0 -> EV comparison episode between the Hyundai IONIQ 5 versus the Nissan Ariya with Thomas

7.28 -> and Autogefühl in 4k full screen full length.

10.16 -> Let's go with the IONIQ 5.

12 -> Big design difference here.

13.16 -> We have a retro design and also this more compact hatch design.

18.68 -> This is the way... This is the way how the Volkswagen

22.236 -> ID.4 I think or ID.3 should have looked like

25.2 -> but Volkswagen will also change their design language very soon.

28.44 -> You've seen it now with the ID.2 concept.

31.52 -> How do you like it?

32.52 -> Tell me in the comments.

33.521 -> The Nissan Ariya completely different.

34.92 -> More this crossover van style.

37 -> You can already see how it's larger or higher in the front.

40.64 -> Also very interesting as for the daytime running

42.885 -> lights and these two cars have a lot in common

45.04 -> actually but they also have very interesting differences.

49.12 -> We'll cover all of that.

50.44 -> Twinkle twinkle little star.

52.44 -> Turning indicators.

53.441 -> That's where we are.

55.04 -> We can compare it here now.

56.6 -> The IONIQ 5, really cool how it replaces the daytime running light.

60.52 -> Same with the Nissan Ariya but here we also have cascading effect.

64 -> Really interesting.

65.001 -> Just visually you would say that the Ariya is the longer vehicle but it's not.

69 -> The Hyundai IONIQ 5 with 4.69m or 185 inches

72.815 -> is about 9cm or 4 inches longer than the Ariya

76.8 -> and also the wheelbase is way longer which is an advantage for the rear legroom.

82 -> However, disadvantage for the turning circle.

85.56 -> Sometimes when parking in and out, the IONIQ 5

88.147 -> kind of feels bulky, you know, turning circle

90.68 -> more than a meter wider than the one of the Nissan Ariya and in the side profile once

94.92 -> again compact hatch style for the IONIQ and here more this van crossover style for the

100.08 -> Ariya.

101.081 -> 20-inch wheels we have here which is not a good idea.

102.96 -> You should go for the smaller ones because the suspension in general is stiffer with

107.84 -> the Ariya here and then you rather need the smaller wheels to even that out to get best

113.4 -> comfort.

114.401 -> In the rear, I love once again this retro tech look of the IONIQ 5.

119.52 -> With Nissan Ariya, it's also a clean design indeed.

121.94 -> The rear glass is really slim so you need

124.556 -> this additional camera they're offering then

127.36 -> with a digital back mirror.

129.2 -> We'll take a look at that very soon.

131.24 -> As for the technology, you either have all-wheel

134.527 -> drive, so one motor per axle or with the IONIQ

137.68 -> 5, it would be rear-wheel drive.

139.68 -> With the Ariya, it would be front-wheel drive.

142.56 -> As for the efficiency, it's really interesting.

145 -> The Ariya is capable of a better efficiency.

148.96 -> It's in general a little bit more efficient than I can already tell you so far and in

152.82 -> ideal conditions, the consumption has a wider

156.085 -> span between these two but today, we'll also

159.28 -> do a mix, some Autobahn, also higher speeds,

162.06 -> colder temperatures and so on and then we'll

164.84 -> see what the overall consumption and real world range is.

168.44 -> The battery capacity does differ quite a lot

172.485 -> on paper like 77 kWh for the IONIQ 5 and 87

176.76 -> kWh for the Nissan Ariya but will it also have this wide difference in real life when

184.4 -> you also recharge the vehicle and for the net usable capacity, let's see about that

189.88 -> for example with recharging.

192.54 -> As for recharging, the IONIQ 5 leads the Nissan

195.163 -> Ariya here in the best possible figure in

197.46 -> best conditions, 18 minutes from 10% to 80% state of charge for the IONIQ 5, 35 minutes

203.9 -> for the Nissan Ariya.

205.54 -> Today we do a concise test 20% to 80% because

208.599 -> the IONIQ 5 pre-conditioning here stops at

211.46 -> about 90% state of charge that you don't empty

214.071 -> the battery before and so we will do these

216.46 -> values here in a concise charging test today

218.91 -> and also see if the battery pre-conditioning

221.36 -> for the IONIQ 5 worked and it directly starts

224.977 -> at over 190 kW so pre-conditioning worked

228.28 -> very well.

