Hyundai Ioniq 5

I moved from Octivia to Ioniq 5 and have found the seats fine in the Ioniq. Had to push lumber support out a good bit though.

There was the one I test drove today.

For anyone wondering about the size I parked it beside my Octavia to get perspective. Not as long. But higher and much rommier cabin.

Unfortunately I don't think it's a runner for me. My back/frame is just too wide for the seat. I am actually sad about it. It's such a cool car.

As it stands today, there is no confirmed grant for Jan 1st 2022 onwards. But they have said they want to continue the EV grants (at what level is unconofirmed) and funds are allocated for that in the budget. But none of that has been announced yet, so yes the Dealer is right by saying it does technically as of this point in time have to be a 212 to get the grant for 5k.

Saw This one parked in DunL yest. Already damaged the front passenger bumper.

You'd be fuming after spending 47k on it 3 weeks previous 😂

That's a Tucson behind it for Size/Height Comparison Sakes.

Oh very nice! I think that’s the exact one I have ordered. Black exterior and that looks like the white leather, so probably a premium model :-) looks great!

Don't think there are any executives in the country, or probably not even built yet. We have one on order for a month or so, was told could be as late as March, but possibly January. Not in a hurry fortunately. We ordered from Waterford, they may still have some of their original allocation.

Hey Eagerv, did you order the Executive plus or the Executive? Also, which battery (you've probably said all this already, my apologies),

The reason I'm asking is, I ordered the exec plus 73kw in Waterford. Changed my mind about the paint, luckily someone swapped with me, just wondering If it was you?

Anyone out there who is expecting a car in near future: Was passing by a compound in County Wexford an hour ago, near Campile, and saw a load of car transporters (perhaps 6 or more) with mainly Ioniq 5 on board. Was dark and hard to see, couldn't take photo, but all I could see had the 19" wheels and the light coloured trim on the sides (I think, they may have been partially wrapped) Noticed many greyish ones, a few black, few white and a few silver ones.

Its the sweet spot for me as well, the only extra I would like... well, two extras, would be power tailgate and that blind spot camera when indicating coming up on the dash.

Then again I'd love a model y but €69,800 starting price on the road is alot of money so... Ioniq 5 is my landing point, just love the look and stance of the car

That's me!! :)

Matte paint only really one for proper car enthusiasts (who treat their car like their baby) who live in Urban environment, and ideally nice weather. But I agree that colour is great.

I think all round the Galactic Grey ticks a lot of boxes and still looks so fresh.

I think the white really gives it that Range Rover Evoque look which is what hooked me on the car.

The black on black will look better than the chrome on black.

Not a fan of the olive or the lucid blue, And the cyber grey is meh.

Im surprised there isnt a bolder blue colour, think it would look great.

My heart wants to but my head says don't. As I said before, about once a month I am driving on narrow West Cork roads or narrow Kildare roads. Neither of those are matte finish friendly, particularly west Cork.

I want to drive without worrying about the overgrown ditch(dyke?) is leaving a mark I can't get rid of.

If I didn't do these trips so regularly and I can see the amount of light scratching on the left hand side of my current vehicle... computer says no... The irony of the situation is I can't be bothered getting rid of those same scratches I am talking about but by the same token I don't want to worry about one's I can't get rid of.

The real answer here is, just hurry up with the cars hyundai so I can stop himming and hawing

Stupid question, but I thought all the possible colours for Ioniq 5 were matte?

We have the choice of black or cyber grey (58kw - exec plus). There is galactic grey as well but that's 73kw premium.

Are they all matte paints or is there a difference? We do a lot of country road driving!

Yeah that makes a lot of sense given the names!

Thanks.

No worries at all, i'm cool either way!

I know, it's been about 2 months now since i put in the deposit and feels like years... I can't do another 5 months!!

It does suit me though unfortunately to build on some additional savings and don't have much use for the car until Jan at least as we'll still be working from home until then...

Just in case, matte gold and shooting star grey are the only matte paints defintely.
