My new daily driver

I drive anywhere between 30 to 108 miles per day and this car makes the miles as comfortable as possible. Comfy while on highways using the HDA features and very responsive when needed. Sport mode makes for quite a launch. This care is great!

I love my new Ioniq 5

Great car, roomy interior, handles well, lots of great features. Back up camera shots are amazing. Its smaller than my last car, but feels bigger inside.

All great except turning

I love everything about my vehicle, except for its poor turning radius. That limits my ease of pulling in and out of parking spaces and dealing with tight maneuvers and sharp turns. It impacts my driving on a daily basis so I will probably not to keep this car as a long as I usually do with past vehicles.

4 months of driving perfection

Our Ioniq 5 has been comfortable and affordable. It has the speed and distance that can’t be beat.

Amazing, except a couple things...

Love almost everything about the car. I understand we got the lower trim model, but not having power closing rear gate is tough. The resistance is very tough to close. Also, the way the wipers clean the front windshield, they "deposit" or "leave" the water right in the direct sightlines of the driver. Wouldn't you want to move the water away from the drivers view?

2026 Ioniq 5

Regenerative breaking is weak, even when set to the highest level. Can no longer do one. Pedal driving like I could with my 2023 dual motor Ioniq 5.

Hyundai Ionic 5 is as High Quality as it gets!

This vehicle is as high in quality and performance as any high end English, German or Italian car made. Top notch materials, construction and finishes, and it performs like a race car. (Ok, it has a terrible turning radius but it's such a great car this can be overlooked). Excellent all around vehicle and it looks good, as well.

Loving My 2026!

I loved my 2023 but my 2026 is even better! It’s seems like the battery lasts longer and the placement of the controls are more intuitive.

2026 review

Overall it's been a good vehicle. It drives well and is comfortable. My biggest concern is the reliability and functionality of the mobile app. The app needs to be improved for performance and I find it odd that you have to rely on the app to charge the car.

Ok EV but pricey

The vehicle drives and rides fine. The interior is cheap and it shows compared to my Nissan Ariya. The lane following feature is plagued with bugs. I mainly drive highway and it still struggles. The eye attention feature is quite annoying.

Excellent car would be outstanding with a couple of tweaks

Very good so far. I have only had it for about three months. Excellent performance and fun to drive. Built well, no rattles. Wish the highway driving assist worked better and the car would automatically lock when walking away.

Great car

Pleasure to own and drive. Low speed parking in tight spaces is problematic and the only complaint.

Some serious unnecessary annoyances

I have had to install a lot of aftermarket items because simple options are missing. Granted I came from a Tesla, but things like auto-locking doors or rolling up windows when leaving the car are pretty easy to program. You have a ton of cameras, yet no option for us to use them as "dashcam's" to monitor the safety of the car or for accidents, so I had to install an aftermarket Cam. Most of them are horrible looking, so I found one that isn't but only allows for front and rear coverage (which I had to install). The auto lane maintenance during cruise control can't take turns well at all so it's essentially useless. Of enormous annoyance is that you can't opt to have 1 pedal driving as the default. I have to select it every time I turn the car on. Why in the world would you not allow that as a default? My car also doesn't software update properly. It's always stalling on updates. I can't set the percentage of battery charge from the car, only from the app. Whose idea was that? The app is horribly designed. I'm only allowed to have 1 card key for the car, but most families who purchase this car will have multiple drivers. Why would you only allow one driver to carry a card key? It's idiotic. Tesla does all of these things correctly, go look at one. Almost all of these are software issues that could be fixed by a competent software team. But I'm not holding my breath. Last annoyance is the A pillar cover. Who thought it would be a good idea to make it so that you can't remove it? The tether doesn't detach so if you're trying to run dashcam wire behind the airbag, it's very difficult because you can't see what you're doing. Of course I wouldn't need to do that if you allowed us to access built-in cameras for a dashcam. On the plus side, I like the HUD and the layout of buttons is good. The touch buttons are terrible though, you should replace those with actual buttons. The armrest is extremely hard/uncomfortable for some reason. A/C is excellent compared to Tesla (horrible in tesla). Seat coolers and heaters are decent. Steering wheel shifting mechanism is very awkward, though I suppose I'll get used to it the more I use it. I love the fact that you can keep the car on and there is an option to pull from the main battery instead of the 12V. That was an excellent idea whoever thought of that. Trunk space is good, back row seats tilting back is nice as well.
