I’ve been looking for info on the upcoming 2024 model. Aside from recent speculation that it will have a rear wiper ($50,000 seems like a fair price for a wiper), does anyone have any info on what might be included? Or what you might want included?
2024 Ioniq 5. Any info?

With Hyundai mentioning during the IONIQ 5 N launch that they'll be rolling the rear wiper out to all IONIQ 5 'variants' over time - I don't the question is that frivolous as that's apparently the biggest gripe here.
Having done searches on when MY2023 info began coming out, it was between February and April 2022. That’s why I posted, I figured info would probably be emerging around now. Maybe the New York Auto Show the second week of April? Hyundai will be there.
I'm guessing after the formal launch of the IONIQ 5 N they'll also announce additional changes (wiper) to the lineup.

I read somewhere the issue with wireless Android Auto is that vehicle manufacturers and Google can't agree on who's mapping system should have priority. The problem with wireless mapping is there are large parts of Australia (and I'm sure other countries) that don't have the connectivity that allows wireless mapping to work.
And then they ask should they wait dur the 2026 model etc
I have it on good authority that the 2028 model will have dual rear wipers. I’m waiting.
Somewhere it was reported that Hyundai claimed the addition of the wiper was only necessary on the N because its triangular CHMSL required a spoiler design change
That's a point I hadn't considered. When you combine that with the fact that battery preconditioning only works through the cars' nav, it becomes a more complex - and more crucial - issue.
I don't understand all the tech details, but I thought GPS works anywhere you have sufficient proximity to a satellite. (Though perhaps other connectivity is needed for nav to work.) Either way, if the car's nav isn't working there's not really any downside to not being able to run the nav and phone simultaneously.
There is also the fact that infotainment updates are infrequent, and charger infrastructure is increasing rapidly. That doesn't do us much good if we need preconditioning and the nav doesn't know where the latest charging stations are. So to me it means that something we need SOON is the ability to navigate to any location and flag it as a charging station for which the the car will precondition. It would be a win-win - the user gets the preconditioning they need and (if the car talks to Hyundai periodically) Hyundai would get a heads-up on where new charging stations are.
As for running both at once, seems like that should be a fairly easy software fix. But if not, I'd be happy mounting my phone next to the dash, disabling Android Auto / Apple CarPlay and use the USB only to power the phone, allowing it to run independently of the car's systems.

I want the current base model and then be able to pick what features I want individually. For example, I want the base model with:
A sliding console (or least be able to configure the console in the equivalent of the back position)
Ventilated seats
The lounge seat for both driver and passenger
Rear air conditioning/heating
Third row V2L
And a few features from other countries like:
Drawer glove box
Larger frunk
And I want this in RWD, not AWD. I do NOT want the glass roof.
As for tweaks:
Ability to automatically lock when walking away
Be able to put in utility mode and easily leave and lock the vehicle.
Make entering utility mode easier.
Bring back the Nixie Tube design to the radios.
Bring back the old voice that sounds much better
I honestly don't care about the rear wiper after tons of rain we have had, I can say it would make no real difference for me and is just another part to replace when it dies.

Because of mediocre efficiency.. the E-GMP lineup could use another 10 kWh (like the Ariya which has 87 kWh gross). Competitors like the Mach-E have 99 kWh gross and even the BMW i4 has 84 kWh gross. This would add about 30+ miles of range. Competitors like the Lyriq and iX have 103+ kWh battery packs and easily 310+ miles of range.
Auto lock when leaving vicinity of the vehicle
Extra audio speakers for the BOSE system. Would move the audio system from "B-tier" to "B+ tier".
Dashboard integration with Apple CarPlay like the Mach-E and BMW. The Mach-E provides Apple Maps with car battery info so it can determine if you need to charge and destination SoC. It also shows Apple Maps navigation on the dashboard and HUD (on i4).
Rear wiper. Just do it to shut people up and yeah it would useful in heavy Florida rains.

I don't believe that's it. Someone here reported a while ago that Hyundai entered a contract many years ago with TomTom (yeah, they still exist) to provide their mapping software/services. Part of that contract does not allow Hyundai to offer any wireless applications to override the on-board mapping. Thus no support for wireless AA or ACP. Once that contract ends or possibly is re-upped without that stipulation, it shouldn't take much to send an update allowing wireless access.
Back to the original topic, I am not sure we're going to see much difference between 2023 and 2024. The rear wiper is likely, but I wouldn't hold my breath for any other major changes or updates. Probably some new color options and maybe an added feature (on-board dashcam capability?), but considering a big re-design would likely be in 2026, they won't be trying to reinvent the wheel until then.

Since it’s possible the 2025 will be built in the US and eligible for at least part of the federal incentive (fka tax credit but planned to be applied through dealerships by then) the answer for some people will be -yes, wait.

I agree that rear wiper is no big deal for me. Had many other cars that had one and it was rarely used. However, it would be nice to have a rear wiper after taking a poop.😃
