We leased a 2024 Ioniq5 Limited RWD about a month ago and so far it is generally a great ride. Here are my pros and cons: Pros: - Solid range. I generally get about 4 miles per kilowatt hour in mixed highway and city driving so the 300 mile range seems realistic. You lose some power with the RWD version, but the car does not feel slow. I would take the range over the acceleration, but I also live in an area that has a mild climate so traction is not an issue for me. I believe the 2025 model will have a battery with more energy storage, which should improve range a bit. - Quicker DC fast charging than just about any other mainstream EV if you get the right charger - Highly customizable regen braking options including one-pedal drive. I actually find the best thing to do is vary the regen level based on driving conditions and rarely use the friction brakes. I never used shift paddles on ICE cars, but I absolutely use them here. The coast function is also really helpful when you have a decent stretch of straight, open secondary road. - Very good driver assist features. Highway Drive Assist 2 is very smooth, smoother than our other car, a 2022 Audi Q5. The lane-keep function can be a little darty on some stretches of freeway. The side-view, 360 and rearview mirror cameras are fantastic and extremely useful especially a rear windshield wiper will not be available until 2025. If you are doing a lot of city driving and tight parking, the Limited is worth it. - Very roomy, open interior. I'm 6'2" with size 14 feet and a lot of cars feel really cramped (see the Polestar 2). The Ioniq 5 is great for taller drivers and the leg extension on the Limited also helps with seat comfort. The ride is also generally smooth and comfortable. - I do love the look. Nothing else looks like it and it beats the sea of Model 3s and Model Ys. Cons: - The infötainment system is fine but not spectacular. Our Audi has crisper graphics and fonts. The Audi is much easier to read in all light conditions, but the Hyundai has larger screens and can display two functions at once, which is helpful. The Audi Virtual Cockpit dash is much more configurable than the dash screen on the Ioniq 5 (note pricing is very similar for the Ioniq 5 Limited and the Q5 so this is a valid comparison). The Hyundai screens can be washed out in the sun whether you have the light or dark color scheme on. The interface is slated to get an update in 2025 and there will likely be hard buttons for heated/ventilated seats, which will be nice. Note the ventilated seats do work well. - No USB C ports and wired CarPlay/Android Auto. I don't care that much about wireless CarPlay but I know others do. I do wish there were some USB-C ports though. - Bose stereo could be better - The turning circle could be tighter - NACS (Tesla) plug and Supercharger access will come later. It's a lot better if you have home charging or access to cheap chargers at the office. Yes, there are nits to pick with the Ioniq 5, but overall this really is a great effort from Hyundai. It may not have some of the trip planning and battery management technology in the Model 3/Y, but it has normal controls, better cameras, a roomy, comfortable interior with some actual design elements and the Ioniq is a lot less likely to get lost in a parking lot. If you need to get a new car now, I think you'll be really happy with the Ioniq 5. However, if you can wait for the 2025 model, a lot of the cons should be addressed, making this an even better choice.

