I’m watching this because my 2025 Ioniq5 has a bad ICCU and has been at the dealer for two months with no schedule for replacement parts. I’m a bit sad to see that my best option is the one I picked but can’t have. And I’m curious why Edmonds picked a model with such a serious design flaw.

Upscale? Model Y? Because of the rear screen?

Intrigued on the Palisade hybrid. Seems to be a well appointed vehicle, fairly efficient for it's size, comfortable, can't argue the warranty, and priced well for it's class. I only have a wife and kid in my family but we do a fair bit of hauling friends around and a lot of driving/camping vacations and would use the space in the back even without need for a 3rd row most of the time. Might be on my list next time I go car shopping.

I’m assuming the others shown are runners up but that didn’t match the audio and graphics. I get it and it’s nice to see two (Tucson- IONIQ 5) from my driveway shown. 18:34
