Hi Corbin. I loved watching yall on the I90 Surge so far. I plan on keeping my 2024 AWD Ioniq6 for maybe 5 years. I bought it for 38K last January. I'll probably give it to my stepson and his wife in 5 years and buy the latest and greatest reasonably priced small EV.

[@accordlord04]

As someone actively looking for an EV right now, I can tell you that there are absolute deals on used 2024 limited models with low mileage in my area. I would much prefer some of the upgrades on the 2025 models but it's not worth the 12-15k MSRP discounts I would be getting for a like new 2024 model.

[@williamsloggy5144]

But the supply is so limited. You get stuck with paying for a high cost dealer order model which you may not really want. I want a RWD 19 inch wheel and that is never a dealers choice order. If I want it my way I have to order it and that means a 2025.

[@techgeek6848]

I went with the 2024 over the 2025. Price was right with the 24 and there are too many changes to the power/charging system of the '25. I LOVE the bigger battery BUT at 15-20 mins to DC charge, even on long journeys, range isn't that important. I have a feeling that the 25's are gonna get hit with issues/bugs either resolved already in the 24 or it'll take time to figure out the issues with the 25's to get them fixed.

[@blaineballard9073]

The bugs comment is a very good point. In addition, they're going to be manufacturing the 25' models at a new plant with a new workforce. I think the odds are pretty good that there will be issues with that.

I’ve had a Project 45 IONIQ 5 since it arrived in UK in Aug 21. I’ve already ordered a 2025 IONIQ 5 Ultimate and take delivery in 7 days time. The benefits of the 2025 are major. Much bigger battery, rear windscreen wiper, sunroof, improved software, including OTA updates to name but a few. No contest.

[@johnwheat1542]

This is good information and soundadvice. Thanks. Let me just say as a selfish and self-centered Ioniq 6 leasee, I hope you will send yourself a tickler message to produce a similar video if and when a refreshed I6 is going to come out. My current lease expires in 18 months and I’m already thinking that I would love to have another one of these, but definitely one with a few upgrades. In particular, it would be great if Hyundai would produce an I6 SEL version that got the highest range. The only reason I got the SE RWD was for the 360 miles of range, and I do not regret that at all. I’m already addicted to the range and don’t wanna take anything less. But, still, it sure would be nice to have all those SEL trim features!!

Good discussion of the pros & cons. I had committed to waiting for the 2025's and then the delays began. Ioniq 5's were the last Hyundai vehicle to get 2025 pricing, announced in early November. I have been watching inventory and saw they were delivering 2024's into late January. I wanted a Korean-build vs the first units out of the GA Metapalant, for all the reasons you can guess. And I expect the $7500 tax credit to go away on 1/21/25. I found the Digital Teal Limited AWD I have wanted since the 2022 introduction. I'm in Northern CA and got a 2024 with $15k off MSRP on a 3-yr lease with free-charging and haven't looked back. I would have liked to get the 2025 infotainment w/ wireless connectivity, but maybe there will be a SW update (😒🙏🤞) Of course, I'm also hoping ICCU holds up...

I'm on the fence over the Mach-e or Ioniq5 The 2025 refresh of the mach-e has a heat pump and lower cost plus more powerful RWD motor. The ionic has a rear wiper and NACS. I need to see a comparison of both 2025 models.

[@markboscawen8330]

Was waiting for the Ioniq 5 25 refresh because of all the reasons outlined in the video*. But (in Australia) the delivery date kept being pushed back. Latest estimate was mid to late December with possibility it would be early Jan. Kia EV5 released here in late Oct. Whilst compromises like slower DC charging time & a few bells & whistles are not included, the EV5 is ~AU$20K cheaper - so much better value. Delivery is late Nov. So cancelled deposit on Ioniq5 & ordered EV5. * Except NACS because that standard hasn’t been adopted in Australia.

[@Molishious]

Good point. I'd be very surprised if Hyundai didn't continue to have that, but on the other hand Tesla's don't have that capability. Don't understand the engineering so couldn't say if the NACS would limit that capability.

[@Reittihw]

With GA plant cranking out 25s, I couldn't find ANY 24 AWD Ioniq5, and the remaining inv of EV6 in the southeast is extremely ltd. So I just got a '24 EV6 AWD Wind 24 mth for 500, which I think is a pretty good stopgap. From what I've read, the 25 UI still hasn't caught up with other mftr. And V4 superchargers don't solve the 800V challenge

[@tomm5936]

For comparison the EV6 and Ioniq 5 are available in Europe where I live and the price is the same as the 2024 and we’re also seeing good deals on the 2024s now.

