    The ability to change gear makes this possibly a game changer, time will tell!

      Sounds like 100 years ago you’d have been happy with a car that poops and wobbles you around for a genuine horse riding experience :)))

      It only sounds like a gear change – the acceleration is actually slower than without the sound effect, as it blips down the acceleration during a “change”.

    A45 is too small to compete against 5N. 5N has the largest interior space in 5 seater cars in the market. Go find any sports car that is bigger, faster “AND” cheaper than this. Absolutely NONE

      It’s a different class of car though.

      @Neural Net exactly, it dwarfs any real hot hatch (which an A45 would be classed as).
      It’s a crossover / SUV, all 2.2 tonnes of it, and definitely not a “track weapon” at that weight, regardless of its ballistic acceleration.

    It has literally entry supercar level of agility with its one fourth price. It just not agile on the straight road for drag race but also on the track. It’s legit track car.

      @DriverJ When we see it’s nurburgring time we’ll meet here again. My guess you’ll delete your comment quick smart. Unless you really think a 2200+kg car will trouble a gt3rs.

    It actually looks a fun car to daily. Wish you mentioned a bit more about ride comfort and quality.

    With the extra performance and all that weight this car is going to eat expensive tyres.

      Same as my M50, what you save on it being an EV you spend on tires (same tires as the 5N)

    Very interesting review. The Hyundai group must be making other manufacturers nervous.

    Love it. We should applaud Hyundai for giving us the option at least, even if it’s not to everyones taste. I will personally stick with my M3P due to the supercharging network and the fact its just as quick, if not quicker, owing to less weight.

    Now comes with a rear wiper that they missed off on the original non hot hatch, that’s the most interesting thing from the video.

    Literally living in a simulation…😂 I’d rather spend a few grand on a sim rig for the spare bedroom than 65 grand on some simulated noises on a milk float 😂😂😂😂 at least you get a rear wiper thrown in😊

    Without a handbrake, that stops rear tyres totally on tarmac and differential lock between right and left tyres on both axes, it’s just an heavy (2.2 tonns!!!) toy for a big fat boy.

    A step in the right direction, at long last. However, I’m still massively in favour of synthetic fuels and the continuance of the ICE.

    Great calm review. Almost a mature hot hatch. I still resent the fact that they are so heavy and therefore not a “green” build.

    As always, a great review but a Hyundai dealer quoted $50k for a battery replacement on a 2017 Ioniq. Difficult to listen to whatever else Hyundai offers to customers.

    I’ve always liked the boxy, understated looks of the Ioniq 5. And now they’ve added a small nuclear furnace to it’s motors. *_Awesome!_* 8-))…
    As for all the _”gimmicks”_ that this beastie has. They’re on the car so you don’t have to use them… _Unless you really, really want to…_ }:-))
    But the fact you can pull up next to Barry and Kevin, grinning away, as they’re sat in their Golf GTi at the lights, revving the nuts off it. and then leave them for dead when those light turns green, would be most rewarding ;-))…

    So 4-wheel drive, upgraded brakes and suspension, upgraded tyres, alcantara seats and door cards all mean no modifications at all for the MG4 X-Power over lesser models?
