00:00 Hey guys, my name's Zach Bates, we're here in the Ioniq 5N, and we're just doing a little

00:09 bit of a drive here just to see what it's like.

00:11 You know, first of all, it's an electric car, but they're kind of the first to implement

00:17 gears and a noise driving experience in, so as you can hear, going down the gears, it

00:28 is very, very cool.

00:30 So they've replicated the gears very well, you wouldn't even know if you didn't know

00:36 it was an electric car, so you get the retardation from the gearbox as you would in a combustion

00:44 and gearbox car, so it is very impressive.

00:48 I've been driving it for a little while now, and yeah, it doesn't get boring, you know,

00:57 you can definitely have a lot of fun with it and go home at night and not pay for fuel.

01:01 So look, it is, in terms of tech, very, very advanced, and it's kind of something I think

01:08 looking into the future can definitely change the way we have fun in automotive cars.

01:15 So look, I'm a big fan of it, always a big fan of the technology advancement, these sorts

01:23 of things, so yeah, I'm saying bring it on, it's a great, great little car.
