I've wanted this car for a while now. Finally got me one.

Comfortable inside. New age looking on the outside. Easy to navigate controls. The best party is driving right past the has stations.

Title - 70 characters and summary - 10? And the car is built this way.

and I could not submit it because "the text response should be at least 10 characters" :(

Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited AWD

This is my first EV and after 4 months I'm very happy I took the plunge. There was definitely an early learning curve, but this is a very easy vehicle to like. I would recommend to anyone.

My 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 review August 2026

Nice all electric car. First time having an all electric. Acceleration is fast and smooth. Rear view mirror is different from what I am used to. The rear view mirror uses a camera on the back of the car so your view is totally not obstructed. Better vision for the most part. At night it blurs headlights from behind you so you are not getting blinded. I like having not to have to go to a gas station to fill up. Once you start using it, charging at home, you will enjoy the convenience.

love this car

I absolutely love this car. I only have two issues. First is that when I went on a long road trip, the a/c kept shutting off or would automatically switch to "driver only". and also, in the rear hatch, after I wash the car, there is a constant drip of water under one of the panels.

Perfect Car

This was our first electric car, so my wife and I were a bit nervous about all the new tech and features. Within a day or two, driving it felt normal, within a month or so I felt like I understood when and how to charge it (I had the default amperage set to "low" for a while and was charging slower than I needed to). The overall design of this specific car is all around great and we love it

The absolute BEST bang for your buck on a quality luxury all electric SUV. It was the BEST equipped electric SUV I looked at and with an extra offer from Hyundai Motor Finance...... a deal too good to be true. I love it!

2026 IONIQ 5 FWD Limited Review

I love the vehicle, especially many of the high-end features offered in the Limited trim line. There is one safety problem that occurred that you should be aware of though. The automated Forward Attention Warnings can give false positives. This occurred to me while driving on I-95 in DE. I was using the smart cruise control when the LFA and HDA systems automatically engaged. During this time the system started sending me "Eyes on the road" and "Hands on the wheel" warnings even though I had my hands firmly on the wheel and my eyes were on the road. I tried repositioning my hands and moving my head, but the warnings became more persistent until the system warned that the car would be shut down (while driving 65 mph on I-95!). I turned off the automated cruise control and this disabled the warnings, but this is clearly a problem you should warn your customers about. I haven't tried to reproduce the problem, but I believe the issue with my eyes is related to my use of prescription progressive lenses which may have anti-infrared coatings on them. Not sure why the hands on the wheel was a problem. The dealer has assured me the vehicle has the latest software updates, so that's not the issue. You need to look into this more!

Fantastic EV SUV

One of the best cars that I’ve owned, I would actually buy another one if they fix a couple of issues I actually had.

2026 I5 Review

The one thing I am critical about this car that causes me to rate it average is how the so-called "inattentive driver feature" is designed. The "coffee cup" and associated chiming are extremely annoying. I plan to contact appropriate Hyundai authorities to provide some kind of fix.

Great car with a few issues

Great car with a few issues. It has a hesitation while coming out of a turn. It doesn't have a remote start in the app. The remaining miles charge isn't steady.

2026 Ionic 5

There are only 3 changes I would make to this year's car. 1. The key fob is too big and bulky. Is there any reason why it can't be smaller? 2. The temperature control panel cannot be read with polarized glasses. Polarized glasses filter the light, making the panel impossible to see. 3. There are a lot of bells and whistles built into the car. Other than that, I'm really enjoying the car and I'm glad I bought it.
