The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is The EV Equivalent Of Fake Meat For Petrolheads

From Transport Evolved.

The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is a high-performance car that’s the eGMP twin to the excellent Kia EV6 GT.

And given that we’ve praised the EV6 GT a lot on this channel, you might think that we’d enjoy the IONIQ 5 N too. But after a short time with it, we’ve learned that it’s a bit like fake meat – but for petroheads.

We explain all.

18:44 – EV6 GT or IONIQ 5N?
26:43 – Thanks and Goodbye!