229.281 -> Look at that charging peak 224 kW, that's super super quick.

234.04 -> However here at over 55% the charging curve

237.77 -> drops but still quick at 130 kW but interesting

241.84 -> now it rose again to over 150 and now we had

245.36 -> about 18 minutes to 81% however it also took

248.88 -> like a minute to start up the whole thing.

251.16 -> And if you want to use some devices for for example photo shootings or for whatever you

256.28 -> need you can use the vehicle to load adapter

258.907 -> here for the hair dryer or for maybe like

261.36 -> a coffee machine.

262.84 -> What device would you actually put to the vehicle to load adapter?

265.44 -> Tell me in the comments.

266.72 -> And now to the Nissan Ariya where the charging

269.372 -> port is on the passenger side in the front

271.8 -> and we will also put this one from 19 or roughly 20% state of charge.

277.28 -> Let's see how much time we will take and we're

280.308 -> starting with some 110 kW and we see after

283.08 -> around 18 minutes the IONIQ 5 was at 80% and

287.218 -> charged 50 kWh so definitely quicker even

291.36 -> though this one here has a bigger battery

294.449 -> so see here 33 kWh in a time where the IONIQ

297.76 -> 5 went 50 kWh plus.

300.32 -> And 80% state of charge we reached at around

303.665 -> 28 minutes so it was 18 minutes with the IONIQ

307.16 -> 5 from 20 to 80% state of charge so 10 minutes

310.293 -> quicker with the IONIQ and the interesting

313.16 -> thing is just that the charged energy is

316.115 -> almost equal from 20 to 80% state of charge.

319.36 -> Interesting.

320.361 -> And here again not a high peak but still

323.342 -> quite good value then over the period of time.

326.76 -> And now let's take a look at the interiors starting with the IONIQ 5.

330.68 -> Inside of the doors somewhat soft touch on the

333.388 -> top and in the middle part is like a somewhat

336.04 -> soft again for your elbow but really straight and clean design.

341.4 -> Then the interior looks quite futuristic indeed.

345.2 -> The steering wheel has a mix of real buttons

347.546 -> and capacitive buttons, drive mode selector

349.84 -> on the steering wheel directly.

351.46 -> The seats come with fabric in base and then

353.684 -> in the US you get the high grade leatherette

355.96 -> but in Europe it is animal skin and I don't understand why they went for that decision

360.2 -> then in Europe.

361.201 -> Seating position I think it's fine.

363.24 -> Nothing special but nothing bad.

365.68 -> If we compare to the recent IONIQ 6 by the way

368.324 -> I found that you don't sit more comfortable

370.8 -> here so that was, you know, almost the same as for the seat ergonomics I feel.

376 -> Then it's also interesting that with this

378.52 -> button down here you can activate this sleeping

381.4 -> mode also for the driver.

383.16 -> For example if you wait at the charging station,

386.558 -> goodbye, hello, so you can really relax then

389.68 -> while charging and best thing is you can do the same function here for the passenger

395.24 -> seat.

396.6 -> That might be the most fun option then in this vehicle.

402.16 -> Interior overview of the IONIQ 5.

404.08 -> This dual screen setup, white background as a contrast, not sure if that's too clever

410.52 -> but overall really clean.

412.08 -> In the lower part you still have a manual volume

414.87 -> knob and the climate unit is also directly

417.32 -> accessible.

418.48 -> However, these are some touch fields and with

421.6 -> this one here, this hotkey warmer, you access

424.72 -> the seat heating view.

426.52 -> This is then the menu where you can set the seat heating or the heated steering wheel

429.76 -> also seat cooling if you have that or reset it right here.

434.24 -> Rest of the infotainment system, this is the main menu.

436.32 -> Good overview but it is not that quick especially

439.583 -> the car internal GPS map which you will need

442.52 -> for the pre-conditioning because you have to set a charging station then.

446.92 -> This is the first thing you have to do.

449.44 -> Then you can pick the option here, battery in condition mode.

452.52 -> This has to be checked.

454.64 -> And Apple CarPlay, Android Auto integration with cable.

