In this episode, Jason and Vin take the wheel of the brand-new 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, the world's first electric hot-hatch. With its Giugiaro-inspired retro looks and 641-hp dual-motor powertrain, the first electric N product is fast and beautiful.

But is it something that true automotive enthusiasts could live with? Is it time for an electric hot-hatch? And more important, do Hyundais' gimmicky modes detract from the car's overall appeal?

What's perhaps most surprising is how the guys feel about N e-Shift, a sound- and g-force simulation of a traditional ICE powertrain. You'll have to watch to understand.

Make sure to stay tuned for Jason's trademark drifting and sliding around the famed Laguna Seca racetrack — with unfiltered observations and a couple laughs.

    Welcome to 1RUN, our newest experimental car-review show. In this show, veteran automotive journalist Jason Cammisa teams up with Ex-Hoonigan Internet personality Vin Anatra to review the newest and latest cars from the true enthusiast perspective. Like it? Love it? (Hate it?) Let us know, we'd love your feedback.
  • @ghepardogts
    As Vin said, “They had to work a lot harder at making a performance enthusiast car than any other brand has to work.” They definitely over delivered.

    If Jason Cammisa reviewed a phonebook from 1950, it would make for a great video. I never miss a chance to watch anything this guy does. Him reviewing cars is just icing on the cake for me.
  • @ttcjr9970
    Ioniq 5 owner here. That constant beeping is the lane departure warning set to alert. Whoever let you borrow it for the video, set it to alert you when you drift towards either side of the road. They wanted to make sure you stay inside the lanes.

    As a grown ass man who still makes drifting rev limiter noises with my shopping trolley I can say fake noise can be cool af

    I am in awe. God, I want this feature in an electric car. Unlike a single-speed transmission or CVT, the derivative change in position when you shift is sensed immediately by the brain and the body. The change in momentum when executing a speed shift registers so much quicker than trying to micromanage speed with a single transmission, which is what most electric cars are, and also why CVTs have never won performance driving races. Through the use of paddle shifters, regen, and software, the Ioniq 5 N has perfectly recreated the physics of a DCT. Coupled with the instant torque and power of an electric motor, what an incredible combination. God I really want this car

    I would enjoy this format better if it had more elements of a traditional car review where we get to see the car, the interior, under the hood, etc.
  • This is a pairing I DID NOT expect. But I am all about it. Cammisa and Vin? Thumbs up!
  • @GlitterGuru
    I love my Ioniq 5! Can’t imagine how much more this thing drives. Hyundai isn’t messing around
  • I spoke to Albert Beerman at Goodwood about my i20N and this. He said I should love this as I love my little i20N
  • @soulforsale2834
    I was not expecting to see Vin here, but it’s a welcome surprise.
  • @HerrUns
    I'll always watch Jason's work. I love his extensive knowledge and humor. I'm not sure I'm diggin the "podcast in a car" format.
  • @BWTECH0521
    And there will still be snobby people saying it's "still a Hyundai" and "Cost too much for a Hyundai". They have zero idea of the level of detail that Hyundai went to develop this car. It is an exellent attempt from the underdog. Bravo.
  • @OdyTypeR
    I still wish they made this at about 5/8 or 3/4 scale, but I'm glad they over-delivered on the "fun" quotient. Now if they could take this car's skateboard and throw the NVision 74 body on top, it would be worth the money in my eyes.
  • @AntonioSS22
    I wish this was one of the more professionally produced videos, especially for such a unique car.
  • @noduh736
    Jason and Vin never would have thought but it actually works they are a great team
  • This is kind of a strange crossover but extremely welcome. I have been watching Jason and Vin for years and years and they definitely have very strong (sometimes unpopular) opinions on cars, so its great to see them review something together! Cant wait for more of these to come!
  • @dan725
    LOL I love how much fun they’re having with all the silly modes. Also love how Hyundai is just allowing us to have fun with this car by simulating the sounds by pairing it with how an ICE car actually shifts and moves hahahaha. I feel like it’s more of an ICE simulator, and despite being gimmicky, looks so fun when you see these guys go at it. Their reaction to the jet “shifting” was hilarious!
