I bought my ioniq5 in March 2021, it has about 60000 km / 40000 miles and I am EXTREMELY satisfied. Build quality is amazing. I have the Belgian "balance" trim, fully equiped except roof window. One single mini problem of sensor recalibration in almost 3 years. Service in Belgium is good, no problem. About efficiency it's what I expected with an average of 20 kWh/100 km. And a max range of 350km in winter, 450km in summer for the 73kWh battery. The best of the car : charging in less than 30min from 15% to 90% and 20min to 80% during summer. Given my very good experience, the next will most probably be Hyundai/Kia again. And this car is SOOOOOO SEXY !
@@alpertekniker6073 yes but limited. When charging at 16A in full sun, with high summer temperature of 33-34 °C = 91-92°F which is rare in Belgium... This happened maybe 3 or 4 times.
Just a note: that is the top-line Limited trim. It has a lot of cool, blingy features that aren't on the SE or SEL (like the LED bumper lines, moveable floor console, cooled seats, B-pillar vents, 360 camera, ambient lighting, etc.) HUD and Vista roof are options.
Criminally underviewed review. Great real-world walk around and demonstrations. There's a crazy lease deal going on right now, and your review will save a lot of time before walking into the dealer. Thanks!
They don't give you a free L2V adaptor to run that microwave. Unless it's a local Dealer bonus. The inboard L2V is only on the top trim I believe. The steering wheel may be capacitance, but it still requires a slight jiggle when it starts complaining it can't find your hands. Even at the 10 and 2 position it'll complain if you are not putting any input into the steering. The thing beside the display isn't a magnet, it's a steel plate you can attach magnetic objects to.
Great car, but if you can wait until the 2025 mid cycle refresh drops in the Fall, most of the 23-24 owner complaints have been addressed including receiving FULL OTA updates (over the air) which has been a deal breaker for us hardcore Electro-Heads
worth noting. There is on the market now an aftermarket , wireless rear window wiper that attaches with vaccume/magnetic, and is is used with a little dongle you can put on the magnet at the dash. USD its just shy of 500 bucks, which is not nothing, but its called teh geckowiper, and for the areas that absolutely need a clear window, its a fairly painless option to adopt.
The heatng ony goes up to 27° both sides. The paddles for regenerative braking will not engage with your foot on the brake. Also, the paddles are difficult to use when turning the steering wheel.
5:10 Those 4 pixels as an H .. Just look for the old MORSEcode tables. The H is equal to those 4 points (pixels) 8:30. You did not show the option to heat the backseat for passengers...it is available (project 45 edition) About the trunk. Just show how to increrase that by moving the back seats forward (ca 12 cm) and or put the backrest more vertically. This increases the trunc . About driving. Why going for more sprty feelings? I like, special on longer travels, the comfort. And I do not complain about the driving of this car. As information , previous decades, I never looked for sport ICE cars. Also you'll get faster attention from police officers in a sport car.
I have a Rav4 Prime, have driven a Tesla and have driven a Mustang Mach E (all 2022-2023 models) I ended up getting this Ioniq on a rental when I asked for the Mustang. I do not like the Ioniq at all! They had so many tech options that they ignored. Why pay $50-60k for a car that skipped on all of the tech that the other $50k cars have included? And I don’t even get why. Was there a trade off like a bigger engine for lesser tech?
Only thing I need to know is that if you so much as scuff the underside of the car, you are looking at a battery replacement that costs as much as the car - whenever they can get a new battery and with no loaner
Oh dear...no. proven story that the dealer was idiotic and just wrote a stupid estimate so insurance company would write the car off. Even Hyundai Canada confirmed that the price the dealer quoted was more than 2 times what it actually would have cost...just more anti EV stupidity. Proven that the dealer never even removed the battery to actually inspect!!! Yes the battery is expensive as any new technology is but no where near what was quoted...lazy dealer. Cheers Mike 🇨🇦
I would prefer to buy the volvo s60 t8 model. It is the most beautiful and elegant sedan ever made. You are not stressed because you have nowhere to charge the battery.
Number 21, a small road hazard bump to the undercarriage will 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.
I wouldn`t have any EV , for that reason alone.A newish car that could so easily be written off is not very green is it ,and it`s not going to save the planet.
The reports about having the "junk" the car due to the battery protection plate bwing scratched. With a replacement cost of 56k for juat a new battery, plus labor amd taxes... With that in mind, that means there cant be any resale value after 5 to 8 yrs. As by that time the batteries will have been worn out/degraded enough that the range will be reduced enough. That a new battery will be required... But will cost as of 2024 more than the cost of the car new..
