IONIQ 5 is a futuristic electric vehicle

■ UP WITH THE BEST: The futuristic IONIQ 5 EV turned heads wherever it went. THOSE cheeky chaps from Monty Python may well have had the new IONIQ 5 in mind when they coined their “And Now For Something Completely Different” catchphrase. A futuristically-styled midsized SUV, the IONIQ 5 is Hyundai’s first-ever dedicated battery-electric vehicle as distinct from the Kona SUV and IONIQ hatchback models which also come with hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants. Although it carries Hyundai badging, the SUV IONIQ 5 is the first vehicle from the Korean company’s new subbrand and joins the luxury Genesis marque but with EV only models. The existing IONIQ hatchback variants (hybrid, plug-in hybrid and EV) will continue to be sold as Hyundais, but future dedicated EV including a sedan (IONIQ 6) and large SUV (IONIQ 7) will join the IONIQ 5 under the new brand name. IONIQ 5 is available in one grade, with the option of a rear-wheel single motor layout or a dual motor (rear and front) AWD. Our test car was the AWD variant with Hyundai’s HTRAC multi-mode system and in metallic Galactic Grey, one of six exterior colour options. STYLING As always there will be opposing opinions about external styling and that’s even more likely when something as adventurous as IONIQ 5 comes along. We absolutely loved everything about it, a few were non-committal, while a couple hated it. One thing that was consistent as we drove the car around for a week was that it didn’t go un-

By ALISTAIR KENNEDY noticed. Although EVs don’t need a conventional grille most models to date have been based on petrol or hybrid vehicles any so usually end up with a closed-off version of the grille. Because IONIQ 5 is all-new from the ground up its designers have been allowed to let their creative juices run free. The front of the car features two narrow glass strips, the top one with twin rectangular LED headlamps outside of orange turn indicators on either side and sensors and a camera in between. Below there’s a full-width string of LED daytime running lights beneath while at the bottom there is a pair of air flaps that open when needed to provide cooling to the various pieces of componentry above. On the side a diagonal crease runs from high in the front doors down to the base of the rear ones with a neat lined panel at the bottom of the doors. The door handles sit flush against the doors and pop out when unlocked. The wheels are 20-inch alloys with a complex design. Throughout the exterior of the IONIQ 5 car there’s a small square design that’s most noticeable at the rear lighting panel with, as at the front, the name in the centre and rectangular taillights surrounding the turn indictors. INTERIOR The innovative design features continue inside the IONIQ 5 Comfort features include a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and an adjustable centre console. The

front seats are 12-way power adjustable and come with a ‘Relaxion’ (zero gravity) mode. Perfect for lying back and having a quick nap while the car is charging. IONIQ 5 has a three-metre wheelbase and that contributes to a level of rear legroom that you’d get in a luxury sedan. All seats are power adjustable with a memory function which can be set through the digital display screen. A vision glass roof with a powered sunshade is standard in both models. There are a number of “why didn’t someone think of that before?” features including a padded bar that runs the length of the interior doors instead of conventional handles, a glovebox that slides in and out and a small magnetic pad on the right edge of the display panel where you can pin notes, photos, etc. The charge point is at the rear driver’s side with both AC and DC sockets. The cables are located under the front bonnet including a very clever Vehicle to Load device which plugs into the car’s AC

port at one end and a standard power plug at the other allowing for multiple uses including providing power to another electric vehicle. During our week we found a practical use when we had a black-out at home but were able to plug in a kettle and have a welcome cuppa while we waited for the power to come back on. Amazing! Full charge through a standard domestic power point is upward of 24 hours. However, it’s likely that anyone buying an EV will invest around $2000 in a home charging wallbox. This will reduce charging time to around six hours while an ultra-fast charger can charge from 10 per cent to 80 per cent in around 18 minutes. We’re currently in the process of having a wallbox installed at our home office by JET Charge, Australia’s leading installer of EV charging equipment who partner with Hyundai as well as most other EV brands including Tesla, Volvo, Porsche and Audi. We’ll do a follow-up News story to report on how it all works out.

