Great Car Limited Doc

We really enjoy this car but have spent far too much time “discovering” function. You really shouldn’t have to go to Youtube to figure out how to do something…

Nice smooth drive but unworkable turning radius, oppressive tech

This car has a comfortable interior and I am happy with the range and driving an EV. I wish I'd gotten a different one, though. They made the 2026 longer and wider, that as a mistake, it feels like a boat. There is really TOO much tech. i do not need a car beeping madly at me constantly, it like having a terrible backseat driver who goes crazy way too soon. I don't need a nanny. Also, and this is the thing I wish I'd realized before I bought it. The turning radius is TERRIBLE. Making a u-turn is nearly impossible unless you have two lanes on the other side. Turning into a parking space is similarly diffioult so if it is tight, forget it. These things would have been deal breakers for me. I wish I'd known. I'm not sure how this compares to earlier ioniq 5 models. People seem happier with those. Finally, the climate control panel on the dash is virtually unreadable when you are driving so trying to change the cabin temperature is hazardous. That just seems such a ridiculous oversight. I usually keep vehicles 10 years. I plan to get rid of this one ASAP.

Excellent satisfying car

A few little things in the electronics are annoying, but overall we are very happy.

Nicely engineered but not perfect

Driver assistance software noticeably improved from the 2024 EV6. The seeking of hip appearance through the use of small tire sidewalls makes the ride harsher than it should be. Easy to charge. Peppy

Really like my new Ioniq 5 SEL

Like the car a lot. It drives really smooth, very comfortable. The only area for improvement is A/C flow for the backseat (there are only two small outlets, and it takes quite a while to cool backseat)

Ioniq 5 review

I’ve only had it for 2 months and I’ve had problems with the charging and tire PSI sensors so far. I’ve called the dealership and they were extremely rude. Wouldn’t recommend.

Went from plug-in to full EV

Love the car… wish the dealer knew more and actually answered my questions when i purchased it. They insisted the salesperson knew all about it… he knew the basics and couldn’t answer many questions so I took a chance going full EV. Thank goodness for online communities.

Great Overall

Great overall car. Ready to drive. Smooth. Comfortable. I wish there were more AWD available. The tech is good, but there could be more. Would it as value? Probably not, but would be a nice add. Overall great vehicle.

Performance is as expected or slightly better. I like the NACS compatibility for charging. I hope the future version will have an even more extended range.

Great Ride

My Ioniq5 is my first EV and I will never go back to fossil burners again! The ride is superb and the economy is unsurpassed. I have gone for months at a time spending 0 on my charging. The warnings for cross traffic when I back up and side traffic when I change lanes has made my driving very stress free.

Very pleased with Ioniq5

My Hyundai Ioniq5 replaced a 2015 Sonata. I am very pleased with my Ioniq5. It has been very easy to figure out everything I need on the dashboard. It is the perfect size for me and is easy and pleasant to drive. I am happy to be helping the environment by charging it partially with solar energy from the solar panels on my house. I really like the digital teal color.

Electrical Failure

The car I leased has suffered three ICCU failures causing completed electrical failure. The 3rd failure after repair we were told they had found the problem and it was safe to drive. Six hours later we were stranded on the side of a busy highway for three hours the car was completly dead even the flashers to warn cars at night had stopped. This ws my second Ioniq 5. I had a 2024 which had the same failure, I moved to a 2026 because they said the problem had been fixed in the newer model. That did not turn out to be true.

Lovely car, would buy again, room for some improvements

Overall very happy with the car so far, would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for this size vehicle. Great entry EV as well. A few things I have found frustrating: * The emergency breaking and collision detection has a lot of false positives, and has more than once fired violently while I was in control and carefully maneuvering to avoid the hazard. This is particularly common when parking or turning and a car is moving nearby even if not actually a collision hazard. It will even forcibly put the car in park, preventing you from moving which can be a hazard in its own right * The surround cameras, and the reconstructed 3d view of the car, are very poor and often distort things beyond recognition. I find the 3d view essentially unusable, which is too bad because I was excited to upgrade my trim to include it. * The infotainment center takes _forever_ to start up, including two separate overlays you have to tap through or wait to go away, easily 15s of waiting before you can do anything * The memory settings on the driver's seat are easy to muddle, and then you can't reset them while driving

Vehicle on/off & Lock/Unlock Feature

Ioniq is my 5th EV. At least the last 2bof my EVs had auto off and On capabilities and all of them had auto lock and unlock features. Missing these are the most annoying part of the Ioniq 5 experience.
