The 2026 Ioniq 5 is a pleasure to drive

The 2026 Ioniq 5 is a pleasure to drive. The heads-up display integrates beautifully with the navigation system so that the next turn is called out on the display making it possible to follow directions without ever taking eyes off the road. The combination of all the other sensors means that lane changes, turns, and what-not can all be accomplished safely with plenty of warning.

Perfect electric car for larger person!

Researched many electric and hybrid electric vehicles. Tried several that I did not fit in as a 6’2 450 pound man. Ioniq 5 was the first electric vehicle that opened wide enough, and I was able to comfortably fit in. Very nice. Have driven less than 1,000 miles in my first three months of ownership, but have loved them all, so far. High-tech and fun and easy to drive. This 2026 Ioniq 5 replaced my 2018 Subaru Outback, which was my fifth Subaru over many years. Available Subaru electrics were slow to come, and so far do not fit me. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 was my first Hyundai, and I was pleasantly surprised and love it, so far. Having a charger included with the car that can be either a Level One or a Level 2 charger was a nice touch. Having a 220 volt outlet installed in my garage for quick Level Two charging was an expense, but is key to my happiness with this electric car. I enthusiastically recommend a 2026 Ioniq 5 so far, especially for a larger person like me.

Impressive so far.

Came from a Tesla Y Overall I am impressed so far. Decent ride and is pretty quiet inside. Wish it had live view cameras.

Fun car to drive. Flawed technology.

Nice car, but still a few years behind on technology.

Nice Exterior, Ugly interior design

I traded in my lovely Kia Sorento 2025 with leather seats and panoramic sunroof for the basic Ionic 5 Standard Range. The change is drastic, but the "fuel savings" really made it worth it. I really like the Ionic’s exterior design, since it looks like a hatchback from the ’80s or ’90s, However, the interior is really ugly; there’s a lot of plastic on the door panels, and fingerprints show up easily, making it look dirty or greasy. You have to be constantly cleaning it. The center console is horrible; I’ve never seen anything so ugly, and that’s even though they improved it compared to the 2024 model. The spot where you’re supposed to charge your phone is basically unusable because when the sun’s rays hit the phone, it overheats and shuts down, so I have to remove it from there and hide it somewhere else where the sun doesn’t hit it directly. that center console is a joke—who was the genius who designed it? There isn’t enough space to store things—just a small tray with a lid that barely fits my wallet and car keys. Everything else I have to practically throw into the bottom section, which is completely open. All of this is a problem because it leaves my personal items exposed and unprotected when I leave the car at valet parking or when it’s in for service. The glove box doesn’t have a lock either. The base model doesn’t have a wireless cell phone charging option, nor does it have air conditioning vents in the rear seats. I got $3000 rebate, Zero down payment and 0% APR x 72 month (with tier 1 credit) but the dealer under valued my Kia (of course) paying $634 monthly. I financed around $45k (too much for this) and with just 200 miles I got an estimate from Carvana for just $25,000, so I am loosing $20k immediately. "But I am saving GAS" hahaha.

Solid, spacious, and quiet

I've been driving pure electric vehicles since 2012. I've seen the full gamut of EVs over the years. I've seen ranges go from 65 miles to over 300. It's as amazing as the improvement we see in computing performance. My phone has as much power, RAM, and storage as a top-end laptop from only 5 years ago. That's how I feel about the Ioniq 5. It feels like the future. It's quick, quiet, comfortable, spacious, and surprisingly inexpensive. It's the future we were promised for EVs.

It's fairly good

Fun car to drive that has just enough idiosyncrasies to make it frustrating to use on a regular basis.

Great first EV

We’re only 3 months in, but my family and I love this car. It’s our first EV. The ride is incredibly smooth and responsive. We love how customizable everything is on the interior — from the dashboard to the infotainment to the seats and the interior lighting. The drive modes and different levels of regenerative braking allow you to pick the driving experience that’s right for you — and ease into things like single-pedal driving. Ours is the AWD Limited trim and we love the material on the interior and the seats. Super comfortable and easy to clean. This is primarily a commuter car for us, so we charge it back up to 80% about once a week. We’ve already taken it on one road trip and fast charging time was great. We’ll be taking it on longer trips again soon!

Ioniq 5 2026

I turned in my Fisker Ocean as part of the Chase settlement and wanted another EV. I test drove the Chevy Blazer, Kia EV6 and the Ioniq 5. I found the Hyundai had everything I was looking for in an EV.