DRIVING Pressing the unlock button on the key fob opens the door handles which sit flush against the sides of the car. The driver’s seat is comfortable and supportive and the overall ambience of the interior sets the scene for an enjoyable travel experience. The driving position is fairly high even with the intrusion of the sunroof and visibility in all directions is excellent. The chunky steering feels great but does tend to obstruct the driver’s view of the instrument panel and the steering wheel-mounted gear selector. We love driving electric vehicles at the best of times but the IONIQ 5 takes that enjoyment to an even higher level. It cruises effortlessly and with such a large amount of instant torque on offer it can accelerate sharply when needed. Smart regeneration braking to extend range can be adjusted through steering wheel paddles including an i-Pedal feature which allows single-pedal driving.

There are three drive modes: Normal, Eco and Sport. The only downside with the IONIQ 5 is in the ride and handling especially through corners where we found ourselves backing off. Typically, most Hyundai and Kia models gain the benefit of local input into their cars’ tuning but that didn’t happen with the IONIQ 5, possibly because of Covid-19 travel restrictions. SUMMING UP Motoring journalists are inevitably asked what their favourite car is. After spending a week behind the wheel of the IONIQ 5 it has certainly earned a podium spot and, with the expected ride and handling tweaks, would likely move to the top spot. We love its exciting styling both outside and in its bright, spacious and airy interior. No review of an EV can be complete without reference to the price / range equation. All EVs are very expensive when compared to conventional vehicles, including hybrids. At $71,900 for the IONIQ 5 RWD and $75,900 for the AWD it sits at the higher end of the segment. Offsetting the high price, its potential range of up to 450 kilometres makes it more practical than many of its competitors. If you’re willing to trade-off a lower range for a more affordable price a base model IONIQ 5 will arrive here at a date to be advised later. Standard warranty is five years with unlimited kilometres. There’s an eight-year, 160,000 km battery replacement warranty,

Mitsubishi Outlander Exceed By CHRIS RILEY MITSUBISHI’S Outlander is back, bigger and boofier than ever - but all is not quite as it seems because the latest Outlander hides a Nissan X-Trail, the first time the Japanese brand has released a badgeengineered car. By the same token, it has just as much in common with the Renault Koleos, which also shares the same platform. It’s all a reflection of the fact Mitsubishi is part of the Nissan-

Renault-Mitsubishi Alliance and has been for a long time, although it rarely gets a mention. Outlander is priced from $34,490 plus on-roads. Our test vehicle, the Exceed, sits second from top and is priced from $47,990 plus on-roads. STYLING The cabin has an upmarket look and feel, with its quilted leather seat trim, piano black console surround and quilting on the doors too. The car is slightly longer than its predecessor, but more importantly wider and taller with a 36mm longer wheelbase that translates to more interior space -- especially more rear legroom but the third row is still extremely cramped and suitable only for small children

(how many times have I written those words). At the same time, the second-row slides forward to provide more room. The tall, skinny, third row headrests look like Easter Island statues, but fortunately can be stowed under floor when not required. Second row passengers also get their own air outlets as well as sun blinds for the side windows. There’s plenty of eye candy too, with a digital instrument cluster and attractively styled free-standing touchscreen that’s super responsive to the touch. But the instrument panel looks a little busy. It’s not visually apparent, but that’s the way it feels.

Whatever, it looks pretty damn good, probably the best iteration yet of what we’ve come to think of as the ‘Decepticon’ look. DRIVING Power output is more than the 2.4 it replaces, but still somewhat average in the context of today’s sophisticated hybrid and turbocharged setups. But performance is adequate providing you don’t have high expectations. In fact, it’s about as middle of the road as it gets, not surprising considering the car’s target market. Straddling the medium to large segments in terms of size, the previous model attracted young and growing families on a limited budget. They were chasing size and price, and the

■ IT’S BACK: Bigger and boofier than ever. Outlander nailed it. The new Outlander is a better looker, feels more upmarket and will have similar appeal. The last time we drove the Outlander Exceed it had a $42,990 price tag. But with prices from $5000 more, even for the entry ES
