have him pretty quickly.
Seen them at eastern creek not be able to keep up with a Honda civic 😂
Paul, great review and it sounds like an amazing car. But I have to ask why is it so rare that you see any electric cars made by Hyundai or Kia on the road, and yet you see tons of Teslas? I think it is still that Huyndai and Kia are not serious about supplying our market in any proper way. And the price of the N at some $111K says it all. Similarly the Mach e Mustang GT at $115K is a silly amount of money. The MG4 XPower is only $60K, that is a big difference. And I bet for most punters the XPower would be more than enough in terms of how fast it is. If you wanted to get it to handle better, and have better brakes, you would get plenty of change out of $5K I bet, and still have saved yourself some $46K on the N.
Sunroofs should not be available on performance cars. Defeats the purpose. Manual seats are a win. Less to break and lighter.
The armrest is so short !
Can you do the Chevy silverado high country
I’m surprised you didn’t try the manual shift mode with the simulated gear shifts!
It’s in the other video. Link in description.
@@CarExpertAus Yup, my bad. I saw that. Awesome videos as always.
I can see this being very popular with car thieves . What's the security system like ?
You could buy an i30 and i20n. Got to better fun track driving 7-900kg less weight, real engine sounds. Daily one, track the other…
Where’s that prototype car that was like a Nissan 240x
Thought it would have much more torque
State of charge is one of the biggest factors for acceleration along with battery temperature. So yeah 50% SOC is definatly not optimal for 0-100 tests. But it's still interesting to be able to achive such numbers with a lor SOC!
Between this and a Porsche Taycan Turbo S..... 🤔🤔🤔🤔 each have their pro's & cons....
The real choice is between the Taycan or two of these with $150k in your pocket. Seems like a no brainer to me!
The front bumper is so needlessly busy, how would you ever PPF that?
I'd want to be able to option electric seats that don't go as low. My partner and I both sit in different driving positions and getting a car with electric memory seats has been a huge upgrade for us.
Too much red paint, not very classy
The only ICE hot hatch I can think of comparing is the A45s or maybe an RS3. Wonder how that compares
This is much larger than any of those cars. You’re looking at the size of a prado
50-100 kilos still off your own weight!. 👍🏼👌🏼😉
Model Y performance before tax $7500 credit is $53000 while this is almost $70k.
Model Y spreads right away without turning around the track. Compared with Model Y, it is a general Ioniq 5. The comparison target is wrong.
@@user-eo1zw2yn8u Considering the Model Y Performance is significantly cheaper and still very fast, it's worth noting that most buyers won't regularly take a nearly $70k Ioniq 5N to the track. Practical benefits often outweigh track performance for everyday use.
Imagine going back to the mid 90s, and telling someone in 30 years you would have an electric Hyundai SUV that did mid 3s, 400k range, and sells for 111k aud. You would be laughed out of the room
64 texts and 50 missed calls?
Probably Dominoes Pizza marketing notifications 😂
Please tell me those pretend engine noises can only be heard inside the car.
You can select inside, outside, both or none.
Would love to have it. But its too expensive. Here in Finland from 81 000 €. Thx but no thx
It's not a whopping $30k+ better than the Model Y. Plus additional $$$ as dealers are marking them. No thanks. RIP Model Y mmmm nope.
Gone are the days of $7,990 Hyundai's 😂
I like manually adjusting my seat. It makes it easier to find your seating position again after someone else has been driving the car. I can count the clunks back to my position.
120k for a Hyundai hatch?. I thought Hyundai are for middle class friendly.
It’s a EV sports car with super car performance.
For a Ev throw away, that’s too expensive.
Too bad. Still using nmc.
Going from the wonderful, lightweight and playful i20N and i30N to this overpriced electric whale 🐳

Funny, BMWs are hardly lightweight these days. To say the IONIQ N isn’t playful tells me you’ve never driven one. Personally, I’d rather pay for performance over prestige. This car is all about making the case for fun EVs.
@@paulpak460ahh you can get a m3 for the same price. It’s faster. Sounds good. Practical. And you can actually drive it places without having to stop for electric
111k is nuts. That aside, the replacement costs on the batteries for even minor damage for these Hyundai and Korean EVs are eye watering. They can run 90k+
Where'd you see 90k for the battery?
111K for the whole car but 90K for a battery? Are you sure and would it not be covered by warranty if faulty or insurance if damaged?
Why r u lying the highest figure quoted in 20k to replace batteries where are u getting 90k?
You are a complete donut.
@@afrikengunner it was a typo. Should have been 60k. The insurance usually writes off the car. I love how EV zealots so wrapped up in things defending their magical machines.
What track is this? Is it in Melbourne? If you buy a car like this, you need to let loose on a track once in a while
I think it's the old Holden proving ground at Lang Lang
At $111k does the N stand for NUMPTY OR NO BRAIN
Which is it in your case? 😂
@15:42 - 350 + 175 = 478? I don't understand, is there some loss somewhere?
