I hated my AC on Tesla. That thing blows so loud and fast but the air is not cold enough. I am so glad I traded that crap for Ioniq 5. Love it love it love it!

[@jigs8437]

This car has the worst resale value. Make sure you don't buy a new one cause you can really get a used one with very miles at almost 40% less price than a new one

Hey ! Owning a 2023 77kwh model in EU, I can confirm suspension is much better. Still on the comfy side - EV6 is still better imo - but it's far less bouncy than the model I tried at the dealership. Aligned with your other comments all along ! Thanks for the fine review !

[@user-br5qu9uj9b]

My brother bought this car in the same color. I like driving this car. I loved your idea of creating sunglasses holder for the magnetic board (you did not mention it in this video). Thank you for concise and efficient clip.

[@fanofthemick]

Very complete and fair review, thanks. I live in Florida so only care about slow charging and poor mileage when I travel north, usually no more than once during cold months. I think the longer charging times are worse than the lower milage but when you combine the need to charge more often with needing to take longer to charge is a real problem but also not limited to the I5. I have a RWD model so lack of battery preconditioning adds to that problem. In 14 months I’ve driven 21500 miles, averaging 3.5m/kw. Driving around town I easily approach or exceed 300 mile range. Almost half my miles driven have been road trips, usually right at 70mph. That gets me around 250 miles of range. I have solar panels for my home as well and charge my car directly from the Solar inverter. I’m not sure what amperage it charges at 9.7kw consistently and since the TBS was done it has never over heated or stopped charging, regardless of whether I charge in the day or night. Going from 20somethingish% charge to 80% takes about 6 hours almost consistently. I love the car and hope other owners enjoy their I5s as much.

[@jannorgaard561]

I recommend storing extra windshield washer fluid in the frunk, where it is near the fluid tank. You will be satisfied the next time you need a filling 🙂

[@victorseal9047]

Thank you for your unbiased review 😅 😊

[@rjclulow]

Thanks for your honest review. I'm from New Zealand and have a rear wheel drive base model. With 240 volt domestic power I haven't had to invest in a L2 adapter. I do charge at reduced power though as that has proved 100% reliable. We don't travel long distances on a regular basis so fast charging is rarely an issue. I love the car but agree with all you've said.

[@berthogendoorn2133]

We got the better suspension in Canada, when I had my 2023 Ioniq 5 (Limited equavalent in Canada other than suspension), big difference when I drove the 2022 loaner I had once on the 6 service appoitments I had. My 2023 was really comfortable ride but handled the corners really well, the 2022 loaner was wallowee and not as planted on the road.

[@berthogendoorn2133]

My 2023 Tesla Model Y AWD long range had same issue with the vision based parking assist when towing, but no issue other than notification in the display when backing up the trailer.

[@vgmandstuff1381]

Thanks for the detailed review! I've been considering getting a Ioniq 6 for the last few months and this review really makes me think I'd be making the right choice.

[@markshellard]

I love my Ioniq 6!! But some of the same meh issues.

I expected one of your meh would be the sound system. I really enjoyed this video. I should be getting my 2023 Ioniq 5 in September and can hardly wait!

[@karamshahi]

Great review. Should have also touched on the ICCU issue..

[@5290harp]

I am shopping for a 2022 SEL and I found your comment about the current value (selling price) interesting. Here in California the going list price for an SEL with 20k miles is about 38-40k You do see an occasional listing for 35k from a dealer who has had it in inventory for a few months. Where have you seen prices in the 28-30k range? Maybe when actively bargining with a seller one needs to start low and then move up to the 30k number. Most non dealers would be offended by this approach. Great channel with lots of interesting info. Keep up the helpful work.

[@davelavigne2133]

Adding to the lack of autolock: When a driver and passenger get out and I go to lock the car by hitting the handle as a driver with the passenger door still open, there is no delay on the lock. It just beeps at you and does nothing.

[@ViewBothSides]

This review is OUTSTANDING. So much detail, and so much focus on the key issues in really quite a brief video. Absolutely awesome job, thanks very much.

[@Cport912]

I leased my 2023 ioniq 5. Love the unsuspecting size on the inside, ease of getting in and out, love the quick charging and watching other EV owners at the charging stations. Look surprised when I leave so quickly, love the cool design, love the matte gray that I picked, hate the range, hate the fact that there are no windshield wipers on the back. Hate the fact that the door doesn't automatically lock when I walk away. Hate that the front trunk really useful, and I hate the fact that my SEL model. I have no panoramic cameras for lane changing assist. And for those that care the audio system in the sel is decent. It won't blow your friends away. But it's enough to jam out in the car with decent sounding bass and treble

[@jazzfan7491]

Great info, thanks.

