My new Ionic 5 has become my favorite EV
I have driven a 2024 Model Y for two years now as my first EV. When it came time for a new vehicle I chose an Ioniq 5 AWD Limited. Although I enjoyed driving the Tesla, I think the Ioniq 5 had surpassed it in many ways. It's just as fast, but the ride and quietness far exceeds the Tesla where I could feel every bump in the road and it had a lot of tire and wind noise. The lane centering (autosteer) in the Tesla is quite cumbersome to use because you have to re-engage it every time you make a lane change which is very tiring on a road trip. Also it tightens up the steering wheel when engaged. With the Ioniq 5 the lane centering is just there in the background and works very well with a light touch on the steering wheel. The other thing that is welcome is not having to use the touchscreen for virtually everything. The wiper controls on the stalk are so nice to have again! All in all the Ioniq 5 is very user friendly, comfortable, and easy to live with.
