My 2022 Ioniq 5 has been amazing , no issues. Long Range rwd, my con is the factory stereo which i upgraded w new speakers and 2 amps plus an active sub. No issues doing so, never had a 12v issue. Range and charging speed is great. Ride is quiet and it has lots off room. It is a really great vehicle:)

I purchased one on 2022 and it the best car I ever owned. The savings on gas and tepairs ate basically paying for the car!

Would love an Ioniq 5, but a used Chevy Bolt was what was in my price range.

I appreciate the fact that you are not afraid to list the cons

For me ioniq 5 was the best option, because the blackout for Ukraine is not just the word, and the whole winter it helped to power the whole house, while russian terrorists was bombing our infrastructure, I can even share my experience how to power up the whole house with 3 phases

Because the Interieur design of the I5 I dont like the EV6 became my favorit and I am driving it since 37.000km. Love it.

the ionic 5 2024 does have wireless android auto and apple carr play

Con number five: 39,000 Miles and 19 months under my belt and the best car I’ve ever owned. EXCEPT: I brought the car in two weeks ago Monday for two software updates, and making sure my charge port doesn’t overheat and a fuse of some sort………. I never had any problems …… My 12 V battery has a Phantom constant 100 W drain, it has been dead as a doornail for almost 2 weeks, and they most recently told me maybe the Hyundai USA tech support team will figure it out at some point, but my car is outside the dealership just sitting there waiting for a fix or something. Big kudos for Hyundai and a silver lining: they gave me a brand new car as a loaner and it has all wheel drive, which mine never had. So basically I’m whole again, sort of.

There are plenty of ioniq5 in my area and dealers are offering 3-4k rebate without negotiating

Love your channel! Please keep doing what you do.

You missed the no rear window wiper, but generally its a really good car. Just too pricy and the size too big for me but its a car I love.

Have been waiting for AWD Ioniq 5 for over 1.5 years in Canada.

A bit confused with con #2 as I test drove one yesterday and there were at least10 on the lot

Quite good, this review. I didn’t know Kia was related to Hyundai. I like their new SUV model, but don’t trust their quality and they don’t qualify for the tax credit.😢 Thanks as always for giving us the folks great info, so that we make informed buying decision.

I have one. One of the best cars I bought

You forgot to mention that the car suddenly stops charging and the class action lawsuits that Hyundai is yet again not honoring their warranty! It also wins those awards because they advertise with those organizations.

Cool EV. I also like Tesla but not the design (software, yes, but design looks like blah)

Love your videos

Loved this video.

2025 ionic 5 fixed all the cons. Im waiting for my next car

Has anyone mentioned the dead 12v battery situation yet? My 2022 Ioniq 5 has this problem along with a lot of other people. Currently approaching the conclusion of my lemon law suit which has been ongoing since Nov. 2022 if you can believe it. Replaced this lemon with a new Tesla Model Y and am very happy with it. Never again Hyundai. FYI... for those new to ev's - Tesla qualifies for the IRA federal rebate of up to $7,500 while Hyundai qualifies for diddily-squat.

The Ioniq 5 was a close second to my Mach-e for my EV purchase last year. I just really don't trust Kia/Hyundai quality. They really need to prove better quality over several more years.

Driven my Inoq 5 4wd 320hk for 17 month now. Driven over 50k kilometers. Love the car. More + you left out I think with interor and seats. But ok video overlal. Dfferent charge port in Norway. I can use Tesla chargers

The other major fatal flaw con in my opinion is their hesitation to adopt NACS. I get that their 800v architecture isn't ideal for using Tesla chargers but being able to use Tesla superchargers when in a pinch or more likely when the EA station is broken is still a massive benefit. I would not buy a car that isn't planning to switch to NACS if I ever planned to road trip it. Love the IONIQ in every other way but it's time to move on from CCS1.

The biggest problem of IONIQ 5 is using Low Conductivity Coolant which needs to be replaced every 35,000 miles and the cost is $700 to $1000!!!!

A small road hazard bump to the undercarriage could force the insurance company to total the Ionic 5 due to the replacement battery costing more than the original purchase price. See $60,000 battery elsewhere.