[@NootreMusic]

I have a 2023 SEL AWD. My 'mileage' after 15000 miles is 3.6 mi/kWh. Around 60% of my driving is highway. I don't use i-Pedal, which forces the AWD to be on all the time. I use Lv-2 instead, which is probably why I've gotten better efficiency overall. On long trips (max 1200 miles round trip) I pop it into Eco - until I get off the highway. So far I love the car, even though I have the charge port overheating problem. They'll eventually fix it.

[@alkanhel]

Thank you for the detailed review, a lot to think about...

[@willielarsson9651]

I get the same issue with the seatbelt rattling off the B pillar in my ix3, drives me crazy, seems to be an issue with BMW, as my 5 series had the same problem. I have to stop or lean over to fix it.

[@michaellippmann4474]

Great review and appraisal of the car given your experience...Thank you for doing it. We have a 2022 Ultimate AWD I5...we absolutely love the car, we put on approximately 1000km per week (630 miles) and have no complaints. We traded our 2023 Kona Ultimate EV that we put 48,000km on in 10 months so we get to know the good and bad very quickly on any of our vehicles very pleased we ended up with the I5 as the extra room for our road trips is very welcome! Yes the suspension is softer than I would prefer but I do not view it as a sports car either...it is just a very nice driving EV that does what it needs to do. As far as Tesla's and the OTA updates, I am not really concerned by this being lacking on the I5, good for Tesla but not really a feature that impresses me. I am fortunate the Hyundai dealer I go to is very good with their service but in all honesty haven't been there much...twice with the Kona for the 24,000 & 48,000km service and once with the I5 for its 12,000km check. Anyway, thank you for your honest appraisal and review of your car! Well done! Mike

[@jessicaf6649]

Thank you for this honest review. The insight you give after owning and driving all this time is super valuable. I’m considering this vehicle after my Audi Q5 Hybrid lease is up on June. I was also looking at the Prius Plug-In Hybrid or the Prius regular Hybrid. I was looking to purchase my next vehicle and the interest rates with Hyundai are very low. I love this car’s aesthetic as it’s similar to my Q5 in a way. I commute 50 miles a day give or take partial Hwy and or city/canyon roads. On the fence about needing AWD. I have always had it in my Audis. Love the way the steering feels. Very curious as to the feel with this car. Thanks again.

[@nikostsakas7742]

Hey great review. Just wanted to mention that e.g. in my country the most common charger/usb cable that people have 10s of in their homes is usb-A to usb-C. So believe it or not, for me that's an advantage compared to buying one c/c cable or more just to have backups for use with the car.

[@ripvanstinkle]

Really good and thorough video

[@ThuanDinh-lh4xl]

Super honest review, and detailed👍

[@sak4aak]

EV6 Owner, not quite a year yet but agree on many of your points that are applicable for the KIA. My Meh: Wired airplay, USB A for the wired airplay (we have 3 USB C ports, not sure why they didn't use USB C for airplay connection). Bad: charging port issues suddenly appearing. I'm having to charge at 32amp (7.5kw). But overall, I absolutely love the car. KIA/Hyundai needs to take care of the my meh and bad and I'd be really happy.

[@AnimationByDylan]

USB C cables come in variations (such as charging only) and are much more susceptible to quality related performance defects that cause Car Play not to work. I think they wanted to avoid the service headaches.

[@Alohakurt]

I have a 22 SEL also. Mine is white…bright white! I live in So Cal. As it gets hot here white cars are the way to go . I love my Ioniq 5. BUT WAIT!!!!! One thing nobody talks about is…yes the frunk is small BUT!!!! We don’t get take out very often but when I do I put the food in the frunk. Absolutely no food odor inside the car!!! Yes fried chicken smell great, burgers smell great but get in your car the next morning and that smell is not all that great. Your frunk is the perfect place to transport cooked food. By the way, I’ve had containers that were taller than the top of the frunk. I found the frunk lid cover does not need to close all the way. I believe there is about 2 inches of space above the closed frunk cover and the hood. If your container or whatever is taller, lay the frunk cover on top of your item and slowly let the hood close. Useful Hyundai Ioniq 5 fact!

[@chestercopperpot3793]

Really great review!

[@Fabbyyy]

Completely agree with everything in this video. From lack of wireless carplay to the mediocre headlights.

[@vicenary]

You don't want the hood and frunk to be solely electrically operated - when your 12V battery dies (as is traditional with the i5) you need to be able to open the hood to access the battery and able to open the frunk to get your jump battery out. Electrical AND manual would have been nice though.