457.96 -> It's actually quite nice.

459.84 -> Most of the time you would use this.

461.52 -> And when you have a charging station set in

463.788 -> the GPS, then you see this small symbol, this

466.16 -> heating spiral symbol.

468.14 -> That means the battery preheating is activated.

471.22 -> For the battery pre-conditioning, next to have

473.674 -> a charging station set in the car internal

475.92 -> GPS as destination, you need more than 40

478.944 -> kilometers or 25 miles left and state of charge

482.4 -> of the battery needs to be 20% or more.

485.84 -> So by that, they want to prevent that you

488.369 -> empty the battery with the pre-conditioning.

491.08 -> Digital instruments, easy and clear to read.

493.24 -> You can change the middle view here a little bit what you want to see.

497.4 -> And you can also get this head-up display.

499.76 -> Not ideal, the charging cable for the CarPlay,

502.267 -> Android Auto connection has to be here.

504.64 -> Then you can either put your smartphone in there, but that's not ideal.

507.32 -> So rather have a long cable because wireless

509.733 -> not possible and then have your smartphone

512.04 -> right here.

513.041 -> Yeah, really not ideal at all.

515.48 -> What's cooler that you can slide this whole middle console forward or backward and you

519.44 -> have more space here or not.

521 -> And you have charging possibilities here, inductive charging pad as well.

524.72 -> And then here, more space underneath this armrest and you can also slide this open.

530.68 -> So really vast amount of space in the middle console.

533.88 -> In the rear, I made space because I have slid this middle console forward now.

539.48 -> Then inside of the doors, we have also

541.933 -> soft-touch materials almost everywhere basically.

545.08 -> Then we also can get the rear seat heating.

548.04 -> When I get inside and see to the seat as I'm

550.688 -> driving, we still have some legroom left.

553.16 -> So good offering of space.

554.48 -> But you see it's, you know, it's laying quite

556.683 -> backward, but I maybe could move it a little

558.84 -> bit more upright.

560.44 -> Headroom with 189 or 6'2".

563.12 -> That's okay.

564.121 -> Also in the rear, the rear end is quite low.

565.8 -> You see it here also here how high my legs are compared to the seat, but it's actually

569.68 -> fine.

570.681 -> This is also equipped with the electric adjustment for the rear bench.

573.08 -> You can slide it forward or backward and then

575.791 -> you can also adjust the back part here manually.

578.68 -> Interesting also that from the driver's seat,

581.256 -> you can also control the rear with these buttons

584 -> and then you can slide this one or the other part forward or backward.

588.56 -> And specially for the charging the cables, you

590.889 -> also have a small frunk here in the IONIQ 5.

593.12 -> Trunk opening, either the automatic one when

594.674 -> you stand here with the key in your pocket

596.16 -> and then wait a couple of seconds or press it in the lower part.

598.96 -> 530 liters, bigger than the Nissan Ariya.

601.6 -> The width here is a little bit less than a

604.378 -> meter or 40 inches and the length also a little

607.48 -> bit less than a meter or 40 inches, but that's well usable.

610.92 -> Just the height here underneath the cover is

613.21 -> really shallow here, so I would maybe just

615.4 -> put it out, but the total height here is

618.031 -> actually fine with some, yeah, a little more

620.92 -> than 75 centimeters or 30 inches, but again,

623.791 -> just a problem that it's shallow underneath

626.6 -> this one here.

627.601 -> Yeah, I think when you take it out, you're actually fine.

630.96 -> Then you can also fold the seats, but there's

633.532 -> no possibility here, so you have to go around.

636.16 -> Then you're here at 180 in meters or 71 inches to the seats as I would be driving.

641.92 -> And under the trunk cover, if there's space

644.305 -> for charging cables, well, when you lift this

646.8 -> one totally up, then they're stuck underneath.

650.6 -> That's not a very practical solution, isn't it?

653.08 -> Then rather in the frunk, I guess.

654.48 -> I love this detail.

655.84 -> Look at how they covered the side of the trunk

658.794 -> cover in felt, so when you then put it back

661.56 -> to position, then you don't leave scratches all over the vehicle.

665.6 -> Good idea.

666.601 -> The Nissan Ariya gets a very slim key fob.

