Hello, Just trying to gain some perspective here as I was at both dealers today and for the first time laid eyes and touched the interior of both the Ioniq 5 and ID4 and I was greatly disappointed with the interior quality of the Ioniq 5 in terms of material choices. Don’t get me wrong, I think the Ioniq looks good, tech is good, and specs are good. It’s pretty much scratchy hard plastic everywhere, even in high touch areas like door armrests. In contrast I checked out 2 ID4s afterwards and was pretty much “blown” away with the materials used - when having just seen the Ioniq 5.
Is this normal? EVs aren’t cheap vehicles and I understand the big part of cost are the electrical components like the battery, but the interior quality alone is greatly steering me towards an ID4 instead of the Ioniq 5… Along with an apparent 3 year wait for the Ioniq 5 AWD in Canada.
What does HUD stand for?
Heads Up Display
Heads up display (typically projects speed and other information above the dashboard so there is no need to take your eyes off the road)
Heads Up Display
I’m going be that guy and tell you HUD doesn’t stand for Heads Up Display, but rather Head-Up Display. Singular, not plural.

Also, this company called their own product a heads up display https://hudway.co/drive
Thanks for the heads up, on that.
Never heard anyone call it a “heads up display” until the replies in this thread. Sort of assumed everyone knew they only had one head to keep up while driving
“heads up” is an expression. It means “pay attention”, not “articulate your multiple heads”.
TBF I have never heard this, even after a decade as an engineer at Boeing. “Head-up display” may be common among human factors engineers, where the focus is on cockpit ergonomics, and maybe it was the original use at the Pentagon, but I think both should be considered correct because even in aerospace you’ll hear “heads-up” more often.
