2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Super Tight Build. A great feature rich car.
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.
Great small EV that feels big!
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!

Massive defect that Hyundai won't fix
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.

Best Car Ever
Our first EV. We love everything about it. It is roomy, comfortable, great sound system, extremely responsive and very powerful. It brings back the enjoyment of driving. Our next car will be a Hyundai EV.

BEST CAR EVER
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.
