Overall a great car, with a few minor annoyances

Overall a great car, and I'm very happy with it. It drives and handles well, with fantastic acceleration. (Cornering isn't as good - it's a heavy car.) Range is good. Fast-charge rates are fantastic. Overnight at-home charging is fantastic. The controls are well-organized. The cruise control and lane-keeping and lane-changing features are a game-changer for my long commute. Plenty of space for my tall family and our stuff. I like how it looks. A few complaints: * The wireless charging pad is nearly useless, because it is slow and it overheats. There needs to be less thickness between the actual coils and the phone - there's too many layers now. And magsafe would be a huge improvement. * The boot-up message with the countdown timer is slow and annoying. 95% of the time it's just me driving, and it doesn't need to wait for me to confirm it. It should be able to tell from which key was used. * The remote start / remote climate features need work, especially for third-party integrations. There's basically no good way to configure the car to turn on the climate at the end of my workday, between the car deciding that it won't do it because it's not on the charger, or limiting how long it runs, or doing it in some sort of low-power mode for third-party integrations. This seems like such a simple idea, and it seems like they tried to make it work, but it just doesn't actually work, in practice.

Love my Ioniq 5!

I have been a Hyundai owner for a long time, and when I was searching for an EV, I am glad I ended up with the Ioniq 5.

Good looking car, great comfortable interior. Biggest faults: interface is slow to load, and the mobile app leaves a lot to be desired.

A car with lots of patches, bad dealership and horrible manufacturer

Ioniq has soybased insulation in HVAC system that attracts mice in the ventilating system-- and I received a new car from Brandfon Hyundai with a dead mice. Hyundai motor, dealer, finance could not care less! Never buying Hyundai again.

The best EV on the market for me.

Excellent balance of features for the price. I am extremely happy with the NACS charge port, physical buttons/controls being available, very long range, high efficiency, fast charging, cameras, and all safety features.

Great small suv

We love this car with just a few complaints. Surprisingly roomy especially in the rear seats. Unfortunately the head rests in the back seat except for the middle seat are not adjustable. This is a problem for installing children booster seats. Another annoying problem is software upgrades reset driver preferences for the second designated driver.

Pro and Cons of Hyundai IONIQ SEL 5

Following are the Pros. 1. Love the accleration 2.The Navigation and handling. Cons. 1. The seat belt cuts into the neck. The lowest adjustment is still high. 2. Wish the head room was slight bigger. I hit the roof most of the time I am just 5ft.4" Wish. I wish the seat moves back when I open the door and moves forward when I close.