That story is garbage!!!! It was an idiotic dealer who wrote a stupid estimate so the insurance company would just write the car off. Hyundai Canada confirmed this that the dealer quoted more than 2 times what the battery is worth. Just an incompetent dealer. Retail price of battery is about $26,000 Canadian (yes that is still stupid expensive but price out a new crate engine from GM for Chevy Yukon...not quite that pricey but still north of $10,000) Labour's is about $1300 to change. So the story really is crap...the dealer never even took the time to remove the battery and test it! Mike 🇨🇦
@@michaellippmann4474 I can see possibly the first one was a combination of driver / dealership issue. There is a confirmed second story. From a lady in Canada with almost the same issue but no radiator damage or other problems found. Literally ran over something scraped the bottom of the battery protector. And they're essentially junk in the car. But even taking the first one into account, this is the kind of response people can expect from these dealerships. That's extremely off-putting.
@@NomadCF yeah no doubt this can happen and it will be expensive. But the same can and does happen to ICE vehicles as well. Locally here a 2021 or 22 Silverado with a diesel ran over a piece of steel pipe, bounced up and took off the oil pan and impaled itself into the transmission. Replacing the engine and transmission had to be an expensive proposition? In any case it just seems like battery prices get exaggerated in many "news" stories. I know exactly what a new 77kwh battery for my Ioniq5 costs. Do I anticipate ever having to change it? Probably not, we drive 50,000 - 60,000 km a year, on this car we have 45,000 km in 7 months...0 issues. But that being said I have owned 100+ ICE vehicles and never really had any major issues so I am not worried or concerned at all. Cheers Mike 🇨🇦
Oh how I hate the term 'frunk'. Like 'webinar' and 'Brangalina' its a stupid, unnecessary term that doesn't really solve anything. "Front trunk" is far more descriptive, NOT stupid and only 'costs' a single syllable.
HYUNDAI = OWNERSHIP NIGHTMARE!! The high voltage battery in my 2017 Sonata PHEV died under warranty when the car was only four years old with 42,000 miles. Hyundai refused to repair or replace the battery under warranty. I had to go through non lemon law arbitration to have the vehicle repurchased, which I won easily. However, Hyundai then decided to miscalculate the repurchase amount and attempted to underpay me by $2000.00. This forced me to go through arbitration a second time, which I won (again). The whole process took 18 months…No loaner. If you own a Hyundai…Sell that piece of crap while you can…
I have just been watching a vid that shows a fairly new Hyundai Iqonic 5 with an accidentally damaged battery . The cost of new battery was $60 K Canadian,which is $5 K more than a new vehicle.and not covered by warranty. So no matter how good you think it is,the reallity is very different.I wouldn`t have one as a gift. It`s a load of crap.
Well of course it's not covered by warranty, that's not what warranties are for. You can't total your car and claim it's a manufacturing fault... Wouldn't you just use your insurance?
@@Drift-yf4rn Sure, thats right,but driving over something like a lost exhaust totalled the car??? what? These things have the most valuable part of the car placed in the most vulnerable possition and it is not sufficiently protected.Great design -- Not.Same accident in ICE car may result in damage ,but nowhere near to that extent,probably repairable for a few hundred $.Sorry EV`s are crap, until the battery is a lot better and a lot cheaper.
It's one video, it's not the case at all for most battery replacements. Plus you have warranty, and for accident damage you have insurance. This isn't a reason not to buy the car.
Having an expensive single point of failure is an issue all EVs have. Understand your insurance coverages and risk tolerance. There are always nightmare insurance stories, but generally speaking the cost should be partly in higher car prices (manufacturers insurance), higher insurance premiums, more exclusions/partial coverage (to cover insurer risk). Caveat emptor. Before I get an EV, I'll review all of these but I suspect it will be fine because the companies and governments want us to buy these cars and too many horror stories kills adoption, just like vehicle fires.

Except it's not. I mean in fairness I don't live in Canada, but it'd be a quarter that cost in the UK unless there was other extensive damage. Important to do your research instead of relying on one story that's widely shared online.... Which doesn't always make it true.

I’m blind in my left eye so I’m looking for some blind spot help, are there good warnings if a car is coming up in someone’s blind spot. Thank you.
Yea in high trim it has a camera view from side mirrors appear in dash.
are you legally allowed to drive while being blind in one eye?
worth noting. There is on the market now an aftermarket , wireless rear window wiper that attaches with vaccume/magnetic, and is is used with a little dongle you can put on the magnet at the dash.

I'm really digging the video display in the Hyundai Ioniq 5.
Amazing video. I would include km, as miles are dead in the world. A few small countries are still using it, though
I leased my 5 Limited Disney and love it!! Great Review!!!
“ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT REVIEW, QUITE INFORMATIVE AND VERY ENTERTAINING 😊
The charging speed over the mach-e is also a huge win.
One other thing I don’t like is the lack of usb-C but still would choose the Ioniq 5
You just can insert an USB A to C adapter😊
The new ones have USB-C and a rear wiper ++
Have a 2024 Ionic 5 Disney no rear wiper