669.12 -> Well done, actually.

670.121 -> And also, real door handles.

672.48 -> Actually, I prefer the real stuff.

674.6 -> Yeah, do you as well?

676.6 -> Then door closing sound, very solid.

679.48 -> Inside of the doors, here with very nice microfiber.

683.04 -> These are the optional animal skin seats.

685.08 -> However, there are also microfiber seats available,

687.659 -> and we had them in the bright trim, but they're

690.04 -> also available in the black trim, and they are

692.746 -> also the ones to go for besides base fabric

695.28 -> seats also available.

697.16 -> Interesting here, the front seating position,

699.64 -> whereas the Ioniq 5 is a longer vehicle, this

702.12 -> one here feels longer and bigger.

704.36 -> So, yeah, a very interesting contradiction.

707.4 -> Seating-wise, the comfort I feel is better in the Ioniq 5.

710.4 -> However, comparing here now the animal skin

712.377 -> versus the animal skin seats, the microfiber

714.4 -> seats in the Ariya were also actually way better than these ones here.

718.24 -> I tested them in an earlier review.

720.56 -> Seating wheel, up and down, in and out, but I feel it doesn't go down enough, at least

725.76 -> for tall persons.

727.88 -> Interesting is that this middle console here,

729.94 -> you can slide it all the way forward for most

732 -> rear legroom for the middle seat, but you can also slide it backward here.

736.56 -> Then you maybe, you know, it fits better with

738.797 -> your elbow or something, or then you have

740.84 -> more space here in the front.

742.84 -> Interior overview of the Nissan Ariya has

745.562 -> more a wow effect, even cleaner, really nice

748.48 -> with this matte wood console here, and the

751.806 -> climate control is kind of integrated in there.

755.52 -> It looks amazing, is backlit, but it's not that

759.38 -> easy to control, not that intuitive because

762.92 -> when do you hit it or when not, you don't really know.

766.4 -> Real knob here still for the volume, for example,

769.399 -> and I love this microfiber covering here,

771.92 -> and here is one unit for both screens actually.

775.52 -> Well, these black pads here, they collect a little fingerprints, but these here in the

780.56 -> middle, they are still real buttons and scrollers.

786 -> The digital instruments do their job, but

788.838 -> also the visualization, I think, is just not

791.88 -> really up to date, is it?

793.52 -> Then you can also get a head-up display.

796.791 -> Apple CarPlay here, also available wireless, and

799.04 -> Android Auto is, of course, also available, and this is the main menu, and yeah, that

804 -> looks, I don't know, I think the 90s have called and want their infotainment system

808.56 -> back.

809.561 -> However, here, what is really interesting is

813.356 -> that the GPS map is actually quite responsive,

817.32 -> and here in the options view, you go to EV, and there you can also activate the battery

823.16 -> heater for the preconditioning.

825.16 -> Now, see the rest of the heating controls, really complicated to do, for example, this

829.44 -> seat heating, I think there are just too many steps to do that.

834.52 -> The normal back mirror, well, the view to the rear is limited, so here, this camera

838.96 -> view makes sense.

840.64 -> Shifting lever, definitely more beautiful and easier to control in the IONIQ 5 here,

844.88 -> it's a little bit bulky, this whole form, I think.

849.2 -> These two friends here, they open the special compartment.

853.64 -> Well, you can't make that up, but it is true, electronically folds out.

861.2 -> I have no idea why, but there's one advantage

863.505 -> to it here when it's closed and you shut off

865.76 -> the vehicle, no one can open it.

867.52 -> The optional panoramic roof is gladly also one you can actually open.

871.84 -> Rear seating is decent here, also in Nissan Ariya, legroom, you definitely have more in

876.64 -> the IONIQ 5, it's also a longer vehicle.

879.32 -> Here it gets close, but it's still fine, and

881.871 -> the comfort in seating is also actually okay.

884.48 -> In the middle part, you can fold down this for cup holders, but they're not adaptive.

888.8 -> And here, also it folds down.

890.44 -> So build quality-wise, I mean, at the inside

893.248 -> of doors, also nice here with the microfiber,

896.12 -> for example, and also in the back part here of the seats, so it has pros and also cons.

901.68 -> The middle part, you have seat heating here also and USB-C charging.

