BY Brad Anderson | Posted on

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 has the potential to be a game-changer for the South Korean car manufacturer and according to early reviews, it has done an excellent job with the EV. In this video, we get to learn about some of the intriguing features of the Ioniq 5 that we didn’t know about.

Presented by Doug DeMuro, the clip focuses solely on the exterior and interior of the Ioniq 5 as the YouTuber wasn’t allowed to drive this pre-production prototype. Nevertheless, it is identical to the car that customers will soon get their hands on.

One of the less-talked-about features of the Ioniq 5 is the fact that customers can buy an adapter that plugs into the charger port and has a normal household socket on the other side, meaning you can plug in any kind of household accessory and power it up using the Hyundai’s battery pack.

For example, located to the left of the digital gauge cluster is a magnetized area that you can stick stuff to. The Ioniq 5 also features a center console that moves backward and forwards. Hyundai has also equipped the EV with a column shifter not dissimilar to a Tesla.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Hyundai is investigating a subscription model to help convince buyers that the Ioniq 5 should be their next vehicle. It is understood that Hyundai will offer one- to three-month subscriptions that will cover the price of the car, insurance, and maintenance.