I’ve owned this vehicle for a year. The good - Comfortable, composed ride. Absorbs potholes well and a poised overall ride especially on longer road trips. Buttons are nicely laid out, work well (although a few are haptic). Just nice to have buttons instead of having to rely exclusively on the main screen. Range is good in the summer (warmer weather) but drops by up to 25% in the winter. Charging is fast if you are using a fast charger but using a 240v second level home charger, it still takes a good 7 hours to charge from empty. The bad - someone rear ended our vehicle which required a replacement of the rear bumper and the wiring harness for one of the rear brake lights. Turns out you cannot replace just the pigtail connecting the rear lights. The entire wiring harness for half the vehicle has to be replaced in order to address the one tail light replacement. Hyundai Dealership quoted $12k!! Which is insane for such a minor issue. My view, design flaw. Multiple recalls over the course of this year. These are mostly software updates to address issues and unfortunately no over the air updates. Have to bring it to dealership which is a time hog. Also because of the multiple recalls, quick appointments are hard to come by. 12 volt battery issue (which was also part of one of the recalls). Battery just died out of the blue on a 2023 Ionic 5 with 8k miles. No warning. Had to call roadside assistance to jump the vehicle before I could drive it to dealership. Turns out it’s a well known problem. Tow truck driver told me he has seen 8 of the same problem in other Ionic 5s over the course of the year! Dealership finally admitted it was an issue. Initially they said battery is fine and finally agreed to replace it. A stressful experience to say the least. Btw, I was told by the same tow truck driver that on a Tesla, there is a manual override option which allows for a bypass of the 12 volt (using the propulsion battery instead) so the car turns on. Not so with the Ionic 5. Don’t know if this is true. I really wanted to like this car but frankly surprised at the sheer volume of recalls, the design flaw (which I would not have known about if it wasn’t for the accident) and now the 12 volt issues. The battery issue is particularly concerning because it can die with no warning. No advance notice. As such, the dealership suggested I keep a jumper cable (with battery) in the car in case it dies which I think is ridiculous for a vehicle this new. For context, my previous electric vehicle had none of these issues.

I picked up my Ioniq 5 and it drove smoothly around the side street route the salesman guided me on. On the drive home I noticed a definite vibration in the 65-75mi range. After a few days of confirming this, I brought it to the dealership to look at since they assured me it was the alignment. After 8 days worth of tests the dealership says that it is a “Characteristic of the car” and after testing another myself, I noticed the vibration on the other car too. They stated that this car is up to Hyundai’s standards, which si completely unacceptable for a $50k plus car. Don’t buy this care if you drive on the highway. Unclear on what, if anything, they will do about this. Apparently it’s an issue with the 2023 model as well.

Don't buy electric without considering...

Loved the car at first, but then realized that it really is only for in town drives. The 320 mile range drops to 175 or less once on the highway and driving 75 mph or more. Non-tesla charging stations are rare and typically require waiting at least 1-2 hours for a charging spot. The real killer was that after 15K miles, the car stopped charging. These aren't cars, they are computers with wheels. So now I own a $50K brick. It has been in the shop for 27 days straight without a fix! Don't buy.
Great performance vehicle!

I drove a Volvo XC60 and started to shop for EVs in view of the various rebates and incentives. I tested various EVs include Nissan Ariya, Lexus RZ, Tesla Model Y, Ford Mach-E, Kia EV6, Genesis GV60 and Ioniq 5. Ioniq 5 Limited has the best combinations of my key requirements switching from Volvo which includes: 1) Safety 2) Drive comfort and lumbar support 3) Quiet and smooth ride 4) Sound system 5) higher sitting position when driving. It scores 10/10 on all of them! I am surprised how well it drove compared to some of the turn offs from the other vehicles below. In addition, it comes with fast and free charging with Electrifying America are just bonus to driving a car-like EV! 1. Nissan Ariya: Road noise. 2. Lexus RZ: The range and charging speed are just pathetic for the price you pay. 3. Tesla Model Y: Fancy tech, but it's hard to feel safe on the road. Having to turn to look at the tablet to know your speed limit is just simply danger. It's built for taller people with a deep seat, I am 5 ft 3 and gets back ache driving that one pedal which feels stiff and non-responsive. 4. Ford Mach-E: Looks really nice, ride really good on local road. However, once you are on the freeway, it drives just like the logo of the car, you feel like you are galloping with the suspension that you are getting. Road noise is terrible too. 5. Kia EV6: Very nice ride, very similar to Ioniq 5. However, the seat position is similar to low for the sake of my back. Also, too many plastic parts inside the car and I worry about long term noise from those parts. 6. Genesis G60: Price. I will highly recommend Ioniq 5 (specifically the Limited). The implementation of the EV and stability are excellent. It's hard to feel safe coming from a Volvo, but I feel safe in this vehicle. The Heads-up display give you all the key information you needed when on the road including safety warning, speed limits and turn by turn direction. I had the Bowens & Wilkin speakers in my volvo and the Bose systems sound just as good and complete. It has also given me good range and higher than the estimated range so I don't really have any range anxiety. Simply enjoying the new EV now and the joy of not having to go to a gas station just changed my life!

