Car works fine, but the electronics are too elaborate.

The car works great, almost all the time. Comfortable, easy to drive, has plenty of space for kids in the back seats, most of the controls are easy to use, charging is great with the NACS port and adaptors for several other charger types, and charges fast. That said, we have some cons. The main charging control unit died suddenly and it took a month to get it replaced. The electronics are very elaborate with MANY options; too many in our opinion, fewer/simpler would be better. Some of the physical controls are confusing and take a while to get used to, especially the drive and reverse control. Occasionally, the car will do something strange and require it to be "rebooted," sometimes more than once. For example, the side mirrors stopped opening as they had been. It took exploring around the setup to find something that would reset that. Occasionally, starting the car incorrectly will require several resets to get it started correctly -- do I need to step on the brake, when do I need to. The key fob is too big, the fobs on other cars are much smaller. That makes it hard to fit in a pocket.

Great car, but where are the parts?

I bought a buyback 2025 Limited in May of 2026, and had a few great months. The chore of commuting turned into a delightful zooming flight on silent effortless electric wings. But then I got a warning light for my electric system, and brought it to be worked on at the dealership. Now there is no ETA for parts, and it has been 8 weeks. The dealer has had my car for almost as long as I have. It’s a shame that a company like Hyundai can’t do better.

Good, but room for improvement

Generally a nice vehicle. Some problems that have existed for years still need attention. This includes ICCU failure and 12v battery issues.

Electrical issues after 9000 miles.

A brand new car should not be bricked within 9k miles. Unable to drive it and had to get it towed to the dealership. Other issues,hard to disconnect from charger. The buttons on the actual charging port do not work. Need to do some trickery with the app in order to get it to let go. The door handles are slick and why in the living word would they create ones that pop out? I'm always afraid I'll catch on one and tear it off the car. The lag on the display to switch between drivers is annoying. I just want to drive!

Roomy Quiet Ride

Liking the look, fit and finish, the room and comfort. Not liking the lack of mechanical buttons and having to look down. The radio is a PITA and should just go to favorites putting faux presets on high on the large screen. Hyundai should have a tutorial on the basic setup and infotainment start to finish instead of searching topics.

Feels cheaply made

Compared to the 2024 model, this feels cheaply made. I can feel wind coming through the doors and hate that automatic lift gate isn’t included.

HYUNDAI 2025 IONIQ 5

Vehicle Battery needed to be replaced less than 7 months in. Took 3 weeks to get replaced. The car does not hold a charge for the mileage it claims it does. The electrical system often doesn't work. Lights go on for no reason. It won't connect to Apple CarPlay. The Siri system doesn't work much of the time.

Let down by Hyundai

We fell in love with our Ioniq 6 and honestly became Hyundai super fans — recommending Hyundais to family and friends, but when we leased our 2025 Ioniq 5 XRT the cars’ reliability and the dealer experience were a complete letdown. It is almost comical how poorly they have taken care of us. My car has been towed into the dealership four times with less than 9k miles and hyundai simply does not care. I have never been treated so poorly or carelessly in my life by a corporation — and I have owned lots of cars.

Very loud squeek has put us off

We really liked our car until about a week ago when it started making a horribly loud and awful sounding screech. We took it in, but the dealer couldn't find anything. They were also apalled when they listened to our recording of the loud noise. We took it home. It's been OK for a week, but earlier today it started screaming again...

Generally an awesome car

So far, I have loved my Hyundai Ioniq 5. I did have one issue - at only 10K miles, an electronic component died, leaving me broken down on the side of the road. I read that this was a common issue, although unfortunately I don't remember the name of the part that expired. My other issue is driver profiles. The main purpose of a driver profile is to customize seat and mirror positioning, with other settings being secondary. The Ioniq 5 does not save seat and mirror positions into its driver profiles, which a bit of a complaint because multiple family members drive my car.

Great Ride

I’ve been very happy with this car overall. No major issues and only minor complaints on accessibility and some quirky technology issues.

Don’t Waste Your Money

Spent $60k, value 6 months later $28k. I learned this when I tried to move back into a gasoline powered car and talked dealership. Thankfully I leased so I didn’t suffer the ownership pain. . The GM of Feldman Hyundai let me know that was the problem with EV’s. Didn’t say this when I was signing the paperwork. Because I cannot go further than 2 hours til l I have to charge, I was trying to get out of it. If you put the ac or heat on, you can’t even go 2 towns over.

We completely understand how frustrating it is to experience sharp depreciation and find yourself limited by real-world driving range—especially when climate controls impact your daily travel more than expected. We are very glad to hear that leasing shielded you from shouldering that long-term value drop, and we appreciate you sharing your candid feedback about your experience with the IONIQ 5. Should you decide to explore other options down the road, you can always check out our lineup at Hyundaiusa.com or visit your local dealer. ^cc

Love the car but it broke down 3 times in 1 year due to battery

The battery issue makes me not want to own a Hyundai again. Love the electric car but it's embaressing to have my car towed 3 times, espeically when I'm trying to tell people having an EV is great and a Hyundai is better than a Tesla.

Over achieving my expectations

I wasn’t sure about buying my first Hyundai, and the Ioniq 5 was not my first choice for an EV, but it was the last option available to me on the last day of the federal rebates.. so I took a leap. And wow has it over delivered!

I think I'll keep it

I signed a 24 month lease to see if an EV was right for me. It's getting toward the end of the lease term and I'm so happy with the car I've decided to buy it.
