Xpower vs Ioniq 5 N

[Anon70]

First head to head review I have seen and looks pretty comprehensive, only thing is it is all in German. I guess the only thing to say is that the XPower is half the cost of the 5N so if you factor that it, the MG is very good VFM

Started to watch it, but got bored. Even though I couldn't understand them. You pretty much knew what they where going to say. The N5 is better. It almost certainly is. BUT your never gonna get away from the Price difference. And thats it really, end of. The X Power is awesome value. Of course if you had 65 grand, you would probably go for the N5, but who has? And I still say it's not 35 grand better.
So these Video comparisons are pointless really.

That Hyundai looks like a chavs car with the cheesy red line along the sill and the front valance. Trying much too hard, a bit like a those lowered civics with drainpipe exhausts and blue lights underneath the car. Less is more and the MG wins hands down.

Also two totally different cars, one is a hatch and one is a compact crossover SUV .

Artificial exhaust note???? What are they thinking?

goes with the chav styling

I'd rather have the top spec normal Ioniq 5 over the N or the XPower

If it comes down in price on a lease in the next 10 months when my xpower lease ends then I'm having one

Fair enough. Your choice.

Don't like the looks of the Ioniq at all, looks like a common 'jelly mould' design and the N version looks like a chavved up civic, trying far too hard.

I drive past one nearly every day in a local dealership and I think it looks fantastic and more importantly the wife likes it so I'm half way there

Sorry but for me the 5n just looks a bloated boring looking thing and grossly over priced, for me the XP has way more style and panache. I can honestly say that even if they were the same price I would still buy the MG.

Mmmm, fair enough.
But have to say, if the 5n and the XP, where the same price, it would be the 5n.
As much as I love my XP.
It's obviously the BIG price difference, thats the deciding factor.
As it stands now there's no contest.

We have an I5 ultimate as the family car and the Xpower as the runabout. The I5 software feels a bit better finished and there are a few features missing on the Xpower (none of which are that much of an issue.) Main down side is I have had to take a few panels off to stick padding to stop rattles which the I5 definetly didn’t need.
Other than that, the Xpower holds its own on overall ‘feel’ in my opinion.

In terms of speed, I had a little play with a 5N the other day and sub 60 is not much in it, I followed him with no obvious gap opened up.

Would I like a 5N? Yes, can I justify the cost? No. I got our X 25K brand new which for the car I think is great.

There's certainly nothing to touch it for the price and if you run it on 20" rubber as I have done it's not just a srtaight liner either, It's the best upgrade I could have had, the handling is just brilliant, I've had 9 months of great "back road" fun with this car, if it gets out of shape as you power out of an apex the AWD is just magic, pulls it back on line and your off like a rocket - just love this car and looking forward to the day I actually own it, if I don't snuff it first!!
