Fair rating

I gave you my count. More than happy to drive the car but believe that Hyundai owes me an accounting to help me out on this new car.

A Highly Efficent, Comfortable, Fun to Drive Electric Vehicle

After I leased the car, I read a New York Times piece reviewing 11 of the best electric cars on the market. They rated the Hyundai Ioniq 5 number one. I was so pleased, but not surprised. It's a great car.

Great, well built, well balanced, fun and attractive car

The Ioniq 5 is a joy to drive and easy to live with. It is an easy EV to deal with, charges quickly and can access most Tesla DC fast chargers. The Ioniq handles well on back roads, in the snow and on dirt roads. Something that Hyundai could improve on is the phone app - not as user friendly as the Tesla app (and the car needs dog and sentry modes).

Very happy with my Ioniq 5

I am very happy with my Ioniq 5. I had been leasing a Tesla Model 3 and am very happy with the switch I made to buy an Ioniq 5. It is an excellent EV with that incredibly fast, quiet, and smooth acceleration. The interior is very comfortable, and in fact my passengers like the ride quite a bit more than the Model 3.

Going electric

If you ever want a better driving experience, rent a Ioniq 5 or a Kona electric. We rented a Kona while on vacation and were struck by how quiet it was that the sight lines out of the car were great. And it seemed like it had an unlimited charge, and it was fun to drive. When I came to change my commuter Impreza. I looked at the Ioniq 5, it does everything the Kobe did but better. Inside it looks like a 50 k car but it’s half the price and I will hopefully spend next to nothing on fuel and maintenance. As a commuter I don’t think you can do better. If you can swing an extra 10k you might want to try the dual motor. That might be fun owning a large pocket rocket.

Easy Transition From Internal Combustion Engine

Ergonomics, display layout, and computer analytics easy to use. Jury is out for a road trip and possible range anxiety. I have not used a public charge station yet, except at the mall with free Level 2. One body panel is not even, otherwise the build quality is very high.

Love my quiet electric Ioniq 5

Love the quietness with a good sound system, ,height because I never had an SUV and am no longer a pretzel, and car and Home Screen buttons because it is easy to use.

I love driving this car

This is my first EV and I absolutely love driving this car. It is quick, quiet and comfortable. The electronics and additional interior touches are fantastic. I am so happy with my choice to buy this car.

2026 Ioniq 5 Review

I researched Electric Vehicles for nearly two years and I landed on the Ioniq 5 and could not have been happier with my decision.

Never going back to gasoline

Lots of room. Lots of zip when needed. No gas. What could be better?

Leased in February 2026

70 days driving this car and I am very happy with how it handles on the road. We've been EV drivers for a decade, and this model provides the most advanced technology out there in the EV market.

Better than expected range

The SEL model is missing a lot of features I grew to love in the Ioniq 6 Limited, but it is still pretty nice. The range is better than advertised for me- which is great!

Great EV which is fun to drive.

I think the motor/battery/acceleration/regenerative breaking integration works well. The cruise control w distance following algorithm excellent.

Maybe not as good as the 23

We love our 26 Ioniq 5. The road noise is negligible. The battery seems better than the '23. We really miss the heated steering wheel. The screen also seems less flexible than the '23. Still mostly glad we traded, but wouldn't have expected less amenities.

Second time buyer.

I loved the 2023 I had so I got a 2026 just like it. My only complaint about the 2023 was that it didn't have a rear window wiper. You fixed that, but took way the folding mirrors.

Love this car, but one thing...

Absolutely love this car. I have wanted one since it came out in 2021. Love the look of it. Love how it rides and how it drives. I was fortunate to be able to buy one in February of 2026. I bought an SEL RWD model in White. Love the interior room, every time my wife gets in the car she says how much she loves it and the space it has. Now for the but... The cars software for the Forward Attention Warning system is absolutely awful. I own two other Hyundai models, a 2021 Elantra Limited hybrid and a 2025 Santa Fe Hybrid. These two vehicles i have not had an issue with they have been perfect, especially the Santa Fe, and it's FAW. The FAW in the Ioniq is so bad, I can't even use the cruise control without it disengaging. I have tried it with polarized sunglass, without polarized sunglass, or with out sunglass altogether and it still doesn't work right. If that could be fixed with a software update, that would be an amazing win so that I could use the car with the tech that I was supposed to get.
