Quirky and fun, in mostly good ways

I had a few non-negotiables for my next EV: Have a phone-based key, one-pedal driving, NACS charge port. What I eventually found in the Limited trim was all of that plus a bunch of tech and comfort features that make the car an excellent value. My previous EV's have been Leaf's and Teslas (S, 3, Y). The build quality is solid, no rattles or squeaks, no misaligned panels. The matte paint is pretty great, even if it does require more care. The only negatives is that it does not remember your drive mode (anything other than sport is lame), or the regen level (one-pedal is the only "right" choice). It would also be nice if it locked when you walked away from it. The acceleration curve is also not very smooth, especially in reverse which is not precise because of the lack of one-pedal and sticky hold functionality. Once you get out of those start-up quirks, it's fun to drive.

The car is really good, but the customer service is not...

Iam very satisfied with the vehicle itself, but the customer service has been extremely disappointing.

I love my Ioniq 5

This car is all that I hoped it would be. It's quiet and comfortable to drive, has good visibility, and great safety features. The only missing thing I wish it had is a sunglasses holder.

I like my 2026 Ionique 5. I like its appearance, the way it drives and its EV range. What I don’t like is the lower display screen - the icons are impossible to read if it’s dark outside. I have increased the display light to its maximum per the manual’s instructions. My sales person was not able to help me beyond the manual’s instructions. I have complained to Hyundai previously but have not gotten a response. I’m disappointed. I consider this to be a safety hazard. I am 79 years old but my eyesight is good. My wife has the same complaint. She also has good eyesight.

Maybe I got a bad one?

I have had nothing but problems since purchasing this car since buying this car in July. Half the electronics work intermittently on the passenger side. Side mirror won’t open, door handles won’t open or close , charging door won’t open and digital rear view doesn’t work. Been trying to get it fixed for over a month and the dealership hasn’t been helpful. Wish I never switched from Honda.

As Expected

Having just rolled past 3,000 miles, my experience has been what I had hoped. Efficiency has been pretty spot on. Comfort and ride quality is great. Software has some issues, but hopefully that's a work in progress. My biggest gripe is with the charge schedule and how easily the plastic panels scratch.

Nice exterior, that's all.

The worst decision I've ever made was switching to this car. It looks cheap, the interior is awful—especially the center console—and unplugging the charger when it's done charging is always a hassle because it won't disconnect. The car's exterior design is nice, but everything else is mediocre. The radio and apps like Pandora stop working occasionally, and the screen says they're unavailable at that moment. The worst part is that the battery drains very quickly.

Distorted glass, great range

If your brain doesn't register the glass distortions, you'll like the car. If it does, move with caution.

Off road/ not

I purchased this car after my EV six( had it over 4 years) was destroyed by a deer collision. Unfortunately, the limited supply of Kia and Hyundai electrics limited my choice. I found only this car available when I need one) I only have one car.) I ended up within XRT instead of a limited Ioniq five. It’s a wonderful car however it felt too dark on the interior and I was concerned about the range. Nevertheless, when I charge it fully, it reached 337 miles and it has performed very well. It even might have a smoother ride on our bumpy neighborhood roads then would’ve been the limited version. I also look forward to the winter in snow country due to the all weather tires.

Love my car!

This is my first EV. While there is a learning curve involved in planning for a long trip, it is so worthwhile when gas prices are so painfully high.

Great car with a few potential areas for improvement

The Ioniq 5 is a really good all-around EV. It’s comfortable, quiet, spacious, and genuinely fun to drive, with excellent handling and very fast DC charging. The design also gives it a lot more personality than most EVs and, at the right price, it feels like a lot of car for the money. The biggest drawbacks are the somewhat limited range and some overly intrusive driver-monitoring features. Still, the combination of comfort, practicality, driving enjoyment, charging speed, and value makes the Ioniq 5 a very appealing package.
