2026 Ioniq 5 SE review

I ended up purchasing 2026 Ioniq 5 SE after test driving 6 other EV manufacturers. It had the best reviews. There were a few surprises that came with it: - The backseat air vents are on the floor. The carpets tend to block them so I ended up adding sponges to force the carpet from blocking the airvents. - There is no cargo area cover to hide your valuables. Found on amazon an aftermarket vendors who sold it. But overall, these are minor issues that I ended up solving on my own.

Great car so far.

I’m a long time Subaru owner. I was tired of hearing about head gasket leaks, cars with 60,000 miles burning a quart of oil in 7500 miles and being told that’s normal, etc…. I made the jump to electric and wish I had done it sooner. I was worried about the range, but 99%of what I do is less than 100 miles a day and the car performs flawlessly. That said there are dislikes. For 2026 they dropped a lot of features on the SEL AWD. All should have radiant panels and heated steering wheels. The car also came with the worst wiper blades I have seen. Really, why cheap out there. Compared to Subaru/toyota the Ioniq 5 is much quieter, still they could do better with wind noise. Seats are ok, but I like the crosstrek seats much better. The fast charge time sold the car over competitors, but that is only important on trips and so far all I have needed is the level 2 charger. I don’t care what brand you get, you are going to love an EV once you get it.

Wonderful Car, Reliability Issues

Great car, love the style and performance and tech. My 2025 model was repurchased after a battery issue, and turned around and bought a 2026 model.

Great vehicle, subpar sensing and software

It’s a dream with a few exceptions: it often thinks I’m not paying attention when I am literally eyeing the road, it annunciates collision warnings when I am passing a turning car with no risk of collision, and the “minimum range” does not hold up, including multiple trips where 20 miles of minimum range disappeared through the trip. That is not what minimum means.

Ioniq 5

Overall, the car is great. However, little things are quite bothersome. You have different profiles for different drivers, but the vehicle does not recognize settings for the different drivers (adjusting seats, mirrors, etc.). Since the vehicle is electric, and the seats, mirrors, etc. are electric, the vehicle should adjust to each profile. Also, the drive mode always reverts back to level 3 no matter who is driving and when one switches from drive to reverse. If I want to drive in one pedal mode, I need to adjust the vehicle, and if I want to drive in economy, i need to adjust that as well. The issue is that if I put the car in reverse or shut it off, the settings automatically reverts to level 3. It’s annoying, especially for an electric car with the computer ability.

A couple of suggestions

All good for the drivetrain and controls. The only a couple of complaints. The windshield washer is poor: not enough fluid and not dispersed well. The grime builds up on the windshield and, since it’s an EV, I don’t get to clean it at the gas pump. The passenger seatbelt rattles annoyingly when not in use. I clip the belt to the empty seat to get it to stop.

Best car I've ever owned

The Ioniq 5 is the best car I've ever owned. It's comfortable, fast, quiet, and has enough room for whatever we need to haul. The build quality is top notch and I love to drive it.

Great so far!

4 months in, an assessment of the Ioniq 5 Limited. Love it all except for the turning radius, which is not tight enough for most parallel parking needs.

My second Ioniq 5, it will not be my last

This is my second Ioniq 5 replacing the 2023 that just completed his lease. I loved the first model, and love the second one even more. There are about 30 updates to it that have improved the car, yet the price has gone down by about 15%. This car is just a pure joy to own and to drive, I will never be buying another gas-powered car again for sure!

Nothing like my Dodge Hellcat, but still pretty fun to drive!

Comfortable, fun to drive, safety features, wish the interior (door panels specifically) was easier to keep clean

Gorgeous, Luxury Vehicle

Previously owned a Kona EV, and dreamed of owning an Ionic 5. I traded in, purchased the Limited model and remain excited and proud each time I walk to open the door, It has every modern safety feature, has gorgeous white faux leather upholstery with a super elegant blue painted exterior. It is a comfortable drive and ride and exceeds my expectations. This car is a competitor to all name brand luxury EVs but half the cost. Go buy one today!

Broken within 2 months

The ICCU problems are AWFUL. Hyundai should be embarrassed it's still releasing a car with these problems years after it was first made known. Shame on you.