[@DidierGras]

Love the ventilated seats, electric sunroof shade, rear window shades, head up display, DC charging, overall comfort. Hyundai made all non OTA updates for free including battery conditioning recently. No problem at all with 11kV AC charging at home with Spanish Pulse Plus Wallbox or public 22kV stations in Europe. 😉

[@Nexinator]

One minor point about the first aid kit. If you rear end someone else, the hood likely can't be opened. Thus, you can't access the first aid kit. I'd move that somewhere more central to the vehicle, perhaps the glovebox. Mine currently resides under the false trunk floor (EV6), and I'm now also, considering moving it to where it may be accessible in a collision, so mine is likely to move to the center console area.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

That’s a great point!

[@danielmartins9901]

I don't understand. Should you start braking based on when the brake lights come on on the car in front of you or based on your distance to the car? If I see myself getting closer to the car in front of me I brake regardless of if their break light is on.

[@skippy5311]

Love the frank criticisms. Keep it up! Tesla Model Y had the same rear seatbelt rattle issue before the last revision. They covered the area (and also the door pockets) with carpet material. The rear seat trunk release issue seems more like a "meh" than a dislike. The Ioniq 5's V2L feature would be super handy for blackouts and camping. I live in an area with a lot of roadwork (steel plates, patches) and poor quality roads (seams, potholes, cracks), so I think the softer suspension on an EV would be awesome even if it means a less sporty, bouncier ride. Does the cabin make rumbling (judder) noises when traveling over rough pavement like the Tesla Model Y, or is that well dampened?

[@skilldeadly8888]

It's well dampened. Have driven Model 3, Y, and X. Tested IONIQ 5 recently and was impressed on rough NYC streets. It's the number 1 thing that Tesla has not fixed and IONIQ just felt so smooth to drive on rougher roads.

Very good overview. Whatever car one gets, there will always be design and function disappointments. My 2023 Ltd AWD has a rattle in the back that is driving me nuts but overall it's the best car I've ever owned. This includes a 740iL, A8 and A6.

[@John..A]

@axion8788, Mt 2023 AWD also has the rattle coming from the rear that drives me nuts, I believe I figured it out though and I'm going to try and dampen the sound. My belief is the noise each time a go over a small bump is being produced by the rear door struts. When you stand outside with the hatch closed and you slightly push down on the rear hatch above the lights you will here the sound produced, its the play in the door that moves the strut.

I love the functionality of powering my home in a blackout. Your solar panels! And your mention of clean nuclear!! I believe you represent a positive future. I’m bummed by naysayers who seem devoted to ICE. I will never go back. The EV is just so much better in so many ways. Your actual range and efficiency is not better than my Bolt which I avg 3.8 and get over 250 miles on a change. I’m leasing in part because I want to trade every few years because I think the technology will improve year by year. Thanks again for doing a very professional video.

Mine is 2022 limited RWD,16 months owned, 15,794 miles on odometer, 4.3 miles/kwh for the entire ownership, 100% fast DC charged at Electrify America, and driven in mild-weathered L.A, highway 85% / city 15% ish,. The car is giving me 4.3 miles/kwh x 77.4kwh = 333 miles of range, more than EPA range of 303 miles. I sometimes get 360 miles of range, too, if much driven in cities. I am assuming the 4.3 miles/kwh that shows on the dashboard is not exaggerated like the VW diesel gate, and I believe it isn't. On the other hand, Tesla Model 3 always came short of stated range, but their technicians always blushed off by claiming it is my driving habit and there's nothing wrong with it. I strongly disagree with them because I drove both cars very gently. I'm much happier with Ioniq 5 than Tesla Model 3 because Ioniq 1) is much quieter with absolute no rattle while Tesla had so much but they couldn't fix it despite several services, 2) its range isn't deceiving, 3) it has properly WORKING blind spot mirrors while Tesla doesn't on the contrary to their claim, 4) it has cross traffic warning which Tesla doesn't have, 5) has seat AC fan, 6) there's ceiling shade for the glass roof, 7) so much more spacious, 8) Hwy assist 2 (Teslas's version of self-driving) is much more stable and safer than Tesla. BTW, Tesla's summon is a joke. On the other side, Tesla definitely has a better app and OTA update capability by far and large, though the updates have been very lame one with game updates, addition of honk sounds and the likes - they weren't really crucial for the essence of driving. If you are a first-time EV buyer, you would like any EV, not just tesla. I have ID.4 as well, and it's a good car too. Tesla is just over-hyped.

As a former Ioniq 5 owner for four months, I really appreciate your balanced approach to the vehicle. I share most of your observations about the good, mediocre and bad. The trailer towing and backup are things I had no experience with. The lack of a rear wiper was more infuriating to me, especially since every car I had driven since 1974 had one. Inexcusable in the 3rd decade of the 21st century. Overall, it was the best car I've ever owned, and one of the best I've ever driven. I didn't keep it only because a clear -eyed analysis of this car vs. what I had also purchased around the same time (a new 2022 Tucson hybrid). Longer, multi -day road trips made the Tucson the obvious one to keep (still being the deal breaker for any EV). The Tucson would also have been the model underwater at the time I parted with the Ioniq. I had no idea the market value for used Ioniq 5s had dropped as much as you describe. It's honestly a bargain at a price in the mid- to high-20s, if I can ever convince my wife to part with her ICE vehicle. Good series. Keep up the good work!

