It's very good. But, it should have been better.

The Ioniq 5 N checked a lot of the boxes that I had for my next car. It looks great! The performance is undeniable. And, it's quite practical for everyday life. The issue that I have with the car is: it doesn't appear that Hyundai acted to resolve several problem areas that customers have complained about for years before I got the car. One example is the rattling rear hatch. It's so loud that passengers have even asked "what is that". The 12 volt battery went dead less than 12 months after I got it. And, I am not confident enough in the car to take it on any trips. Due to a lurking question that is always in the back of my mind: is the ICCU about to go out? Having to have my 10 month old car towed to the dealership when it wouldn't start (dead 12 volt) didn't help to improve my confidence level in that regard. If Hyundai had fully resolved these types of issues before releasing the 5 N it would be pretty much the perfect car for me. And, why does this car not have a HUD?

Just what I wanted

Fast. Fun. Practical. Just wish it had a glass roof and would get more “fun” updates.

Great car with (I think fixable) flaws.

Actually almost perfect for my needs

My near ideal blend of performance and practicality. Satisfies my need for performance and my wife's desire to ride in a roomy, comfortable car. The car's performance is so effortless yet somehow so exciting it's otherworldly. I also appreciate that you can easily set and accept performance modes and custom modes without digging deep into the menu. In terms of practicality, I have a 2 year old and another one soon on the way, and the car more easily accepts rotating car seats, never mind a rear facing infant seat, and the trunk can fit a wagon to carry both of them. With that said, I do have a few nits to pick with the car, especially the US spec. I am quite disappointed that the US spec doesn't come with HUD and rear side window sunshades. I could live without the panoramic glass roof that is in other markets, but the first two are sorely missed. Also, while I do appreciate how quickly it charges, I do wish that it had about 20% greater range. That would provide a lot more flexibility when it comes to trip planning. And while I am okay with manual seats, and I do find the seats fantastically supportive and comfortable, I do wish that the front of the seat bottom would go down a bit lower. Lastly, the car has developed creaks coming to near stops or on full lock turns at near stops as if the bushings have completely dried out. Its quite disconcerting, and I wonder if that is due to me buying a car that was manufactured 5+ months prior.

Great hot hatch

Hyundai delivers a great car and seems to be the first to make an electric car that is fun to drive

A highly flawed step in the right direction

Needs work

Excellent Vehicle, with a sub-standard app

The vehicle itself is excellent. The design aesthetics and engineering to provide a fun EV to drive are all evident in the Ioniq 5N. However, the phone application "Hyundai with Bluelink" is not written well. The UI is pretty messy, and for the last 2 month I have a presistent crash whenever opening the "Charge" menu on the phone app. This is frustrating because the app development team says they are aware of it, and implimenting a fix, but it's been a month and a new version of the app was released which didn't fix it. To be clear, this is a known crash with iOS 26 and the charging menu in the Apple app. I wish the development team would step it up, and offer an app experience similar to Tesla's.

Dual Personality Disorder on Wheels

That Blue Link app is a pain to use, and it doesn't even have any N model features you can start from it. Onboard navigation for electric vehicles use is far from being usable for navigation with electric vehicles.

The 5N is very fast, very comfortable, very fun to drive and a great EV. It was frustrating when the ICCU failed and left me stranded after only 5000 miles. It was also frustrating that it took a month at the dealer to fix. It was even more frustrating to learn that ICCU issues have plagued Ioniq 5 and other E-GMP platform vehicles since they were introduced years ago, and still Hyundai has no solution. I would not recommend the car due to this issue.

It’s ok

it’s the car that I had wanted—a fun, unique car that handles pretty well (for a crossover.) It’s the details I’m disappointed in. Like, seriously, no walk away locking? I have ice cars that are over five years old that do this. The software isn’t as good as Tesla’s, which is what I had before this. But it does have turn stalks which is a plus. Also I’d expect a hud, which the lower trims have, but the n doesn’t? Just doesn’t seem right for where the car is positioned. After this lease is over I’m going to walk away from Hyundai.

Just lacks tech and better software

Vehicle is great, super fun to drive and obviously fast. The interface and some tech features are inconsistent. Door unlock on walk up is wildly inconsistent. There's no auto door lock on walk away which is a massive oversight on a vehicle that advertises itself as unlocked by sticking the door handles out. The app is limited compared to other EV maker's apps.
