Don’t buy an Ioniq 5

I love my car but it doesn’t reliably charge with a type 2 charger. This means I cannot take it on a trip that requires charging. My dealer says nothing is wrong with the car. Daily, I receive 150 or more erroneous notifications on BlueLink that my car has received a request to charge. These notifications come even when the car is not plugged in

Sometimes the safety features are a little over-aggressive

Electric car is fun to drive!

This is my first electric car, I love driving it! I didn't realize it would be so fun to drive, so smooth with great acceleration! I love the car, my only complaint is that it is hard for me to get in and out of drivers seat, the steering wheel impedes me, and there is a long reach in order to steo out of car. I am short, maybe this is why I have a hard time!

Lovin it!

Far outshines the Lucid we had for 1 ½ years. This car does what it is supposed to do every time. The doors unlock, the seats adjust, the software recognizes the driver, & many other things to numerous to remember. The Lucid never did any of those things consistently. And we are getting as much as 4.2 mi/kWh around town & 3.6 mi/kWh on the highway @ 65 mph.

Great drive and even better value!

Offers a smooth and quiet ride with almost all the essential features included. App interface is simple and provides all the necessary information about the car. Remote control features (car lock, charge, window roll down, etc) are very useful. Only issue is the integrated Qi charger location is in the center console where the sun beat down on it directly, and the combination of induction charging and direct sun ends up overheating the phone. Also the SEL version doesn't have the driver seat memory settings. Therefore, if you have multiple drivers using the car, each driver has to reset all the seat, steering, and mirror settings separately before starting to drive.

Lots of little bug. Hasn't been perfect

I've been having difficulty setting up the charging schedule. Sometimes it works. sometimes not. The alignment was wrong when I got it. Had to get that fit. The skid plate fell off. A cover on the undercarriage. Had a fight getting them to cover that. I've called and had it in the shop to fix the charging schedule to no avail. It's awful to wake up and not have a charge! This is a very complex machine. It's taking me a while to figure everything out!

So far so good

We’ve had the Limited for about 2 months. The interior is great - roomy and well designed. Ride is incredibly smooth. Even in Eco mode there’s a lot of power and the range estimates on longer trips are pretty close to actual.

Great car, but disgraceful quality control on battery

The Ionic 5 is a terrific EV. Its design and engineering are fantastic. It drives very smoothly and quietly and is very comfortable to ride in. The amount of internal room is ample, both for passengers and cargo. The car accelerates like a sports car, and has many modern safety features. However, our traction battery failed after 1000 miles and had to be totally replaced, which took 4 weeks. Disgraceful quality control by Hyundai on the most expensive part in the car.

Great Car

The version I got is great . Nothing but compliments which is nice but we love it most of all. I don’t see how it’s not a luxury vehicle inside this car by any standards. The car flies on the freeway and snaps off the line. Ability to turn the AC on from my phone is more than a luxury to me. Charges super fast and learning to live with range anxiety . Oh no! I only have 250 miles at 75% charge how will I make it through a half hour drive? Easily my friend, it’s just fine shhhhhh! I do wish the All Wheel drive had been available in the limited trim and none available. I may have opted for the N but none available so I suffer through with a super fun , safe, luxurious, quiet EV and really who’s going to car jack me for a Hyundai? Much nicer and planned out dash than the T word . Actual knob controls where it counts and the visibility is astounding without cameras but it’s has them all over . Even the back seat is big enough for me at 6’3” very surprising. It’s not a compromise back seat . Zero percent for 72 Can’t beat it. Feels solid too.

My review

About the only thing I'd change are the displays and functionality of the displays. Not as customizable as I'd like.

Overall great car, some minor issues

Some of the minor issues that I’ll say are the constant updates the computer of the car makes. These updates are quick and easy but it seems like after an update something messes up and needs to be fixed in the next update, such as connectivity issues, I was going on 2 months without the ability to use CarPlay for some reason I couldn’t figure out. The charging port at the bottom of the feet has trouble charging my phone and connecting to Bluetooth/carplay as well. I don’t know what I could’ve done, I barely use it. But these small issues change quality of life especially when paying for what something I expect to work.

great car

Don't need another car other than this one, unless someone comes out with a far higher-range EV. I'm ok with the 318 miles this car gives me per charge. But sure, if I could somehow get 600 miles per charge, I'd make a change. Either way, very happy with Hyundai.
