2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Summary

What is it about single letters and performance cars? 

BMW has M, Volkswagen has R, Lexus has F, and with only 23 choices left Hyundai opted for N - which stands for Namyang, site of the brand’s sprawling proving ground and development centre in South Korea, and Nurburgring, the famous German racing circuit where its performance cars are fine-tuned.

And like BMW M Sport, VW R-Line and Lexus F Sport, the Korean giant has N Line as a ‘lite’ option. Sporty models that add a little more punch and visual flair without crossing the line into hardcore hot-rod territory. 

And this is one its latest examples, the pure-electric Ioniq 5 SUV in top-spec Epiq AWD trim and equipped with the N Line Option Pack as well as the tricky Digital Mirror Pack.

In this configuration it slots into the $90K price band, which means it has a lot to live up to in terms of performance, safety, driving dynamics, value and more. 

So, stay with us to see if this premium five-seater is the kind of sporty EV SUV that gets your heart racing.

2024 Kia EV6 Summary

Going electric has never been cooler and Kia has beefed up the line-up of its mid-sized EV6 so buyers have the same number of options as its fiercest competitor - the Tesla Model Y.

On test this week is the Air, which is the entry-grade model but it still boasts the same battery size and excellent charging capacity as its more powerful siblings. All packaged into a more affordable price-point but with popular rivals like the Model Y and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 as running mates, how does it compare?

My family of three have been family-testing it to find out for you!
