2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Cupholder Mega Check: Will the Nalgene bottle match?

I completely adore the Hyundai Ioniq 5, and so was excited to spend per week with it when the EV landed in my driveway. Once I first drove the Ioniq 5 in San Diego, although, I hadn’t packed my favourite fashion water bottle: the large 32-ounce Nalgene. Regardless of it being the most effective, its sheer measurement makes it much less excellent when attempting to pack mild for a brief journey. It additionally means it does not slot in most vehicles’ cupholders, however, with out the bottle readily available, I would have to attend till this new alternative with the Ioniq 5 to seek out out if it passes the Nalgene test. So, let’s get to it.

Beginning at pole place — the entrance cupholders — we discover ourselves unfortunate thus far. It isn’t even near becoming. Commonplace, however our first possibility for handy entry to megahydration is denied. In most situations, our subsequent greatest guess is the molded pockets within the entrance door panels.

Right here we now have success. It is fairly a good match, so whereas our drink will not be knocking or rolling round, it is not as straightforward because it may very well be to retrieve whereas driving, and I am going to most likely ultimately put on out the little plastic tether connecting the lid to the bottle, as that is the simplest factor to seize with out wanting. Nonetheless, I am going to give these door holders a move.

How concerning the of us sitting in again? The place can they stash their Nalgenes?

No shock about it not becoming within the heart armrest cupholders after our inauspicious begin with the fronts. The truth that it will not match within the door panels is disappointing. C’est la vie.

However yet another factor … you may need seen one other potential stash up entrance within the storage cubby beneath the middle stack.

The Nalgene suits in there simply superb, however a bit bit of additional room means the bottle will probably be knocking round. It is truly a good spot, and extra accessible than the doorways.
