Ride is Fast and Smooth. Controls/Interior is NOT USER FRIENDLY

What a fast and smooth ride, which is why I purchased this car. Turning radius is huge, though, so not very maneuverable. When I first bought it, I thought how nice it was that Hyundai was trying to mimic the gas-powered car experience with the controls in their electric vehicles. But this is my first Hyundai, so little did I know that I would hate the interior controls so much that I'd be begging for the horrible Tesla-like feature where everything is on one screen. How things work inside the car is clunky and not user friendly compared to other manufacturers. To name a few things I don't like, the steering wheel has way too many controls w/very few of them being intuitive. It has a strange scrolling/push button that cycles you through pages of options. I won't scroll through "pages" of options while driving. There should never even be a second "page" let alone the huge number of controls, levers, buttons, etc. The settings I want to change, I can't (e.g., certain unnecessary notifications stay on and interrupt every song and audio book I read) yet settings exist for things I can't imagine being used by a majority of drivers. Placement and choice of what to make the button or control is odd. For ex, the P, N, D, etc is a twisty knob on the end of a lever on the steering wheel but so is the windshield wipers. 4 months in, I'm still twisting the gear shifter sometimes when I need wipers. The seats are fake leather, so I don't slide smoothly in or out of them. Instead, as I'm getting in and out, I'm planted on the seat where I land the first time and then have to raise myself up and move over a time or two just to get in place. The material used on the inside of the doors shows body oil and smudges. Regular cleaners do not take it off. I have found no way to make the inside of the car look clean. Simply for the inside and all its frustrations, if I had to decide right now, I would never buy another Hyundai no matter how good the warranty. It's a frustrating user experience inside this vehicle.

Great quality. Great Workmanship.

Great quality, workmanship and user experience w 3 months of ownership. I compare it to our other EV which is a Tesla Y. The I5 is much noisier which I don't understand why. The interior of the vehicle is roomier than it appears externally. Very good comfort and also driver interface layout. There are some minor design items that I find irritating and, these days, the user should have options to change or design its own way of doing things. E.G, I like to have the i-pedal break set to full stop but the I5 does not keep the setting. I have to set it everytime I drive it. Not fun.

Great car until ICCU broke within month of purchase.

Within a month of purchase, the car could no longer be charged because the ICCU broke. It has been over a month since car returned and Hyundai cannot tell me when replacement part will be available. Further research revealed that this is a. systemic issue with this car.

Love this car!

I've had the 2025 Ioniq 5 since February, and so far I really love the car. It is totally fun to drive, and the range for local driving (most of what I do) is really excellent. The car handles beautifully, and is very comfortable. The driver augmentation features are very useful and effective, though the user interface behavior is a bit confusing at times. Overall, the car is awesome!

2025 Hyundai Ionia 5 Limited SUV all Electric

The Koreans have thought of everything especially when they added rear wipers. It is easy to use and is missing nothing that you would want in an ELECTRIC SUV. I wish American cars were as thoughtful. Initially I wasn’t sure I would like the exterior look BUT it makes it so easy to find your car in a lot filled with silver colored cars plus it’s unique looking and I like that. Look up all the amenities.

Best ride I ever remember

I am amazed at the ride quality every time I'm in the car as either the driver or passenger. I love how I do not have to twist my head and body to get it too.

Fun, fast and stylish

The Ioniq 5 is a solid and well designed car and I find it fun to drive. It is very responsive and surprisingly quiet. The interior is well designed and the display is much better than so many cars that look like they bolted a laptop to the dash. Very happy so far.

Ionic is a great vehicle.

I love this car; it drives like a dream, handles great, and is very quiet in the cabin with little road noise. Charging is easy and, if at a Tesla Supercharger, very fast. Most of the time I charge at home and time is not an issue.

Fun to drive. Comfortable to drive in.

Extremely comfortable, smooth and quiet ride, especially compared to the competition. Hyundai really hit it out of the park with this one!

The replacement becomes the lead

I sold my Tesla vehicle on account of the company’s descent into Nazism. After research, I chose this IONIQ 5 based on the car’s range and reliability. In every regard beyond those two characteristics, and by any measure, this Hyundai is an exceptional vehicle. It would bury any Tesla.
