According to Grunitz, Volkswagen’s first electric GTI will be “a real go kart” to drive. He’s already driven a prototype, claiming, “It’s really amazing.”
You can see the concept pulls design features from VW’s classic GTI models. However, the company promises new tech will enable even more control and handling for that “go kart” like feel.
I was going to retort they’re similar sizes but the ioniq 5 is almost 20" longer, damn. My perception is so warped because everything is a god damn SUV and I get excited even when someone makes a large hatchback.
That’s what the first reviews of the Ioniq 5 all said, it’s proportioned like a hatchback but it’s quite a bit bigger in person. Which is a shame, I don’t need or want bigger. The VW Golf or Polo presents a nice niche that no one wants to fill in the North American market.
