I've found an Australian video on YouTube of a RHD Ioniq 5 and I think shows the interior in better detail than the UK videos
The ranges automakers provide can vary quite a bit. Encouragingly, Hyundai estimates have been pretty good with lots of owners exceeding them. Of course, we won't know how close the Ioniq 5 in particular is until we try it, but I'm optimistic it will be reasonably accurate. But also, yes, these ranges drop in colder weather. Luckily, though, the UK doesn't get Canada-like cold so much.Right I may have my answer courtesy of Google on how long to charge at a 50kw with figures for a Tesla which maybe be similar to the Ioniq 5 charge speed.....
PUBLIC charging times for a Tesla Model 3 with a 55 kWh battery on a 50 kW charger: From 0% to 80% on a 50 kW public charger: 53 minutes From 25% to 80% on a 50 kW public charger: 36 minutes From 50% to 80% on a 50 kW public charger: 20 minutes.
So 20 minutes minimum to get a decent top up for a longer journey, I go up to the Lake District a lot and have found out that Booths supermarkets have Instavolt 50kw chargers so that's me happier. I just think that if you are going on a long journey you would charge up at home and then half way down the M6 you want to top up but there are no Ionity 350kw chargers to be found, so as Restyler says his closest is the same as mine in Blackburn, there may be a reason for this but I can't figure it out they should be on the motorways where most long journeys take place, just in case our North American friends don't know our motorways are your Interstate highways and the M6 is our longest at 226.7 miles and there is one Ionity charger at Gretna Green at the border with Scotland and then one off the M6 at Blackburn then none until you leave the M6 and join the M1 and continue to Milton Keynes 177 miles from Blackburn where you have to leave the motorway to reach your next Ionity, now I know they say there's a 250 mile range with the batteries but that is under perfect conditions with perfect driving so I don't think Restyler and myself will be taking much advantage of the 2 year free charging with Ionity.
Michael Knight has already posted Hyundai's showroom video for the non-project 45
So here's the specific version for those who've ordered the Project 45
No, its even simpler:-Restyler mine was a link in an email from Hyundai and the video was the virtual showroom for Project 45 buyers I watched except with an introduction from a lady and no Q&A session at the end you probably got a link to the one you took part in with an introduction from a man, I think they may have polished up their act for yours![]()
Domenick your right I got my Ioniq SE Premium Hybrid up to 99mpg fuel efficiency once never managed to do it since, 99 is the highest it could go as there are only 2 digits but usually its around 65-70mpg. I wonder if they will have a Project 45 for the USA and Canada or was it just for Europe as I can't find any mention of it elsewhere and in the Australian video I posted nothing was mentioned about Project 45. Oh well only around two months to wait until they arrive in the UK and find out how efficient they are and how good they look in the flesh.The ranges automakers provide can vary quite a bit.

It is a shame about the lack of 350-kW chargers there. Lots of room for improvement. I'd like to see automakers themselves step up and give their customers the confidence to buy their EVs. Hyundai is doing it in South Korea, so it's not impossible to think they might consider expanding that effort to other markets.
Ha ha I've just received another email with a link to the video you posted, I think they need a new IT teamNo, its even simpler:-
They uploaded both versions of the videos a few seconds apart, but linked to the non-45 version

Domenick, according to Asian Petrolhead when you get the Ioniq 5 in North America it will have the option for a long range 77.4KW battery which should give you quite a few more milesThe ranges automakers provide can vary quite a bit.

How many Ioniq 5s will be languishing unsold in dealer back-lots because they didn't make a £34,995 version? Perhaps when they've made more than people will engage in fisticuffs to get they'll offer a special £34,995 deal.If only they'd priced the base model £2K lower at £34,995, it would have been eligible for the UK EV grant & totally nailed the competition!
One thing I'm a bit confused about regarding the spec:-
What's the difference between "Tinted vs Privacy" Rear Windscreen?
