@@TheIoniqGuy Haha, it did! I still remember the emphasis they put on this "new feature" when the release notes for the update came out.

Title should have been: Why to wait to buy 2025

I have the ioniq5 2021 with 66000 km today, bought in Belgium in March 2022, I am EXRTREMELY satisfied, yet I agree with some points: 1. Rear windshield 2. Mediocre software but still functional Other: 1. I have never experienced such bad charging with 11kW AC but it's probably due to the fact we charge in Europe at 3x400V and around 12A max, leading to much less internal charger heating. Only few times during hot summer with temperature above 30°C , I got the charger stop charging. My charger is a Wallbox 3x400V & 32A / 22KW capable, limited to a theoretical max of 11kW by the ioniq5, I have reached up to 9.6kW at beginning of charging. 2. Never had the ICCU problem.

My five: 1. When pulling out from a parked position the front sensors warn you about stuff ahead when you are going in reverse and visa versa. 2. The front seat belt is flush against the plastic and hard to retrieve. There is an indent a few inches below my reach so for those vertically challenged this may not be an issue. 3. The profile takes forever to load and meanwhile I’m getting the seat setting of the previous driver. 4. The air noise from the vision roof seams at the front and rear is too much. 5. None of the cameras can be recorded which is such a waist and liability. I’m not sure if any of these will be fixed in the future but if charge speeds are diminished in the slightest with the J3400 that will be the deal breaker. 💯

Been following you since the beginning and I appreciate your content. Going on 2 years now with my Ioniq5 preferred AWD LR. (Canada) and its coming to and end. I ordered the new 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid arriving in June. Here is what I hated about my car and the reason why I’m trading it in: 1. Suspension: coming from a G80 Sport to this the suspension is one of the worst I’ve ever driven. Roads in Montreal are bad and it’s great for that and potholes. Handles them amazingly. But any wobble on the highway the car feels like it’s about to lose control and neither myself or my wife are too pleased with that feeling. The weight and wobbling are bad. 2. Outside of Quebec the charging is absolute shit. Ontario has bad CCS chargers. Either they work half ass or don’t work at all. Visiting the US it’s even worse. Costs more to charge and almost impossible to find them in proper spots compared to when we travel with our Tesla 3 LR. 3. Missing rear wiper is not something to ignore. It’s put me in situations where I couldn’t see shit behind me at night in a storm cause then entire rear window is covered. Had to pull over and clean it multiple times. Unacceptable. 4. Finally the range. I knew what the range was when I got it. I saved 13k per year on avoiding fuelling. But I can’t get more then 280-300km in winter and 100km exactly more in summer and I’m just absolutely fed up and annoyed with always having to plan around plugging to get places. We still have our Model 3 AWD LR which is amazing for that purpose and trips. So we keeping one EV and getting a hybrid SUV with 800-950km of range per fill up. It was fun and awesome to learn about EVs but my time has ended for my daily.

Personally, my biggest issues with the Ioniq 5 are the OTA software updates being too infrequent, the updates not including what people have been asking for, and the inability for the OTA updates to update ceratin features requiring you to go to a dealership for them to essentially install the update themselves instead of having it be updated via OTA. I understand that certain recalls require the technician to do things the owners can't do, but having the car upload and download a files while ensuing that nobody else can upload and download files doesn't seem like it should be all that complicated now.

Great information about the vehicle....concise and well presented. Keep it going!

Yes, the 2025 rear window wiper will be a welcome addition, but my 2024 digital rear view mirror completely solved that irritation. I DO think a software update is needed, even if it doesn't affect the drivetrain. I never had problems with 48A 11kW charging, but nonetheless lowered my charging station's output to 40A 9.4kW so that it doesn't exceed my solar and Powerwall output in the day. We'll see if my ICCU holds up. NACS? Hopefully an adapter will solve it. Unlike you, I would encourage others to buy a 2024 model: it's a great car!

@lanceareadbhar

2 ай бұрын

I agree with you that a NACs adapter will not be an issue for most people since it is pretty small looking at the one Ford is using for their customers. I assume Hyundai will cover the costs of them if you bought or leased a new one, but there will probably be a delay in orders. Supposedly the Ford one is rated for 1000 Volts and 500 Amps so the only question will be how quickly Tesla sets up the older superchargers to work with the 800 V architecture as that was the biggest reason for the delay in the switch to NACs and having to wait until Q1 2025.

