love the car, but the warnings drive me NUTS

I love this car and bought a new 2025 to replace my 2023 which was totaled. however, the safety warnings which were already excessive in the 2023 only got worse - louder and triggered earlier - in the 2025. I KNOW my narrow driveway and these warnings bleep loudly every time I enter or leave my house. there needs to be a way to dial these warnings way back!!!

Traded in a BMW X1 for it

Excellent vehicle. A few complaints -- mostly to do with the electronics / user interface

Ioniq 5 2026

The digital screen with the temperature gauge and fan etc is VERY hard to read during daytime. It is a distraction to try to adjust things and potentially requires too much focus that should be spent looking at the road.

Great car for the price

I got an HI5 Limited and I love it. It's my baby. I've been buying accessories for it and am even making headway at clearing out space for it in the garage. Not there yet, but I keep on keeping on. The exterior is designed in a way that prevents drive through car washes from cleaning it properly, but that's okay. I just wash the car myself now.

Good car so far. But…

I have had the car for almost three months now and o have just noticed multiple potential problems and recalls. So. We will see how Hyundai responds.

Better Than Ever

I previously owned a 2024 Ioniq 5 which I thought was an almost perfect car. I recently purchased the 2026 and they've nailed it. Every minor (and I mean minor) inconvenience with the 2024 was fixed or improved in the 2026. First of all, its a beautiful car. You are not driving another version of every other SUV out there. The range is great and the charging at high speed stations is almost too fast (you don't have enough time to go grab some fast food). Through some kind of magic, they somehow, found a way to make the inside of the car larger than the outside. Everything is right where you want it and there are actual buttons to make it convenient. I love my Ioniq 5 (both of them)!

Excellent small SUV, great for city driving

Vehicle cabin is spacious, seating is very comfortable. Lane assist and smart cruise control are very handy for longer road trips. Some design elements could use some work: 1) The cup holders are too small throughout the vehicle - I had to purchase adapters to fit my water bottles (I use hydroflasks and sodastream bottles most commonly). 2) The fold-in door handles collect dirt easily and can be cumbersome to keep clean. This has not happened to me yet (I purchased my vehicle this spring), but I've also heard that people can have issues with the door handles freezing closed in winter months.

After considerable research, the Ioniq 5 SEL rose to the top

We researched every 2026 EV make and model available. The 2026 Ioniq 5 SEL provided the best EV tech, safety tech, build quality, and value. The 800V battery platform with native NACS charging and included type 1/2 charger and adapters assures that we'll be able to quickly charge the vehicle on road trips. The Hyundai Highway Driving Assist 2 offers most of the latest safety and semi-autonomous driving features currently available. And the build quality and comfort are excellent given the vehicle's MSRP. We expect to own and operate this vehicle for the next 8-10 years and intend never to purchase another ICE vehicle again.

This car would deserve 5 stars if the cruise control system were fixed

The Ioniq 5 is a fine car in almost all respects except for two leading issues: 1) the HVAC controls are poorly lit and located, making them difficult to see and adjust; 2) most importantly, the eye sensor-controlled cruise control system malfunctions almost continually, making the cruise control terribly annoying and virtually useless. Otherwise, the car drives beautifully, is comfortable (apart from slightly too-forward head rests) and quiet, and accepts rapid charging.

Love the car, bluelink dead from the lot

Car is great. Zero complaints. Everything as advertised besides the bluelink not working from the jump. Put in multiple services tickets and 2 responses in a 2 month period. Still doesn't work. Asked for updates and ignored. Not asking for the world here.
