Limited AWD

I previously owned 2023 SEL AWD but 2025 Limited is a huge improvement.

Not Worth Considering. Do Your Research.

The car is cool when it works. But do not, I mean, DO NOT consider. Such an expensive car for it to not have a reliable ICCU. Mine failed with less than 8,000 miles and went through the lemon law process for them to buy their POS back!

Do not buy. Only lease.

Car has no self driving capabilities. Cruise control/self driving is very dangerous. It will try to throw you off the road sometimes. The dealership experience is one of the worst. They’ll say they’ll fix something. Have you wait for hours. And then blame you for the car problems. They will try to look for anything to deny that’s under warranty. The turn radius on the vehicle is one of the worst. Can barely do a U-turn. They’ll never fix the ICCU issue. The dealership told me it wasn’t an issue anymore. People are still having this issue. Range is widely inconsistent. I never get advertised charging speeds at superchargers. Car is $30,000 over priced. Self parking feature never works. It can never find a parking spot. Cannot self park in garage. Does not really have a funk. Car self navigation isn’t good. CarPlay always messes up and has connectivity issues. A cars wireless charging pad overheat your phone and doesn’t charge. Only lease this vehicle never buy it. Sound system is garbage for a car this expensive. If it’s not the limited trim, it’s definitely not worth it but the limited trim is way overpriced.

Smooth and comfortable

Easy car to drive, very comfortable. Better efficiency then expected. Controls are the right mix of haptic and tactile.

Has exceeded my expectations

I have been mostly impressed with my 2025 Ioniq 5. It has exceeded my expectations in nearly every way. I would give it 4.5 stars if that was an option above. Since one doesn't often get to tell a manufacturer their dislikes I will take this opportunity. My absolutely most disliked feature and one that will give me pause before buying any future Hyundai/KIA (or other) vehicles is the camera based driver monitor. When I first got the car it was so annoying I considered returning the car. After a software update it is been less intrusive but still annoys me at the most inopportune times. Usually it is repeatedly telling me 'To consider taking a break" when I am in heavy moving traffic in city areas where one needs to look around and make quick decisions on navigating complicated freeway intersections. It is so distracting during these times to be dangerous, not to mention completely wrong about where my attention is!!! Of all the complaints I have with the vehicle this is the worst. I also do not appreciate the invasion of privacy that this type of system has been (is?) used for. Here are the other items I would like to see improved. And some are software items that could still be fixed. I wish there was a grab handle over the drivers side door (like on passenger side). Every car I have ever owned has had one and I use it often. Not having one in this car just seems like unnecessary cost-cutting. I wish the Outside Temperature was shown (maybe beside the time) on the Main (center) display so that passengers could see it. Seems silly to only have it where the driver can see it. If you want to put it in the driver's direct line of view then add it to the main screen ALSO. This could be a software fix/addition. Speaking of temperature, it would be nice to display the current cabin temperature in the MyHyundai app so that one knows if cabin conditioning is needed to not. Software fix as well. The windows should stay powered at least for a few minutes after turning off the car (and opening doors for that matter) so that one could put them up. Might be a software fix...? And, I wish I could hold down the lock button on the key fob and have all the window on the vehicle close. I've had three other cars that had this feature (Audi and Ford). Software fix? The center arm rest lid should lift all the way to 90-degrees or beyond. It is inconvenient that it doesn't open all the way. The 360 degree view of the car (the parking camera) should have the vehicle in the correct color. Seems like an simple improvement and a software fix.

Overall excellent

Overall, the 2025 Ioniq 5 Limited is an excellent vehicle. It delivers many safety features, rides comfortably and quietly, and frees one from dependance on fossil fuels.

Great car, software is clunky.

Have really enjoyed the car, but the software features leave a lot to be desired. - no auto lock of doors when walking away - have to turn off the car with the stop button, other electric cars allow walking away - switching profiles is a mess and vehicle has to be in park. No key memory for profiles is a huge omission. - when approaching vehicle from the back to unplug, it does not unlock the car or charge port. Have to walk to the front doors, wait, and then unplug. - charge port sometimes remains locked even when car is unlocked. Should always respect the lock status of the car. The overall ride quality and polish of other features is great!

Great overall, minor issues

Car runs well and is fun to drive. Less than a year of having it, however, the TMS sensor went out and needed replacing. Then it needed an alignment a few weeks later. Now the splash guard has become partially unhinged. The dealerships in the northern Virginia area are terrible. They quite literally almost NEVER respond to inquires. The communication is horrible with them and it seems that when one issue gets resolved, another issue appears.

Decent EV with few quirks

I was super impressed with all the online reviews and finally went out and got one for myself. I was definetely great to begin with runs very smooth and comforatable but as I have owned it for an year now, I can definitely say they are few things to watchout for. One of the biggest thing was, it ran into a battery related issue and I needed to be towed to the showroom. Luckly, Saw the warning as I was about to head to office and was barely 100 feet away from my home and returned back. There was a ICM or some component that needed replacement and its probably a common complaint on these EVs. It took them 20 days or so to fix it and return me the car. The hudai customer service was excellent as expected. One more item is when we reverse the car, the camera has a lag and you will not be able to trust it that much and the excellator tends to overspeed and you can run into accidents if you are reversing on a slope or you are in tighter corners. The car also is jumpy at times with the accelartion and the angle of turn is little less compared to other cars. full turns are more tighter and tend to be a bit hard if you are in tight corners.