[@MrMoose0987]

I feel weird. I went with the 2024 (picking it up in a few hours) partly because it had wired carplay vs wireless, and many cars that have Wireless no longer support wired. It may be placebo but I feel the sound quality is better. Also, it feels more reliable to me. The range increase isn't a big deal to me. The blacked out bezel on infotainment would be nice, but I'm going to look into a skin of some time. I am a bit concerned with the ICCU stuff, but I'm also never confident in big changes to things like the charge port, and would rather see how it shakes out.. But yeah, I decided on a 3 year lease, and if the new I5 changes work out, I'll pick one up in a few years. I managed to get a total between rebates and dealer discount of $19,000 off on the lease, and will be paying $525 a month with nothing down -- and I know people have managed to negotiate that a couple thousand lower with some dealers too. Big thing for me was lowering cost from where I was on my previous car that I loved (BMW i5 M60) but I was not seeing the value in a higher end luxury EV vs a really nice mass market EV. So the boosts to the 2025 model for the likely higher price weren't a big draw to me.

[@djames4242]

FWIW, EV6 does get free EA charging. It’s not unlimited, but it comes with 1000kWh (which expires after three years).

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Right, that’s just such a small amount of charging that it pales in comparison to the Ioniq 5s offer

[@allenbaylus1912]

I am looking for a used I5 but I think your trim is not what I am looking for (Limited). Could you add things in like mileage and trim in the description. This may help - also Car Edge seems to be a place which could help you get a good offer.

[@brianklaus2468]

we bought a Ioniq 5 Limited AWD last month and my wife loves it. Frankly we felt it was a much better deal than waiting for the 2025 because we don't qualify for the tax credit and the chances of them having a $7500 rebate is low if the tax credit still exists.

[@andyp.4205]

C's correct, If you can afford it get a 2025 I5. Otherwise, the deals on the 2024 I5's are pretty aggressive. Most dealers where I live are offering 15K off the MSRP. $7500 finance cash and retail bonus cash. Oh BTW, why on Earth did Hyundai come out with the Disney Platinum Edition Ioniq 5, over $60k retail.

[@kire12333]

Did they not also sell the original ioniq 5s as being OTA update capable when they first came out? Albeit after a patch but then ended up never actually being capable. I hope the 2025 is properly capable this time.

[@Godz3211]

I think it’s hard not to get a 2024 because I can see at my local dealerships they’re already dropping 7-10k off the price and honestly I bet I could get another 5-10 off since those cars have been sitting on those lots for a year now. I want the 2025, but saving 20k or so is the only way I can afford a new car 🤷‍♂️.

My understanding is that Hyundai is going to change to an Android system in 2026. Wouldn't that immediately make the CCNC system out of date an unlikely to be supported? I'd love to hear that Hyundai isn't going to make the change, because I'd like to get a 2025.

[@Fozzie-Bear]

Bit confused, in Australia, it seems the 2025 MY25 started arriving here in July this year, larger battery, changed centre console, etc. Is there possibly a refresh to this model that is due soon. Thanks.

I have the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq5 SEL and 2023 Nissan Ariya Evolve. Between the two, the Ariya is far better value and have lots of amenities and features that are not found in the Ioniq 5 SEL in the same price range. The only advantage that the Ioniq 5 SEL has over the Ariya is the fast charging. If you do lots of DCFC, then buy the Ioniq 5. If you charge from home most of the time, definitely get the Ariya.

Just curious what people’s thoughts are on the build quality of the 2025 i5’s when they’ll be coming from a brand new factory with workers just learning the vehicle as well as possibly new US parts manufacturers. Another car KZbinr mentioned VW having a disastrous rollout with a new US factory a couple years ago with their vehicles having tons of problems compared to the German made ones. I really wanted to wait for a 2025 but now am wondering if for straight up reliability maybe a 2024 would be better? Thoughts?

[@Molishious]

I may have watched the same video. He also pointed out that the Georgia plant will be getting parts from new suppliers that could add to reliability issues. I'm expecting that 2025's will be quite a bit more expensive than the 2024's initially and will stay that way as long as they sell for more. Supply and demand. So I'm going to either wait for the 2025 to be on the market for at least 5 or 6 months or just lease a 2024 and get a 2026 later. My guess is that the tax credit will no longer exist by the time the 2025 hits the dealers in big numbers, but Ioniq's are being sold right now with $7,500 discounts already, so maybe Hyundai will do that again. In the end buying a car is always a gamble.

