Initial experiences with our Hyundai ioniq 5

Overall we are very happy with the car. There are a few quirky things that a software update would probably fix. Of course it could also be human error and programming our settings! The locking and unlocking is one issue, number two is the two different profiles that we use seem to change settings for the other one that are different. Particularly the seat positions, and turning on and off the charging settings. Overall it is a very comfortable car a very quiet car has great acceleration, charges quickly and without issue. I would recommend this vehicle.

Ioniq 5 Limited

Excellent vehicle. Good power and comfortable ride. Unfortunately had to bring in for early service since someone at the factory forgot to install the rear bumper bar.

It's not a Tesla

I traded in my 5 yr old Tesla Model 3 for the Ioniq 5. There are some features on the Ioniq I like better than the Tesla and some features on the Tesla that I like better than tge Ioniq.

I Love This Car!

I had leased a 2024 Ioniq 5. I liked it so much I bought this 2026 Ioniq 5 as soon as I could. Many of the minor control and entertainment system quibbles I had with the 2024 model were corrected, and the vehicle has a beautiful fit and finish. Smooth, fast, comfortable, super-quick charging with great range, and load capacity - what's not to love! Cool color, too, I think they call it "Ultimate Red!"

Great Driving Vehicle

A pleasant and fun car to drive. Excellent comfort. Infotainment system too complex. An indexed owner's manual needed.

Best car I have ever owned

Everything has been well thought out. The smooth delivery of power is impressive. Interior perfectly designed with near luxury materials and the seats are super comfortable and supportive. The safety features work flawlessly. The back seats are comfortable and the rear legroom is almost unbelievable!!

Too many items removed from this trim level

Upgraded my 2023 to 2026 I would expect the same items included in the trim. BUT no heated steering wheel, no ambient lighting, no auto-close side mirrors. Why would these be removed? They are simple items. You don't expect to get the new same trim with less than what you had originally. Very very disappointed. Had I known these were not included any longer I would not have purchased the car.

Ioniq "Goat" 5

The Ioniq 5 is the best car I have ever owned or driven. I have been a fan of EVs for many years. The 5 has everything I want in a car: quietness, reliability, 300+ miles per charge (this is to 80%; going to 100% would be even more miles), and fun to drive. I am glad I purchased this car. It was not on my list of EVs to buy until I saw it at the D.C. Auto Show. After doing some research and a test drive I knew I wanted it. Thanks for the great car Hyundai.

Why do you need a title?

The ipedal setup with the stupid paddles is annoying. The ipedal itself works well, but it should be able to be set as the "normal" driving mode instead of the (again) stupid paddles. The use of Bluelink to spy on how I drive and then send that data to all of the insurance companies is a horrible invasion of privacy. I have not signed up for Bluelink because of this. Unfortunately, you made the radio information setup only available to those who sign up for Bluelink. That reduced my overall rating significantly.

Great vehicle, but it yells at me a lot

Love the car, drives well and is really comfortable. Only complaint is it has far too many system beeps and alerts.i don’t need it to make noise when i turn it on. The parking beeps make parking more challenging as they are highly distracting. I should be able to disable the parking alerts for longer, right now each time I shift gears the alerts are re enabled. If I’m parallel parking I could shift gears four times. Also, I need a way to disable emergency breaking if I have a bike rack on the back.

Quirky but fun.

Fun to drive very comfortable on longer drives. However, there are many quirks that drive me nuts (parking sensors, trying to restart if you accidentally tried to engage drive or reverse without your foot on brake, start up screen experience seems to be different each drive.

Good but still ruff in some areas

I enjoy the car over all, but the driver attention system is a bit too in the strict side. It’s constantly telling me to watch the road, when I’m literally staring at the car in front of me.
