I strongly back up this proposal. I am of 1,96m size and cannot find a seat and steering wheel position which allows me to properly read the speed display. This is a No Go for purchase unfortunately!
I also strongly support this proposal. I recently purchased two Ioniq 5’s and for the most part, I love these vehicles. They are just terrific - except for the position of the speedometer. The only real piece of data that I regularly look at while driving is my speed, period. The HUD is a nice-to-have when you feel like using an HUD but it is NOT a replacement for a critical gauge on the dashboard. Also, as everyone has pointed out, if you wear polarized lenses you cannot see it anyway - which for me is 100% of the time I drive during the day since I wear sunglasses. If you guys could just swap the center panel dynamic compass for the numerical speedometer, this car would be complete. Please. I just cannot imagine a group of user experience engineers designing this dashboard and not coming the same conclusion. Thank you Hyundai for considering this simple, critical modification.