ALL MAN-MADE VEHICLES HABE PROS AMD CONS, MO EXCEPTION

ICCU problems on ioniq 5, Hyundai has not yet found a solution

I expected your "Pros and Cons" to offer more informative content, rather than sounding like an infomercial. We have been on a waiting list for almost 5 months in Canada and I have been reading many concerning articles and issues coming from owners of the vehicle. These evolve around the batteries in the vehicle. Alarmingly, more people are reporting that if the main battery is damaged and needs to be replaced the cost is about $60k CDN. (About the same price as the entire vehicle) Even if your insurance company covers the replacement cost it could be months before a battery replacement is received. So essentially you have paid for a new EV which sits at the dealership until the new battery comes in. Hmmm….I hope you have a second vehicle or a dealership loaner for the duration. The second issue is the 12v accessory battery drain (typical acid and lead type which is cheaper than a lithium-ion battery). If this type of battery goes flat on you it may sustain cell damage which requires a new replacement. Hyundai has previously taken the stand that it is an owner issue and somehow related to Bluetooth 3rd party apps working in the background??? There was an article in the CBC News Network which approached Hyundai Canada for comment on the above and I found their response was like trying to stand on a beach ball in the middle of the Atlantic. I could go on and on but it appears the EV’s are still at the "bleeding edge” of technology and the purchasers are “pay as you play” funding for their innovations.

Any EV's experience phantom braking? Saw this on another owner's review channel. Hoping this is no longer a thing.

I owe Ioniq 2023 for almost a year. Poor suspension, Weak brakes relativly the wieight of the vehicle, uncomfortable seats, laggy infotainment system, poor sound, average range. Pros: Spacious and good looking

Model Y would beat this hands down, any day

Another con is that the Ioniq 5 doesn’t qualify for the $7500 federal tax credit. Not Hyundai’s fault but nonetheless a significant drawback vis a vis the Model Y.

40k and it cant even connect to my phone... And Tesla is a bad deal. Right.

It’s an expensive boat anchor.

The 'retro look' gives exactly the same vibe as all those cheap 80s electronics that everyone recognised as very very dated within just a few years.

Very nice Alex, most, if not all, are valid thoughts. However, I will not be making a Hyundai/Kia purchase anytime soon. I'd stick with Tesla even with their past pluses/minuses and track record. Sorry!

Battery formulation sucks🎉

So i did put my $500.00 deposit to last year to get a preferred long rang (in Canada) and normally I'll be waiting at least another year... Now why did you make it as if this was Hyundai 's decision is strange as all EV manufacturers have such delays.

The Ioniq 5 does not have true OTA. You need to go into the dealer for most updates.

Bought a 2023 Ioniq 5. Loving it!!

Good to see you back, Alex! I'm off to try to buy one tonight. Wish me luck!

I own an Ioniq 5 for nearly 18 months. Great car. Yeah, the Android Auto not being wireless was a head-scratcher. But, the range is great, the ride is great, and at the time, it was cheaper than a Model Y.

Kia's are having charge port heating problems

I ordered my Ioniq 5 Dec 20/21 and my dealership told me I'll get it in a couple weeks. When I took one out for a test drive I fell in love with it. I hope that Hyundai can solve the charging issue with Tesla and adopt the NACS system next year.

Comparing the i5 with a model Y is just ridiculous. The model Y is not even on the same planet in terms of quality, reliability and comfort. Teslas reputation for breaking like few other cars are something to behold. And model Y being a Tesla makes it one of the ugliest cars in the world.

It can tow 1500kg. But it doesn't have LFP battery.

I wonder if I could get a good deal on one, any recommendations ???

Rear wiper is a big con for me in Quebec ….

Actually strongly considering the Ionic 6.

how does this man look like steve carrell and sound like Gru? is this real life?

Great review

Charge port overheats, research before you purchase. Class action lawsuit following from Hagens Berman.

🏁Tesla model Y will be the most sold carmodel on planet Earth in year 2023 and year 2024 🏁😄

no wifi is good especially since wifi affects the blood brain barrier, that is a pro for me

It's biggest con is that it's not a Tesla 😂

Hyundai non mi ha fatto provare questa macchina peccato , si sono comportati male. Ho comprato una model y😂😂😂😂😂😂
