Title: Ioniq 5: saw one today and felt ill
Post by: Shambles on October 31, 2021, 21:58:21

I just cannot believe what I saw on the road today. What an absolute horror of a design.

My Ioniq (3) hybrid has great looks, and you'd expect later models to appeal in the same way.

Nope.

Does nothing for me.

As seen on the "Guy Martin: The World's Fastest Electric Car?"

I was also startled by the radical change of body shape, let alone style, when I saw it.

The diagonal crease through the doors looks very strange and the wheels wouldn't be my choice but other than that I think it's quite modern in it's retake of an earlier Golf GTi.
