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.

Inadequate range

The Ioniq 5 SE is quiet and smooth riding. But has inadequate EPA range and lack of safety features

My Second Ioniq 5

I owned a 2022 Ionic 5 and got the 2026 one to replace it. All issues I had with the 22 have been addressed in the 2026 version

Fun and Comfortable Driving

2026 Ioniq 5 Limited AWD has performance when you need it, and the long wheelbase provides a smooth comfortable and quiet ride. The spacious Cabin has very nice seats, several storage spaces, and an adjustable center-console. The most-used settings for accessories are available on physical buttons and switches, as well as the menu system. With just over 6000 miles, I'm smiling when I drive. Love the steering-wheel mounted regeneration select paddles and use them much more than the physical brakes. Ability to have economical charging at home is great as well.

Hyybdai got it right with the Ioniq5

We bought the car for my wife to drive. She wanted an electric car because she did not want to go to the gas stations, but she did not want a Tesla because there are no buttons or knobs. I was surpirsed that it has the same range as a Tesla Model Y plus the 2026 Ioniq5 has the same charging port as a Tesla and you can go to Tesla Super Chargers.

Great car but no charger

Love my car but the charger was not working so we had to order a new one. Six weeks later still no charger so we have to go to charging stations to charge our brand new 2026 $ 40,000 car

So powerful

I purchased the Limited edition and it has every safety and creature feature that I can imagine. It is bigger on the inside than it appears from outside. I was first drawn to the KIA E 6 for styling but the Ionic 5 has all the same features on a roomier package. It has dual motors and the acceleration and responsiveness is the best I have experienced including a Nissan Maxima- by far. It’s very FUN to drive.

Delivers -

The ride is comfortable and quiet, with lots of space in the back. This is my first EV and I am sold. The range is also very satisfactory. I like the display as I have eschewed the most popular EV due to the single center Tablet display that I find dangerous and annoying.

Excellent Small SUV EV

THis car seems like a very nice crossover from someone new to EVs. The dash setup is more conventional than other EVs that we drove (e.g., Tesla and MachE have the "iPad" control system with little to no contextual controls). Many nice features that I am sure most 2026 year cars have (including gas powered versions). Very comfortable and I particularly like that the charging port conforms to the Tesla form factor making it seamless to charge on the road at Tesla stations.

Nice Vehicle, terrible support and dealership experience

Price changed in the last minute when i was about to pay at dealership. Broken charger that could not get replaced yet despite a visit to dealeshp service. their suggestion after waiting 45 min was to wait 1.5h more because it was lunch break, and if i wanted something fast i should buy a new charger. while this is dealership, is part of the brand an experience

A good choice in today's EV landscape

The 2026 Ioniq5 SEL AWD is an excellent car. It feels solidly planted on the road, handles curves without body sway, is very quiet on the highway, and has the combination of good range and fast DC Fast charging that makes it a good road tripper. Around town it drives easily, is efficient, and provides effortless travel in congested streets and stop and go driving.
