Shutlines look incredibly tight, looks like a quality car generally. Amazing strides have been taken by the Korean car industry in recent times.

Yes, because the majority of the people who are behind things like design and handling are now mostly Europeans (with a couple Americans too) who formerly worked at BMW, VAG and GM, to name a few.

I was lucky enough to have a go in one of these a few weeks ago.

It made me smile like a lunatic, it really is amazing fun, but I wouldn't be paying £65k unless the lottery win comes in.

527l boot and 57l frunk, That's not that small, let alone tiny. For example BMW iX1 is 13cm shorter and has 27l less boot space. Your remark is incorrect.

I just collected my kid from school. School bag, sports kit bag, laptop bag, a double bass and a bass guitar.
We managed ok.

We've just bought a brand new I30N. One of only four now left in the UK.

We'll enjoy that for a few years then, if we're forced into an electric car, might take a look at this.

Mentioned already but the Throttle House review is very good.

That’s good. Hope you don’t need to go to the airport cos you’ll have luggage on your lap

Flat floor, very sloped rear screen



No frunk unless that plastic lid lifts up

Jesus Christ! I reckon the boot in my 370Z Roadster has more room in it than that!

Are EVs just one absolutely massive compromise? They definitely seem to be to me for sure.

Remember that the Ioniq 5 always gives the impression of being Golf-sized in photos. It's not cavernous but 480L isn't tiny either, even if it's less than the non-N's 527L. The dual motor setup means you lose the frunk too.

Yeah, it’s plenty big enough really. And that’s coming from someone whose last two company cars have been the not-exactly-small Skoda Superb estate and an A6 Avant.

It really is bigger than it looks on pictures. You might recognise that effect, that (aspects of) a car is different in real life than on internet. You'd be wise not to dismiss cars based on teh internetz with all it's "experts". And you even have a frunk with 57l that has space left after the granny charger is put in there, no front engine ICE has that and any ICE with a frunk has a ridiculous or no trunk

I live in a tourist village. I regularly see cars with a roof box. I regularly see tourists Ioniq 5's. I never see an Ioniq 5 with a roof box or luggage trailer.

I assume the cable and accessories tray under the false floor in the boot is still there?

I'm going to give that a watch now. I do like to moan about EVs as most of you know, however they definitely still interest me though in some ways, especially the really fast ones.

I might even change my opinion on the size of the boot as well once I've watched it!
