Great platform with some usability flaws
The drivetrain, 800v architecture, and drivability is great. Styling is fantastic. Where it misses is in usability.
1. As a 6 ft, 1 inch tall person, I cannot find a comfortable driving position, and this is the only car I've ever had this problem. I attribute this to the abnormally short adjustability of the steering wheel. In order to get my arms close enough to the steering wheel my knee is jambed into the column shifter and/or low dash. Giving the steering wheel the ability to extend much further (to match every other car out there) would fix this issue. Allowing the seat to drop further may also help. As it is my right knee will probably take significant damage in a frontal crash, as it has nowhere to go but into the dash it is nearly resting on.
2. Can't lock the car with the car running. Basically no "dog mode". My cheap base model Nissan Leaf did this just fine, ridiculous that Hyundai's halo car won't.
3. Climate timer only works when car is plugged in. Also absurd and something my Leaf did just fine. This car has a huge battery, it should warm up on a cold morning outside by itself. No I don't want to use the app every morning to manually start this myself.
4. The physical car key should code to a user profile. My spouse and I must change profiles through the software every time we get in the car, which is twice a day.
5. And the user profile selection keeps not changing when we change it.
4. It would be nice if there was a charge port opening button inside the car.
5. It would be nice if the headrests went further back. They are uncomfortable in any setting and were designed by a crash safety person rather than an ergonomist.
