Almost perfect (aside from the eye tracking sensor)
Coming from a Kia EV6, I am very familiar with the E-GMP platform, and very much enjoy the driving dynamics, level of refinement and style of the Ioniq 5.
I also enjoy the safety features including the HDA 2, HOWEVER, the eye tracking software that monitors you are paying attention to the road is borderline awful. I cannot use the adaptive cruise control with either my prescription glasses or prescription sunglasses. I am aware of the TSB that explains the type of glasses that work better with the system. I need prescription glasses to be able to drive without strain and safely operating the vehicle, and the system not being able to sense my eyes while clearly looking ahead at the road is borderline ridiculous. I tried adjusting my seat and steering wheel and it doesn't help. Also, telling owners to test different type of glasses without any guarantees they will work with the system is not feasible either.
The issues with the system is a large factor in whether I will purchase or lease another Hyundai or Kia vehicle. If improvements are not made to the system via software or hardware updates, I doubt I will purchase or lease another Hyundai or Kia vehicle.
