Things we liked (as a family): 1. Was sold on the ride comfort - much better than our Tesla 2. VERY LOW road/wind noise - including on highway - it is quieter than our Audi that is more than double the price. 3. Great ergonomics - This car has build quality of a true luxury car. 4. Lot of interior space (driver/passenger compartment) - especially in the back seats - more than our BMW SUV 5. Interior lightning - at night the car is gorgeous 6. Cool design 7. Range - 303 miles - we live in a warm place and if we were to charge it 100% we are getting approximately 320-326 miles 8. Assisted driving features - the car even changes lane on the freeway when you put your turn signal indicator - this is included on this car vs. Tesla you will have buy the 12k option 9. Great visibility 10. Has Apple CarPlay. 11. Came with Michelin Tires 12. Has home link (don't have to pay extra unlike in our Tesla) 13. Super fast charging 14. 2 years free charging 15. Great warranty 16. Tax credit 17. GREAT VALUE for the price Things we didn't like: 1. Trunk space 2. Apple CarPlay wasn't wireless 3. Our SEL model didn't have glass panel roof 4. Have to buy a 240 V charger for home

Level 2 Charging at 2.9 kw/h?

I like most things about this car -- it's comfortable and easier to use than a Tesla. Unfortunately, it has a fatal flaw that Hyundai refuses to fix. That is, the charge port is prone to over-heating. This happens every time I try to charge the car on our home Level 2 charger. So, the car throttles back the charge rate to between 2-2.9 kw/h when in fact it should charge at 11 kw/h on a level 2 charger. What does this mean in real life? If I deplete the battery to 10% and charge the car overnight, I will only have about a 35% charge. This renders the car mostly useless for any longer trips because I know the next day it won't have sufficient charge. The dealer did not explain this problem -- I highly advise waiting to buy any Ioniq 5 or 6 until Hyundai has a working hardware fix.

New ioniq 5 awd limited lucid blue

Exterior- looks very good. Love headlights taillights design. Lacks rear view wiper as mentioned by many. Doors need to be shut close harder than my previous Audi which had three hinge levels and it would pretty much close on its own after you move door a little bit. This car doesn’t do that. Interior- love simple design, big screens arm rest console that moves back and forth, seats are the best, Bose stereo system is pretty good. Like panaramic sunroof. Remote app- this doesn’t work for me. Not able to remote start or do anything remotely using app. Apparently I have a ticket and blue link is working on it. Range- winter range on freeway speed is around 225 miles full charge. It could be as low as 200 I’m guessing. So far I have averaged 3 mi/kwh for my last 1000 miles which is pretty good for pnw winter that started early this year. Hoping to have over 250 mile range for winter. Main cons- remote app not working. Not a major con but you expect it to work after paying msrp of 58330 for this premium trim.

Meets expectations and more

Took delivery on 4WD SEL last week.Had high expectations based on reading reviews for 18 months. Interior is deceptively large and very comfortable. Car got 265 mile range on first charge. Pretty close to 268 claim given that most miles were hwy commuting and it's still winter. Lacks of rear wiper was a concern. My worries have gone down based on a week of rainy drives. I've driven hatchbacks for 30 years. The Ioniq 5 by far and away does the best job of redirecting airflow to keep the rear window clean at speed. I still wish it had a wiper because in spring pollen is going to cover it when parked and I'll have to clean it manually. Otherwise, the car has no drawbacks that I've detected in 1 week of ownership. I grow more attached to it each day. UPDATE: Just passed 40,000 EV miles. I commute 75 miles round trip each day. 45-50 mph is it's sweet spot. At those typical speeds I can always exceed the car's 268 mile range per charge. I typically get 300ish mile range from a full charge in mild and warm weather. Although, for normal commuting I charge at home every 3rd day to keep the battery between 20% and 80% for longer battery life. I drive with a light foot, and use the regenerative braking about 80% of the time to maximize range. My best range on a single charge was 334 miles. Going 70 mph or more, and using the heater in cold weather always results in less than it's rated 268 mile range. The interior is very large, very comfortable, and super quiet. As much as I love the car, we still use our hybrid Kia Niro for long road trips. Charging stations are still not abundant enough, reliable enough, and fast enough to make mid trip recharging convenient enough for us. Maybe in a few years. But, if you want a super commuter car and have your own level 2 charger, the Ioniq 5 should be on your short list of candidate EVs

Great car ... BUT

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!