905.72 -> Well, in both here, the outside seats really

908.678 -> close with the head, also counts here for

911.44 -> the middle seating that is even closer.

913.8 -> Nissan Ariya trunk, actually way wider than the meter or 40 inches, that's good.

919 -> Length, like 95 centimeters or 38 inches, so in

922.635 -> the dimensions comparable, liter figure-wise,

926.12 -> it's actually less, 415 for the all-wheel drive

928.392 -> model, a little bit more here for the front-wheel

930.76 -> drive model, and for the charging cables, you can lift up this here, and they make it

935.44 -> that you have an even loading surface.

937.72 -> So liter figure-wise, it's way less, but,

940.755 -> you know, from the usable aspect, not so much

944.08 -> different.

945.081 -> The trunk is shorter, so it's 177 centimeters

948.556 -> or around 69 inches for the total length of

951.88 -> the trunk.

952.881 -> The limitation is really in height, but just

955.246 -> when this bottom floor is mounted, when you

957.56 -> remove it, it's comparable.

959.52 -> Frunk? No, there is none, just equipment here underneath.

967 -> Welcome to Thomas' comparison driving lounge, starting with the Hyundai Ioniq 5.

972.64 -> We put it here to the sports mode, quickest

975.901 -> acceleration, soon more details on that as well, official

980.2 -> figure 0 to 100 is around 5 seconds, so almost

983.092 -> a second quicker than the Nissan Ariya, but

985.8 -> let's see how it goes here from 50 kilometers

988.084 -> an hour, accelerating onto the motorway.

990.12 -> Let's go!

997.12 -> 130.

1001.88 -> 160.

1006.88 -> That's 180.

1007.881 -> Let's see if we can reach top speed here.

1011.28 -> There we go.

1013.28 -> 189 kilometers an hour, and still reasonably silent in here.

1018.44 -> So this, by the way, is speed limited, just counting between different time period.

1023.28 -> At the moment, it's unlimited.

1025.76 -> But here, top speed, it still feels really good, actually.

1029.36 -> So surprisingly good, and neither loads of

1031.621 -> the huge or super sporty vehicle or something

1034.04 -> We're getting off the throttle.

1036.12 -> And by the way, here, the consumption at this

1039.779 -> top speed, including the acceleration, yet

1043.2 -> about 60 kilowatt hours per 100 kilometers, so

1046.864 -> that's like triple the normal average consumption.

1051.24 -> Yeah, but here now, let's go to a more reasonable motorway speed.

1055.8 -> Let's have this.

1056.801 -> Is this the RS Q8?

1059.56 -> I think so.

1060.56 -> We'll probably take...

1061.561 -> Is it one?

1063.56 -> Let's see.

1064.56 -> Yes.

1065.561 -> No, it's an SQ8, not RS Q8, but SQ8.

1069.84 -> So here at 130 kilometers an hour, so 70-80 miles an hour, once again, it feels really

1076.12 -> nice and settled on the motorway.

1077.96 -> So it feels actually agile, although it's not too small, but it also feels planted on

1084.64 -> the motorway.

1085.641 -> Difference to the recently driven IONIQ 6, by the way, is that the IONIQ 6 somehow, I

1090.56 -> think it drives better indeed because it's sitting a little bit lower, it's a little

1093.48 -> bit calmer.

1094.481 -> Also, as for the shaking up effects here, the car does shake up, normally, when I'm

1098.76 -> going some left and right and some lane change here.

1101.56 -> Yeah, I mean, it's not too bad.

1103.96 -> The suspension, I think, is also a good compromise

1106.043 -> between sportiness and comfort, so overall

1108.64 -> happy with the 19-inch wheels mounted here,

1110.767 -> but it's not too uncomfortable also when there

1113.04 -> are some bumps in the road.

1114.24 -> I think overall, they found a very, very good

1116.605 -> setup, but again, I think the IONIQ 6 drives

1118.92 -> better when I have the direct comparison here now.

1121.64 -> Here, of course, it's way more practical with

1124.483 -> the separate opening hatch if you want to

1127.08 -> carry something, people, also family use, and so on.

1131.72 -> That's where this vehicle here has a big advantage indeed.

