2025Ioniq 5 AWD SEL

The car is a pleasure to operate overall. However there is one big problem: ICCU/12V battery failure. My only two friends with 2025 Ioniq 5’s have had similar car-bricking experiences. Another friend will be acquiring a new car in January. I cannot confidently recommend the Ioniq 5 when ICCU failures happen as they have 3 out of 3 times. It’s a shame because the car is superb otherwise.

Best car I've ever owned.

This is the best car that I've ever owned. I absolutely love it. The acceleration, dearth of maintenance, wonderful driving experience, an inexpensive electrical fuel make it a win all the way around. In fact, I love this car so much that you should use me in a commercial.

Great Car but…..

Everything about my 2025 Ionic 5 is fantastic. Except for the fact that I can’t trust it. My car fell victim to the well documented ICCU design failure within three months and 2000 miles of ownership. And with Hyundai unable or unwilling to take a firm position on whether it is permanently fixed, how can I trust taking it out of town far away from repair facilities?

Great once breaking things got fixed

I love the car’s roomy interior, acceleration, display panels and tech features. Early on I had to bring the car in for an onsite software update; then later, had to have it loaded onto a tow truck because the brake module was malfunctioning. It took three weeks to get it replaced. The only other downside is the auto sensing wipers, they are erratic and I have to constantly manually adjust them to wipe more slowly or more quickly. Also, the Michelin tires that come with the new vehicle are flat to the sides of the wheel so I have scraped the wheel a few times when parking too close to the curb. Tires that bulge outward a bit would prevent that

Well designed EV

I came from a Model Y and I prefer the Ioniq 5. I like the overall exterior appearance. The interior is well designed with good finish and layout. Back seats have huge legroom. Cargo area is large and functional. In almost 2 years, no maintenance issues, no squeaks or rattles.

From the near future

Breaking new ground, advanced in almost every way with just a few important nagging friction points to fix

In love with my Ioniq 5!!

Ionic five is like driving a cloud. It’s a cream puff. Super comfortable. I love everything about it. I especially love the fact that it cost me under six dollars at my in-home charging station.

Great car, grat price, terrible sounds.

Great car, especially for the price we paid, however sounds it makes are plain terrible and extremely annoying. I realize they are required by law for electric cars, but somehow other makes of electric vehicles do not make them that loud or excessive as this car does.

Good buy, just not for me

Lots of bells-and-whistles, but battery life is poor, rides loose, and sensors are a tad much. Sometimes you get an alert our auto-pause and have no clue why or what for. Self-drive is also confusing to navigate settings.

Bought as an experiment

We bought this last year with the subsidies expiring. Hyundai also had some good deals going on at the time, and we decided it was a good time to give an EV a chance. And experiment, if you will, to see how livable they are. We don't have any plans to take it on a longer road trip, so the range has never been any kind of consideration at all. In fact, I think the range wars are the most idiotic thing in EVs. They make FAR more sense as a day-to-day, errand running vehicle. And for that purpose, this thing is perfect. We both look to it first when running around town - to the store, doctor, dentist, drop kids off, etc. It is just so convenient, and the way it drives is a lot of fun. We still haven't installed a "real" charger, and just use the cable that came with the car.

Nice car, nice ride, build quality issues.

Car is comfortable, fast and has good handling for a heavy car. Build quality isn’t great, as the rear hatch rattles and shakes on every bump and turn. Dealshuos don’t have a fix. I’m happy it’s a lease and I don’t own it. Infotainment is ok, can be a challenge between native apps and CarPlay.

Surprising to like a EV so much!

I didn't realize how well made a Hyundai was until I leased this one. Beyond that was the uncertainty of an EV, but I must admit, it has be all upside. And, now with the high cost of gas, I love driving it even more...

It's a really great car but has one week spot. If they guarantee that

The 2023–2024 models had recalls for the ICCU known problem with failures. It's the device that feeds energy from the main battery to the 12 V battery that runs all the instruments on the panel etc. It has a tendency to fail like-minded at 3000 miles. It seems like the kind of device they should be able to figure out how to make it work. If they promised me that they'll fix any failure in the next 10 years I'll keep the car. Right now I have at leased.

2025 Ioniq 5 review

We are generally happy with our Ioniq 5 with a couple of exceptions. The EV aspects are wonderful and we appreciate fossil fuel-free driving every day. The 2 biggest issues with the car are 1) the rattle in the tailgate and 2) the poor GPS navigation. The tailgate rattle is a well known issue for the model and has been for years. And, yet, we just took it to our dealer for a fix and it still rattles! The dealer as much as admitted that what they did was not likely to work, at least for long. My question is how is it possible that Hyundai cannot solve this problem??? The navigation system often gives incorrect or poor directions.
