Quirky but fun.

Fun to drive very comfortable on longer drives. However, there are many quirks that drive me nuts (parking sensors, trying to restart if you accidentally tried to engage drive or reverse without your foot on brake, start up screen experience seems to be different each drive.

Good but still ruff in some areas

I enjoy the car over all, but the driver attention system is a bit too in the strict side. It’s constantly telling me to watch the road, when I’m literally staring at the car in front of me.

Ex-Tesla owner: Ioniq 5 hardware is great, tech needs help

Having switched from a Tesla to an Ioniq 5, I want to emphasize how much I prefer the Ioniq's drive, build quality, and comfort. It is a fantastic vehicle. However, the overall EV experience is currently being held back by disjointed technology and a lack of minimalism. To make this the absolute best EV on the market, the user experience needs serious streamlining in a few key areas: Clunky Digital Key & Profiles: The car should instantly recognize the driver upon entry, set preferences, and be ready to drive. Forcing the driver to press the start button and manually select a user profile is an unnecessary bottleneck. No Walk-Away Lock: When I exit the car and walk away, the vehicle should simply turn off and lock automatically. Auto-Drive Inconsistency: The driver-assist technology is inconsistent enough that I rarely use it outside of low-speed, straight-line traffic. Too Much Redundancy: There are simply too many buttons, stalks, and extra steps to perform basic functions. Combined with complicated Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, the software feels like an afterthought. All this daily friction takes away from what is otherwise an incredibly enjoyable driving experience. Because of these frustrating tech issues, I am currently giving the Ioniq 5 a 3 out of 5 rating, when the car's underlying quality truly deserves a 4 or 5. Hyundai, if you take the seamless, minimalist tech approach of Tesla and pair it with your superior build quality, you will take over the world. You have an amazing car here—you guys can fix these software issues!

Things to improve

As delivered, this is an excellent vehicle. It is my 3rd 100% electric vehicle, and the best so far. This review is primarily to encourage Hyundai to improve what just works to refine that function into the best available through software updates.

First EV!

The ride and comfort of our 26 Ionic 5 is great. It'll take us a year to figure out how everything works, but so far excellent.

An early grade

I've had the car for a little over two months, So it's a bit early to say I have experienced all the car has to offer, nor have we taken it on a long trip, but so far...excellent.

SEL Still Nice, But Not So Premium Anymore

This car (2026 Ioniq 5 SEL) replaces a 2023 Ioniq 5 SEL that was totaled (no injuries thankfully). This car has some improvements over the previous model including NACS port charging at (some) TESLA Superchargers, 84 Kwh battery, rear window washer/wiper, and wireless Apple CarPlay. But it no longer has interior accent lights, folding side mirrors or heated seats. Also, not a fan of the darker gray interior. And the ICCU and 12v battery reliability are still a concern. So while I like the car, it paradoxically feels more like an EV econobox and a lot less premium.

A real star!

Amazing vehicle. We bought the LTD trim, which has every bell and whistle known to man. It may take a lifetime, however, to learn about all of them. Some folks want an EV for fuel economy, but don't overlook the silken smooth drive you get with this car. So quiet, so relaxed, so responsive. I never want to go back to a gas fueled vehicle! Very comfortable, great visibility, fabulous acceleration. You can't go wrong with this car!!!

Fast and fun to drive!

This is my first electric vehicle and I love it. We’ve taken it on long trips and appreciate the 350 mile range. It’s fun to drive and super fast! I don’t miss pumping gas.

2026 Ioniq 5 SEL best car I have ever owned

So far everything about the car is very positive. Only negative would be the Sirius XM not displaying the current song title without pushing multiple buttons. Bluetooth audio does it, so not sure why Sirius XM doesn't.

Great car - great value

I’ve been really happy with the IONIQ 5 so far. The price (especially after rebates) makes it feel like a steal. The range is way more than my previous car and I don't have any more 'range anxiety'. It's also got great quality of life features. Wireless android auto has made a huge difference for me.

Under 200 miles and already broke - unsafe to drive and dealership has no appointments to fix for a month. Waste of money.