Btw my Model Y doesn’t have a rear wiper and I haven’t thought about it once til now. Im Surprised that it wasn’t a big deal during winter…

@hishamg

2 ай бұрын

I think that’s to do with the the shape of the car. The hatchback style of the Ioniq 5 with its more vertical rear window means it gets more water, muck etc on it. That’s true of most hatchbacks and estates (station wagons) , which is why they usually have rear wipers. I’ve had 2 hatchbacks (a Fiat Punto and a VW Golf) and 2 estates ( a Mazda 6 and a Ford Mondeo) and they all had rear wipers. The more aerodynamic tear drop shape of the MY means that rear wipers aren’t necessary. It’s the same with saloons (sedans) they don’t need rear wipers either. I’m glad that Hyundai have finally realised they made a mistake and fixed it. That doesn’t help people who have the old Ioniq 5. Hyundai should have realised this earlier instead of digging their heels in. No rear wiper is not the end of the world but it is really annoying.

@lanceareadbhar

I think the model Y has a rear window closer to a sedan which don't need a rear wiper either. The more vertical the more stuff won't be taken off by the wind. That said, the lack of a rear wiper is overblown as you don't need a rear window to drive as side mirrors are all that is needed. That said, it is annoying to look at, but a rear window that is only clean where the rear wiper reaches isn't pleasant to look at either.

​@@lanceareadbharjust cause it's not needed doesn't mean that's the major preference. Most people out there wants to see what's directly behind them at all times. This was a major oversight by Hyundai in the first place. Did they not test this vechicle out in the real world before finalizing the design? For the 24 they introduced the video mirror yet only made it available on the most expensive trim. They should've done right and made it standard instead for their lack of knowledge from their design team. I guess getting the least amount of Cd mattered more to them than the driving experience that their own buyers will go through. That being said the lack of a rear wiper made me get the EV6 over the Ioniq 5 as much as I love the design of it. The only year of the Ioniq 5 that I was going to get if I were to get one was the 25. I didn't want to wait that long and plus I was underwhelmed by the 5 N lack of features for the US market that I ended up getting the GT instead recently. For $50K after all discounts and rebates you can't go wrong with that car. The 5 N looks nice but it will expensive at $70K before markups. I wanted an opening sunroof and I wasn't going to track it so the GT was perfect. No rear wiper needed so I'm happy about that.

I am on my 2nd Ioniq 5 limited a (2022). The new one is a 2024 limited. The rear window was a problem with the 2022. The 2024 has a camera which is connected to the mirror. The camera is very good, and so far it has been clear.

Well...we purchased our 2024 SEL in January so...good thing we like it a lot even with the drawbacks you mention. We definitely notice the lack of the rear wiper here in New Mexico during the snowy season when the rear window is constantly in need of cleaning with the squirt bottle and squeegee we now carry in the trunk. Sounds like the re-fresh would have been awesome to hold out for but we needed a new ride now as our teenager has been driving our Subaru and often leaving us stranded...maybe when he goes off to college we'll have to get a 2025 or later Ionic as well. One thing I've never heard anyone complain about that we have noticed is the lack of good side projection of the headlights. The cut off to the side is extreme so that when coming home in the dark and making a sharp turn onto our rural unlit side streets it's really hard to judge where to place the Ionic and we often misjudge as the lights don't light 90 degree side streets until we are well into the turn. Never had this problem with any other car before. Other than that, I'd say we are overall very happy with the car's performance, ride, quietness, traction in the snow, charging speed and comfort. Appreciate all the good advice and info from your site (other than making us think we maybe made our move too soon ;) Best regards--A

I think I read a commentator from Consumer Report who said the same thing - poor headlight design resulting in poor visibility issues.

I've got a 2024 Kona EV top spec(called Premium here in Australia) on order. Looking at your Etsy store which of the cupholder enlargers work for the new 2024 Kona? What is the inside diameter as well of the enlarger as I have a 900ml bottle(sorry not sure of ounces conversion off hand) that fits in the door pocket but may be useful to have it in centre console?

The 2024 limited I got last month has the digital rear mirror, so the rear window getting dirty is less of an issue. Although I think they went too wide with the camera view displayed on the mirror, I'd rather have the same view as I would see through the back window. A new/different ICCU will be needed when they go to the NACS plug, remember they have to add extra circuitry to change the 2 main power pins between AC or DC charging.

