Only car that I've driven that I know had fake engine noise through the speakers was a Genesis GV70. I went to test drive one and I was surprised how well it sounded. I was so surprised after a while I thought something might be up so I went through the settings and found it. When I turned it off it basically made no sound at all. I would probably leave it on.

The CX-5 we have has fake noise pumped through the stereo with no way to shut it off. My wife is not a car person & even she hates it.

You cannot always turn it off. THe fake bs noise is pumped through the stereo on our CX-5 with no way to disable it.

Attachment 3456852
As we all know, when it comes to EVs they perform the mundane a-to-b tasks incredibly well. Smooth and silent operation, no NVH or shifting, and abundance of power all create a great experience. We have an IONIQ 6 in the family, and that is one fantastic car when traveling about the city. But it is not fun in the slightest, and that's ok. So, how does a heavy battery electric car gain a soul? The crazy geniuses at Hyundai's N division (in particular ex BMW-M boss Albert Biermann) thought of that and gave us their take on a performance EV unlike any other. The Stats For those unfamiliar, the IONIQ 5 N is Hyundai’s performance EV SUV. It has a maximum of 641 horsepower and 568lb-ft torque when using N Grin Boost (NGB), and at all other times 601 horsepower and 545lb-ft torque. It has an 84kWh battery capable of 221 EPA estimated miles and uses an 800-volt architecture. Hyundai claims the I5N weighs around 4800lbs and will hit 60 in 3.25 seconds. Attachment 3456823 The Looks Before getting to how it drives though, how about the looks? I know the crowd on here may be split on Hyundai’s design direction and overall “styling” (although the grass isn't much greener in Munich), but I think the I5N looks the part. The regular I5 looks fantastic. It has a retro-modern flair, with clear inspiration from 80’s hot hatches (particularly that of the Delta Integrale) and with that, I think that allows it to be the best-looking EV outside of maybe a Taycan, which is easily double the price. The I5N takes it up a notch to 11 with beefy fender flares, a lower and wider stance, real vents for aero, as well as different trim and a more aerodynamic rear spoiler on top of many other changes. And of course, this one being spec’d in Soultronic Orange means it will have no trouble standing out from the crowd. Again, I know looks are subjective, but I dig it.

That's the thing right? If BMW built the i5N the world would be raving how it was the greatest thing since EVs were invented. But cos it's a Hyundai... 😅

I think adding this stuff does a disservice to EVs. It's bad for CVTs to fake shifts too. This is stupid focus group / marketing team style thinking. We didn't add vinyl clicks and pops to CDs on purpose, well, mostly anyway.

Since 99% of CX-5 owners are women, does it really matter?

This is in just about EVERY car on the road made in the last 5 years and many within the last 10. Much more likely is you've driven these cars, heard this noise, but thought it was from the engine.

The Gen 6 Ford Bronco does have fake engine sound in the higher trim levels with the Lux package and B&O audio system. My Bronco is not fancy (on purpose).