1135.72 -> Then, comparing to the Ariya, yeah, the Ariya

1138.865 -> feels a little bit bulkier in driving, I would

1142.08 -> say just from the first impression, but, of

1144.055 -> course, we'll soon compare it once again when

1146.12 -> we drive the Ariya.

1147.6 -> As for recuperation, you can set different levels.

1150.44 -> Level 0 would be the little throttle just rolling,

1153.828 -> 1, 2, 3, and then you can also, at the speed

1156.76 -> to set the I-Pedal, then you have a strong deceleration when you get off the throttle.

1162.4 -> It doesn't have any efficiency effect.

1164.64 -> It's just about what you prefer, actually, when you drive the vehicle.

1169.4 -> The I-Pedal is not saved when you restart the

1172.066 -> vehicle, but it's basically reset on level

1174.56 -> 3, 2, 1.

1175.68 -> You can actually have when you restart the

1177.552 -> vehicle again, but the I-Pedal is always being

1179.6 -> resetted, so, yeah, that's not the biggest advantage.

1183.12 -> You know, once again, lane change feels really nice.

1186.24 -> Is it a good long-term vehicle?

1188.24 -> Well, the efficiency long-term on the high-speed

1191.533 -> motorway is not that good, actually, so, that's

1194.76 -> better in the city.

1196.6 -> Here also not the best drag coefficient.

1198.44 -> That's where the IONIQ 6 would have an advantage

1200.905 -> once again, and the seating comfort here is

1203.12 -> also not bad, but it's also not the best seat ergonomics I have experienced.

1207.88 -> When you went for the fabric version of the seats, they give you a softer cushioning in

1213.24 -> the top part of the seat, so, they are actually

1215.963 -> then also better as for the long-term experience.

1218.8 -> We'll also check out if this is better than with the Nissan Ariya.

1223.28 -> And now to the agile characteristics where we switch the motorways here.

1227.92 -> In the sport mode, by the way, I still have more feedback from the steering.

1231.84 -> Yeah, whoa, it doesn't feel that sporty, actually,

1235.695 -> so, definitely not the emphasis of this vehicle,

1239.4 -> especially as for suspension, but for the

1241.62 -> normal setup, that's actually a wise choice.

1244 -> Here, by the way, in the normal driving mode, the steering is softer.

1249.08 -> Would I say it's a lot of fun to drive?

1252.48 -> Not the sportiest driving fun, I would say,

1255.07 -> but, again, not the emphasis of this vehicle

1257.72 -> also doesn't have to be, but also in the normal driving mode, it goes really quick.

1262.68 -> So, the thing is, I talked to the engineer

1266.157 -> with the IONIQ 6 recently, and the power curves

1270.04 -> are different, like the sport mode curve is like this, and the normal is like this, but

1274.88 -> the peak power, he told me, is always the same.

1278.76 -> Let's just try if you can really feel the

1280.586 -> difference if we do like some from 100 kilometers

1282.76 -> an hour, like an acceleration.

1284.88 -> Now in normal mode, let's do like 100 to 130.

1288 -> Let's go.

1290 -> That's it.

1293.56 -> Then let's do it in sport mode one more time, and let's also peak it through.

1299.6 -> So, let's go.

1302.32 -> So, we're taking now again for 100 kilometers an hour.

1306.12 -> Let's go.

1308.12 -> That felt quicker, didn't it?

1315.52 -> We have to see the time code if that really changed.

1322.88 -> And now to the Nissan Ariya, we also switch to the sport mode.

1326.52 -> It gives me more throttle in the pedal, definitely,

1329.597 -> and let's see acceleration from 70 kilometers

1332.32 -> an hour.

1334.744 -> 100.

1338.668 -> 130.

1346.2 -> So, this is here the front wheel drive version, so not 100% comparable.

1349.52 -> We could not get an all-wheel drive model to compare yet here, but Brian could also

1354.28 -> test one at the driving event.

1356.52 -> So, even if you have the all-wheel drive model,

1358.967 -> then the Ariya is a second slower than the

1361.16 -> all-wheel drive model of the Ioniq 5.

1363.72 -> And here, this one then is about 2.5 seconds

1366.739 -> slower in the acceleration, 0 to 100 kilometers

1369.96 -> an hour or 0 to 62 miles an hour.