Mine over heats at 9.3kw Have set mine to charge at 90% 8kw, no more issues.

I’ll be moving back to the US from overseas soon, early June probably, and the Ioniq 5 is at the top of my list of vehicles I’m considering. I’ve watched this video and your buying used video and I’m torn between saving a lot of money and buying a used limited trim, or trying to wait until I can buy a limited 2025. If I go used will I just regret it and end up trading it in? Would love other’s advice! Also, just want to say thanks for all of the Ioniq 5 content, really helpful and not annoying to watch like so many other car review bros.

Hi Corbin, I charge often with my 22 kw charger at home. It charges of course to only 11.6 to 11.8 kw. I have never had a problem and I think the differece is that we charge with 3 phase 400 volt.

Do all of these issues apply to the Kona Electric as well?

Thanks for the video! The 2025 is looking very interesting indeed. I have some questions if you don't mind: 1. Do you know if it will have V2H through the NACS plug/port? 2.

I used to think fast AC charging (greater than 32A) was unimportant. But now we have 2 EVs. We use the NeoCharge smart splitter and charge the cars one after the other. Now the faster charging is more important.

Welp we just bought a ioniq 5 because we really needed a car ASAP and my mom wanted a EV. The ioniq 5 seems like a the best overall option. The model Y confused my mom too much with everything being on the screen. We only have single phase at our house so we can only do 7Kw so that should be fine. The rear wiper is annoying buy my mom is ok with it. The software is just fine for us, we came from cars that were much worse in their infotainment, also my mom is kind of a "set it and forget it" kind of person. The ICCU issue is a problem I didn't know about, so thanks for letting me know, I will keep it in mind.

Buyer’s remorse for me. March 2023 my 2022 SEL displayed an error message about the battery management system and it would not DC charge. It needed a new VCMS, which took over a week to get. Then it still would not DC charge. It then took weeks for them to figure out they had not plugged in an important wire, which finally fixed the charging. March 2024 (yesterday) similar error message displayed and car would not charge. In the cold rain at night 66 miles from home. Tried 5 different chargers in 3 locations, both DC and AC. Charging would start and then immediately stop. Had to check into a hotel near the EA at 11pm because I was stranded. This morning had it towed to a dealership 60 miles from my home… My first brand new car, and I cannot trust it.

I sold my EV 6 last July when all the ICCU crap started and I had multiple failures to AC charge. Bought a Tesla Model Y and have never looked back. I feel like I made the right choice now that it's apparent they have not actually fixed anything.

I ordered a 2023 Ioniq 5 during COVID and waited 6 months; still no car. Hubby purchased his own 2023 Tesla MYLR, and although it didn't have some of the cool features of the Ioniq 5, it was a cheaper, available and a heck of a lot of fun to drive. So I bought my own 2023 MYLR and have never had so much fun driving a car. Easy to charge at home.

I have the high range 2023 model SE. Could NOT be happier. Have never missed rear wiper. Have never had an overheating problem. Just so happy with the car. Not even tempted to trade for a 2025. Oh. I DO miss being able to open the hatch from inside the car. THAT is ridiculous. But not enough to make me trade in. BTW, could you do a vid about trade-in value of Ioniq 5?

Most of it is true, all second hand EVs drop in value nowadays. From your average Bolt and Leafs up to EQS, Model S, etc. I think it's because the hype has died down for now to own an EV.

Thanks man

When I bought my Ioniq 5 in 2022, I was fully aware that I was buying Hyundai's first mass-market EV and that therefore there would be teething issues. To me, all of your five reasons have only been teething issues that will get solved. The most serious issue you haven't actually even mentioned, and this is the 12V battery issue, which is fundamentally an issue of EMP cars remaining active for hours after parking them and eating up 12V power, or any power for that matter. And this is something the refresh is unlikely to solve. That said it is still better than Sentry Mode on Teslas eating up 10% of the main battery in a day!

I dropped the charge current to 36 amps with my JuiceBox charger and never had the overheating problem. I don't have a long commute so taking 7 or 8 hours to charge overnight is not an issue. I also took the car into the dealer to get the ICCU fix installed before anything happened, so I've never been stranded with it. I have never had an issue with the 12 volt battery.

I got a new 23 sel for 38k. I would not have paid 50k+ so I am fine with the decision to buy now. The upgrades would not make me spend msrp.

