Fitment nuance per vehicle
Hyundai IONIQ 5
The IONIQ 5's boxy retro profile hides a very raked windscreen with a shallow upper edge; most compact dash cams tuck behind the mirror cleanly but larger units with integrated screens creep into the driver's sight line. The rear bench slides 135 mm fore-aft on non-N trims, so cargo dividers pinned against the fixed sliding-bench range change effective boot depth by ~100 mm. The IONIQ 5 N fits integrated-headrest bucket seats that block strap-mount organisers. RWD frunk is a genuinely useful 57 L (small holdall size); AWD drops it to 24 L due to the front motor. V2L outlet on the underside of the rear bench powers accessories directly. Hyundai's CANbus is only mildly sensitive.
Nissan Leaf
The Mk2 Leaf still runs a separate 12V accessory battery alongside its traction pack, so a compact jump pack in the boot remains useful if the 12V flattens after the car sits unused. There is no frunk; the Type 2 (and CHAdeMO) charging cables live in a bag under the boot floor, so false-floor accessories that sit atop the standard boot floor block cable access. Nissan's electronics are only mildly CANbus-sensitive - straight LED interior swaps typically work. The Leaf's boot floor is not height-adjustable, so accessories designed around two-level VW-group floors do not translate.