1373 -> But the rest, of course, will be absolutely comparable.

1375.92 -> Actually, I have the feeling that the Nissan

1378.412 -> Ariya is a little bit more silent here on the

1380.96 -> motorway.

1381.961 -> We also saw that in the rear, even you have

1384.346 -> dual insulation glass, so that's pretty cool.

1386.84 -> You more get this van traveling feeling here

1389.908 -> with the Nissan Ariya, whereas the Ioniq 5

1392.84 -> feels just more compact.

1395.48 -> So, it definitely feels more agile.

1399.48 -> The Nissan Ariya, I mean, these all have the low center of gravity.

1403.84 -> So, a lane change here, for example, also

1406.678 -> feels good and calm and collected and so on,

1409.72 -> not problem at all.

1411 -> The suspension, actually, shakes up less than with the Ioniq 5.

1416.68 -> So, that's kind of the strange thing, you know.

1419.2 -> The Ioniq 5 feels sportier dimension-wise, but

1423.117 -> the Nissan Ariya feels sportier suspension-wise.

1427.4 -> Hmm, what to make of that?

1431.08 -> Yeah, that's a tough thing, actually.

1433.76 -> Steering here, by the way, is more artificial.

1437.92 -> So, here, not so much is happening, but there

1441.703 -> is some effect, but then it gets kind of a

1445.24 -> lot of resistance to a left and right, but not in a natural way, you know.

1450 -> So, the steering here, to me, feels more artificial in the Ioniq 5.

1455.24 -> Seating position in general, you see it even while driving here.

1460.4 -> Once again, I have hardly any room above my head, so for tall people, let's imagine,

1466.04 -> you know, I put my spine all the way up and

1467.995 -> then there's like a bump coming or something.

1470.04 -> I might even hit my head at the ceiling, you know.

1474.12 -> So, for tall people, not ideal.

1475.96 -> Also, the seats here, especially in this animal skin trim, pretty stiff and so on.

1481.2 -> You have more comfort in the microfiber seats or the base fabric seats.

1484.48 -> We've tested them earlier also at a different review.

1487.28 -> So, that is definitely helping out with this

1490.049 -> vehicle, but still remains with the fact that

1492.88 -> it's not ideal for tall people overall.

1494.88 -> You can maybe put the seat, you know, like the back part a little bit more back, then

1499.84 -> it's, you know, that is definitely helping you.

1502.48 -> So, but from a whole driving feeling, it more feels like this straight cruiser.

1508.04 -> This is really an electric vehicle that most

1511.59 -> reminds me both visually and also in driving

1515.14 -> of a classic van, actually.

1517.5 -> So, yeah, that's really astonishing.

1520.5 -> But suspension setup, I don't feel it's

1523.16 -> uncomfortable with this little bit harder setup.

1526.42 -> The lane change is, I think, better with the Ariya.

1528.82 -> So, that's the one exception where the Ariya

1531.52 -> is better steering feel and than just how like

1534.34 -> that like the rule feel from for this sporty driving.

1539.06 -> That is then better with the Ioniq 5.

1541.98 -> The astonishing thing to me is that, yeah,

1544.13 -> they're all fishing in more or less the same

1546.38 -> segment, but they feel indeed really different in driving.

1551.86 -> As for regenerative braking, you either have

1554.489 -> the E-pedal off and then you lift your foot

1557.06 -> off the accelerator pedal and you have rather

1559.644 -> rolling, a little bit of deceleration, but

1562.06 -> then you can also set the E-pedal here, this middle

1565.18 -> console, and then you have strong recuperation.

1568.14 -> And it rather tends to do some one-pedal driving feeling.

1571.3 -> So, there's really a strong recuperation then

1574.494 -> and you can basically just choose what suits

1577.62 -> you better.

1579.26 -> It won't change anything of the efficiency because when you have the E-pedal off and

1583.34 -> then you can just use the brakes and then also recuperation is happening.

1587.42 -> By the way, this digital back mirror, I

1589.965 -> usually a friend of normal mirrors, but here in

1593.02 -> this case, since the view to the rear is

1595.659 -> really limited, it is kind of a helpful thing

1598.62 -> indeed.

