Have got about 6000km on my 58kWh Prestige.Good:- economy (using i-Pedal), getting 13-14kWh/100km translating to more than 400km of range on a full charge- tech: all the safety systems work well enough and can be tuned so as not to be intrusive. The adaptive cruise control and auto steering work very nicely making expressway journeys much more relaxing. Head up display is great to have and adds to safety as you can keep your eyes on the road.- space: really good headroom and legroom for all passengers. Width is also broad so 3 can sit in the 2nd row without issues.- memory seats are very useful for the 2 drivers in my family and the ventilated seats are very nice in hot weather- Bluelink app works well and is useful- remote controlled fwd/backward movement of the car is quite easy to do and very useful for tight parking spaces. You can now get in and out of the car with dignity rather than pirouetting to squeeze into for a car without this feature.- interior materials, design and glass roof are feel luxurious enough for a car of this price range- charging speed is good enough, never found it to be too slow for me- cabin noise is fairly well insulated for a car of this price range- Regen mode options are great and will drivers who like to coast or drivers who like 1-pedal driving will all be happy with the carCould be improved:- suspension could be a little softer for my taste. Tyres have to be run at high psi due to vehicle weight so suspension has to compensate for that too- power is fine for Spore roads, but will need more horsepower for regular trips to Msia (have to get cat B)- software update to allow wireless Android auto and Apple Carplay still pending- boot could have more hooks and cubbies for utility

Verdict
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 emerges not just as another electric iteration of the brand but a true milestone in automotive history. What completes the unique identity of this Ioniq 5, apart from its electric prowess, is the fact that it is meticulously crafted in Singapore.

Boasting a stated range of 384km, it's clear the Ioniq 5 has been carefully tailored to the needs of the local market. With 350Nm of torque at its disposal, this electric SUV effortlessly overcomes its substantial 2,015kg kerb weight, creating an impression of power well beyond its 143bhp rating. Navigating through traffic in an Ioniq 5 is a breeze, thanks to intuitive features such as paddle shifters for quick adjustments to regenerative braking levels and a responsive steering wheel.

Inside the Ioniq 5, a harmonious marriage of technology and aesthetics unfolds. Twin displays, one of which is a touchscreen, seamlessly handle driver and infotainment information. The inclusion of physical controls, including a coveted volume knob for the sound system, adds a touch of familiarity to the modern interior, meticulously arranged for functionality and visual appeal.

The Ioniq 5 redefines spaciousness with a skateboard-like layout characteristic of dedicated EV platforms. Its lengthy wheelbase translates into an expansive rear legroom, creating a sense of openness within the cabin. The commodious 527-litre boot further amplifies its practicality, seamlessly blending form with function.

On the outside, clean lines and pixelated lights, reminiscent of 8-bit computer graphics, infuse the car with a distinctive character. Bold slashes across its flanks not only enhance its aesthetic appeal but also capture attention with a magnetic allure.

In every facet, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 transcends its role as a mere electric vehicle, standing as a symbol of automotive innovation that propels us into an electrifying future.
