Scott Collie
Head of Content
Scott Collie drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Spacious, grown-up interior
- Pricing hasn't risen for the new car
- Less torque makes for a better drive
Misses
- Premium is almost Ioniq 5 money
- 100kW DC fast charging is average in 2024
- Driver assists remain a Hyundai sticking point
