    According to Wikipedia it’s 77 inches wide… Why do they keep making them so bloody wide!? Some of us like to use car parks!

    1. @ggremlinz Avatar
      @ggremlinz

      Cos it’s an EV that needs to pack in as many batteries as possible to appeal to people and when the car is short you then widen it to expand the usable battery space

      @FishAndChippery

      ​@ggremlinzNot really. Leaf is much narrower but can do 375 WLTP. Making wide cars is just a Hyundai thing nowadays. They’re not alone in that, sadly

      @FishAndChipperywell the inster is pretty narrow

      Yeah no. People want room, cabin space, distance from passengers. Their sales confirm this. No one cares about your lame country’s stupid car parks.

      @ggremlinz cross sectional area is one of the basic parameters making drag worse. They should literally be doing the opposite.

      It’s is the GV60 they’ve just rebadged it 😂

      Honestly I feel like they’ve mixed up the badges, clearly this should be a Kia? It looks like the EV6’s little brother?

    Of liking the interior, looks a lot better than recent ioniqs. But outside it looks a LOT more like an SUV than a hatchback

    I have noticed that “Manos” has become a standard measure for seating in your videos. As in: you have one Manos in the front and and a full Manos on the rear. However the boot is measured in standard “Ginnies”

    Shame they had to make it taller. I supposed that is the price for putting batteries under the floor. Maybe it will look nicer in person, or an N version (not just N-line).
    As someone waiting for a Fiesta/Focus ST replacement, I’d give it a 7/10 (concept was 9/10).

      I was a bit disappointed by the height too, but then I remembered that the Ioniq 5N is a lot lower than the normal Ioniq 5. I will be interested to see what an Ioniq 3N is like; I think it could be a brilliant car.

  10. @Sturge0519 Avatar
    @Sturge0519

    Looks good but painfully slow, it’s a no from me.

    1. @alexyoutubings6283 Avatar
      @alexyoutubings6283

      Yep. And worse still they’ve done the same thing they’ve done with the EV2 and the long range car gets a weaker motor for who knows what reason – efficiency presumably but it is such a stupid choice. Paying more to get a slower, weaker car is not what customers expect. The only EV hatch of this size slower than this long range version is the e-C3. I don’t get it. Real shame.

    I liked the concept a lot more. It was lower to the ground and a lot more sporty. The actual car looks like an SUV/crossover, rather than a sporty hot-hatch.

    1. @Mamoo-01 Avatar
      @Mamoo-01

      Exactly! Hyundai couldn’t resist jacking it up to please the crossover customers. I suppose making it a crossover gives them more interior space since the batteries eats up a big chunk of the floor

    2. @GordonSegar Avatar
      @GordonSegar

      Totally agree, it looks like a crossover

    3. @wo-olf Avatar
      @wo-olf

      The concept was gorgeous. The covered prototypes looked like an ugly duckling already like a bad copy of a 90s Mazda 323 C which was ugly already.
      Now it’s unveiled it’s exactly as ugly as I expected.
      Shame, the concept was great. Low, wide, sporty.

      unfortunately the real car looked big and bulky😢

      Same, would have been interested in the concept not a jacked up crossover esque hatch.
      Love the color tho

    First they wanted to call everything a crossover, now they feel like people associate them with old people, so they call it a hatchback. It’s so tall

    1. @NeoGee Avatar
      @NeoGee

      Its definitely lower than an SUV would be in this segment

    2. @raresborcea Avatar
      @raresborcea

      ​@NeoGee It is a crossover.

    3. @GordonSegar Avatar
      @GordonSegar

      Totaly agree. It’s pretty much the same size as the current Ford Puma which Ford refers to as a compact SUV and everyone else refers to as a crossover. That isn’t necessarily a criticism of Hyundai as the Puma is a big seller, but clearly it isn’t a hatchback in the traditional sense.

  14. @riaz8783 Avatar
    @riaz8783

    9.6s is surprisingly slow for this class, but the price and range do help make up for that

    1. @sIightIybored Avatar
      @sIightIybored

      Seems fine for a B-segment SUV, a base Puma is 10.2.

    2. @johnnodge4327 Avatar
      @johnnodge4327

      We were thinking that it would be a nice replacement for our Ioniq 5, as we don’t need so much space now. However I don’t know if we could tolerate the rather sedated acceleration, compared to what we currently have available us.

    3. @riaz8783 Avatar
      @riaz8783

      ​@sIightIybored Not the slowest for sure, but slower than the R4 and likely most ID Polo/ Raval variants

    4. @towerofpeace Avatar
      @towerofpeace

      Yeah even the new polo ID has 210bhp. Disappointed. They are clearly holding back for the N version which I think is a mistake.

    The rear reminds me of a mixture of the Alfa Romeo Zagato SZ and an Alfasud.

    147hp and 9.6s from 0-62 for a car that looks like a hot hatch is just criminal…

      It’s like a slightly bigger Inster.

    3. @penguinred651 Avatar
      @penguinred651

      Thats N-Line spec which isn’t performance based, just for looks. If they bring out an N Performance version then you’re talking.

    Giant flask holder? 🤔 No! It is an inbuilt baguette holder 🥖, and the lower tray even catches the crumbs for easy clean up.

  19. @shroomyesc Avatar
    @shroomyesc

    I would love to see the non n-line version, I suspect it’d look a little bit more cohesive, as with the Ioniq 6.