1599.621 -> Then, you know, changing the motorways actually feels good.

1604.14 -> So, yeah, it feels really nice as for the suspension.

1608.34 -> So, no body roll at all without losing too much comfort, but just steering feel is a

1615.66 -> little bit off.

1617.62 -> My favorite combination would be the suspension

1621.62 -> of the Ariya and the steering feel of the IONIQ

1625.7 -> 5.

1626.701 -> That would, to me, be the best choice overall.

1629.46 -> So, next motorway right here.

1631.62 -> We can do one more acceleration and see also

1634.085 -> what the lane change, also while accelerating.

1639.14 -> You also heard this acoustic blind spot monitor warning.

1642.58 -> Do you have enough power with the front-wheel-driven version only?

1646.54 -> Yeah, when accelerating onto the motorway, that's more than enough power indeed.

1651.98 -> The all-wheel drive model, of course, gives

1653.818 -> you more punch if you really want or need it,

1655.74 -> but you will find here.

1658.18 -> So, some electric vehicles, when they have

1661.209 -> the single motor version only, maybe they're

1664.38 -> not quick enough, but for most and also including

1667.555 -> the Ariya here, the single motor version would

1670.54 -> also be definitely enough.

1673.06 -> Remember that also one crucial difference is

1675.365 -> that the Ariya in this all-wheel-drive spec

1677.62 -> also is really, really expensive, and that

1681.321 -> might also play a role in our very final verdict

1685.54 -> indeed.

1686.541 -> One more word to the assistant systems.

1688.54 -> I have now set the steering assist to on,

1691.224 -> and here the car is being kept in the center

1694.1 -> of the lane, so that's actually a very smooth transition overall.

1697.66 -> I really like that, and you can always deactivate

1701.122 -> these systems here in the instruments also

1704.1 -> while driving.

1705.101 -> It's actually not too hard to do that.

1712.22 -> Now the question is, which one would you take home?

1715.26 -> Which one would I take home?

1717.02 -> Well, they do come close in a lot of ways.

1720.42 -> Design-wise, of course, not at all.

1722.7 -> There I clearly would decide for the Ioniq 5 from the exterior design.

1727.7 -> Interior design, I love both, really futuristic from the inside.

1732.02 -> In the Ariya, you shouldn't be too tall, so I still fit.

1735.46 -> If you're taller than me, not a good idea

1737.931 -> actually, but both are very well usable also

1740.58 -> for the space from the inside.

1742.98 -> The Ioniq 5, due to the longer wheelbase, a

1745.199 -> little bit more flexibility as for the legroom.

1747.94 -> Well, but then driving like EV-wise and so on, the thing is that the Ioniq 5 has the

1753.82 -> advantage with charging.

1755.58 -> It's just so much more quicker in fast charging.

1759.02 -> On the other hand, the Nissan Ariya has a little

1761.94 -> bit bigger battery, but we found out in charging

1764.86 -> that the net usable battery difference is not as large as the numbers would suggest.

1770.98 -> So, at the end of the day, also efficiency-wise,

1774.28 -> the Nissan Ariya is a little bit more efficient,

1777.58 -> but there's also not again that large of a difference.

1780.94 -> So, we end up with both about 22 kWh on 100 km.

1786.1 -> That's about 2.8 miles per kWh.

1788.62 -> The Nissan Ariya is usually a little bit better

1791.346 -> than that, and the Ioniq 5 a little bit worse

1793.96 -> than these values.

1796.22 -> Together with a little bit bigger battery, the Nissan Ariya comes like 430, 440 km, so

1802.5 -> like 260, 270 miles, whereas the Ioniq 5 more or less 400 km or 250 miles.

1809.22 -> Not a large difference at all, then, I have to say, and so it comes down to the price

1814.34 -> difference or, you know, what you like better

1816.76 -> as for the design, and price difference-wise,

1819.18 -> the Nissan Ariya is clearly more expensive.

1821.94 -> So, at the same price, I would just pick on design or preference, but since there is a

1828.5 -> large price difference, the Ioniq 5 then wins the overall comparison.

1833.9 -> What do you think?

1834.901 -> Leave me your comments right there and also tune in to more comparison episodes.