Love the vehicle. But lease, don’t buy. 10 days in (770 miles on odometer), the vehicle was charging on Level 1, 50% charge and Error Warning! Vehicle bricked: nothing electronic worked. Called Hyundai Road assistance. Jumped the dead 12 volt battery. Hyundai dealer ran 48 hours of tests and got no error messages. Carry a jumper pack. The full driver’s assistance package is greatly appreciated: 1-pedal driving, digital rear view mirror, blind spot cameras, pedestrian warnings, lane keeping, etc. great tech. Lot of fun on sport mode, but more comfortable in Eco mode. Spouse is very happy to drive in Eco. Sport mode challenges her. Traction / handling in heavy weather has been great. Looking forward to the mountain passes in Snow mode with tire socks, and without ;-). Sound system is great. Best trip usage to date 3 m/kw Level 3 charging: I’ve rarely gotten better than Avg 88 kw at Electrify America stations. Cons: 1) above 12 volt battery issue 2) Rear camera for digital mirror is useless in heavy rain 3) Charging port lighting sucks: charging bars blindingly bright and obscure actual connection port. Appears to be corrected in 2025 Ioniq 6, don’t know about 5. 4) Parked with one wheel on a parking “bump” slightly torquing vehicle. Tail gate would not open. Checked body panel clearances and they where definitely interfering. Moved vehicle to flat: no problem. Suggesting a lack of body frame rigidity?

2024 Ioniq 5 Limited AWD: Pros: Fast, Comfortable, Very spacious, Lots of Tech inside, Super Fast Charging, Panoramic Sunroof (has a cover unlike Tesla), Rear Seats Recline, Bose Stereo System. Cons: Range (only 260miles), No wireless Apple CarPlay, No UWB/NFC Digital Key for iPhone, Hyundai opted for USB A ports instead of USB C (not sure why), Ambient Lighting is okay not great. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and I would definitely recommend the Ioniq 5 to friends and family!

I recently leased an ioniq 5 ev the car is great inside but the problem is not enough chargers in Vegas 20% of the chargers are restricted 50% of the chargers that could be used are slow chargers which takes an average of 4 hours to fully charge the vehicle the 30% fast charges available are too full need to wait an hour or two to get to one and then if there is not anyone else that do not respect the people in line and steals the service. This is not counting that almost in each station there is two or more units that do not work. This is a real problem - To be able to install a charger at home I need to spend $7,000 in upgrades. To use the regular charger it takes two or three full days of charging to get to maybe 70%

I have had the ioniq 5 for a week now and I absolutely love it. I have the SEL AWD because it was a good balance of features and price. If you want all the bells and whistles, the limited may be more to your liking, but there is plenty here to like. I bought the car in the middle of winter, so the range is somewhat limited by that. In cold weather at a 90% charge, I will get just over 200 miles. This will improve significantly in warmer weather and it should get up to 260 at a full charge. I also love the fast charging and all the high tech driving features. It has so much power, speed and handling that you will confidently zip around in traffic and the safety features will help you feelpre secure. The infotainment system is good and has wired android auto or car play for phone integration. My only complaint is that they stripped down some features from the 2023 model, but they aren't big things you will miss much. I got a good deal on a lease with incentives and trade in, so I am happy with my monthly payment and may well end up purchasing at the end of my lease!

Everything works great. The handling and steering are tight and responsive. It'll set you back in your seat in sport mode for sure! I mostly drive it in eco mode and once I finally settled on preferred settings from the myriad options it has available it is a very quiet comfortable ride. This is the nicest car I've ever owned.