You almost covered everything except the super expensive cooling liquid that we have to change every 60k km and its unique to only Ioniq 5. Its a deal breaker for a lot of people and it gets away the fact that EVs have a low maintenance cost.

[@sarahann530]

How much is the coolant every 60k kms ?

[@spoketube]

@@sarahann530 The internet says maybe US $600+ and the coolant is a safety feature since it cools the battery. Perhaps this cost is a bit more than a traditional combustion car’s maintenance schedule at 60k km / 36k miles. But i think if someone runs the numbers on how low EV maintenance is otherwise, particularly accounting for lower fuel/electron cost, this coolant doesn’t seem to be a deal breaker. Six oil changes and a set of brake pads installed on a combustion car at 60k/36k already amounts to a good chunk of change.

[@sarahann530]

@spoketube Sounds like it's a non issue .

[@jesmor3]

Wireless CarPlay on the new Bronco has had zero issues for me over a year of use everyday. So my opinion is if a mfg has wireless issues, that's their challenge to figure out and get done right. Thanks for all the details!

[@James__Gregory]

Love the review. I have a ‘23 Limited in the same digital teal. Love the color so much too for its chameleon-like qualities. I would like to add to the dislike list that the turning radius on these cars is not great. I was super surprised. I would’ve thought it would’ve had an amazing turning radius, but it’s pretty awful. Even my partner’s Cayenne turns around tighter.

[@jeff7838]

We got a rwd 22, extended range. We avg about 3.4 kwh. Its been a fantastic car. We have 25k miles, just use it for 100 mile drive to work and back. Saved us a ton in gas money.

[@adrianguggisberg3656]

My 2023 RWD Euro version has brillant suspension. I obviously don't have the AC charging issues, since 11kW charging only requires 16A in Europe, but that would be a dealbreaker. As for the not self-locking doors, that really sucks. People dont steal around here, so I never locked a car before, but the I5 looks like something is brocken with its door handle stickig out when unlocked. The car also bugs me by pushing messages onto my phone saying the doors are not locked. That, and even more so the implementation of the boot auto-opening feature are my only two complaints. Btw. you can increase efficiency by using auto-regen instead of iPedal quite a bit.

Where do you live? Switzerland? lol

[@oliver90owner]

I’ve cooked breakfast and lunch with mine. We, in Europe, get the same current from the VTL outlet, so twice the power you Americans can extract.🙂 3.6kW will easily run a 2kW induction hot plate and 1kW kettle at the same time, with power to spare. I do have a few gripes with mine, but I am slowly getting used to more attributes. The really fast charging has not been tried - 7kW at home, on cheaper night-time rate, is mostly all that is needed. I’ve used the 2.2kW charger away from home only once and public chargers on three occasions. But we don’t have so many really long trips in the UK. Fitting the rear camera is a pain. Higher is sometimes misted and lower gets dirty on the outside. I don’t (yet) rate the navigation system - it seems to provide crazy routing at times. The manual is really comprehensive, except for what you need at the time, if you know what I mean! Lighting up the fact that it is charging is a security risk, IMO. A few others, but the acceleration, if needed, is a great attribute.🙂 Overall, I’m very happy with it so far.

[@simeonellinger2064]

I'm jelly and mad that our power system is so much worse in the states.

[@rmakids]

A usba connection isn't a fast enough charger for me. Can i connect to Android auto with a USBC plugged into a power/cigarette charger?

[@TassieEV]

What kind of tires do you have? Michelin Pilot Sport 4? A friend who owns a Model X recently put on the new EV specific Hankook Ion EV tires and said although he thought the Pilot Sport were quiet the Hankook tires were even quieter.

[@montu25]

I sold my 2022 RWD SEL at 17000 miles only. I loved the car for its look and comfort but the 12v battery died twice on me, first instance left my wife and son stranded. After second incident I just sold it and got a used 2021 Model Y Performance with 16000 miles only. Its not close to Ioniq 5 comfort but hopefully it won’t die on me.

Your #1 fan

[@paulvanlit]

Nice honest review

[@johnnyViDeO]

What about the ICCC issue?

[@oholdeno]

Curious why you got rid of your Motorola MA1. Mines been working well with my Pixel 6. Though I do find it a little on the slow side to connect.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

I switched to iPhone as my daily driver last fall so it’s of no use to me anymore. I always thought it worked well though