So dude, you're basically telling everyone who bought a 2024 to this point that you so highly touted even a month ago that they just made a big mistake... C'mon.

I’m not insisting that anybody made a mistake. If they did any of their own research then they should already know about these issues and that they could potentially have to deal with them. I’m simply putting them all into one video so potential customers can find this information in a more concise fashion

Given all of the Ioniq 5 hype over the years, I waited because there were things like Apple Car Keys that I wanted on my next car. Looks like the stuff I have been waiting for are finally coming in 2025. Maybe they even fixed the ICCU issue?

Top reason is inadequate battery pack protection and high replacement cost that led to several vehicles being written off in Canada following minor underbody impacts.

This is indeed a disturbing issue, but I've only heard of two card being written off. Is someone keeping track of this? It seems odd that Canada would have two of these (at least) but I haven't hear of it happening in the US.

@@peterfessier9780 I don't believe Hyundai corporate has offered to assist the owners, nor have they addressed the problem publicly as far as I know. Tesla had a problem with a few early Model S vehicles damaged by road debris, and they quickly developed a protective plate and raised the ride height slightly with an over the air software update.

Says the …ioniq guy🤦‍♀️

My 5 reasons: The dealership experience is absolute trash.

This blog is hated by Hyundai, this is why you did not get invited for ioniq 5N test drive.

Yeah I suppose being an advocate and generating millions of dollars in revenue for them is a good reason to be hated.

Washing my car is one of my hobbies. Easy remedy to the rear windshield is just ti wash your car once a week. I also own a 2021 explorer that has a rear wiper. Hardy use it.

Same here. Exactly. Most of the folks on here are noobs! 😄 I do ridesharing and live in an area that goes through a whole winter season with lots of cold and snow. I've had to wash my 5 like 5 times a week or even every day I use it sometimes because I don't like my cars to be all filthy. Yeah, it can be tedious to think to do that, but you end up taking pleasure in taking good care of your whip.

you should say 5 reason not to buy old ioniq 5..lmao

My Ioniq 5 has had sooo many problems. Apple Car Play took over a year to fix, software update issues and now its stopped charging tripping my house and office electrics... customer services in the Uk have been awful. I love the car but with the number of faults and poor service i can't see me getting another when this goes back next year. Shame.

Top reasons why this “guy” deserves a drama award. Also, is it possible the problems happen only to him as if he was cursed? 2022 Ioniq 5 SE ZERO issues. Am I blessed?

Too difficult to for you to admit that maybe not everybody is going to agree with you that the car doesn’t have a single flaw?

It's why I never buy an electric vehicle. I lease them.

@lanceareadbhar

2 ай бұрын

Haha. Leases are more expensive long term, but getting a new car every number of years with the latest features and not worrying about being out of warranty can be worth the extra cost. This obviously assumes you don't travel more than the miles in your lease as that's when the costs can become outrageous quickly.

@@lanceareadbharnot really. Depends on lease deals. I leased a NEW Ioniq 2019 EV for $150/month and $0 down. While this deal was great there are great lease deals to be had. Hell you can lease a model Y from Tesla for $4500 down and $300 a month. Buying a used car and having one or 2 out of warranty $3k repairs…plus tires ($1200) and other repairs and leasing is cheaper.

This seems like good advise in regards to the loss of value of an EV. I've never leased before as I usually keep my cars for a fairly long time, but it's getting tempting now. I'd have to let go of my need to own my cars though.

Last week the 12v battery died on our EV6, brought it to Kia for battery replacement, it’s still there - they can’t figure it out so gave us a loaner.

One day is the best next day don't buy

@@pewpewpower I do not feel comfortable with not having a rear windshield wiper because in winter it is impossible to see anything when the snow and other road crud deposits. That's the main reason.

I don't understand why people foolishly continue to buy Hyundai and kias after a solid record of poor quality parts, outrageous repair costs to any battery issue, and fires for their plug in hybrids and EVs. I guess Hyundai & Kia buyers just begging for trouble and I think BYD quality would also be on par with Hyundai & Kia. Tesla used to have some issues in 2013 - 2017 but now the quality and tech in a 2023/2024 Tesla is so far ahead of the competition.

Save yourself a headache. Get a Tesla model Y

OR maybe it’s because to replace the battery it costs more than the car was BRAND NEW… How the fuck does that make any sense

When the nacs charging port is on the car i will consider leasing.
