Good EV with some software quirks

The ioniq 5 is a great car and a good EV but I’d love to see software improvements such as more preference persistence between restarts, faster startup / less confirmations, the removal of the start button entirely and a more responsive phone app.

Really Cool Vehicle

This is my first EV. Never thought I would purchase one, but the dealer incentives and rebates made it a compelling offer. After the test drive, I was hooked. I love the styling of the Ioniq 5, the technology is amazing, it has great range and is fun to drive for a crossover. I have purchased nothing but Honda products for the past 19 years, but Hondas lack of EV's made me leave and walk into a Hyundai dealership... and I'm glad I did! I'm just so impressed with the packaging of this vehicle. It's very disappointing that Honda and Toyota cannot compete with the Koreans in the EV space, but they lost a customer in me and Hyundai gained one!!

Ionic 5

This car replaces our VW Id4 and it is a better car for comfort, technology. Not as much storage as the VW. Battery capacity is good.

My Second IONIQ 5 and Oh, What an Improvement!!

My first IONIQ 5 was a 2022 SEL, one of the first ones delivered to my state. Solidly built, comfortable and roomy. Had some first-model-year issues with the ICCU and 12V battery but Hyundai repaired all issues. The car was a joy to drive and my confidence in the brand drove me to trade in my 2002 for a 2026 Limited. The 2026 is much refined from the 2022 with many standard features that are optional in most other brands. The ride is smoother and quieter and the range is better than the EPA estimate by more than 10%. For the money, this is the best EV on the market, combining comfort, interior space, reliability, affordability and economical operation.

Love the car but it came with a damaged (scratched) wheel. Dealership would not help with this issue

Superb car filled with great features.

Quiet, Smooth Riding, and Spacious. I love the feel and function of this car. It's at a great price and has everything you could want. Much better than my Tesla Model Y and my Audi Q6.

A great entry into the world of electric vehicles.

I was hesitant to purchase an electric car mainly because I don’t know much about them. I have now owned a Ioniq 5 for almost three months and I am very happy with it. Simple to charge at home, amazing comfort and safety features and it is very appealing to the eye. It has a nice mix of buttons and screen. Highly recommended.

2026 ioniq

We leased an Ioniq 5 for 2 years prior to purchase of a 2026 model. We enjoy driving the car. It’s comfortable, fun to drive, has good acceleration and accessories.

2026 Ionic 5

Overall a solid vehicle, though there were characteristics I found lacking: - No heated steering wheel - No overhead camera view - No cooled seats - Stereo does not "save state" when car is turned off, e.g., if Sirius is selected with Favorites activated, turning car off/on will return stereo to default. It would be MUCH better if the stereo's previous state was saved, or at least provided an option to activate/deactivate

Almost perfect, minor annoyances ruin the day

This car is so, so nice to drive. I love most things about it. I mostly recommend it. However, Hyundai makes some absolutely baffling choices that all seem minor, but are even more infuriating because they are so easy to fix. 1. Crappy "paper" covering on the side door panels. This is a luxury (select trim) car, why is it covered in paper? Use durable materials 2. Why the heck can you not keep your drive mode? You gave me the ability to create a custom drive mode, why do I have to switch to it every time, even though every other drive mode will stay when you set it!? 3. Why can you not keep the regenerative braking level at either Auto or i-Pedal??? Again, every other setting, just fine. One of those two? You have to set it every time. Just let me keep it in Auto, and stop making me change it every time I'm in the car. 4. Why, when two phones are paired to the car, do you not just auto connect to the carplay of the profile selected? 5. Why does it take like 20 full seconds to confirm a profile in the car? Just optimistically render and then set the other settings behind the scenes. This isn't a super computer here, my macbook can boot up in like 5 seconds. 6. THE BIGGEST ONE. What the heck is up with the door locking? Like seriously? My 10 year old car had auto-lock on walk away. This car doesn't. Okay fine, maybe I can get used to it. Wait, you can't lock the door from the inside as you're getting out. Why!? Then, you have to use their crappy capacitive touch button that straight up does not work 60% of the time. Not to mention, the car randomly locks out my wife, who isn't the primary digital key holder, and she has to log out of and back into blue link. What are you doing here? Each one of these is a horrible experience that would be so easy to fix. First add auto lock when you walk away, second allow your users to lock their doors from the inside if they so chose, third add an actual button on the outside to lock/unlock the door, fourth fix your buggy software that is actually pretty dangerous because it could strand someone.
