Hyundai IONIQ 5 Reviews
Vehicle reviews by NZ reviewers.

"It was quite difficult not to like Hyundaiβs new UFO for the road. Some ergonomics could be improved, but overall, the IONIQ 5 is a very well sorted and stunning looking bit of a kit,"

"It has more angles than Lara Croft in 1996 and it's just as captivating... It's been a fun couple of days - it's been an epic day driving this thing down here to Taupo."

"The IONIQ 5 is very intelligent and looks eye catching at the same time. Those are the upsides but what about downsides? Well, I couldnβt really find any."
