5 Months with my IONIQ 5, not fond of it...
Hi everyone,
i got my RWD IONIQ 5 with all options but the AWD system and 20" wheels in Dezember 21 and would like to write my humble review here, of course im complete open minded to opnions but i have to say i'm more disapointed with the car then i thought, and maybe this post can help future owners.
A bit of myself that maybe can help this post's readers to understand my point of view.
Im a fast car lover (alredy onwed AMGs, a heavily modified Golf GTI, Megane RS, Citroen VTR) so im very open minded about manufactures and construction quality, but above that im a family guy and my son was born at the end of 2020 so i needed a bigger car, thats why i decided to go to an SUV, and i can charge my car free of cost thats the reason why i opted for an 100% electric car. And with all that in mind the IONIQ5 was for me the best Cost x Benefit i could find.
I work as a Infotainment software developer for in the Automotive section in Germany that gives me a bit of know-how at some aspects.
Let me start with the good points:
1: Performance: For a 2 Ton+ car and 200+ Horsepower the car has a reasonable performance for overtakes and cruising in Highways, the top speed on the Cluster is limited at 191 Km/h.
2: Confort: The car is extremly confortable and fits perfectly 4 adults and an Isofix 360° turnable Child Seat. The leather seats are great + the panoramic sunroof
3: Charging is really good, at the company that i work there are another electric cars (eTron, eUP, Taycan, Nissan Leaf and others) and in an CCS adapter the IONIQ5 was the 2° fastest at the same conditions
4: The design, i think it is really ahead of its time and a neck breaker (although it reminds me of an PS5
)
5: The AR on the HUD is really nice
Now why this car annoys me with the time:
1: Persistence of configurations on the system:
3: The availability of reposition parts, i was unfortunatelly in a accident and wait already 3 months (without estimated delivery date) for a headlight, front bumber, left led stripe, bonnet, and some other things) The car drives, but without ACC and left turning signal. (The attention that this car draws on the street with the damage front cant be a good image for Hyundai, a lot of people mostly other IONIQ drives already spoke me on about it)
4: Seatbelt from the back seats are always making noise with the C-Column
5: Auto-Hold shuts itself down, so sometimes when i park the car rolls down a bit just when people are getting out.
6: Why in this world this car doesnt have a rear window wiper? in rainy and snowy days it is impossible to see anything
7: On Sport mode if the media is off, the electric motor causes interference in the front speakers wit a really high pitch noise.
8: The charging port open system is just poorly designed, my wife always have problems opening it as it needs a certain amount of strenght/feeling
Neutral observation: The relax function of the seats are FOR ME useless, is not that confortable for a long time since the leg supports are too short and doesnt go all the way up (I'm 1,90m)
Fact: The negative points of the car are the ones that i have to live with it almost everyday, thats why im disappointed with the car
If i remember anything else i will write it in an topic
Want to make clear again, thats my personal opinion. The car doest have any pending updates or recalls, It has ca. 9000km on

Now why this car annoys me with the time:
1: Persistence of configurations on the system:
- The HUD position are after 3 or 4 new bus cycles reseted, deactivation of the line changing assistence this is not always reproduceable but after i deactivated it, it activated itself again 2 or 3 times by itself.
- The Bluelink/Profile settings mixed up my configurations with my wifes profile once (i entered the car started it accepting the therms from my profile) and the seat position and colors schemes from my wife were loaded.
- At media, i deactivated the Media auto start, that works ok since the radio doesnt start automatically but instead the Ambient Sound starts sometimes, its really creepy to enter the car and caffe people talking out of the blue (i always use CarPlay), the fact that Wireless CarPlay is not available it also sad.
- When im alone i listen to loud music, but when im with the little kid it cant be that loud, thats why i activated the confort volume of media, but still sometimes the media starts at the volume 60+ and i ahve to activated it again.

So looking back is there another EV you wished you had bought instead? a Tesla? or?Hi everyone,
i got my RWD IONIQ 5 with all options but the AWD system and 20" wheels in Dezember 21 and would like to write my humble review here, of course im complete open minded to opnions but i have to say i'm more disapointed with the car then i thought, and maybe this post can help future owners.

5: The AR on the HUD is really nice
Now why this car annoys me with the time:
1: Persistence of configurations on the system:
2: The Bose sound system is really disappointing, the back speakers are only set to a fraction of the total volume

Thats my problem, my Auto Hold turns itself off, dont know why.
Q4E und E Tron, Kia Ev6 although its the "same" car, XC40 Recharge and the Polestar 2.
Whish i could do it
the Headlight cannot be salvaged. DRL and Indicators doesnt work anymore, Headlight and High Beam works but a little downwards.Yes of course, not only parts but also electronic components, its a worldwide logistics issue. But still deserves a complain
I’ll just say I’m sorry to hear of your problems and hope your parts come soon. Good luckHi everyone,

I personally can not get enough of my LR RWD 77.3 kw version. I have just booked my car in for a very nice stereo upgrade that will outperform the Bose system once finished 19' wheels are perfect, cloth seats super comfortable, did not need all the bells and whistles. Car has really been great over the 6400km to date w decent efficiency
