Favorite car of my life (so far)

Tons of performance and value in a very day-to-day-friendly package. While the performance is super-car level (call it a "hyper hatch"), and there are some trade-offs, those trade-offs are nothing like the old days of needing to buy a coupe was massive doors and terrible rear seats, or no rear seats at all, or having to spend six figures (back when six figures meant even more than it does today) on a vehicle of questionable reliability with extremely expensive maintenance (European options). There really is no true competitor with this feature set from capabilities to fun-to-drive factor to practicality.

drivers seat

The drivers seat NEEDS to be powered. it is so hard to get into a comfortable driving position with the manual seat and it makes the 70000 dollar car feel cheap!!!!!! and the hatch and door panels squeak a lot and it is very annoying and again makes the 70000 dollar car feel cheap!!!!

Setting the Bar For EV Sportscars

The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is an SUV with the DNA of a sportscar. With how quick and nimble it can be on winding roads, you easily forget that it is nearly 5,000 lbs. It has a spacious interior fit for a small family, but the well-bolstered front seats keep you snug in place during spirit driving. As an EV, the higher price tag and lower battery range limit its market demographic. However, if you're looking for an EV that brings all the fun of a high-performance ICE vehicle, the cons are plenty justified.

Hyundai ioniq 5N, a nice surprise

This vehicle is a practical 4 door hatchback turned into a performance car. It has way more configurable settings than I will ever need, but they are there if I want to adjust them. The best part is that you don’t have to, you can drive it as it is using the pre configured settings. I was a little sad that some of the premium model features, power seats, heads up display and sunroof were left out of the car, especially since it is priced above the top optioned limited model.

A great car, just needs better range.

It’s a lot of fun to drive. Faster then my 2015 hellcat and handles better. I use this car as my daily driver and I have a lot of fun on my commute. I just think it can use more range. I’m in California with a lot of infrastructure for EVs, but owning this car in another state would be tough.

Love the Ioniq 5 N!

I bought the Ioniq 5 N as my first electric vehicle after seeing numerous enthusiast posts on social media and car magazines singing its praises and I have not been disappointed. I've owned performance cars from most makes over the years including Porsche, Audi, and BMW and I love this one as much or more. Great overall job my Hyundai.

Best car made!

The car does everything superbly well and the range is not a big deal since i charge at home. The handling, acceleration, reliability and practicality are second to none!

Defective Battery Pack

I brought my 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5N to the dealer service department 3 weeks ago for a "Check Electrical System" warning light and was told by the service manager that the issue is a defective battery pack that needed to be replaced. He said the battery pack is on order but does not have a firm date of when it will be available. Reading some posts online, it seems that there have been several incidents of battery pack failure and that some people have had to wait months for the replacement packs. It is unacceptable for the vehicle to be out of service for such an extended time. I have had the 5N for only a year and driven it less than 6500 miles. It is a 2 year lease and I am very concerned that I may not see the car repaired before the lease expires next year.

Hyundai Ioniq 5N - one year later

The car's retro style looks great. Performance is also top-notch. The ride is a little firm but compliant. Handling is good. The range is too low. There needs to be some work on the controls. For example, I can't see the AC temperature controls with my sunglasses on. The organization and dependencies of the advanced driving features need optimization. Above all, the car is fun to drive.

2025 Ioniq 5 N

The Ioniq 5N is a very fun car, but should have more top features that other Ioniq 5 models have. HUD, motorized seats with memory settings, more seat adjustments, better sound system, moonroof, etc. are all things that should be included at this price point. It’s easy to ignore those missing items during spirited driving, but are a constant reminder of missing items on normal daily driving.

Reliability and service are iffy at best

Bought the car brand new. After 7 months and 2 thousand miles, the EV battery went dead. It took Hyundai and the dealership nearly 3 months to diagnose, approve a new EV battery, and then get it replaced. The other day my 12V battery went dead, another know issues in these cars.

ICCU Failure

Less than 12 months of ownership and not even 12,000 miles on the vehicle ICCU has failed. Not only has it failed I’ve been told the part is on back order with no discernible timeframe on the repair or return of my vehicle. Based on my case 41382596 I was denied any compensation for what could be months before my vehicle is returned. No EV loaner was able to be fulfilled and it’s no promise I will be compensated for the fuel I have to now purchase. I will be paying for a car I can’t drive, and now paying for gas on lease that I am losing time of my ownership experience. Before this event I was a diehard fan of the product and I even planned to get an Ioniq 6 N. But Hyundai was aware this part was failing and has not made any attempts to express ship and produce these parts to consumers is unacceptable. In addition the paint easily chips, and the interior door inserts peel at the slightest scratch.

It doesn't get any better than Ioniq 5 N

They made an EV that delivers on everything! The performance is not done justice with a rating of 10. You have to go to the track to find the limits but its more fun on the road than you can explain in words as all the car reviewers fell short. It fits 5 people or a whole home project in the back. Range is exactly as advertised and so is charging performance and driving down the Pacific coast was no problem even in the 100 degree California heat. I will say it could be more comfortable just because roadtriping with bucket seats can get uncomfortable but to me you'd have to spend time than I did so I gave it a 9. Awesome car...time is the only remaining test.

If there's a first EV to "try out", this is it!

I sold my 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio for QV with great apprehension to a lovely couple. But, I was quite eager and curious to try out the I5N based on vids and reads. While I still feel that the Alfa is much more lovely to behold, the I5N has an appeal of its own. This large "hatch" with a boxy, origami style design is very well put together. It feels solid; there are no rattles and squeaks. For such a heavy vehicle, its power is prodigous and propels in such a smooth (and dizzying) fashion I had not experienced in brisk driving in my Alfa. The "ignition, futuristic and jet" sounds are entertaining despite their very arcade quality. The ability to make the EV behave as if it had "gears" is refreshing when you want or miss "shifting". The sound and behavior characteristics through the "gears" are actually good references to the vehicle's behavior and driver's responses. The Bose sound system is excellent. Space management is stellar compared to the Alfa's. Especially the rear seating with no driveshaft tunnel. The rear seats recline and slide. The Alfa's were set and somewhat upright. The steering of the Alfa, however, was much more direct. THAT, I miss !! The I5N does not give me the same steering sensitivity and acuteness. As I drive only less than 50 miles a day, I stuck with the Level 1 12 amp charging at home up to 80%. I did get credit through Hyundai for their supercharger access should I need to, however. So far, it's been a non issue. Cargo room is very decent, too. Friends who've ridden and experienced the level of acceleration and rapidity at which it can do so were "shocked", perhaps even frightened. The lack of sound in EV's and the smoothness of the delivery confuses the senses, I feel, and may contribute to a bit of nausea for some. In any event, it's my first foray into the EV experience. I likely won't experience a race track test but I'll take the reputable auto journalists words out there. I certainly like the build quality and dash layout over the drab and hyper minimalistic approach of the Megalomaniac! (You KNOW !!) Well done, Hyundai!
