Extreme comfort
If I were to describe IONIQ 5 with one word, it would "comfort". The ride quality is superb. The suspension absorbs bumps from potholes and traffic calming measures. Acoustic isolation works great. AWD gives you confidence in tackling steep slopes. Instant acceleration makes joining traffic stress-free. It also drives well on motorways at higher speeds (tested up to 120km/h). Plethora of cameras makes parking easy despite the large turning circle. Apart from the latter, the only noticeable downsides are low aerodynamic efficiency (it's a brick, basically) and the infamous lack of rear wiper. Although, to be honest, I don't remember this being a real issue even once, not even during a Norwegian winter.