I’ve driven this car for a year now and am still very happy. Great performance, smooth/quiet ride, roomy with great looks. If I could get Hyundai to improve a few things, they would be: UI for onboard software could be more pleasing and intuitive, add a rear wiper, and wireless phone charging cradle should be next to CarPlay port and able to adapt to phone cases. Although there’s been much talk about the ICCU issues, I have not experienced those.

The main screen is too wide pushing the speed limit display numbers behind the steering wheel. You have to lean right to see the speed no matter how you adjust the steering wheel or seat. The interior is bland and boring and lacks creativity and design. Everything looks rushed. Workmanship is poor. noises everywhere. Rear window defrost occasionally works. Have to hand clean rear window constantly. Vehicle feels heavy like a large F250 truck in the steering and acceleration. Knees hit the sharp edges of the dash on both sides where it curves in around the steering wheel column. Plastic is easily damaged by road debris with the matte paint option. Plastic front piece that has the lights and sensors is easily damaged by road debris. Range is horrible. Seats feel uncomfortable and stiff. Noisy in cabin from road noise. You can't lift the wipers up unless the hood is open. They bump the hood. Matte paint is easily damaged even during cleaning with wash hoses rubbing against it. Both screens are too wide and thin. Too much info displayed but no center speed limit option.

I liked the car. It drove well, the price is good, it looks good. A lot to like. However, this is not a car for tall people. Even with the seat as low as possible, I could not sit up straight without my head hitting the roof. It’s too bad.

I can't stop marveling and raving about it. I have owned 2 Mercedes, 2 BMW's, and this is my favorite. Gorgeous, comfortable, and the antidote to any Recharge Anxiety. While the EV market is filled with overrated battery range, my 2024 Ionic 5 SUV, advertised at 309 Miles, actually gets closer to 330. I bought a $100 charging cable for my 110v standard garage outlet, and it's getting over 6 miles per hour - plug it in at 5:00 PM, and a 9:00 AM the next morning it has added over 100 Miles. I look for hypercharging stations - Electrify America is free with new lease or buy - and recently had to use the fastcharging - 150 KWH vs the hyper 350KHW. The fastcharging added over 100 miles in 22 minutes while we shopped. I have solar on my roof, so the Ionic 5 costs me nothing to drive other than the small lease payment. AND THE POWER - electric motors are faster and more responsive than any gasoline engine. When I get around someone, it's stunning how fast it responds and how fast it goes. The electronics are incredible, and Hyundai designer/engineers thought of so many things it is dazzling. I'm a fanatical shopper who researches everything before I acquire it - the IONIC 5 is the top-rated SUV EV, and yes it's a mid-size despite its "compact" rating. I'm 6'2", do a lot of traveling, a builder who hauls some materials and am Isold on it for life. When the lease runs out - I did 2 years to make sure I liked it, my first ever EV - I'll either buy a low-mile used on, including this, or get another lease. My only small beef is that in 2024, the SEL-Long Range version stopped offering leather or leatherette interior. It has cloth seats, of which I am not a fan. DEAR HYUNDAI - if you return either leather or leatherette as an option on the SEL, I'll be the first to buy. Amazing vehicle - even my wife who is not a car buff can't stop raving about it. GET THE LONGER RANGE SEL, it's the best buy and best version. Best EV SUV money can buy or lease.

Investigative writer, and IONIQ 5 owner, Thom Hartmann first piqued my interest. After many reviews by Edmunds and other car experts, this car stood out from the rest, and was the only car I spoke to a dealer in person about. The test drive and irresistible lease deal left me the big hurdle: wife approval. That proved to be relatively easy.

The car is great in a lot of ways, but the ICCUs have failed leaving people stranded. As of January, 2025, there's a recall. But this has been an ongoing issue for years. I'm surprised I haven't read about this on the review sites.
