We have a limited number of reviews for the 2025 IONIQ 5, so we've included reviews for other years of the IONIQ 5 since its last redesign.
Excellent, but maybe wait for the '25.

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.

Charging issue

2023 Hyundai IONIQ 5 SEL 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)

This problem is well reported if you know where to look on different forums but wanted to mention. After about 9 months of owning my car, the charge port would start to overheat and would stop charge. I could restart but it would quickly stop again. Hyundai put out a patch that would drop the rate of charge instead of port overheating. Sometimes that rate is 60% or lower than what Hyundai reports. I love my car while I am driving but every time I am charging from home I wish I had not bought it. If it made financial sense, I would trade this in and buy a different car.

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.

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.

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.
