Had my eye on the Ioniq 5 for about 5 years or so and finally own one. Overall I am very happy with the car through my first 2.5 months of ownership. No issues so far

Sadly, missing features
Great car in many ways but the bells and whistles are diminishing. Gone are folding side mirrors, heated steering wheel, digital key and park
assist. I am actually shocked by how much was taken away. I obviously needed to check closer but if my 2023 included all those awesome
features you would clearly think the 2026 model would too. I do like the charging adaptors that they have added.

My favorite car ever!
I absolutely love this car. This is my second Ioniq 5. My first was a 2023 SE and I wanted to upgrade to Limited so bought the 2026. My son is now loving the 2023.

It's just okay
For the price of the car, it's missing a lot of standard features most cars at this price range should have. Not having powered windows for the passenger side makes a world of a difference. That, and the turning radius is awful. I have parking anxiety trying to maneuver in parking lots with this new hurdle. I wish I could return my car early and get a new one. I doubt I can stay with this one for the full 3 years.

My SEL is a great car for the money, but Go for the Limited trim.
Solid ride, quiet, sure-footed and connected to the road. Lots of power and pickup.

powertrain wise very good. build quality and infotainment to be improv
Powertrain is very good. 800V architecture is great for me since i don't have AC charging at home. However i have rattles in the rear trunk, seat area on this 2 month old vehicle. Infotainment wise the route planning is much to be improved compared to Tesla etc.

Electronics are unnecessarily difficult: non-intuitive and seem differ
Very nice car. Much better range and lower consumption of charge than my 2023

Decent crossover SUV
Nice electric crossover SUV with good range and fast charging. The software needs a lot of work. Keys aren't tied to profiles and switching profiles is locked unless you're in park - which can cause issues if you don't realize you're on the wrong profile when you take off. Lots of things tied to profile as well. Some behavior like unlocking all of the doors with multiple unlock clicks on the remote are off by default or setup strange and buried under multiple menus. They're also tied to the profile - which would be kindof neat if the profiles were tied to keys. Like the wireless Apple CarPlay. The seats are decent. Air conditioning is a little iffy and the rear passengers are often too warm unless I crank up the air and point vents to the rear. Of course there are no rear vents. No issues with charging or with the car in general so far.

Loving my 2026 AWD Limited
I was originally going to buy the new Toyota BZ but after reading so many positive reviews about the Ionic 5, I decided to at least drive one before making my first EV purchase. It didn't take long to change my mind about which car I would be buying. :-)

Do not buy at Seattle Hyundai. Car is great but dealership runs a scam
Do not buy at Seattle Hyundai. Car is great but dealership runs a scam: $799 “Waypoint Protect”.
After the price had been negotiated, hidden among “Taxes and Fees” was “Waypoint Protect” at $799. Described to me after I inquired what this, Tax or Fee was, as an anti theft device. An item never disclosed in car price negotiations.

A fun EV to drive
The quick acceleration and the smooth quiet ride makes this car a pleasure to drive. It’s also a joy to drive past gas stations and not worry about the price of gas.

Ionic5
I love the car, but it could use some improvements. For example, having the charging port at the front of the cars, so one doesn’t always have to back into a charging station. Improving or correcting charging a Tesla, charging, half the time if not more I am unable to charge there and have given up trying.