Financially, really not even a consideration. Got a 24' Limited for $12K off plus the two years of free charging with EA. I weighed the improvements and, after owning my 24' for two months, I can see why Hyundai made the changes but I don't think they'd be worth $12K to me. The Infotainment system is better than what I had in my old car, I set a shortcut to get to the Climate features, don't miss a rear wiper, and the charging changes are a straight up downgrade IMO. The biggest downside is that Hyundai might not continue to push upgrades to the pre-25' models. I hope they don't abandon their legacy owners (Tesla obviously hasn't), but it wouldn't shock me if they did. Either way, the 24' Limited is a great car.

[@garyclark6747]

The 2025 is the one to wait for unless you can wait for a 2026. If you can pick up a 2026 after your 2023 three year lease is up this would be the move. By then you’ll find more native J3400 plugs at Electrify America, EVgo, Charge Point and others in 2026 allowing you to minimize the use of an adapter. Unfortunately those upgraded CCS Combo vendors aren’t going to be NACS compatible and charge older Tesla’s the current deployment trend holds. Also by 2026 all the short comings of charging on Tesla’s Supercharger NACS plugs that have been upgraded to emulate J3400 PLC communications (V3) or natively are ready (V4) will be well documented and understood. Obviously these two companies have to addressed their issue of technology and Tesla may have V4 cabinets installing by then allowing our best charge times we know and love. The future is bright but if the charger front is slow to get up to speed you may want to lease a 2025 if you can’t wait as this saga unravels. 8:10

Oh didn’t know the 2025 didn’t come with free 2 years of EA charging. That’s interesting

[@blaineballard9073]

The free charging is great. Charged from 10% to 80% last night at the EA station near my home. The session would have cost me $30 and I didn't pay a dime.

[@didiermejia780]

Gey a 2024, it comes with 2 years if EA charging! MACC have slowed changing by the way

[@Yanquetino]

In my not-so-humble opinion… buy now. I frankly don't see any game-changing "improvements" in the 2025 model -and I actually don't like some of them. I have NO buyer's remorse with my 2024.

[@GeoffJohnson]

I'd say the bigger battery and better range along with brand new infotainment system that gets true OTA updates, and a rear wiper are huge changes.

@@GeoffJohnson range anxiety isn't a thing with the Ioniq when you charge 20-80% in under 20 minutes. I've owned my 24' for two months and haven't missed a rear wiper at all. Didn't use it much on my old car. I think the Infotainment is fine, but you do have a legit point on the OTA updates.

[@GeoffJohnson]

@@blaineballard9073 I'd love to be able to do round trips to Vermont or NYC, right now I only make it around 225 miles on the highway, so the more the better for me. And I assume you're in a southern state, being in the northeast not having a rear wiper in the winter makes it totally unusable

Just buy one - now or later. Just as good as "Now/Later" and more fun to drive, I will guarantee!

[@EarendilStar]

Eesh. I’ve seen a dozen of your videos, and am in the market for an Ioniq5, but nothing you’ve done has lowered my opinion of the channel as much as trying to sell your car to us. IMHO it’s not worth the extra couple hundred you *may* get for it from a person here.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

If someone were buying my car they’d be paying significantly less than they would to any dealer so I don’t see what the problem is. I’ve already got buyers lined up so I’ll just remove it from this video. Thanks

[@IoniqRides]

2022 RWD SE Long Range I had every ICCU update that was required by Hyundai. I would say a month or 2 later and the ICCU failed while my daughter was in the back seat when the bang occurred and the fuse blew. It scared the hell out her and she will not get back in the car. Do not buy an Ioniq 5 prior to 2025. They don’t know what is causing the problem and the updates don’t work.

[@thedaeron3877]

and you think it won't happen in the 2025, it's the same car. All the change and recall have been made for the 2024 prior of the 2025. 2025 = new addition = new problem

[@IoniqRides]

@ I’m not concerned if the 2025 and up won’t have the problem…because I’m never buying another Hyundai…but it’s a different part number from what I understand so maybe it will work…but I know for a fact the 2024’s and below are not reliable cars beyond the ICCU issue there is also 40 amp level 2 charging issues. The current Ioniq 5 and GMP platform in general is a mess and that is a fact.
