Bought the car in early December - sight unseen but based on the reviews thought I'd love it. I do love it . . . BUT there are things I don't like. The lack of a wiper on the rear window is a BIG issue - in heavy rain, wet snow you literally cannot see out the window. The backup camera is useless when it's raining. Backing up in inclement weather is hazardous. Don't like that I have to reset my settings every time I start up the car - everything goes back to default and there are too many steps every time to reset once you start up again. I do get a lot of compliments on the car, it rides VERY WELL, is comfortable and spacious, but the above mentioned issues are annoying!

Great Car with typical EV limitations

In Jan, I traded in my 2020 Mercedes GLC 300 for the SE AWD. I can honestly say that the interior is quieter and the ride softer. The seats are great, and I love the interior layout. Plus, it’s been problem free. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. That being said I learned the hard way that buying any EV has limitations. Namely, finding a charging station on long trips, especially into rural areas. Then being prepared to drive a distance off the highway to get to one, and sit for up to an hour to get a 100% charge. I’m retired and 99% of my driving is local. This car would be very unsuitable if I did long trips that required “fill ups.” The Tesla charging network is much better for that.

Terrific car. Turns heads and tech options galore. I get over 300 mi on a full charge and with a level 2 charger in the garage, no range worries. Couldn’t be happier.

Bloated gadget centre on four wheels...

Let me start with the positive: We love the exterior aesthetic, and no problems with anything on the electric-side. We have the extended range AWD version, and the transition to electric, with all of the onboard support systems for managing has been easy. Kudos there! But unfortunately I have some poor experiences with this car: FIRST: Sadly, with this vehicle Hyundai turned its back on the car industry's century of cockpit evolution for drivers. Instead they leaped towards a gadget-forward, menu-centric, digital hell. I'm a driver with 30 years of driving experience in dozens of cars, who goes between plenty of rental cars, and also operates complex heavy equipment - I can readily adapt to reasonable differences. But with this vehicle I waste a lot of unnecessary time and frustration with the controls. This includes having to pull over and look things up once in a while - for things that should properly be intuitive, and NOT buried within menus or touch screens. The acute loss of tactile dials and buttons, in exchange for confusing icons and (surprisingly insensitive) touch-screens has a very real and negative impact on the ease of every-day driving. SECOND: I had to buy it without seeing a live version, and my first warning is that its hot-hatch look is very deceiving. Its a bulky beast that (other than the expected e-acceleration) feels like driving a minivan... Even in sport mode, it is a "luxury" ride that belies the look of the car. Cornering at speed is a disappointing experience, with chassis feeling strangely disconnected from the road. THIRD: Because of all of this bulk, there is little chance of safely backing-up w/o the camera - and in a Canadian winter the camera is always road-grimed. The option of looking through the back hatch is similarly obscured. Why not use the rear wiper you say? Oh, IT DOESN'T COME WITH ONE OF THOSE for some completely unknown reason... I've read some thoughts that the designers didn't feel it needed one given the streamlining or some such. I can vigorously contradict this with real-world winter driving (and even just dirt roads). For sure shouldn't have been allowed on the market without a wiper. In other conspicuously missing equipment, selling a SUV without roof rails - or other rack mounts is ridiculous. Coupled with an exposed charge hatch that collects snow and ice if you charge outdoors, and a spoiler that collects snow and ice, winters are definitely a challenge, due NOTHING to just battery limitations, which I was expecting. It's the lack of respect for a long history of practical industry experience on such basic things. Similarly, the touch-sensitive screens and "buttons" are challenged in the cold. The loss of dials for core climate control (w gloves on) is a particular nuisance. Other than the awesome (!) heated steering wheel and seats (if you can figure out how to turn them on - and get the touch screen to accept your cold finger to do so...), this is NOT a well thought out winter car!!! OVERALL: Stellar electrification, but incredibly handicapped by tossing-out practical driving controls. I am surprisingly disappointed as an owner, given the rave reviews I read before buying. I feel the above issues need much more consideration for anyone who expects practical drivability - particularly in winter conditions. If you are a tech-loving driver - that lives somewhere without winter, and doesn't really push a vehicle, this may well be the car for you. But, after only 20,000km, my wife and I are done with this car, and in the market for a more practical, smaller, and more fun vehicle.
Love It!!

I have to say so far I am liking my ioniq5. It is fun to drive and it's saving me plenty on gas. I am 6' and I have plenty of leg room while driving and passengers in the rear seats have great left room. It rides smooth and the interior cabin is quiet I'm still getting used to all the features but with 500 miles so far I definitely am happy with my purchase. Update. I have now had my Ioniq5 for 13 months and 10,500 miles and I'm just as happy with the car as I was on day one. I had no issues as far as charging goes, at first like most people transitioning from a gasoline car you worry about running out of electric but I never had an issue. It's been nice having 2 years of free charging as well. I am a little concerned hearing other Ioniq5 owners had major failure of the ICCU unit which seenlms to occur around the 1 year mark. I am at that point I hope my car is affected I will update if anything changes. I definitely would recommend the Ioniq5.
