2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 - Dual Motor EV Morning Commute 

Thank you so much. I appreciate it! 🙂

thank you!! 🙂

thank you!! 🙂

Hey! I'm also cross-shopping between the Ioniq 5 and a Model 3/Y. What are some of the things it does better than a Tesla?

@@user-xi1il1lr3k Ooooh… so many that I can't name them all in these limited comments! Wish I could just send you a link. Drat. I guess one of the best features is that the HDA-II Automated Driver Assist System actually _assists_ you -rather than taking over complete control of the car, like the Tesla. You still retain control if, say, you need to steer around roadkill, a pothole, a biker, a tumbleweed in the road. Doing that with a Tesla cancels Autopilot, so you have to reset it.

I am not an expert, but it seems like both are the product of manufacturing logistics. When they developed the UI for the 5, it had already piggy-backed off the system the other Hyundais in our lineup (I have been selling with Hyundai/Genesis since 2020) that all had the same annoying feature: you upgrade to the bigger screen with nav and you *lose* wireless connectivity. IT has to do with how they wire in their own navigation system, BUT! As of a few days ago, a customer of mine did reach out and say that he got an OTA update on his 23 Santa Fe PHEV that gave him access to Wireless Carplay, and it was always my understanding that the company wanted to retroactively add it to cars that lost it when getting the navigation system. Same thing with the USB-A ports; they had likely already developed and produced enough of the components around USB-A console that switching to the USB-C on the fly would cost way more in remanufacturing/redesign than it would cost in customers sometimes saying, "Hmm, that's weird, but I already have seven of those cables, so no biggie." Most people don't even know what the difference is in USB port types, anyway, so it's a small very small issue, in their eyes. Though, obviously the 25s and onwards across the entire lineup will have type C ports, and most of the 24s already have them, excluding the Tucson and Venue.

Unfortunately journalists are too busy reporting on tesla problems and sales issues so they can appease their user bases

Well, that’s why Toyota going to crap still won’t mean that Korean cars exist to me.

Hyundai/Kia can't seem to make a car that doesn't grenade itself to save their lives. ICE, EV, doesn't matter - which is indicative of a lack of QC, honestly. Which is too bad, because the design and features (when they work) appear to be very nice.

i own one and they did a software update to fix that issue last month. also 5 years warranty on the ICCU or 60k miles. Really though who wants to keep a car more than 5 years now when there is so many good advances every year

@@CSIG1001 They’ve done several software updates to fix this issue and none have worked. It got so bad that class action lawsuits were filed and this last one was a recall rather than just a service bulletin like they were in the past. I’ve seen several reports of blown ICCUs even after the latest update. Also, the warranty would make me less concerned about if I hadn’t read tons of horror stories about how bad the dealerships have been to deal with and how their cars have spent months waiting for the parts

Literally my exact situation right now lol. I have a NA, and looking for a daily now. I'm thinking this or a GR Corolla. 2 wildly different cars but a comparable about of money. GR Corolla being a bit less without markups.

@@StuckOnAFireHydrant NA Miata buddy?? I love my NA, and I would have an Ioniq 6 IF we had a Limited last year in the summer when they were doing a stupid employee deal on them. However, I've realized that I may not be staying in the sales world much longer, and not having access to a home charger at all in an apartment, so I have a 25 Elantra N M/T (Intense Blue, in case anyone cares) on allocation request that was just picked up, so I also relate going from one odd end of the spectrum to another. IF you can home charge and can deal with the lower range and want the best of a performance car AND an EV, you have absolutely got to try the I5N. We had one in that was matte Performance Blue, and if I were just two years younger and slightly less financial foresight into my own personal road ahead, I would have bought it, no questions asked. I though that the hype was somewhat overblown, but it is probably one of my favorite cars, period, and I get to drive all sorts of stuff from Ms and AMGs to C8s, a fresh Golf R we just traded, among other more classic enthusiast cars. And when you're not being a hooligan in it, it goes back to being a slightly stiffer, lowered Ioinq 5 push 2.5-3mi/kw. Hope this insight is helpful :)

Lol

agreed!

I feel the same way about Genesis as I do about Infiniti - the brand they're based on is not reliable enough to trust the "luxury" models for any price. If I want a luxury vehicle based on something cheaper, I'm going with Lexus or Acura, not Genesis. That's just me though.

Wait that's insane. How much negotiation was there if any at all?

You can’t ever have too much horsepower. 🙄

EV means it’s heavy though, overpowered maybe not

@General_M You are hearing your speakers not IONIQ 5's.

supposedly coming in 2026

2025

Just buy the car, the 12v issues have been fixed with software updates. You’re not going to need a new HV battery, and if you did, it would be covered by warranty or insurance. This is one of the best EVs on the market. The internet blows everything out of proportion.

The Monroney is the window sticker, named after the U.S. Senator who made it mandatory.

. . . . Is H, deal

Great question! I literally had it back to back with the XC40 Recharge. That video will be dropping here soon. I prefer the Volvo in almost every way. Ioniq has it beat in rear seat room, and honestly overall openness of the cabin. Range is similar enough to call it a dead heat. Volvo infotainment was less glitchy believe it or not. I had multiple instances of the Ioniq infotainment freezing for minutes at a time. Where the Volvo really shines is in driving dynamics. It's a pleasure to drive, and has the signature light steering that we love.

Your loss

i leased an ioniq 5 54k msrp value is 25k a month later on trade value LOL

Holy crap! ​@@Cory69

These batteries only lose 5-10 percent of capacity in ten years. And the motors don't lose horsepower
