    Mark what’s the difference between the namsan and the AWD ultimate With tech pack ?

    Heat pump – a system to take waste heat from the HV battery to warm the car, saving energy in cold weather. Pano roof, with electric blind Electrically powered rear bench Digital Side Mirrors – cameras on the outside, screens inside away from the weather. Brilliant in the rain, marginally better in the dark occasionally misting up in the mornings. That’s it, but they’re each expensive additions, it’s just whether you find the value in there.

     

    Personally I would take the Ioniq 5 Ultimate AWD over the Namsan editoin

    The heat pump only moves heat from the battery/motors and ambient but this only comes into play in moderate journeys, if you regularly do short distances it would have any benefit.

    the sun roof, is non opening, will make the cabin lighter, but you could choose the free lighter grey interior

    DSM a talking point at first, bit of a gimmick this is why most manufactures have not gone that way, they also stick out quite a bit when parked up (folded in) also the Namsan production was halted for a short period due to the DSM failures, the new facelift Ioniq 5 has got a newer version of the DSM due to the traits/failures of the current versions.

     

    You will also gain AWD instead of RWD, by this you will gain greater traction in all conditions over the RWD and not have the rear slip when cornering which the RWD can have in the wet, and the range reduction is very minimal.

    a brilliant car in terms of current EV’s

     

    Good luck with your choices
