Hyundai Ioniq 5N - When are EVs Like Ferraris?
In order to put the Hyundai Ioniq 5N in perspective, we went looking for a car that did similar things. We didn't expect the Ferrari Lusso to be so similar. Skeptical? So were we. Join us as we drive this EV CUV that's trying to be fun by being a mimic of gasoline cars. It's a strange comparison for a strange world.
