VERDICT THE Ioniq 5 was our Car of the Year in 2021, and although it has more rivals to worry about now, it remains one of the best EVs on the market. Its boxy, retro-futuristic looks are still attention-grabbing some time after the car’s launch, and underneath that striking body is a highly efficient electric powertrain.

It also comes with prices starting from £43,150, which translates to fairly high leasing costs, so even this entry-level SE Connect car with the smaller battery is £454 a month. It’s worth it, though.
